Here we are with another exciting new product from Zamnesia, Gush Mintz. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. In this diary we find worked with slightly different techniques this time for a change, we did two toppings in the center and left something under worked with LST, let's see what happens. Slow down the use of nitrogen during this technique, you may not need everything that is recommended by the manufacturers. So, if the leaves become too dark or, worse, the tips of the leaves arch downwards and the leaf becomes "crunchy", it is time to lighten or stop the base fertilizer. She is a bit dark and I slowed down by giving only the additives. Comparison is the salt of the experience, so the plant in the other diary will be treated very differently, go and see it to compare. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We start bloom time now fertilize with: 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 4 ml/l Alga Bloom We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race foliar fertilizer once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent RQS mycorrhizae flowing in the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Try this strain, it's a top strain of the last few years very high thc level ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11234-zamnesia-seeds-gush-mintz-automatic.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Gush Mintz Auto is a relaxing hybrid strain that derives from the original Gush Mintz and a high-performance ruderalis specimen. This cross produced a plant with 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. Her parents have given her a range of interesting traits, including mint and candy flavors and a high THC content of 20%. Smoking these buds provides creative vibes, a sense of euphoria and a pleasant sensation from head to toe. In addition to its enticing flavors and powerful effects, Gush Mintz Auto produces large yields of compact buds in just 9–10 weeks from germination. Gush Mintz Auto is extremely easy to grow, with plants reaching an average height of 70cm indoors and 120cm outdoors, making her ideal for discreet grows or limited spaces both indoors and outdoors. This strain is well suited to LST (Low Stress Training) and performs best in a ScrOG setup (a technique that optimizes light exposure to maximize yields). Punching aromas and deeply relaxing effects As she grows, Gush Mintz Auto's aroma intensifies, releasing sweet and minty notes. This refreshing flavor profile really comes into its own when smoked, offering an inviting combination of minty freshness and sweetness. The effects are deeply relaxing, enveloping the body in a pleasant well-being without being too sedative. Gush Mintz Auto is perfect for those seeking creative inspiration, making writing, painting or music-making sessions smoother and more inspiring. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. -- // www.zamnesia.com

So. Couple things happend and i choped them a bit earlier than colours would say or i would want, but ; I touched one bud , squeezed it ;))) and after 3 days it was budrot, so i panicked ( so much , that even forgot to take pictures) and turned off lights for 3 days . Second thing my last photo will show - i decided to reveg best plants and didnt want to flush out them totaly ... First two smalest plant produced : Leafy no bottom trim - 66 grams, but they where mostly airy Two round defoliated weakest one - 60 g of lovely small nugs . Tasted both same, maybe leafie one had more smell at begining... Both on cure still... Now always leaf strip before flower, around week 3 and 6 of flower and bottom strip. Hated that time while i was playing with trim on those 1/5 of popcorn bud sometimes ;))) P.s. while choping forgot to take photos one of the niciest girls ;)

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!

This Wedding Cheesecake is growing very strong! She has a few double stems! This makes it look like she's topped herself on a couple of her branches. She's getting watered with about 1/2 of a gallon of de-chlorinated tap water.

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell which plants are more sensitive than others.

This Mystery seed grow #1 is very nearly finished! She will be taken down once I'm satisfied with the ratio of trichomes. I'm leaving this one a bit longer than I usually would, just to see the difference in effects of a later harvest. I do need the space in the tent, so I'm hoping it won't take too much longer. The leaves are losing all of their colour, and this is the first time I've had any "fade". I've had a lot of issues with what I believe is an excess of phosphorus. I had Phosphorus excess in this grow before, and I think that's what's happened again. I believe the Excess of Phosphorus has prevented the plant from being able to uptake Calcium, Magnesium and others. I have learned many lessons again, and plan to avoid these mistakes with my grows presently. 8.5.25: The plant was watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6. This may be the last watering before she's done. I added per litre; ♡ 4ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/2 TSP Sea K(elp) PPM: 715 PH: 6.3. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Thanks for following along with this plant 😊💚✌️🍃

Rough week for the little lady. Started with a pH problem that I think the issue increased by the small pot size lol. Probably an over water issue as well. She does seem to be bouncing back though.

Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, since I almost killed everything in there 😂 The Z&Z is a well balanced 60% - 40% Indica - Sativa dominan strain with a short flowering period. I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant. This is on of the strain that did notice more my mistake, can be clearly seen on the final product. Iinfact, a good part of the flowers, went for bubble hash. I topped them, and then practiced LST training to help them growing wider. Probably If I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have had a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Really looking forward to grow this strain again Indoor, I'am amazed by the terpene profile and the amount of resin they've produced, even under my multiple attempt to screw em!! STRONG GENETIC! I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

End of Week 2 of Flowering Report: This week, the plants continued their rapid stretch, and I've been watering them daily with no runoff. Day 11: I reset the rockwool with 50 liters to thoroughly re-soak the medium and maintain optimal conditions. The light intensity was also increased to 75%, giving the plants more energy as they settle into the flowering stage. R.I.P. The Runtz plant was removed from the tent this week as it was too small and wasn't keeping up with the others. The Oreoz is also lagging behind, and if it doesn’t show better development by next week, it will likely be removed as well. The increased light and regular watering have kept them happy and vigorous as they continue to develop!

F21 Starting week 4 of flowering, the code red is already about 80 cm and the crescendo around 70 cm. Pretty good for a 3-4 week veg from what I've had. The tips on some leafs are a bit burned in the code red but besides that everything going fine, they are drinking like 24 liters every week Can't believe the smell from the code red, it's amazing really, and the terps are forming everywhere, already want to smoke it. It's like a weird strawberry fruity soda of sorts. And the Crescendo isn't very smelly but it seems like will be getting an orange citrus aroma like the one before, not strong in flowering but after curing it gets much better.

8/18 -Both plants just look really healthy and strong. Its funny how much you learn over time. I just looked back to my first grow and boy have I learned. Ive at least tripled the canopy of each plant in comparison to last grow. I really like the FIM method. -Going to increase the water of each feeding by 50 mL. Going to feed today with 600 mL solution and see how the plants respond. Based on past feedings they should respond with only an increase of droop. -Droop scale developed a few weeks ago still holds true today. Its the way I decide if they need a nice watering. -Leaves are looking very healthy. Looks like cream cookies is going to start changing colors soon. Excited 🤩 -Time lapse camera is acting all sorts of wonky. Im hoping the issue corrects itself soon--the time lapses are very informative of growth patterns. 8/20 -Both plants absolutely loving life. Doing really well and looking very healthy. -Every other day watering cycle is working amazingly. -Cream Cookies is really starting to smell wonderful as the trichomes come in. Small amount of orange hairs spotted on some of the canopy buds. -Time lapse camera is not working well--unfortunately 8/22 -Got the time lapse camera working *provisionally* although its still giving me issues. -Cream cookies is really starting to fill out. Most of the branches seem to be "main cola" branches as plant symmetry was broken around week 4. -No visual signs of stress, light burn, nutrient deficiency, of any other issues that might arise. -6.2-6.3 pH has been working wonders, plants really seem to respond well to them. Going to sprout 2 more Cream cookie plants during Week 9. Going to build a plant pot platform that can be raised so the new seedlings are close enough to the light. 8/23 -Some defoliation done on both plants, more-so on Cheese, its realllllllly thicc. Like oh boy so thicc im very excited about Cheese. Im smoking some of last harvests Cheese right now coming off a 2 month cure and OH BOY is it nice. Amps me up even more for harvest in 4 weeks 🤩
