Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

This is towards the end of last week. The BB crosses are doing excellent. They have all gone through some extreme temps with intense temp and RH fluctuations. I’ve concluded that the plants 1 week behind experienced too much heat on this one day when some things came up and I wasn’t around to get them out of the hot sun in time, and they were stunted by excessive heat over 90F. The others didn’t show much signs of stress at all. I’m not giving up on the little ones, but I am giving them a large amount of grace and understanding. They can just continue to grow and do their best. Maybe they will come back into full speed in a week or so. Maybe not. At least I will grow them out to learn what happens. From now on I will be extra careful with all stimuli my seedlings are receiving. Showing sone other plants of same age, some of which are photoperiods that began flowering about a month and a half early, with 15 hours of daylight! Why? My first guess is some form of extreme rodelization. I did notice on both A-Trains that they each had a node with two pollen sacks developing as well as the burst of female bracts. So I nicked off the pollen sacks right away, and I’ve been putting them under a light for the nights to hopefully reveg them. Either way, a fun anecdote for some new knowledge and experience! I’m sure they would bud out Fat! Seeing how much they did in 2-3 days! But maybe there’s other elements at play.

Day 40 from sprout: The watering helped the 30gal out after 1 day. 3/30 and 4/1 i topped each plant and continue to tuck leaves. Some defoliation on the lower fan leaves that were touching the medium a bit. I will defoliate a little more this week. Scrog will come out in another week or so. I am seeing some canoeing at the very top of each plant. Could be a pH thing or from heat but chances are its a pH thing. I'll keep an eye on it and lower the water pH i am giving it if it persists. Gave the 2L pot some water (a little top and mostly bottom water) on 4/1. Medium was looking very dry on top but wasnt showing signs of needing water so i didnt give it much.

What a plant! 2 of the 7 harvested a few days in front of the rest but they are amazing, the way they grew the final few weeks was amazing, they look like there double in size, maybe more compared to the lemon cherry, not slagging the 🍋s off because they look stunning, and smell like heaven, anyway, I can’t wait to get these dried and cured, but not to rush them 🙄😂, will update each plant as they come with a final update at the end with a smoke review

Day 49- This week I think we cut out the nutes and let them finish, atleast for the mbrxgp. The Pablo’s revenge looks to be about a week or so behind so we’ll go until they’re finished. Smells on the mbrxgp is heavy citrus, lemon almost, slight gas. Pablo’s are very earthy, I’m expecting a hashy, dank finish for them.

A really explosive week of growth. I pushed PPFD up to 310umols. Dimmers are at 60% which is drawing 224w plus 18w of DRRB. I have alos started Emerson effect ... Another The Emerson effect is triggered by the simultaneous exposure of plants to light in the deep red and far-red spectra Deep Red 660 nm /Far-Red 700 nm . A bit of boring science that explains why you need both far red and deep red in order to trigger Emerson. The effect occurs because photosynthesis is driven by two distinct pigment systems working in series:Photosystem II (PSII): Absorbs energy most efficiently at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies), like 680 nm (441 THz). Photosystem I (PSI): Absorbs energy most efficiently at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies), specifically 700 nm (428 THz). When you provide only the higher frequency (deep red), PSI becomes a bottleneck. When you provide only the lower frequency (far-red), PSII is not sufficiently excited to provide electrons. Providing both frequencies simultaneously allows both systems to work at peak efficiency, resulting in a rate of photosynthesis that is greater than the sum of the two lights used individually. To understand the Emerson Effect, think of photosynthesis not as a single engine, but as a two-stage assembly line. What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in 1957, this phenomenon shows that plants perform photosynthesis much more efficiently when they are hit by two specific types of light at the same time: Deep Red (660 nm) and Far-Red (700+ nm). If you give a plant only Far-Red light, photosynthesis is very slow. If you give it only Deep Red, it's better but still limited. However, when you give it both at once, the total rate of photosynthesis is significantly higher than if you just added the two results together (1+1=3). What is Happening? (The "Assembly Line") Inside the plant's chloroplasts, there are two "workstations" called Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). They work in series, meaning the first one must pass "parts" to the second one. PSII (The First Station): This station is tuned to catch Deep Red light (660 nm). It harvests electrons from water. PSI (The Second Station): This station is tuned to catch Far-Red light (700 nm). It takes the electrons from the first station and uses them to create energy (ATP and NADPH). The Problem: If you only provide Deep Red light, the first station works fast, but the second station can't keep up because it isn't being "powered" efficiently by that specific frequency. This creates a traffic jam of electrons. The Solution: By adding Far-Red light, you power up the second station. It now "pulls" the electrons from the first station much faster, clearing the traffic jam and making the whole assembly line run at full speed. The Benefits for The Grow.. Because i am using the Biotabs water-only method, my plants already have a steady supply of organic nutrients. Implementing the Emerson Effect offers several distinct advantages: Increased Biomass: Because the "engine" is running faster, the plant produces more sugars and carbohydrates, leading to heavier fruits or flowers. Faster Finishing: Plants often reach maturity sooner because they have more surplus energy to complete their life cycle. Better Light Penetration: Far-Red light is very good at passing through the upper leaves. This "wakes up" the lower parts of the plant that would otherwise be shaded, allowing the whole plant to contribute to growth. Enhanced Secondary Metabolites: In many crops, this synergistic light can stimulate the production of terpenes and antioxidants, improving the "quality" (smell, taste, and potency) of the final harvest. The "Sunrise/Sunset" Trick I am using 4x Invisible sun Far red/Deep red bars,they use high-quality Samsung LH351H (660nm Deep Red) and specific Far-Red (730nm) diodes for 10–15 minutes at the start or end of the light cycle. This mimics the natural shift in light at sunrise and sunset, "waking up" the photosystems or signaling the plant to go into "sleep mode" faster, which can further optimize the flowering cycle. Enviromentally i am chasing a VPD of about 1,1kpa. My room seem to sit nicely at lights on at 24c with no real drama and a little help from a 220W greenhouse bar radiator. Its using abot 4kw/h a day atm because my room is attached to the side of my house and its been -5c.. I have had to add some humidity as its also very dry atm. Im aiming for RH of 65% with my 24c but it is more around the 62s.. VPD is crucial and is the focus for this grow for me. The autopots and Biotabs make it so easy ican really just focus on perfect enviroment. A VPD of 1.0–1.2 kPa provides enough "atmospheric pull" to move calcium and magnesium up from the roots, which is critical for the rapid cell division happening now.. Plants will be flipped on Saturday which is their week 5 as im a bit behind.. As this happens i will push PPFD upto 4-500umols. by week 2 of flower. Thats the plan anyway..

Sooo, about three and a half weeks have passed since the last update - she should be around week 3.5 of flowering by now, and goddamn, I’m stunned, bro. I had some medical PM a few months ago, and the smell already reminds me so much of it. It’s also the stickiest stuff I’ve grown so far, and she’s not even halfway through flowering yet.

For the most part the girls did well other than the Durban Poisons getting some rapid purple leaf on both plants at the same time. One morning temps hit 15c due to an error with my new heater. Hoping that is what the cause is. Got tired of chasing fungus gnats so I decided to fight fire with fire and be a little proactive and release ladybugs and a few million nematodes 🧐🤓. Nematodes will become a weekly part of all growing in the future. As will ladybugs just to ensure they help keeps mites and gnats at bay. No obvious bug damage so far but I don’t want to jinx it as I have 3-4 weeks left on these 🤔🤔. Check it out at thebuglady.ca if you don’t want to use sprays! Till next week!

All good. Give her a Dryback once because the Soil was to wet. After that her Flavour come back. It‘s a candy sweet but not that extreme and maybe bit floral or i don’t know exactly. But i like it Gave her at 26th one Liter with 0,5ml Calmag. At 27 i decide to flush her. 7l with PH 6.5 and 7l normal Tapwater. First a bit of the PH corrected then the Tapwater and at the End 3l of the PH Water again. That she don’t get burnt by the Nutrients. Was first time i did this. So don’t know if it makes 100% sense 😄 At 30th May she was dry out and i gave her another Litre. Give her few more Days to mature out. Trichomes are almost all milky. A few amber ones i spotted. At 10% amber i want to harvest her Corrected the Lights for the Bilbos. And the Doppler gets 800 PPFD until she get cut Was real happy and proud that i get her trough this crazy Run 😁🙏🏼 she don’t stress me, but make me lil bit nervous when i found out that she had flipped without the Flip. But everything turns to a good Story 💚💚 i stayed at Paradise Seeds in Future Had a 3 Seeds Pack of Nebula again at home one of Dutch Dragon and the other Dopplers are in my Fridge and wait to germinate Thank you all for being here with me, checked out my Diary sometimes and comment a lot 🏼 hope we‘re stay in touch

1st of November, HARVEST, D91 So, after the 24 hours of darkness, she is now beautiful and ready. After chopping her, I hung her for some hours – I had some stuff to do – and after that I did wet trimming since I find it more convenient and I don´t like to trim dry buds. I guess the best way for me would be to leave it drying for some days, do the trimming, then leave it drying some more, but, I sincerely don´t have patience lol. When I was in the last stock to trim (which was the main btw) the top bud looked strange to me so I opened it and it was starting to rot.. I got really sad but what can I do except for trying to save it, right? So I took all the rotten parts out of the top bud and tore it to pieces to watch it closely and keep it from getting any more mold. D94 Today I weighed the half part of the top bud that was already dry and it remained without any mold: 3.6 grams. D97 Everything is dry and now curing, the total weight is 68.6, 65 of the whole plant and 3.6 of what I saved from the rotten bud. I´m really happy with the results, the buds aren´t much dense but they look beautiful. D111 Today is the 14th day of curing. D120 Today I´ll be doing the smoke report, it´s been curing for 3 weeks and the smells is quite good already, I know it can be better but the taste is good already so I´ll be doing it today. More info on growing in the previous weeks and a summary of growing and also the smoke report are on the top at the strain review. Thank you very much for reading my diary!

Second to last week started. Those damn gnats came back although I thought I had fought them. But I’m not to worried at this point. Put a few more yellow cards up and that should maintain the number low to none. Smell is great. And it really is sticky icky. Trichome coverage and density is very strong. Those are remarkably long trichomes. I’m excited how the bubble hash from the trim will turn out. Fingers double-u'd to not have happen anything bad in the final two weeks now.

Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 – Zamnesia Seeds | Germination & Early Growth Starting another grow diary with Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 from Zamnesia Seeds The beginning has been smooth and uncomplicated, with the seedlings establishing themselves well and showing healthy early growth. Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 is listed as an easy-to-grow, feminized photoperiod strain, with a balanced 60% Indica / 40% Sativa genetic profile. What makes this one particularly interesting is the F1 photoperiod genetics. F1 varieties are created by crossing selected parent lines with the aim of combining desirable traits while increasing genetic uniformity and stability in the resulting generation. In practical terms, this can mean more consistent plants from seed, with greater predictability in characteristics such as structure, growth pattern and overall development. Of course, individual plants can still show some natural variation. The listed parents are Sunset Sherbet × Girl Scout Cookies, with a reported terpene profile built around myrcene, limonene and pinene. The expected aroma combines sweet and fruity notes with pine, sour and tropical nuances. With an expected indoor height of around 100 cm, Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 should remain relatively compact compared with more Sativa-dominant varieties. The flowering period is listed at 9–10 weeks, with the strain also described as resistant to both diseases and pests. For this grow, I’m using the Zamnesia Ecosystem grow box, including its ventilation system, together with the Zamnesia Phytonaut LED 480W. Nutrition is provided by Zamnesia Vegan Grow. At this stage, the main goal is to follow how consistently the F1 genetics express themselves throughout the cycle and to see how the plants develop from early growth into the flowering phase. With the combination of Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies genetics, the terpene development will also be something worth keeping an eye on as the plants mature. **Strain:** Lemon Cherry Gelato F1 **Breeder:** Zamnesia Seeds **Genetics:** Sunset Sherbet × Girl Scout Cookies **Genotype:** 60% Indica / 40% Sativa **Type:** Feminized, photoperiod F1 **Difficulty:** Easy **Terpenes:** Myrcene, Limonene, Pinene **Flowering time:** 9–10 weeks **Indoor height:** up to 100 cm **Outdoor height:** up to 200 cm **Reported THC:** up to 26% **Reported CBD:** 0–1% **Resistance:** Disease and pest resistant **Aroma:** Sweet, fruity, pine, sour, tropical **Reported effects:** Relaxing, energizing, euphoric, balanced Grow setup: 🌱 Zamnesia Ecosystem Grow Box 💡 Zamnesia Phytonaut LED – 480W 💨 Integrated ventilation system Zamnesia Vegan Grow All the products used in this grow are available at www.zamnesia.com

Mais leur vrai secret pour des fleurs massives était l'effeuillage sélectif lié aux phases de la lune. Ils enlevaient les grandes feuilles d'ombre uniquement lors de la lune descendante, croyant que cela forçait la "sève sacrée" à refluer vers les fleurs. Ils appelaient cela "nourrir les perles". un grand merci a tous ceux qui me suivent cela me fait énormément plaisir et vous souhaite une bonne lecture.

End of day 27 flower for White Widow and Royal Gorilla. White Widow seems to be packing on more weight then RG but both are starting to get frostier by the day. Day 3 flower for Platinum Banana and Critical. They are showing flowers now Lollipop all 4 girls and changed all reservoirs to fresh nutrients. WAiting to refill my CO2 tank so these girls can pack on my weights. Take care and keep growing my friends...

Girls are really full on flowering!!! They all seem super happy! Been trying to get on a better flushing regiment as it seems to really help around harvest with salt build up using general hydroponics nutrients. I can already see some buildup around the fabric pots. Gonna do a basic pesticide foliar spray with azomax. I don’t see any pests but I’d like to keep it that way esp since I’m flowering now. But everything is going as planned and keeping a watchful eye on them. Oh and also did a little defoliation again...the Maui seems to just keep bushing out while the dosi just wants to stretch!! Super impressed with the genetics and resilience of these 2 strains
