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.

Defoliated and given the last nutrients before harvest, planning to cut in roughly 2 weeks. Depending on weather conditions and trichomes. Bud shots are the best of each strain.
Mango Kush: has the most buds overall. Some of them seem a to be not very dense though. Little whispy buds start low on the branch and then progress to some fat tips.
White Widow: seems to have denser buds but much less. The plant has always wanted to go straight up and has very rigid branches. This strain should probably get training early on to maximize bud potential.
Green Crack: has big buds at the tip of each branch but they aren't very long. Though the buds seem very dense and heavy.

DAY 49 : Another week passes and these 2 ladies are still up for the fight to another week.
Banana is still struggling g in the middle and cant seem to get ahead. She smells beautiful up close but is sadly not a great competitor so far. What she does have in buds is smelling nice and they are fairly solid to touch , just not a big plant really.
Monster Zkittelz on the other hand is a beast of plant . I Have been pulling lowers up to the light this week and she is so covered in secondary growth with nice sized , glistening buds that smell candy sweet . Grows very like GG in her thin arms and bigger buds but with a scrog net this strain would produce so well. I am not disappointed in her in any way. Another week and let's see where she is at then.

Woche 4 bricht an und es läuft hervorragend! Die Orange Sherbet bekommt diese Woche frischen Boden: eine Mischung aus Bio-bizz All-Mix und Greenhouse-Feeding, perfekt für die letzten Vegetationswochen und blüte. Zudem hat sich die Orange Sherbet sehr gut mit dem Backhefe-Buttermilch-Melasse-Experiment entwickelt, was zu einem starken CO2-Anstieg auf bis zu 1500 ppm geführt hat. 💨 Ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in der neuen Umgebung entwickeln wird. Auf der anderen Seite explodieren die Frozen Black Cherries förmlich in der Hydroponik! 🌱 Die Entwicklung ist beeindruckend, und ich könnte nicht zufriedener sein mit ihrem Fortschritt. Die Blütephase rückt näher, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich alles weiterentwickelt! Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden! 🚀
Week 4 is here, and things are going great! The Orange Sherbet is getting new soil this week—a blend of Bio-Beth All-Mix and Greenhouse-Feeding, setting her up perfectly for the final weeks of vegetation and . Additionally, the Orange Sherbet has responded well to the back yeast-buttermilk-molasses experiment, resulting in a significant CO2 increase of up to 1500 ppm. 💨 I'm excited to see how she adapts to her new environment. Meanwhile, the Frozen Black Cherries are absolutely thriving in hydro! 🌱 Their growth has been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more impressed with their progress. The flowering phase is getting closer, and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds! I'll keep you updated! 🚀

Tras un pequeño fallo con la iluminación (5 horas apagado cuando tenía que estar encendido ).
He decidido hacer ya el cambio a floración,espero que no sea muy tempranero y se queden muy pekeñas las niñas .
Mañana mismo empezaremos con los fertilizantes de floración controlando el pH en 6.5.
Todavía no he defoliado nada y nose si quitaré alguna hoja o solo las intentaré apartar sin que moleste a las llemas .veremos cómo prosigue la cosa 💚
Adjunto un vídeo con el tutorado y la poda de bajos realizada ..
Gracias growers!💚

~ DUTCH PASSION / SUPER SATIVA SEED CLUB FAST FLOWER 'TESTER' A and 'TESTER' B ~
Well cannafam, here we go again on another growing adventure together! This diary will be special to me for two reasons, one because I have the opportunity to cultivate some new and exciting strains from two of the TOP breeders in the industry! The second reason this will be special to me is that I will be growing these two strains in a brand new greenhouse that I put up! I'm super stoked to see how these two ladies turn out in this new setup.
On to the strains:
'Tester' Strain A info: Hybrid (I/S) | 6-7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Sweet, Candy
'Tester' Strain B info: Indica-Dominant (90%) | 7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Peppery, Sweet
I hope that you enjoy this run as much as I will... It's going to be fun and interesting for sure!
~GROW WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU GROW!~
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Setup:
These beauties will be growing in a brand spanking new 10x14' greenhouse that I have equipped with automatic window openers, a complement of Hurricane fans and a de-humidifier/heater to help keep the environment as dialed in as possible.
I started both tester in glasses of tap water, where they soaked for 24hrs. After soaking, they were placed directly into whole eggshells with just their tops removed to make a natural seed starting pot that I filled with a 70/30 blend of Coco/Perlite which was pre-moistened with well water ph'd to 6.2, then placed under a 50w full spectrum LED on a 24hr light schedule.
Once, they both have their second set of leaves emerged, I plan on starting to put them in the greenhouse for 2-3 hour a day for a few days to help them acclimate and 'harden off' in the greenhouse. I'll be starting both off in 1qt pots, then transplanting them into to gradually larger pots until they're around 6 weeks old, then they will go into their final pots which are 25g fabric pots.
I mix my initial medium using 3 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics 4-4-4 along with 1 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics Glacial Rock Dust for the trace minerals it provides, 1 tbsp/g of Down To Earth Kelp Meal, 1 tbsp/g of Trichoderma/Mycorrhizae, and 1 cup/g of Wiggle Worm Castings. I hand mix my amendments to ensure an even distribution throughout the medium. I'll be watering with well water ph'd to 6.2-6.8 and providing bi-weekly compost tea's throughout the run.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weekly Updates:
5/16- Week Five is here and I couldn't be happier with how both of the Testers from Dutch Passion/SSSC are doing! Both are continuing to have excellent vigor and are 'praying' hard every day... VERY happy ladies!
5/18- Today, I watered both Testers with 1.5g of straight well water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 70℉. I also removed some new shoots growing down low on both plants to help redirect energy towards the upper portions.
5/20- Yesterday and today were cool and rainy, so all I really did was to spend some quality time with the ladies, giving them both a good looking over to catch any issues well before they get out of hand. Both looked fantastic!
5/22- Yesterday, both Testers were watered with 2g of well water with 3 tbsp/g of Worm Tea concentrate, which was ph'd to 6.4 @ 72℉. I have also started to do some HST on both, twisting and bending branches to allow light to reach down into their canopies.
Well fam, Week Six of veg is on the books for these two gorgeous girls from Dutch Passion/Super Sativa Seed Club and I am absolutely impressed with how well both are doing despite the rather warm temp's right now... Strong ladies!💪
Thank you for visiting my diary, I hope you will follow along and hope you enjoy what I do! Stay Blessed!😎💚

Good growth and upward spurt in full swing with the pre-flower sites lengthening. No more LST now.
Water consumption is about a litre a day.
But.....a couple of leaves have some brown spots!!!!! Arghhhhhh. Perhaps the base soils nutrients were dying off? Who knows, started flower nutrients at a 1/4 strength. Fingers crossed no more brown spots.

AAAnd there you have it. A nice experience, my second time making seeds!
I harvested the first day of week 15. A lot to say about this experiment. It came out awesome, lots of seeds (more than 100!) Wich I also tested and came out with the exact same phenotype.
I added some more pictures of the outcome and of the seeds, cause I don't have much more data about the harvest! Sorry for the last time haha!
Also! Leave a comment if you want to see more old diaries, I might have 4 or so documented like this, Including the first test of the seeds Wich you see some pics here 🤞.

Absolutely blasting off, topped for last time this previous Friday, everything is bouncing back perfect growth has exploded. Still having a slight yellowing on the edges that can't seem to address, I fed every nutrients needed + calmag, pH is 6.7 on runoff, I feed Everytime with 6.4-6.5 pH, it has only received light feedings of Lotus nutrients and I have amended the soil with GaiaGreen 4-4-4 again, so I am hoping that fixes whatever issue is going on.
But the smell is REMARKABLE, not even flowering yet but the stems REEK. A strong funky skunk smell from the stem rub.
Going to tie down some more branches this week, and keep an eye on the leaves might introduce a superthrive foliar to get these things doing okay, I don't believe it's nutrient deficiency, but it could be nutrient lockout, not due to pH but maybe salt buildup? I tried flushing the soil one time but maybe it wasn't enough?
Will keep everyone updated!
Also yes I am aware 9 weeks is incredibly long for the progress it's showing but I left it in starter pot for 3-4 weeks, so it is about 6 weeks old progress wise, I intentionally slowed it down until I had room in the tent!

week intel:
its time to harvest top buds!
because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days
stresses :
flushing
Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week
feeding:
day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph
day 3 : no more feeding from now on
day 5 : no more feeding from now on
guide of the week :
i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave.
its crucial to get uniformed buds in terms of quality that you let the lower buds to get some extra air and especially light! then the pop corn buds quality will reach the top buds.
my dry and cure style is this:
3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month.
im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Auto Opium week 8 8/11-17
For my outside ladies, Opium, Auto Opium, Fractal, and Lemon Cake not much changed. They continue lovin life outside. These ladies are maturing as many fans are yellowing and falling off.
Temps are comfortable following Storm Debbie., in the 80 with low humidity Auto Opium is thin and spindly, branches continue to bend so I added hoop supports. I sure hope she makes it to the end in one piece. If necessary, I remove the colas and chuck into the freezer.. Buds are fattening up, trichomes are minimal at this time but some fragrance is starting to be noticed.
Thank you @DivineSeeds
Thanks for the visits, likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚.
Have fun & love what you grow 💚
Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing 💫

So now we got some better pics of the manifold out of the tent! Yay! You can see how I defoliated her to allow as much light into the center as I can. I am adjusting her spot in the tent so I can position another one in the center, which should be groovy as the stretch is now pretty much done.
Supercropping?! What!? In the 4th week of flower?!
I know right?! But check it out, it was initially a mistake. I was doing a little LST and a bend went a little too far. So I got the idea, since some growers supercrop early in flower anyways - I am going to go ahead and supercrop that entire plant where the branches are too long anyways! Woohoo! The theory being, it can grow even gnarlier and more potent buds, and new bud sites where the supercrop occurs. However, doing it at week 4 is a bit iffy! But, we will see - it could turn out super rad! Fingers crossed! I took pics of the bended branches so you can see just how far along I am in flower and how they are bent. We will definitely be keeping an eye on these.
So that puts us officially at the following plant tests:
1 Topped Once (4+ cola)
1 Topped Twice (Manifold - 8 cola)
1 FIM (8+ colas)
1 FIM + Supercrop (8+ colas)
Going to be fun to see how it works out! ✌️

Una semana mas me quedo sorprendido de lo rapido que ha vuelto a ser una selva...🤣 Tube que doblar la mas alta de la mesa A porque tocaba el foco, se recupera bien, pero no entiendo que a dia de hoy sigan creciendo en altura, porque y es demasiado i me quedo sin espacio. He incrementado el riego de tres fases y de 3’ a 5’ para ver si la misma velocidad ee crecimento lo hace en floración.

Planta que decia ciclo de 65, recien estuvo lista a los 90. Pero creo que va a dar cerca de 100g secos
