Day 42-49 (Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots. I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably. (Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet. (Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w. I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress. I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir. (Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping. For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted. (Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st. BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too. Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later. Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

-Week 5 of veg They react verry well on the topping. Next watering I will increase the nutrition a little bit. The smaller plants are caching up with the others. They are looking healthy and green, (on the photo they appear a little lighter bc of the light) Can't wait for flower time.

Part 1 of a video project I give myself for this run. And wow ,I'm absolutely loving this grow. The girls are preforming brilliantly with the training, although the Forbidden Runtz excelled with LST more so then the StrawNana, she is more bushy and compact, which made it quite tight in the 2x2 grow tent, but not overcrowded. I'm just a grower, who just loves growing. My passion was vegetable gardening, but living arrangements are different now and can no longer have a garden..... but it has opened up the possibility of indoor cannabis growing which wasn't a option for me before. My medium is a make up of reamended soil from my last run, to make my 25% supersoil base, 65% complete organic compost and topped off with 10% light seedling soil. I also fed a compost extraction once a week from WEEK 5 and they always responded brilliantly. I used the chop and drop technique when I defoliated which my worms seem to love and also used the compost feed for my compost extraction as a mulch layer every week after the feed, which covered the defoliated leaves. Thank you very much for dropping by, I hope you enjoy my videos. Please give a like if you did and I'll return the favor 🙏 Part 2 to follow shortly. Stay blessed Growmies 🌱Mr.PersonalGrow 🌱✌️

Week 8 of flowering, 18 overall. Harvest time is coming soon, most trichomes are cloudy. Smell is potent at touch buy doesn't go very far, strangely despite having beautiful trichomes it doesn't fill the tent with smell.

🌱 Week 3 | Passion Fruitz | Small but Full of Potential Not every plant develops at exactly the same pace, and that’s one of the most enjoyable aspects of growing from seed. This Passion Fruitz may be a few days behind some of her neighbours, but she continues to develop steadily while displaying all the characteristics of a healthy young plant. Rather than trying to force her to catch up, the goal is simply to provide stable conditions and allow her genetics to dictate the pace. Every phenotype has its own rhythm, and learning to respect that natural variation is part of becoming a better grower. The environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, giving every plant the same opportunity to thrive. Daytime temperatures averaged 27°C, with nighttime temperatures around 25°C. Relative humidity stayed close to 55%, while the root zone remained at 21°C and the nutrient solution at 20°C. Nutrient pH was maintained at 6.0, EC increased slightly to 1.3, atmospheric CO₂ averaged approximately 666 ppm, and lighting continued under the 12/12 From Seed schedule with approximately 600–700 PPFD at canopy level. This week’s feeding remained focused on establishing a strong root system while encouraging healthy vegetative development: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The response has been exactly what we hoped for. Foliage is a rich healthy green, the stem continues to strengthen, and the newest growth is emerging cleanly without any visible nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. Although this phenotype is slightly smaller than some of the others, its structure is exceptionally promising. The internodes remain very close together, creating a compact architecture that should provide an excellent foundation once flowering begins. Rather than investing energy into vertical stretch, the plant appears to be concentrating on building a sturdy stem and a balanced framework capable of supporting future flower production. One lesson I’ve learned over the years is that early size doesn’t always predict final performance. Some plants spend their first few weeks quietly establishing an extensive root system before suddenly accelerating once they’re comfortable in their environment. Patience often rewards the grower far more than unnecessary intervention. For now, the plan remains simple: maintain consistency, avoid overreacting to minor differences between phenotypes, and allow Passion Fruitz to continue developing at her own natural pace. Healthy plants don’t all grow at the same speed, but they almost always reward stable conditions and patience. She may be the smallest member of the room today, but she’s showing every sign of becoming a strong, compact and resilient plant in the weeks ahead. As always, a huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, GrowDiaries, and everyone following this Project Blue adventure. Mr. Baggy stopped by for his routine inspection and gave this little lady his official seal of approval. Sometimes the quiet ones have the biggest stories still waiting to be told. Growers Love 🌱🛍️

Day 15: Watermelon Zkittlez is looking strong. A little discolored but it is early growth and should work itself out. Kind of resembles watermelon rind to me which is quite the coincidence I think. First big feed: 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAgic, 1ml RapidStart, 1ml Floralicious Plus and 2.5ml Armor Si. RO water PH 6.0 Temp: 75º RH: 63% PPFD: 450 VPD: .53 kPa Day 16: She's looking about the same with some new leaf growth. I can't tell if she just has funky pigment in her leaves or if there is a deficiency going on. Her leaves look just like watermelon rind! Kind of weird but also maybe genetics. Will leave for now with no adjustments to nutes and see if new growth changes. No water no feed. Temp: 76º RH: 61% PPFD: 475 AVG VPD: .46 kPa Day 17: Happy, healthy, let grow! Applied first LST bend this morning. Should take nicely. Will feed tomorrow. Temp 77º RH: 55 % PPFD: 500 AVG VPD: .6kPa Day 18: Watermelon Zkittlez looks really funky. Something is going on with her but I'm not sure what exactly. There is clear pigmentation issues but again, why? Same nutes as all the other girls who all seem to be thriving. Can't figure it out unless it's genetic. Moved up and turned up the lights. Fed 250ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69º. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 575 VPD: .44 kPa Day 19: Looking good. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 20: Still looking good. New growth. Fed another 250ml RO water with 1ml RapidStart PH: 5.7 Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 21: End of Veg Week 3! Looking strong and healthy so far despite the extremely odd leaf colors. Close inspection shows some sort of deficiency or disease but all other ladies are receiving the same nutes in the same soil and grow conditions. All are very healthy. Has to be a genetic flaw in the bean. Will grow it out to see if it persists or corrects. Almost feeding/watering daily at this point, will up the solution volume and see if it will last a day or two longer. Fed 350ml-400ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69º. Tent Temp: 77º RH: 60% PPFD: 500-550 AVG VPD: .44 kPa

Decent grow. A lil disappointed that I fucked the left most plant. It didn’t go completely to waste, gave it to a friend who wants to make hash from it. The other buds were quite nice though. Like I said, decent for the price.

Ok

Next week floweing

Day 1 drying: Really nice strain! Easy to grow, medium dosage of nutrients. Smells amazing, I’m really curious how they will end up after the drying. Let’s see in some days. Drying day 7: finished and damn the terps are amazing! Smells and taste amazing. It reminds me of amnesia but in a mix with mimosa. Super special. I do really recommend trying this one out. But I would recommend using living soil over coco!

🌱 Woche - Week 8 Review (Umtopfen in den Garten)(Repotting in the garden) 📈 Wachstum: Diese Woche der große Umzug – die Pflanze wurde in den Garten verpflanzt 🌱➡️🏡. Sie hat dort mehr Platz für die Wurzeln. Wächst etwas schräg, wirkt aber stabil und vital 💪. 💡 Licht & Energie: Volle Sonne wird sehr gut angenommen ☀️, keinerlei Stress sichtbar. 🌿 Blattgesundheit: Nach kurzer Eingewöhnung zeigt sie wieder volle Kraft. 💧 Wasser & Nährstoffe: Direkt nach dem Umpflanzen mehr Wasser benötigt, jetzt wieder im Gleichgewicht. 🔄 Entwicklung: Noch volle Wachstumsphase, jetzt mit mehr Raum zur Entfaltung. ℹ️ Hinweis: Normalerweise ist eine Gorilla Zkittlez Auto nach etwa 75 Tagen fertig. Bei mir dauert es wohl länger – aber das ist völlig okay, da es meine allererste Pflanze überhaupt ist 🌱. Keine Growbox, kein Indoor, einfach draußen – mein erstes richtiges Grow-Erlebnis. ✅ Fazit: Erfolgreich im Garten angekommen, bereit für die nächste Phase 🚀. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📏 Growth: Big step this week – transplanted into the garden 🌱➡️🏡. More space for the roots now. Growing a bit tilted, but still strong and healthy 💪. 💡 Light & Energy: Full sun is well received ☀️, no stress signs. 🌿 Leaf Health: After a short adjustment, vitality came back. 💧 Water & Nutrients: Needed extra water right after transplant, now balanced again. 🔄 Development: Still in full vegetative growth, with more space to expand. ℹ️ Note: Normally a Gorilla Zkittlez Auto finishes in about 75 days. For me, it will probably take longer – but that’s fine, since this is my very first plant ever 🌱. No grow box, no indoor, just outside – my first real grow experience. ✅ Overall: Successfully settled in the garden, ready for the next stage 🚀.

These are being feed flora nova bottle nutes

I think that both of my plants are almost ready for harvest. I don't have a USB microscope so I can't check thoroughly. Luckily I have a few lenses of a microscope and a very good phone camera. I gave them no nutes with the watering because I did the same with the other plant. The following update might just be the harvest 👀, the trichomes are looking good.

She's starting to get in the groove of concentrating solely on producing buds =) .. i'm looking forward to this one.. Divine seeds auto Kabul was amazing so I am hoping for big things with this girl.. hope everyone is doing well. Good luck to all on the competition.God bless and happy growing ✌️

Die Umstellung auf 12/12 ist passiert, jetzt beginnt der Stretch und dann die Blüte. Die nächsten zwei Wochen wird nichts geschnitten, nur die höchsten Tops werden auf eine höhe gebracht. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem aktuellen Stand! :)

This new week started better as with some flushes I brought the runoff back to 6.5/7, the plant seems to be growing well

The Plants are healthy

Growing good so far .. she gets sad very easily other than that she’s great the smell I love ❤️ she smells like sweet lemon tea amazing
