Method 📊📊📊 She trained incredibly well and recovered faster from topping than the NL did to a fim. This grow was a slightly different take on a traditional manifold leaving the top growth tips from each 2nd node (first topping) in place. This gave us 10 main colas as opposed to eight and we also left in a few extra shoots which proved to yield just that little bit extra.😉. If we had the space we would’ve stuck with 8 monster colas. Instead, we tried to squeeze usable bud out of every square inch. Maintenance was a bit of a bitch - had to defo numerous times to keep the light penetration optimal. Which brings us to the grow light - I won’t say it was ineffective cause that’s just not true. But, if this one had gotten much bigger we’d have seen some serious diminishing returns in bud quality. The tops and middles of each 10-12” cola were dense and chunky but the lower buds on the outer branches were like giant fluffy larf pillows. Thankfully there weren’t too many of these and I might’ve been able to solve this issue with some yo-yo’s if I wasn’t so damn lazy and “😜” when work’n on the garden. So, grow light review now that we’re through a few cycles - vipar spectra gets a 6/10 from me. It will grow solid, quality bud but certainly has its limitations. Their manual says it’s 450w should cover a space roughly twice the size of mine. I disagree and actual wattage draw is more like 200w. I’m gonna try to stick to photoperiod SCROGs with it in the future. Only real way to max out it’s effectiveness. Big plus - it’s about perfect for this particular space: 1:. Medium 🎛️🎛️🎛️🎛️ Coco is now the go-to medium in lieu of soil when we grow indoors. I can’t specifically say that the growth time is sped up compared to soil because I’m always growing something different but - she did recover very quickly from her toppings and the drainage is wayyyyy better. The fact that it’s nute neutral allows us to dictate exactly what the plant receives at all times. IMO - more manageable and precise than soil. Include a regular diet of calmag and ur good to grow.: 1: Yield🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 Oh man what a gong show😎. The book on this one says that you’ll end up having to add support for her as bud weight becomes a serious issue in late flower. RQS is absolutely right, I had three smaller colas on the perimeter stretch for the last corner of light and they just got weighed down by the bud and pretty much fell over😂. We like this. Now the numbers - i did the math twice (and while sober just to make sure😉), you don’t wanna do it, it sucked, so you’ll just have to trust me: 1:. Total dried yield for the kush alone: 3.32oz. This crushes the single plant yield for any strain grown in this cabinet to date by well over an 1oz. : 1:😎. Total harvest yield across both plants: 4.99oz. This also crushes the record yield per cycle in the cabinet by a full ounce!: 1:😎👌💪🤩. The stats say an avg. of 500-550g/m2. Based on the rough size of my cabinet the avg. should be 131.25g/0.25m2.... our actual harvest across both strains - 140.6/0.28m2. That’s pretty damn good and spot on with the specs: 1:.😎 Props👊👊👊👊👊 A great many thanks to everyone who stopped in and cared to take some interest in this cycle. There’s simply too many to name drop all of you and we truly appreciate and enjoy the comments, likes, support and feedback. Every cycle is a new adventure and it’s always helpful hearing from the experience of others. At worst, we learned something new and at best, we had the opportunity to pay that knowledge forward. Can’t say enough good things about this community - cheers GD, keep rock’n the kasbah!😎👊.00

Jetzt geht es dem ende zu... eine woche noch dann wird geschnitten :) und genossen Hatte davor noch nie so viel spaß wie bei dem grow... War zwar etwas länger als normal aber hat sich auf jeden fall gelohnt Kush riecht nach kush Diesel riecht sehr fruchtig Und haze riecht ein pheno nach lemon haze der andere eher nach skunk. Durch die Kontrolle des Ph wertes und des spülen mit wasser zeigen sich jetzt auch langsam die Farben des Herbstes ind den Blättern Schade würde sie noch gerne stehen lassen Aber die grapefruit Diesel wirkt überreif und ich will keine Hermies riskieren...

Yoyoyoyoyo party people! It's been week 2 of Flower, the stretch hit HARD! Starting at about 30-ish cm to 43 (with a lot of LST tho) developed an almost nice and even canopy already. Scrog net is always nice, and i highly recommend everyone trying it at least once! So far i only gave Plagron basic nutes and she looks great. I Like the product, contains a lot of product for the price, pH isn't drifting all over. With my light, i need to supply extra calmag, as you can see on the purple branches. I'm ashamed to admit, i've only done 2.5 reservoir changes in 12 weeks 💀 Please do it better. At least every 2 weeks! (or watch week 10💀💀) Already starting to smell something "sus". im excited every day looking into the tent. I hope i can even out the canopy as much as possible and then full on Blast with 40 DLI as much as possible. I adjusted both fans, so i have one below the canopy and one above, hopefully this will improve the wet spots that occur sometimes caused by the high humidity, caused by the high temps) Stats for nerds: DLI 30 inceased to 34 over this week VPD 0,7-0,85 (it was really warm, so i went with a lot of humidity, temps up to 34Celsius and rH 85 kekw Feel loved, take care of yourself, peace !

Day 30: Girls are stretching and starting flower😇 pots are getting dry quick so maybe ill have to up water to 1.2l once a day or even out through out the day🤔 Day 31: Gave about 1.3L feeding to all girls! made sure to hydrate coco all the way and gave some water to watertray so they can suck it up if they are still hungry! i cheked ppm on my water but didnt check runoff yet. ppm was 900 with 0.5 convert. ph around 6. will add pics later or tmrw😎 Day 32: gave girls little lighter feeding, around 3ml/L GH nutes b clmag. I was too lazy to take proper pics with better light so took a vid instead😁 Day 33: i was thinking of pinning the tallest cola to scrog but decided against it. Mainly because these girls are doing very well, and my only consern is light burn. I cant get my light as high as i want to, cos my tent is only 180cm and got filter above my light. I think ill need yo setup next grow so my filter is outside of the tent🤔 thx for all commentors on my growquestion/diary! Made my day to hear my babies are doing well without any bigger problems😁💚 Edit: did some LST on bigger colas to avoid lightburn since these girls are strecthing almost 5cm a day😁 hopefully they will keep the same energy on developing buds😉 I checked ppm and pH from runoff; #1 ppm 750 ph 6.6 #2 ppm 750 ph 6.5 #3 ph 6.4 ppm 750 (all ppm converts were made on 0.5 rate) Gonna give low ph watering next day Day 34: Good morning growers😎 this morning i gave my girls quite an heavy feed, 6ml calmag, micro, bloom and 3 ml gro into 5 or so litres. pH around 5.7 and ppm 1100 with 0.5. Pics are coming later afternoon with some runoff numbers😎 stay lifted💚

Hey hey growmies! I've fallen ill with a respiratory bug, as a result my plants and the diaries have suffered somewhat. at the end of week 4 I left this diary with a super droopy plant, now, this little runtz lady has not only bounced back, but is thriving. I am leaving on a trip to New York in 2 and a half weeks, which leaves this lady in an awkward spot, I cannot flip her to flower and she's growing fiercely, I can obviously also not bring her from Belgium to the United States of America (Even though New York is a legal state :P) because Ganja is the devil in the eyes of our governments, as we all know. So she will continue to veg untill I get back the 25th of november, a whole ass month from now. This Runtz will be anything but a runt, but she has shown me some very strong genetic traits already, she takes a fucking beating this strain. So if her smoke is decent, and her flowers pretty, I'm keeping her around. Its always nice if a plant is tough enough to roll with the punches, and look at her, she's rolling. So thats the plan! Veg her out into a monster, take lots of cuttings and clean up her canopy. Hope we have mommy material, if not, I'm still going to try and grow a cutting from her, its a skill I need to build for when I do find a mom. That's it for now Growmies, Thanks for checking out my diary. Would you like to grow Runtz by Zamnesia yourself? Be sure to use the Growdiaries discount code "GROWITGD" on their website for 10% off. 😉 this is a sister diary to my Zamnesia Wedding Cake Automatic grow over here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/121785-grow-journal-by-belgianbaboon

Buds are really fattening up. Now comes the difficult part, deciding when to start the flush and then when to harvest. With likely warming days, quite likely an early harvest is on the cards so I can avoid curing in a hot tin shed. Closely monitoring the extended forecast to hopefully harvest at the perfect time as all will be wasted if curing in a 30c tent. At the moment due to a changing forecast its possible I will only achieve a 5 day flush, and have 3 days to cure in mild temps. Unfortunately from then it looks.like things seriously heat up, if extended curing is required then likely I'll bring in side the house in mason jars during the heat of the day then cure further on the drying rack in my tin shed till during the cooler evenings until ready. No. I know this isn't ideal but I've done this previously and always ended up with good.buds just way more effort that's for sure. This being a secret grow has additional challenges that's for sure. My wife, and 2 teenage kids have no idea what goes on in this shed as to their knowledge only garden tools are stored here, if anyone in my house did gardening apart from me then this grow would be impossible that's for sure

Hey think today is the 37th day the weather is still bad, way too much rain hardly any sun. Today is really the exception and next week it should continue with the rainy weather.... Lamp is gone for 5 days, is too stressful for me. is also only diy waterproof so rather not suitable for outside... it stands again and also slowly gets color...in any case, it smells everything by far..rarely such a strong and verry good smell! Well done guys from fastbuds...today only water and a little ocean side compost, azomite, feather meal top dress

So this plant grew during winter, i cant heat the room where the tent is so the only warmth was from my LEDs and dehumidifier, during summertime this strain finishes in around 10 weeks from seed, if u like strong smoke you should try her out

Hey yall! Super stoked to show yall some beneficial nematodes in my soil. Lots of other beneficials in there, the nematodes are the most fun to me! Love to show yall what Korean Natural Farming and JADAM can do. This is all Natural, all organic, all homemade inputs. I just want to prove to you all, the entire community, and the entire cannabis industry that you don't need to drop money on your inputs. You can source everything yourself! Remember, Bottles are for Babies! 🍼 👶 You don't need to buy into anything, you don't need to invest in anything, but YOURSELF! You are the most valuable tool, you are the most dangerous thing on this Earth 🌎 I want to be a resource to everyone and anyone who is willing to be open minded and learn. It doesn't matter your background, where you live, what color you are, or what is in your past. Your future and the future of this Earth is in your (our) hands. Togetherness over oneness Anyways, weekly compost tea applications and quality compost gets you gold! Also hand crafted inputs with love makes a huge difference. Use what you have near you, if you are wildcrafting inputs, be sure to not take from nature without giving back. Recycle, use less chemicals, pour your extra compost tea in your community. We can stop this wild climate change, but we can seriously slow it down, almost completely if we all do our part. I hope these posts inspire you to go down that rabbit hole 🐇 🐰 and get your hands dirty. Use and reuse the same soil, use larger pots or go in a living bed if possible. Have fun and learn something each day, pass on love ❤️ 😍 learn from your mistakes, that is what makes us stronger. No matter the mistake in your garden, or in life, we can always learn something new about life and ourselves. You are not alone on this journey, I got your back, and I truly believe in you. Peace and blessings to all! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗

This is the only picture I have of week 4 but all the girls are looking good I'm starting to see signs of pre-flower I started to low stress train them during week 3 I'm pretty much doing nothing but watering the soil is full of the nutrients she need the light is that a good distance I currently have them at 500 par
