Day 1 — Monday 9/15/25. Installed a timer on a 12/12 cycle finally taking this girl out of 24 hours light schedule . Because it’s day1 of flower I also gave her a full strength feed of flower nutrients which includes my new organic foop, stash, & incredible bulk . That’s 95ml per gallon of water plus 1/2 tsp of stash and 1/4 tsp of incredible bulk . She looks hungry hopefully this doesn’t overdo her . I’m thinking she still needs some “grow” nutes for these first 2 weeks atleast but I’m going to see how she responds to this strictly flower feed to make sure I haven’t overdone it . I’ve moved the clones out the tent & cleaned out the crud in the humidifier since I stopped using purified water it gets build up . That branch I tried taking back together has died ! Can’t save em all I only hate it bc it’s from the ONLY branch that regrew from that one half of my plant it’s near dead state . This 5x5 plant is only 1/2 of a plant trained to cover my tent’s entirety meaning if I had the other half I’d have a 5x10 plant . I’m I dunno how long this girls is supposed to flower for . . 8 weeks ? 10 weeks ? 12 weeks ? I’ll need to find that out to adjust my feeding and light intensity accordingly . It’s been FUN but now it’s time to get to the FUNNEST part ! The Bud! Day2 flower 9/16/25 completed our HEAVY DEFOLIATION. Got about 93% of it out of there I’d say there’s about 7% more I want to get out of there . These next 3 weeks are the last times I’ll be able to pull leaves before these too many trichomes to not glue your fingers/tools together . Shes look crazy as she always does when I strip her back but her bones are great . I broke another branch today while defoliating and trying to better spread out the canopy for coverage . I’m undecided will I scrap the clone projects as I do not feel like slapping together another make shift setup for lighting purposes and I don’t want to let them get leggy between nodes before I decide what I want to do with them . I may hate this bud and not want to grow out the clones . I may love the bud and be thanking myself I made these clones . I dunno viewers choice ! What do we do with the clones during flower??? Comment below Lights out begins at 6:50pm she stays dark for 12 hours . Humidifiers refilled shes coasting into sweet dreams . Looking online quickly it says she flowers 8-10 weeks so that doesn’t really help me gauge when to stop feeding & when to start flushing so I’ll keep looking for more definite answers . Day #3 flower 9/17 woke up to check in plant and make sure light was on. I found that one of the circulatory fans had fallen knocking down the tent camera! This particular fan is a wall Mount fan not made to be attached to a pole however through sheer tenacity & jerryrigging is there a fan with substantial circulatory capabilities in my tent for a reasonable price! Sooo I jerry- rigged it up again this morning in a slightly different manner using most of the original materials. The negative pressure in my tent with it fully sealed for the day cycle caused the fan to push on the “jerry-rigged” setup causing it to slide down about 16inhes. I’ve reinforced a stopping point just like last time but with far more girth than the last . Fingers crossed this makes it to the end of flower & remains as my circulation configuration because paying for a 4”. 6” or even 8” clip on fan is just ludicrous Happy Growing ! Give us a like

She smells so strong 💪 colas go all the way Down each stem and are starting to form now! I have been able to gain more space as I harvested my wedding cheesecake yesterday so she’ll have plenty of light all round!

Going into week 3. looking forward to seeing some more progress this week to hopefully get this girl transplanted into 3 gal fabric pot and under a veg LED light. Popped two other seeds. One is doing great and the other one seems like it had a hard time penetrating the sub, the leaves opened but the root looks like it is coming up out of the sub.

She can't drink enough. It's crazy. Solid growth, good stems and major defoliation for this girl.

Not a lot to update the seedlings have came up out the soil at this point they are still to small to tell any visible differences. I started all the seeds from all 10 packs and and I put 26 of them in soil I now have about 20 of them left I still have atleast one left if every strain. I just kept the 20 plants that all started off at the same time it’s so much easier when there is not some plants behind from the rip. In a few days I will pick out the best one from each of the 10 strains and toss the rest so sad there is a plant count here.

Update July 30 102 °F Plants now need to be watered twice a day with 3/4 gallons. All my garden is burned except these incredibly girls, is a hard challenge. I can't understand not how much these plants survive but how they thrive instead Very hard to stay outside, very hard to take decent pics, very hard to sleep, to breath too. Closed at home I am building a dry trimming dock with a 120 microns sieve which I will then use to beat the dry trim in the Moroccan way. On Monday 27, the first day of the second heat wave, 90 ° F, the plant already begins to show signs of low heat stress and the forecasts are very bad, this could last for 2 weeks. This is a problem for me because I have planned to start stressing the plant with underwater, an impossible mission in this heat. For the same reason I'll stop to defoliate. I was forced to bend the tallest branches again for privacy reasons, this girl is fucking vigorous. From now on I will stop counting the height and the water, the first because the plant is completely folded 3/4 times and has exceeded 75 inches abundantly. The latter because I water them directly with the water hose. I will report only nutes when gived. Grasshoppers are starting their fucking job chewing leaves but I don't care, this resilient girl has tons of leaves so I'll let them to make defoliation in my place, checking only the new sprouts and for mites. Occasional mealybugs are prompted burned by my lighter, the best method!!! Still waiting for stigmas. RG is very leafy, she's still stretching but lots of pistils are appearing. Strong cheese/coffee scent. Unstoppable & resilient. She slips into any hole, through one of them one of her branches has finally reached the other two sisters, in a few square inches 3 buds of different strains are forming, embracing one another. Shape and thickness of the branches make me think of a not generous harvest, according to the breeder. Hope you enjoy the garden Happy to see U come back for updates. Cheers & Happy Growing! See ya soon

Hello Diary, Another week is behind me, Medusa F1 is incredibly fast, as you can see in the photos, already after the third week of flowering it looks quite mature. The smell is incredible, an extremely strong fruity aroma overwhelms me as soon as I open the grow box. The first Medusa (on the left in the grow box) is a little smaller and more mature than the second one, so I will probably harvest it first. But he certainly has another ten days if she continues like this. The flowers have filled in nicely, they are hard and very very sticky to the touch. After any work with plants, I need some time to wash my hands and remove the smell. Watering is more frequent, they become thirstier, but I no longer add any nutrients to them, only clean drained water to which I adjust the pH. on 6.0. The conditions at the Farm are excellent, the temperature is around 25 degrees, while the humidity is around 40%. Here's how it looked last week. 02/03/2023. - Day 37. Watering. I prepared 8 liters of water, let it sit for 24 hours to evaporate as much chlorine as possible, added Plagron's Lemon Kick to bring the p.H down to 6.0. I watered both plants evenly with that amount. 06/03/2023. - Day 41. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as four days earlier. 07/03/2023. - Day 42. Photography for the end of the third week of flowering. That's all I think for this week, I'm looking forward to next week. See you soon and thank you all for your support.

Comenzando un nuevo cultivo de 12 semillas Jamaican Dream de Eva Seeds. Sustrato 50% turba, 50% vermiculita con un pH de 4.0, por lo cual tuve que agregar dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5. 1.-Germinando directo en sustrato. 2.-al indoor para aprovechar la temperatura que genera el led, los días están algo helados y debo mantener la temperatura sobre los 20 grados Celsius, aproveche de espolvorear algo de great white sobre el sustrato y agregar más agua. 3.-aun nada, ansiedad x1000 😰, espero que al menos germinen 9 de las 12. 4.- Día 1, Por fin germinaron!!!!, 12 de 12, la ultima está asomando, ya les saque el plastico y les di el primer riego de agua 6.0pH con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, 1ml por litro de cada uno. Feliz!! 😁 5.- Día 2, ya están mostrando las primeras hojas de un solo dedo, 2~4cm de altura. Ahora a esperar que salgan las primeras hojas verdaderas para empezar a contar como primera semana de vegetación.

9/3 Shook the plants off this morning and took a few pics and did a video. Let's see if it uploads. Plants are doing good. Toasted toffy is due for another plant doctor application tonight. It seems like I'm losing lots of leaves. Looking back on my other diaries I guess it's normal. BUT I could've had pest/pathogen problems then. I'm over thinking it. Toasted toffy only needs a few more weeks. It will definitely outvrun the disease. The nugs are super dense too. The plant in the 50 is loosing leaves faster than I'd like. It is also one of the furthest along. The big leaves that turn yellow look like it's a calcium/magnesium issue. The stalk and branches are all bright green and healthy looking. So are the flowers. It could be something below the soil. I couldve been overwatering but last time I waited until it drooped. It will be fine though. I'm happy with my results so far. Not my best or biggest year but I'm going to put in the work and Mae these plants produce the best quality cannabis that im able too. Also I think plant doctor may kill insects. K bicarb with dawn does too. I've found a few dead bugs like flies and pillars. Pillars actually seem to be gone. Not many moths either. Unless I see them I'm not going to treat them for it. This is that magical time where you get to watch the plant produce those beautiful flowers. Despite some small problems I'm very grateful for what I have. I've worked hard for it. 9/4 Watered everything but the sherb pie which was still heavy with leaves yellowing. It's tied for the furthest behind in flower with the seed in the 10. I treated the toasted toffy with 1/4 gallon (4tsp/gallon) of plant doctor. I avoided flowers as much as possible and tried to just get a few leaves. I used the rest on the soil. I just wanted it to absorb a little faster. That's why I sprayed the foliage. It's not 4 days it's 14 days when tje plant doctor just leaves behind a bunch of potassium and phosphorus after it's done its job. Can't be used in a 14 day interval with copper and I think that's what treats septoria best. I dontvknow if I can use that in flower. Doesn't really matter. Things are looking good. Plant Doctor and the K bicarb seem to be doing there job effectively as long as i stick to the application times. I made a short video but didn't upload. I'll try again but I may have some medical emergencies that need to be dealt with. If not I should defoliate and tie down some event horizon branches. I thought about treating the other event horizon as well. I'm not positive it has septoria but it wouldn't hurt anything to be practice. It AT LEAST has a couple suspucuous spots. I smelled a skunk as soon as I got out of my car. It can't get in my grow but I might put out traps to catch it. We'll see how it goes. Video seems to be uploading. It's at 31% so I'll wait for it. I think I've got like four or five weeks on my toasted toffy and one event horizon and the one in the 50 that I THINK is red runtz. That's good that I'll have different plants to harvest at different times. It's seeds from here on out though. It was hard to find info on some of the strains I'm growing but they all have ONE thing in common. They are EXOTIC and they are at least MODERATELY DIFFICULT to grow. AT LEAST lol. Last year I picked the right seefs and strains and it greatly helped. Still, if these are difficult strains to grow, then I'm doing a good job. EDIT: I WAS STONED BUT IM PRETTY SURE I TREATED THE PLANT IN THE 50 WITH PLANT DOCTOR. DIDNT SPRAY BUDS. TRIED TO GET THE LEAVES THEN USED THE REST ON THE SOIL. I REMEMBER BECAUSE A STREAM ACCIDENTLY HIT A COUPLE LEAVES ON THE HUGE PLANT IN THE 10. 9/5 Sherb Pie was light and drooping. It's not to far in flower and still seemed moist yesterday with a little bit of weight. I watered it a gallon. I defoliated a little but I need to go through that plant. I have a bunch of plants that need a little work. The 50 gal seed is losing lots of leaves. I must not be feeding it enough, overwatering or maybe theres some sort of lock out. The plant looks nice and healthy. Leaves just turn yellow and die. Looked like a calcium or magnesium deficiency but i saw a septoria spot. I wouldn't think I've over feed or locked out using the small amounts of nutes I've used. It will be time to feed again soon. It's in the middle of flowering and still has leaves. I'm hoping things work out. I just have an anxiety disorder and worry too much. I'm GOING To have a great harve! I just need to keep moving forward and putting in the work. 9/6 What a fucking shitty morning. I did research on how to keep skunks out of your garden. Because I smelled it and the neighbors shot a few. Dad put traps out and it caught one. It wasn't a no spray trap so I approached it with him. Both had tarps. I kept telling him to throw it while I was distracting it bur he got a cramp and only got it over half. The half away from my garden. It's pretty far and down in a field but still. We had talked all morning about how to release it. I offered to drive their dog to take it for a walk so his alcoholic girlfriend wouldn't spiteful put the dog on its run. It wouldn't be sprayed but I made it out like it would ruin my plants. Picked dad up and got him to the bathroom. In that 30 seconds the stupid bitch grabbed the dog and brought it outside despite me YELLING "Can't you wait 5 minutes!? We've been dealing with this all morning. I heard fuck you in my head and she did it anyway. Dog ran at the skunk barking and it sprayed. Not a lot but I was fucking pissed. She's a full blown alcoholic and doesn't like me around early or the fact that my old man's 80 and house is mine. Anyway I got back and there was NO SKUNK SMELL. AT ALL! I WATERED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE AND FED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE. ILL FEED AND WATER THAT TOMORROW. WATERED A GALLON WITH A QUART OF FEED. Researched my strains found out they were all "difficult" to grow. One year ago to the Day I cut my first tenth planet. I got a couple close to a few weeks but the others will be later. If I can pull this off though I'll have some crazy quality! Grateful for what I have that's for sure! I doubled beastie bloom this time. We'll see how it goes.nothings uploading. I did some vids a pictures but I'll have to upload today. 9/7 I think it rained last night. I forgot to water and feed the sherb pie but I'll do it when I get back. I shook off the plants the best I could. I need to get the leaf blower out now and put it to use. Buds are swelling like crazy. GMOs are very tight flowers. Same with the event horizon. Rock hard nugs. With the gmo's I'm not worried. The were monster cropped so they have enough leaves even if some do die off. The toasted toffy only has like four weeks left. Same with the event horizon. The plant in the ten is the furthest behind but it's extremely healthy. I removed some leaves from the bottom and large fan leaves. The plant in the 50 I hope finishes before it loses all its leaves. I treated it with plant doctor and SOME people strip their plants but I don't. I'm grateful for what I've got. Won't be the biggest harvest but WHEN I make it to the finish line I will have some incredibly potent strains. I'm proud of myself to even get these to finish seeingvthe level of difficulty on cultivation. I'm trying to upload some stuff. We'll see. 9/8 Apparently it rained pretty hard last night. Took forever to go through and shake everything off and defoliate what needs it. Sherb pie is praying to the sky and almost totally purple. It's flowering so much more in the last couple days. Everything has. Even the one in the ten is stacking up! I defoliated most of what needed it and I was soaked. I noticed a branch on the middle gmo that was getting heavy and starting to break away from the trunk. It wad wobbly but I don't think there was a break un the Cambrian. I made a sling with rope (couldn't find zip ties) and I pulled it tight amd secured that branch to the tomato cage. GMO buds are hard as rocks. Everything is in overdrive. They liked that beastie bloom. I have cha ching but nothings ready for that yet I don't think. We'll the event horizon and toasted toffy might be I'll have to check. It's been beautiful today but not too hot. Lots of wind which is good. I'll upgrade supports as needed. Flowers are progressing at an amazing rate. Weather is supposed to be great the next few days. I'll keep this updated. 9/9 Had to shake the plants off. WATERED EVERYTHING BUT THE SHERB PIE WHICH WAS REALLY HEAVY. It's also lost a lot of leaves and the majority of leaves have turned purple. Toasted toffy and event horizon and red runts are pretty far into flower. I tried to take some pictures. Even the ten is blowing up! That looks like I'm going to switch to cha ching when flower gets further. Trichs are developing nicely on the ones further in flower. This year it's going to be quality over quantity. All these strains are ranked HARD to grow but have insane cannabinoid profiles and high THC %'s. So if I can keep it together for another month I'll be golden. Looking forward to it. This is the fun part. It's also the anxiety provoking part. I've learned a lot just since joining grow diaries.

Beginning of week.. This is the last and final week for sure for sure lol.. That makes 10 weeks from 12/12.. And by the trichomes they should both be prefect!.. With the Mandarin Cookiea having just a tad bit more amber than the ETHOS Cookies.. They both should have plenty.. This week may be cut a day short.. Because the only day I can find time to harvest will be the day before the next week starts.. The last day of the week (end of week).. And I want to go ahead and try the 48 hours of darkness thing once more.. To see if it may have any effect.. I guess if alot of people already do it.. What can it hurt??.. Anyways.. Still just giving rainwater.. Lately it has gone down on the PPM side.. Niceeee.. I was going to get some distilled and run it through (0 - 10 PPM) but the rainwater is at 15 - 17 PPM.. That's close enough for me.. Maybe still run a gallon of distilled the day before I begin the 48 hours of darkness thing-a-ma-doodle lol.. Today.. This is what happened... Going in: 17 PPM at 6.9 pH for both.. Run off: Mandarin Cookies was 100 PPM at 5.9 pH and the ETHOS Cookies was 54 PPM at 6.0 pH.. I think the Mandarin Cookies needs to be flushed a bit more before I feel comfortable with the flushing.. I believe its fine to not flush for a whole 2 weeks at 0 PPM or whatever.. But I do like to get it down pretty low by harvest time.. But I think everything will be fine.. Just gotta make sure I dont fuck up the drying 😬😬😬 Mid week.. Almost there!!! So excited! Can't wait! Got both runoffs at 50 PPM.. Just been watering as usual.. Both of these strains are going to be epic af! I think tomorrow will be the last day of lights on.. Going to begin the pre-harvest dark period to hopefully increase trichome/thc production or whatever it does 😂😂😂 if this bud ends up better than anything I've ever grown then I will do it every grow!.. But we shall see!!! End of week.. No pics this update.. They are both bathing in complete darkness for a couple days then CHOP!... Haven't even peaked at them.. They both should be on point! So happy for this to be just days away from going into jars!!! I've already cut a small branch from the Mandarin Cookies and dried it for 5 days.. A little faster then I wanted.. But wow.. It tasted immaculate.. I removed every leaf I could.. Leaving just the calyxes.. No chlorophyll.. Not really enough to get a buzz from.. Plus that was like 2 weeks ago.. So it was still too early for any decent amounts of THC.. But the taste is delicious af!.. I will take some pics before the chop and post them for the "end of this week" since it is going to be a day early anyway.. End of week.. Nvm lol.. Took some pics before harvesting and here they are! Even a sneak peak at the drying in the tent.. May be awhile till I post the harvest.. Want to make sure I give the best review on these ladies as I can! Hells yeah!!! So dank!

We don't hide behind a finger, nor behind a rolled joint nor behind anything, the Permanent Marker is the strain that has the most Hype at the moment in a few years and we also expect a lot from this one from Zamnesia. The cover of the seed pack alone is something spectacular, it seems to have been made by the best Street Writers. I know he is a master of Tattoo but here I see at least a minimum of past in Writing, in the hip hop sense of the term. If you only look at them a week ago it doesn't seem true, but when the plants start, they go and the Permanent Marker go like a rocket. In this diary you will find the plant that we will let grow straight, applying only a few techniques that do not involve cutting to preserve its characteristics of speed. After taking the first fertilizers the plant is really doing very very well at a great pace and we expect great things, the internodes are growing very well and we are practically almost in pre-flowering. The other one you can find in the next diary worked with Topping / Main Lining / Main Folding The comparison is the salt of the experience. 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 Mycorrhiza Mix (4gr in the mix, 1 gr under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l of Alga Grow I have doubts about the compatibility of Pure Zym with mycorrhizae. If in doubt, ask the experts, don't mix too much at random. https://plagron.com/en Doubts about Pure Zym / Mycorrhizae compatibility have been dispelled, they can go well together according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Taste this strain a little bit, it's a cross of legendary strains ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Short Description Zamnesia // When legendary genetics are crossed, something exceptional can only be born. Tangerine Dream is the result of crossing classic strains. With citrus and sweet aromas and flavors, vigorous growth and euphoric and stimulating effects, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds has it all. But don't take our word for it: order your seeds now and discover it for yourself. You can find the whole world of growing on Zamnesia and much more, take a tour of the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are exceptional and the old ones are no less... p.s. for now zero Hermaphrodites, growers can you say the same? ---- // www.zamnesia.com

Still coming along well and start to smell good. Added some pk 13/14 to the feed this week which will continue to the end of week 5. Going away for a few days end of this week which isn’t ideal but will set them up on a drip so hopefully they’ll be fine. Trying to add more pictures but finding it an absolute nightmare to do anything on here now.

In the end : 20 g of dried weight but had a really nice high even when I harvested it 2 weeks ago. First grow and one of the best bud I grew in last few months. Learned a lot from this, also started with another plant of the same strain a month ago indoor.
