The Permanent Markers are finally taking off! They've at least doubled in height since last week. Of course, they're still really small, but it's cool to see them finally getting going. They look healthy and are developing nicely. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

Week 8

Week 14 - August 13 Back from holidays. One week without carrying plants. All is Ok ✅ the Blumat irrigation system worked perfectly, Aphids are totally eradicated: the Garlic mixture is a miracle. 🐛I found 5 caterpillars on 2 plants: it makes lot of damage on a Bubble Gum I didn’t mention in the diary, but the other are safely. caterpillars are the Enemy N°1 at this point: must check everyday.

Presence of leafminer flies but nothing important. -Royal Moby, seriously injured by sunburn and aphids aggression: recovering good, amazing stretch (sativa dominant) 140cm high , new branches are healthy. Flowering stage not engaged. -GMOxZombie Kush, was pretty shocked by aphids and sunburn too but problems are resolved: the plant is not too bad, starting a pre flowering period. 115cm -Flash Back #2 start flowering. Perfectly healthy, no pests, diseases or deficiency. Gook stretch last weeks, lot of ramifications and booming sites.130cm -Brake Pad Breath is the most advanced with a flowering stage engaged since 2 weeks. Super heathy, efficient bushy structure with lot of branches: my Favorite! 🌞Daylight 14h15 - 7h05 / 21h11 Around 26 to 32°C this week, hot night, sunny day, little bit of humidity. 💦Watering 1,5L / 3 days 💪Nutrients: Master Grower Floraison by Hydropassion

Topping

Aug 29th - week 8 for Machupi’s Lady - week 6 for Russian Tzar Bomba - week 5 for LSD - week 4 for the rest (as mentioned, I prepped all plants a few days early for Flower; amendments n meals, week 4 is legit - sending a bug photo (above) to the question people - Plants fed nutrients as above; PurpsBerry fed OVERDRIVE instead of Rezin Sept 4th - last day of week 4 flower for most of the Plants. Except for Machupi’s Lady, LSD, Russian Tzar Bomba they are a few weeks ahead of schedule. - machupi gets inspected this aft, it might be time… - amending the soil of these remaining plants today - both Congo #3 x Bangi Haze and the Russian Tzar Bomba get a visit tomorrow. Some DeFol, some Food, (they were soil amended earlier this week) and some definite love and scrutiny are in store. It’ll end up on next weeks report, but thats whats scheduled. - Russian Tzar Bomba is down to the final few… She gets spoiled tomo !!!

Last week, first of flowering, was outstanding, I could water the girls regulary and the work paid off they stretched a lot and are looking super healthy. The girl right below the upper fan is suffering a bit with the shadows and is notoriously shorter than her sisters, I will need to rethink the air circulation for the next grow. Another concern of mine is their height, hoping they dont stretch anymore as the lights are already at maximum possible height inside tent and there is only 20cm gap between it and the plants.

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

This week was emotionally tough. The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake hasn’t handled the transition well. Her color shifted to a dull, washed-out tone, the posture weakened, and the overall metabolism seems depressed. The stress accumulated during late veg is still showing: nutrient fluctuations, environmental instability, and then the photoperiod flip pushed her over the edge. She simply didn’t bounce back. At this stage, expectations for yield have to be revised downward. This run won’t deliver what the early training and maintenance work could have produced. Still, the plan is to take the plant to harvest rather than abandoning the cycle. Even a weak yield will provide useful feedback about stress management during pre-flower. The priority now is stability: hold EC steady, avoid aggressive feedings, monitor pH drift daily, and maintain a gentle VPD to reduce transpiration stress. No interventions this week other than observation and minor parameter corrections. The goal is to see whether she stabilizes or declines further. Next update in one week.

At day 35 and they have begun to flower. I cut back the amount of nutrients I was using to help with the tip burn. So far so good!

Week 23 - 29 July 25 July - feed day 27 July - feed day (1.3 L)

Week 10 brought on a wave of maturity. The plant is clearly in her final chapter - the fade has intensified, but it's graceful and expected. Buds are swelling, the scent profile has deepened, and structure remains solid and symmetrical. 💛 Yellowing & Defoliation I removed a fair number of yellowing fan leaves this week. Most came off effortlessly, the stems giving way with a gentle pull. The yellowing has crept upward slightly, but no signs of distress or runaway deficiency. It's senescence - and it feels like the right time. 💧 Feeding & Watering This week I broke my usual rhythm and fed twice in a row, both times at full strength, which the plant handled perfectly. The yellowing seemed to halt afterward - no fresh tip burn, no clawing. Nutrient mix (per 2L water): 3.5 mL Micro 3.5 mL Grow 5.0 mL Bloom (PH’d to 6.43 using hard tap water) On Day 70, she was visibly dry, so I gave her 2L of plain pH 6.43 water. She drank it eagerly - dryback is getting quicker as the buds pull harder now. 🌿 Aroma & Structure She's putting out a layered, sweet-and-spicy scent - cookie dough, citrus peel, pine, and a warm touch of cardamom. Colas are dense, resin-heavy, and impressively uniform. The trellis net came off this week to open up the canopy and prepare for harvest. 🧠 Harvest Considerations According to Zamnesia’s specs, she could be ready around now - but visually and chemically, she’s still not there. I'm aiming for a harvest on Day 80 (July 24), just before I leave. Someone else will handle the chop shortly after I leave for vacation. The trichomes were still mostly clear at the end of this week, with no amber visible yet - but we’re watching closely. I’m not chasing heavy amber, just looking for that sweet spot of peak cloudy with a touch of amber for depth.

**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 1 Flowering Phase** Ayo, what’s good fam? Zuppler back in this b**** with the week 1 flowering update, straight outta the capital. We just flipped the switch to that 12/12, and these girls already know what time it is – they starting to stretch out like they tryna reach for the stars. We runnin’ that Ape Formula from Advanced Nutrients, got the whole squad dialed in on some next-level s***. Feeding them queens like they royalty, nah mean? We keepin' it real precise with that RO water – pure as it gets, no cap. I ain't lettin' no junk minerals mess up the game. We stayin’ locked on that pH balance like a sniper, so the nutes hit right, and them roots keep drinkin’ smooth. So far, no issues – the plants look strong, real healthy. Ain’t no signs of deficiencies, and the leaves stayin’ green like money. The canopy lookin’ good too, spreadin’ out evenly. All them colas just gettin' ready to explode. You already know, we keepin’ everything low stress, tryin’ to maximize that yield without no drama. Temperature’s steady, humidity right where it need to be – we not takin’ no L’s, bro. It’s early days, but the stretch is comin’ in strong. In a minute, these girls gon' be stackin’ up them buds real heavy. I can already tell we ‘bout to be sittin’ on some fire soon. Stay posted, this is just the beginning. Zuppler signin' out.

hice trasplante a mi oasis, ahora se encuentran en maceta de 7 litros definitiva, agrege en su abono azucares, dentro de unos dias hare cambio fotoperiodico

A Mandarim está muito linda e perfumada, acho que mais umas 3 semanas deve estar pronta, mas vamos esperar os tricomas estarem num ponto mais âmbar. Ainda falta um tempinho .

This grow was a bit stretched, took longer to finish then the previous grow. Buds are dense, lots of fluff from below canopy and no real huge colas. Was a decent harvest at a gram per watt, but I want to get more!!!

Edit soon
