Disclaimer: if you want to have a big flash like a big trip focus on the trichomes, really crazy colors. I still have to recover from the beauty of the Purple Urkle harvested last week that must amaze me again: even this time we are embarrassed by the beauty of the colors of this plant, this time it is a plant with shades of purple that if you go to see then in micro are fantastic very light trichomes on lilac and all shades of purple. We have nice big buds this time, of that type with a large calyx but really beautiful and elegant. ** Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques (come back during the week to see). Today we talk about the harvest of the phenotype with shades of purple. Technique used // In this case we did topping repeatedly x16 and cleaned the sparse branches. Better with the techniques or normal? This time we have two very different phenotypes, one plant with medium internodal distance for beauty and color better than the other, this one beautiful flowers and beautiful quantity. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 10. The plant has resinated very well on all sides, it is super mature, very mature pistils, mature trichomes, the flowers are very purple and of a very good general quality. There is also a fair quantity this time. We washed the flowers according to the procedure suggested by zamnesia. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going to flush was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to flush and we are very very well discolored, I predict a very tasty flower, grown organic and flushed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Bro if you are stubborn use additives listen every now and then....and then come and tell me. The fertilizers instead are found in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. Purple dl CALI flavour ... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11168-zamnesia-seeds-purple-urkle.html Zamnesia Description // A direct descendant of a Mendocino Purps phenotype, Purple Urkle is a high-performance cultivar from Zamnesia Seeds. This feminized, indica-dominant strain is sure to win over any cannabis grower. With a THC content of 20%, Purple Urkle has a lot to offer from seed to harvest and beyond. Suitable for growing indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, Purple Urkle is a very resilient strain. Growers will be impressed by how easy this cultivar is to manage. Purple Urkle can reach 120cm indoors and 160cm outdoors, but if you want more control over the height, LST can be used. Purple Urkle has fantastic flavours and aromas that intensify during the flowering phase. Regardless of the method of consumption, Purple Urkle offers pungent and fruity flavors that lean toward notes of grapes, berries and plums. The effects of this strain are soothing and relaxing, with uplifting sensations that make the experience suitable for any occasion, both social and solitary. Music and frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432 Hz frequencies created specifically for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at —— www.zamnesia.com

The one plant that has always been under the cobbs is a couple of weeks ahead. They are all fattening up and the smell is great. Humidity in the tent has dropped, this is due to the outside weather changing and running a 6" fan 24/7. I may start the flush on the one plant, will decide in a few days. Cheers

Hi Growmies , I hope your all mean and green in the right places. Here we are at week 10 flowering for this #Exoticseeds strain . It has been a steady process so far and the doner plant #1 has kept the dankruptcy at bay just right. the early harvested tip buds are very active and hit the spot for sure. They do need a proper dry and cure for the main crop but the quick drying has not done to much injustice to the overall finish. buds are nice and tight and crumble nicely with a tackiness so not all lost to rhe quick dry.lol The rest of the #1 lady has been steadily taking advantage of the light to the lower and much smaller buds and they have made a great effort to swell and become the mains. another week and they will be done for sure with the lower pistils being ripened. The other ladies are looking ready to burst open with a new flush of pistils any day . I think at least another 10 days for them and a final feed of the Dragon force before just using a basic weak feed for the final week. There is definitely 2 different phenotypes among these girls with the #5 being the odd girl in the pack. She is a beautiful colour with a dark purple to her leaves. Her buds smell like juicy fruit gum so strongly too. I am looking forward to her final finish so much now. The other girls have a more diesel/fuel smell to them with a lemonene sweetness to them too and are very tacky to touch too now , all good signs. I want.to push them to their very final ripening before harvest so I can give them the best chance to increase their overall yields. I did very little to their growth patterns beside a little lst and topping initially so they would benefit from more light access to lower buds and I did not steip much leaf put either. A very lazy grow for me this run .lol. Until next time , be well

Going for the final countdown but meanwhile Albinism has appeared in some flowers! I think it must be the panel it was very close to them although it is a bit late now the lights have been distanced a bit more from the canopies. Starting Week 7 where i will slowly start reducing the dosages from the nutrients up to the final week 8 where they will be flushed with pure water until harvest

start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light. a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ? weird. it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing. the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol

🌱 Runtz - Week 1 Update 🌱 The journey has officially begun, and I’m thrilled to report that everything is off to a smooth start! The seeds germinated quickly and showed no issues breaking through the soil. Healthy and vigorous growth is already visible, which is always an encouraging sign. The seedlings are now standing strong, with their first leaves fully open and soaking up the light. It’s exciting to see this strain already showing its potential! Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next week. Wishing all the growers in this competition continued success with their own grows! Let’s keep pushing 🙌

I've fed twice at full strength and I'm nothing growth every day. At about day 21bof flower, I will do another and last defoliation of these girls.

Day 64 🌤️🌥️☁️☁️ 11-19 degrees and the humidity is around 65%. I started into the tenth week with an intense check of the main buds. Some of the trichomes are milky but the most are still clear. Maybe I‘m wrong. Some days ago I could spot some amber trichomes but the flowers expanded and it‘s not possible to find anymore amber ones. Watered 500ml pure rainwater. Day 65 🌤️☁️🌥️☁️ Today Tropicana needs a rest. She just want to sit and do nothing except waiting for sunshine warming her heart. In the evening she asked for water, potting soil lost enough weight. 600ml with 60ml light fermented flower and herb tee. ~100 ml drainage with PH 6,2. In the main flower it was possible to find a small amount of amber trichomes. Day 66 🌤️⛅️🌤️🌤️ 10-21 degrees, humidity 45-65%. This morning I understood, that Tropicana was not thirsty yesterday, she need to breath oxygen with her roots to feel happy. The beautiful smell is way not so intense since last night. I missed the strong smell when I opened the door to our balcony in the early morning. So no watering yesterday would be better. And my banana peel tee is not free of nitrogen, same with the herb and flower tee. Less is more will be written in my diary in the next days (weeks). Watching Trichome TV: I see more amber and I see that she needs more time after all this stress which I made for her. She told me that she is not only sick of water, she told me, that she hate to be moved all the time, too. Every move from A to B she would loose tiny roots and this would stress her a lot. When I checked the moisture I spotted too many of this root fly castings. Their mamas and papas had their orgie about a week ago and now they are eating the mulch layer roots as if there will be no morning. This is not Tropicanas day. But the sun is shining and tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully with a nose full of this tasty fruity and woody citrus smell. Day 67 🌧️☁️☁️☁️ 13-19 degrees, humidity 42-80%. This morning the smell was more intensive like yesterday but still not like before. The leafs show the first signs of fading and I‘m very nervous. This night will fall a lot of rain for several hours. But a part of our balcony is canopied, so Tropicana will be a little bit protected by me this night. I don‘t want to make another mistake, so I use this possibility. Anyway the plants are always wet after a strong rain, it‘s just a little canopy, but not soaked with water. Day 68 🌧️☁️⛅️🌤️ 15-21 degrees and the humidity is 74-85%. Tropicana feels better. The smell this morning was much more intensive then the days before. Day 69 ⛅️🌤️🌥️☁️ 15-22 degrees, humidity 46-89%. Tropicanas flowers are swelling and while she is maturing her smell is getting more intense and complex. Right now mandarin and an earthy woody smell, sometimes even a bit sour like a mixture of pineapple and lime juice. It‘s possible to find new colors in the flowers. There’s purple and pink, orange and ocher brown appeared. Tropicanas main flower looks like the harvest time is near, but the trichomes are still clear and just started to get milky. Anyway she is incredible fast, especially if to remember the extrem conditions with minimal temperature around ten degrees in the early mornings. Day 70 🌧️☁️☁️🌧️ 17-23 degrees, humidity 63-94%. In the next days we will have humid thunderstorm weather. There is even a warning for huge hailstones for tomorrow. So there is a risk of damage and mold because of high humidity. I will have an eye on this. Tropicana looks healthy, so I‘m not worrying too much anymore.

D29. We're now officially in flower! I can see the beginnings of tiny (purple?) hedgehogs. I adjusted LST wires, tucked some leaves, and for the first time, filled the bottom reservoir since the plant should be mature enough to start drinking from it. (7 liters @ pH 6.2.) ------------------------------ D31. The LST is progressing nicely, and she is slowly getting more expansive. Even the branch from the first node, which I thought was pointless, is doing great, and it looks like it will produce a nice top eventually. I have her one liter of SST @ pH 6.8 with fulvic and humic acid mixed in. DLI bumped up to 42. ------------------------------ D35. We're at the end of the first week of flower, and she is rocking along nicely in the tent. Adjusting LST wires and tucking leaves every day. DLI bumped up to 45. ------------------------------

-Esta semana simplemente las he regado un par de veces con un litro y medio cada una. -A una de las GG ya estoy haciéndole el flush final -Empiezan a enfermarse las hojas. Puede ser falta de calcio, potasio, magnesio...no lo se. Les he echado uns buena dosis de potasio y las que están más afectadas les he echado sgua limpia y un poco de potasio. -una de las GG le falta poco para cortar. El resto les quedará poco menos de un mes

Bueno pues hoy lunes 17/04/23 empezamos la 7ª semana de floración y son en total 86 días desde que empezamos a germinar todo esto. Las plantas no paran de pedir mas y mas comida, vamos por 2.0 de ec y pienso subirles mas... quizás llegamos a 2.4 ¡veremos! Están siendo nutridas con la gama completa de Boom Nutrients y voy aumentar la dosis de Floración BOOM, de Candy BOOM y de BIG BOOM. PIENSO EXPLOTAR TODO ESTO JAJAJA También hay 3 automáticas de CBD que se llaman Purple Wookiee CBD como ya sabéis, pero esta semana no las he fotografiado, en la próxima os las muestro. Y bueno, en 2-3 semanas mas empezamos a lavar raíces y a cosechar en breves!!

Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!
