Temperature fluctuations between 18c and 24c whilst lights are on even with a heater in there. Also putting the humidity up higher into the high 60’s which is not ideal.

Total days above ground: 63 Total flower nights: 24 Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. The Mountaintop Mint has made great strides but is still a lanky bitch. I had to HST every branch, and may need to bend a couple more down before vegetative growth abates. Not a fan of this growth pattern and still unhappy about 2 out of 9 seeds providing a viable outcome. The bright side is that yield should be fine given the plethora of bud sites. Despite being difficult to grow next to other plants, I feel much better about its prospective outcome than I did just 1 week ago. That whole "crazy shit can happen in flower" thing rings true, again. Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action... One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health. I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless. Side note: The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference. Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.

🌙 Week 12 from Seed / Week 8 Flower — “The Dark Lady Rising” What a journey this has been. From that single seed born under a 12/12 rhythm, she’s proven that beginnings don’t define limits — they define character. If you’re just joining us, this White Widow from Zamnesia started life under an 11/13 shuttle — a true from-seed flower cycle. While most plants grow before they bloom, she began her story in full awareness of time, learning to balance energy from day one. The 12/12 rhythm teaches a plant to optimize every second of light — to focus not on size, but on efficiency, structure, and density. 🌿 This Week — The Transformation Deepens We’re now in week 8 of flower, and this girl is simply breathtaking. Her buds are dense, coated in frost, and carrying tones of deep green to near-purple, whispering that a darker finish is coming. The trichomes look like they’ve been dusted in starlight — thick, sticky, and reflecting light like ice in a warm glow. The aroma is growing stronger, rich with that unmistakable 90s soul — earthy, spicy, and nostalgic. Every breath feels like opening a time capsule from the golden age. The structure remains compact, balanced between strength and grace. Every cola is firm, symmetrical, and promising exceptional development over the final stretch. 💧 Feedings & Care She continues on her well-calibrated Aptus + Plagron routine: Aptus Regulator for balance and resilience CalMag Boost for structure All-in-One Liquid to sustain her metabolism Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation to enhance flavor, weight, and resin Even with nutrients in her pre-built soil, these light feedings help her push to full potential — especially under the demanding 12/12-from-seed schedule. 🌞 Environment & Observations The room continues to ride steady despite the season’s warmth — around 28–30°C, with humidity hovering near 55–60%. The VPD sits around 1.4–1.6, right in the sweet spot for flower stacking and trichome expansion. Lighting, managed through Trolmaster with Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs, keeps her under a balanced spectrum with Emerson effect red cycles — 15 minutes before and after lights-on for maximum photosynthetic efficiency. 📸 Photography & Documentation Captured through the loyal Sony a6000, alternating between macro and standard lenses to highlight her best angles — from the full canopy’s dark silhouette to the icy micro-world of her trichomes. Each frame tells a different part of her story. 🌺 What to Expect & What Not In the coming weeks, we expect: Even deeper color tones — likely deep violet or burgundy Continued resin production, especially on sugar leaves Aroma intensification and the start of natural fade What not to expect: Big size changes. She’s already done stretching — it’s all density and maturity now. Harsh stress reactions — this girl has adapted perfectly to her rhythm. 🌍 Gratitude & Vibes To everyone reading, following, commenting — the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new wanderers — thank you for being part of this journey. To Zamnesia, for the genetics that bridge generations. To Aptus and Plagron, for the nourishment that sustains life.

The plant has now stopped growing in height and is focusing on forming flowers. I'm still absolutely thrilled about Deepwaterculture and Canna! Thanks go out to Canna for her simple and great products!

The Buds on the Big one are growing and she seems to enjoy her Company. The small ones start to stretch, besides that it has been a pretty boring week for me and my Tiny Clone Army of Happiness. 😊 12-02-25: The big one needs more water than the small ones. Who would have thought 🤔 Off to the shaming wheel with me. *Shame* *Shame* *Shame*

Now we are going to week four, the plants have started to really vegetate, I have seen rapid growth in cannabis and other plants before, however, this strain is growing very large at a tremendous pace. I am having no issues so far, I am doing very light training and I started using pH down, as the plants ingest the nutrients the pH is rapidly rising. I hope to preserve perfect pH within the next week and continue on. I have been adding a gallon of water every three days to keep the reservoir at the right level. The plants are receiving a constant PPM of 400. Not only am I seeing five-finger leaves but I am also seeing seven-finger leaves. The plants are looking very healthy and there are no issues at all so far. I have Started to train the plants and started mainlining, I have also slightly defoliated the plant. This Plant is overgrowing the free seed from seedsmen. ( in hindsight I have never gotten any good free seeds from seedsmen) Science: There are a few ideas in this grow journal that I am toying with. The first idea is putting low-voltage conduction through the roots of the plants, I strongly believe that stimulating the the roots with electricity will induce larger and stronger vegetation. The other idea is blasting the plants with low decibel sound waves. We will see. There is another idea I have with string LED lights. However, I'm going to keep some of my secret sauce to myself.

💪😍

Day 43 (15 of flowering) stopped top max. Added 2 ml more of bio grow, Let’s see what’s going to change. Stretching is visible every day more. Now just waiting to big bud increasing. Next week i’ll add Carbon Filter to ventilation set up. I think other 6 weeks left. Day 45, added Rhino skin, let’see next change. Day 46, i think streching is finish. Now just waiting to get that bud big and fat. Removed top max 4 days ago, and added 2 ml of rhino yesterday just to improve stem and branches, i added cause i tought to a nutrients déficience but at thé end after reading answers to my question i fixed air ventilation that was increasing too much the temperature in the up per side of the grow. Soil Ph is 6,8. Day 48, i just moved my ventilation that was causing some issue to the highest bud of orange. Rhino by adv increasing stem health is visible now and color are great. I think orange will take at least 2/3 weeks more than Blue dream auto Any suggestion is accepted :) Let’s go.

The veg cycle was shorter than i usually like to have a plant go through, due to time restrictions for the Bubba Cheesecake Diary grow-off, but it still did fantastic in my mind! Three months in veg under high-octane light and 11 1/2 weeks in flower have let this plant turn into a dreadlocked group of nugs. Three main colas, but lots of burnable flower to enjoy once the dry is finished. I did a light LST with a decent amount of defoliation throughout the plant's life. I like to open up the middle area of the plant and let as much light as possible hit as many branch and potential flower nodes as possible. This way, i don't need to lollipop as many branches and as much foliage as i would if i didn't do this. Plus, the candelabra look is b-e-a-Utiful, in my opinion. Light intensity through veg ranged from 40% as a fresh seedling to around 55% the week before i put it into the bloom room. Once it was in the bloom room, the intensity was set at 50% for the first couple weeks to allow for a decent stretch. After that, i think i recorded the light intensity in my diary notes for each week. But, just in case i didn't, I bumped up the intensity by a few percent every 3 days until i hit 100%. Once i got to MAXIMUM POWER, i left it there until harvest. Water was natural well water that tests out at 7 pH. I always added BuildABloom to the water, never the soil, when i used it. Same with Dr. Earth's 1-2-1 tea concentrate. Other than those instances, it was just straight water that i was giving to the plant. Grow rooms are both about 4'x8'. Lights are still budget lights: -IMVSincere BC100(x3) for veg (Link: https://www.amazon.com/IMVSINCERE-Spectrum-High-Performance-Greenhouse-Hydroponic/dp/B095C2DLH5/ref=asc_df_B095C2DLH5/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563646983247&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=540375076791862758&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005737&hvtargid=pla-1602626531718&psc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw__ihBhADEiwAXEazJgD4ugog9JhrBxNShAvyxL7mk9FZTcqD8voe6_dtA20JctuC5Q9qvBoCD7oQAvD_BwE ) Abriselux A1500(x2) for flower (Link: https://www.amazon.com/Abriselux-Dimmable-Coverage-Upgraded-Hydroponic/dp/B08V1FM9V2/ref=asc_df_B08V1FM9V2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507792239689&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17954986133471144655&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005737&hvtargid=pla-1213853152075&psc=1 ) All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable cultivars I've grown inside since i started indoor grows in September 2022. I'm definitely going to try and get more seeds off of my brother, as well as buy some more seeds to pheno-hunt through! Thank you, @Seedsman , for running this contest. I would have never tried this cultivar out if it wasn't for you giving me a little incentive!

# 🍋 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 — Pheno B ## Germination Week | Quiet Confidence Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to the first official entry for Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno B. Today we continue documenting the second phenotype of this exciting new F1 project growing inside the Zamnesia tent setup. While her sister may have grabbed attention early with an impressive taproot and rapid emergence, Pheno B followed a slightly different approach. Not slower. Not weaker. Simply different. One of the most rewarding aspects of growing cannabis is learning that every seed has its own pace and personality. And from the very beginning, this girl seemed perfectly comfortable doing things her own way. --- ## A New Project Begins This diary is part of a completely separate project from my ongoing 12/12-from-seed garden. For this run, the objective is very different. Rather than flowering from day one, these plants are being given the opportunity to fully develop under a traditional vegetative schedule. Current plans include: - 18/6 light schedule - Full vegetative development - Potential Low Stress Training (LST) - Potential topping - Possible Scrog implementation - Structural development observations - Full seed-to-harvest documentation At this stage, however, everything begins with a healthy germination. --- ## The Cannakan Germination Method Like all the plants in this project, Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno B began life inside the Cannakan germination system. The process remains intentionally simple. The seed was placed into the system using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. After approximately 24 hours of soaking, most of the water was removed while leaving enough moisture to maintain ideal germination conditions. Before long, a healthy taproot appeared and the seed was ready for planting. Perhaps not quite as dramatic as her sister's impressive root, but healthy, vigorous, and exactly what we hope to see. Sometimes consistency is just as beautiful as speed. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that often appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seed immediately?" The answer remains simple. The seed already contains everything required for the earliest stage of life. Inside that shell are all the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin development. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural reserves exactly as intended. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. Nature already prepared the rest. --- ## From Seed To Seedling Once a healthy taproot emerged, Pheno B was transferred into Plagron Lightmix. This substrate continues to be one of my preferred starting mediums due to its excellent aeration, forgiving nature, and reliable performance during early development. The seed settled into its new home and quickly began establishing roots. Before long, she emerged above the soil surface and began searching for light. Healthy stem. Healthy cotyledons. Healthy color. Everything exactly where it should be. The start may have been slightly less dramatic than her sister's, but the destination remains exactly the same. A strong foundation for the weeks ahead. --- ## Why Use A Humidity Dome? During the first few days after emergence, the seedling spent time inside a humidity dome. Young seedlings have only a limited root system and therefore limited access to water. Maintaining slightly elevated humidity helps reduce moisture loss while roots continue developing beneath the surface. The humidity dome is not intended to become a permanent environment. It is simply a temporary support system during one of the most delicate phases of growth. As roots develop, the dome is removed and the plant begins adapting to the environment it will experience throughout the remainder of its life. The goal is adaptation. Not dependence. --- ## Building The New Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit This project is being grown entirely inside the new Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit. One of the biggest surprises during setup was just how straightforward the assembly process turned out to be. The entire system was assembled by one person. Tent. LED. Carbon filter. Inline fan. Ducting. Controller. Cable management. Everything. Even with a few adjustments required due to space limitations, the entire setup was operational in less than an hour. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the overall build quality immediately left a very positive impression. The frame feels solid. The materials feel durable. And the system feels thoughtfully designed from the start. Now the plants get to deliver the real review. --- ## What's Included In The Kit? The complete Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit includes: - Grow Tent 100×100×200 cm - Phytonaut LED Grow Light 320W - Inline Duct Fan 150 mm - Carbon Filter Air Purifier 150 mm - Grow Environment Controller - Grow Tent Clip Fan - Flexible Ducting - 24-Hour Timer - Rope Ratchet Hangers - Velcro Cable Management Accessories Everything currently operating inside this tent comes directly from this package. No substitutions. No upgrades. No modifications. This allows a genuine evaluation of the complete system exactly as supplied. --- ## Environmental Conditions For this first week, lighting remained intentionally gentle. Using a PAR meter, light intensity was measured at approximately: ~200 PPFD Young seedlings simply do not require high light levels during this stage. The objective is healthy establishment and strong root development rather than rapid vertical growth. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week and the plant responded beautifully. Healthy posture. Healthy color. Good development. And no signs of stress. Exactly what we hope to see from a successful start. --- ## First Impressions Of Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno B Although her sister may have been the first to catch the eye, Pheno B has quietly built an excellent foundation of her own. Healthy germination. Healthy emergence. Balanced development. Strong color. Good vigor. And a calm, steady progression that inspires confidence moving forward. I've learned over the years not to make too many predictions this early. Plants have a wonderful habit of surprising us. So rather than creating expectations, I prefer creating opportunities and allowing the plant to show us who she wants to become. That approach rarely leads to disappointment. Only discovery. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we'll continue documenting every stage of development. We'll follow: - Root establishment - Vegetative growth - Environmental management - Structural development - Training decisions - Nutrient progression - Genetic expression - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal For now, Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno B has completed a healthy and successful germination week and has settled comfortably into her new home. The roots are growing. The leaves are reaching. And the adventure has officially begun. Grower's Love everyone. 💚🌱🍋 Sometimes the plants that arrive quietly end up making the loudest impression later on.

5 semanas y 4 días de flora

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. ⸻ TL;DR – Week 6: • New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. • Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. • Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. • Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) • Light stayed at intensity level 7

📆 Semana 7 Comienza junio y la planta muestra una clara aceleración del crecimiento tras adaptarse completamente al exterior. Los nuevos brotes avanzan con fuerza, aumenta la ramificación y la estructura gana volumen de forma constante. El sistema radicular sigue expandiéndose, elevando poco a poco la demanda de agua y nutrientes. El color se mantiene saludable y el vigor general continúa mejorando gracias a las largas horas de sol y las temperaturas favorables. ⚡ EC: 1.0 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 20–22°C 🌫️ Humedad: 50–65% 💡 PPFD: luz solar exterior (~1200–2200 PPFD en horas centrales) 🌡️ Temp ambiente: 25–29°C 🔥 Nota: Junio marca el inicio de una fase de crecimiento muy activa. Si las condiciones acompañan, la planta aumentará rápidamente su tamaño y consumo de agua y alimento. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Week4

Well it’s weeks 11 and I graduated from auto flowers although I miss there convenience I’m ready for the big times and I want to grow some regular trees. On one side I topped 2 into 4 bud spots And the other side I fimmed her and I’m stretching her around nuturally

Day 86, 5th of December 2020: Similar to my Runtz Gum the same breeder brillinat! Healthy, strong and amazing! Big like! All good nothing much to say! The lamp is now on 11 hours and off 13 hours. Every week 15 minutes was taken off and after 4 weeks here we go. Strated 12/12 and now 13/11 wanted try to imitate the nature as the light days are getting shorter. Fertilization has changed no more epsom salt from this week and I will stop giving nitrogen as well from next week.

EC Meter broke and accidentally refed the plants double nutes at 1700 EC. Also never measured the pH while flushing with RO water. The runoff is all over the place reading up to 2500EC and 7+ pH. Realized the pH doesn't matter as much but the PPM runoff still is important. Flushed them for a day and transplanted them up to 5 gallon pots to refresh the medium. Also highly recommend dusting your roots with mycorrhizae when transplanting. The beneficial microbes attach to the roots and help metabolize the nutrients being fed for faster root intake.
