Start of week 2 commences 🌱💚 Few days late updating last week but not much change allthough all testers are on the hunt for light and standing tall 🌱 I have opted too start them with aptus startbooster and regulator and may continue too use the full aptus line but not yet still 100% I will decide on the start of proper vegetation on monday, I may stick with shogun as I'm quite confident & keep my other diary which I currently have humboldts ice cream cake & blacktunaco toronjaz all on aptus range as my learning journey with aptus too begin 👌 Appolagies minimum images as I had not accessed them untill 2 days later... Many photos and videos pending monday start of veg 😍 I will say they are looking eager stay tuned too see 😎👊💚

Hey guys :-) The lady has developed very nicely this week 👍. Since there will be space in the flowering tent for the next 10 days and it will then be switched over, I will no longer use any training. I'm looking forward to when the bloom starts :-) Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.thegratefulseeds.com/shop/feminized-seeds/limited-edition/blue-javaz/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Adding this awhile after the fact... but me setup, bed is filled with small logs, sticks, leaves, hay, green grass, alfalfa, then redbud living soil on top 5lbs of worms added as well. Organic feeding, mainly lactic and baccilus, Kashi, knf inputs, fish shit, orca, king crab

Very nice grow all at all,first time that i have a strain turned out so purple in volor,very interesting!

Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

Veg explosion 💥 still getting bigger

More haircuts this week! I am very aggressively trying to keep up with the canopy growth. I'm continuing to remove the small branches underneath the canopy - more or less stripping the undergrowth, while defoliating around the growth sites that have made it to the canopy surface. I'm unsure of how much more growth to wait for before I send her into flower. Maybe next week? Who knows! Not me! Hah! Happily accepting any advice from any experienced main-liners out there! 😉 She's been super thirsty - I have to add a gallon every few days to keep up! I also started adding some p31 Microbes to the reservoir to see what I can see. 😎

Zamnesia's Permanent Marker is a flagship product from our trusted breeder; everyone loves it, and I know exactly why it's fantastic. It's often sold out, so let's regrow it after the previous summer run. I want to see how it does in winter. Techniques chosen: The plant started out very well, growing beautifully until the fifth internode, when a pruning was performed. Then, in a very short time, a second pruning was performed, and the third on the day of the photos. Incredibly quick in terms of reaction time to topping, it's very suitable for this technique because the buds regrow very quickly and it's time for the next pruning. Unfortunately, we're still in a 6.5-liter pot, and it's very sad, but due to space constraints, we'll be moving to a 20-liter big pot very soon. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get off to a smoother and more reliable start without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is more than enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the early stages of the vegetative phase, but we're well-equipped with fertilizers and additives. We added: - Power Roots 1 ml/l - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Alga Grow 3 ml/l (we lower the nitrogen during topping; overfeeding is more likely) Once a week as a foliar spray: Vita Race 5 ml/l Choose your preferred style and calculate the results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is still at its lowest setting. Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop Our permanent marker is in excellent condition. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html Z - Here's a great opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning strain: Permanent Marker was crowned Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year thanks to its intense aromas, high THC levels, and vibrant body. Originally bred by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern flagship cultivar, so you can conveniently grow it at home, indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker adapts perfectly to any environment! Permanent Marker is a pleasure to grow, just like any other strain created by JBeezy. While perfect for growing in a grow tent or room, this strain also excels outdoors thanks to its balanced genetic mix of 70% indica and 30% sativa. Within a few weeks of germination, plants develop a robust structure, characterized by bushy canopies and sturdy stems with closely spaced internodes, typical of its indica heritage. Indoors, Permanent Marker can reach heights of 160 cm and complete its flowering cycle in just 8-9 weeks, offering yields of up to 550 g/m². Outdoors, however, these plants can grow up to 180 cm, offering impressive harvests of up to 750 g/plant by the end of September. You know it, but I recommend it—you'll find so many wonderful things here, essentially "all the best nature has to offer."

End of Week 10 (Third week of flower) The ladies are frosting up slightly and there are trichomes developing on the fan leaves, this can only mean that they are happy, the genetics are fire and that we are in for a treat! The main top-sites are swelling up by the day. Trying to keep the training to a bare minimum and ONLY removing fan leaves that are blocking bud sites. The lower part of the canopy is denser than I would have liked but I do not want to stress the plants too much by removing it at all. I will now try to keep a cooler average temperature in the following couple of weeks to promote healthy flower development and hopefully bring out some beautiful colours - and also keep the relative humidity lower to ensure that the plants aren't susceptible to mould and mildew. Pest Report: None

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids

Day 29 massive leave cutting in the morning... but the queens seems to be ok 😃🙏👌👍the Z-Up strain has 5cm more then the others

D-70 : At this stage, I'm a bit.... surprised that the Desfrans are not taller thant they are. The smallest one is 35cm wich is really small for a 100% sativa strain. The tallest one is about 56cm, wich is also quiet small I think. If I compare with some other diaries, the tallest one could be in the target if we take into account that I trained them a lot during their first weeks. But the small one is almost the half she should be... There's no sign of deficency, none ! I have 420w @ 50 cm from the top, so it's not because of the light. The container is a 20L smartpot. I simply do not understand. Is it juste because of that phenotype ? Will she grow during the next 7-9 weeks untill she'll recover her late ? I Modified a bit the position of the light so the Lumatek 100w FullSpectrum on the side of the box is really pointed to the "slow" girls. We'll see if it change anything but I really doubt about it... The only lead I have is : Desfran loves HEAT and Light. The 2 smallest are on the coldest side of the box, even if it's not cold at all. But it is the side near the window...

I'm lowering her nutes slowly and picking up thus past week. I'm down to 200 -300 ppm going in and I still got over 1000 ppm runoff. I'm going to just give her PhD water and get the runoff to 400. Only 1 leaf faded 2 or 3 weeks ago but nothing else major. The leafs are looking like they are trying to fade but nothing noticeable and most are still green. Her tricomes are less clear now but it has seemed like this will be a reg photo. Could be what I did on my end for it to be almost week 9 or 10. I want the leafs to fade more before I pull and see some amber tricomes. We did chop a branch and let it dry in the tent above the light. Someone, not me was anxious to try lol. It dried in 3 or 4 days lol. will say it was not harse one bit. Smoke was white. I felt a little something but nothing to be like whoa. I felt it for like 5 mins in my head. The smell was amazing. Not as potent because of thr way it was dried. It broke down nice. The smell stood out more when I broke it down. I broke it down with my hands. I did a dry hit and taste nice and hit of sweetness. I rolled a wrap and smoked that first. I put the rest in my vape and had the same outcome. It was very dense. Didn't take pix of weigh it sorry. Forgot to add we cut a small piece off as in the pixels. We smoked the big nut and thr small ones in the vape. Nice clean hit. That makes me question the flushing aspect but this is my first grow so will see when I do a proper dry. I can't wait to cut these bad girls. i need a break 😩. I started lowering the feed last week slowly but found out my runoff is not really changing. 🙃 It had been hard to keep the humidity down when lights are off. I have a big dehumidifier on my ac but it doesn't work like I want, it likes to shut off constantly and the ac only works keeping it down but if it's to cold the humidity goes up. If it get to cold in the lung room the ac blows out humid air and that goes straight into the tent. Also where I live one day the humidity could be over 90% and that night or next day be in the 30%. And it summer it's like low 20 or 30s and rises at night. Our nights usually cool down to the 60s in the summer. So a little worried about drying. I was thinking of getting a small portable dehumidifier inside the tent. Other than that she's looking like she's almost ready.

This week was their last of bulking. I have to harvest them in two weeks because I'll be away from home for a while. I think it'll give them enough time to finish anyway, pistils are turning brown and by lowering nitrogen and using crop steering I think they'll be ready soon! #3 is really really sweet, almost like Z. #2 smells like burnt plastic and #1 a bit chemical and sweet

Day84: wedding glue is ripening and the buds are super heavy and dense. One more watering and I think is going to be ready. Gorilla z is swelling but needs more time to fully ripe, maybe 2 weeks are going to be enough. I’m only watering now, no nutes and let’s see how she develops Day87: really happy with how they are turning out

June 21: first day of summer and Tropicana Cookies FF is doing fine. Foliar spray in the morning of Extreme Blend, and potassium silicate to toughen the stems. Using Dr Bronner’s Peppermint soap as a wetting agent. Started a lazy compost tea this afternoon. Third tea so far this year. June 24: almost ready for the second round of topping. Likely tomorrow. June 25: video show second round of topping to make the manifold.

End of wk3, getting frosty
