**** HAARVEST ZOE **** Nice Strain , My little Zoe really made all the mistakes you could possibly make. No matter when I give light or want water or fertilizer. It grows and grows and grows, the main thing is that there is light. It was one of my free seeds from Zamnesia. So far all seeds have germinated. I store my seeds in a dark, airtight container at 6°C. Tastes kind of sweet after curing. Greenhouse Feeding is a really easy fertilizer to use. I used the BioEnhancer again and again. My little Zoe thanked me. The BioGrow was used as topdressing and is doing its job. The BioBloom also does its job at the right time. And that's really great and easy if you don't have an autoflower. Of course there is a corresponding product. But I was happy to get anything here at all. Legalization has wiped out the market. But for next time I have an appropriate soluble fertilizer for fast-flowering plants. It doesn't work for 8 weeks :)) I use a Sanlight Evo 3-60 1.5 with Bluetooth dimmer. There's nothing to complain about there. Set daily cycle via app. Helpful if the weather or environment is so bad that you have to regulate the light intensity. 33g after 5 days dry . 24.5 °C to 22°C with 50%-60% . curing in a vaccum box at 18°C . It looks like I'm drying too long. // It tastes a bit crunchy. Day 79: trim , slow vacuum box to cure 22°C and 61%rH . Day 76: videostuff: been drying for 4 days (res 640x480) ( optical zoom x200 - x250 ) Day 72: DLI usage total this Plant : 2236.6 DLI in 70 Days . wet trimmed, cut off, hung upside down. see you after 14 days Day 71: preparing for harvest . 24h long night session . DLI : 0 Day 70: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (16:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF video and photo tryouts with the digimicro mobil x300 optical zoom , mostly freehand Day 69: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (03:30) - 1000PPFD (14:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF incredibly hot and rain. lost some terpene :)) Well, summer is coming, Day 68: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - Added 1L bottle of water It's hot, hot, hot, Zoe would like more water. changed daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. tent is open until my real night comes. 103 flowers (including popcorn) counted, due to an accident about 15 flowers are missing. Day 67: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 900PPFD (03:30) - 900PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - watering bottle water 1.75L weather to hot , changed daylight start time and daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. I'm lucky, buds are still growing :))) Day 66 (we are on the road with maximum sanlight ) - analyse some trichome . - make some Zoom Pics and Video stuff . - Sanlight DaylightCycle : - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (00:30) - 1000PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - DLI will stress alot ... Anyway, it's too hot in my room... I open the tent and now everything is fine with the temperatures and I increase the Sanlight to 100% for the first time. May Zoe love it or leave it :)) We'll see what happens Day 65 : Sanlight DaylightCycle : ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (00:30) - 850PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF It will soon be ready for harvest.

Great harvest but I believe I can do a lot better with what I learned. See the next round coming soon, one last seed on the tube. The last pictures I'll be able to post from Sweet seeds hahahaa the harvest just vanish. As a rule of thumb, I saved the top buds for last and manage to do these pictures for their contest. Enjoy.

🌿 Grow Diary – Tag 84 | Blütetag 24 „Radikaler Haarschnitt, erste Harzschicht … und die Schädlingspolizei dreht wieder ihre Runden“ Diese Woche war klar: Schere raus – untenrum einmal Kernsanierung. Die Ladies wurden ordentlich gelollipopped und ich hab wirklich nicht gekleckert. Der Eimer war am Ende randvoll mit Schnittresten. Alles, was unten nur Energie klaut oder im Schatten gammelt, ist beinahe konsequent rausgeflogen. Ab jetzt geht die komplette Kraft nur noch in die Tops. Die Kush hat mir dabei kurz den Puls hochgetrieben. Etwas instabil im Aufbau, beim Schneiden halb auseinandergefallen – ich durfte erstmal wieder puzzeln, welche Triebe ich eigentlich behalten wollte. Kurz Zelt-Chaos … aber wieder eingefangen. 😄 📏 Höhe & Stabilität Der Stretch ist jetzt offiziell vorbei. Endhöhe: ca. 1,10 Meter – besser hätte es fast nicht laufen können fürs Setup. Viel höher und wir hätten Licht-Tetris spielen müssen. Zur Stabilisierung hängen jetzt überall Pflanzen-Jojos. Diese kleinen Rollen mit Nylonschnur, die die Äste sanft hochziehen und schwere Buds stützen. Schön gleichmäßiges Blätterdach, nichts kippt weg, alles entspannt. Echt kleine Gamechanger. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung Jetzt startet die eigentliche Show: Buds stapeln sich sichtbar erste Trichome / Harzbildung leichter, süßer Duft im Zelt Man merkt richtig: 👉 Produktionsmodus aktiviert. Jeden Tag ein bisschen frostiger. Ernährung & Feintuning Allerdings zeigen sie langsam klar: 👉 Phosphor- & Kaliumhunger Die BioTabs-Tabletten waren top für den Start, aber in der intensiven Blütephase einfach etwas zu träge. Plan: Mikroben pushen → Bodenleben aktivieren moderat PK nachdüngen → Blütenaufbau unterstützen Ein kleiner Schub, damit die Buds richtig Masse machen. 🐛 Reality Check: Nervensägen-Alarm Und ja … natürlich gibt’s auch die weniger glamouröse Seite des Grows. Tripse und Trauermücken zum Beispiel. Doppelt hält leider nicht besser. 😅 Tripse → silbrige Fraßspuren auf den Blättern Trauermücken → kleine schwarze Nervflieger über der Erde Nichts Dramatisches, aber einfach maximal lästig. So dieses typische: „Könnt ihr bitte einfach verschwinden?“ Werden natürlich beobachtet und in Schach gehalten – aber eingeladen war hier definitiv keiner. ✅ Wochenfazit Lollipopping erledigt ✔️ Stretch durch ✔️ Höhe perfekt bei 1,10 m ✔️ Jojos stabilisieren alles ✔️ Harz & Buds starten durch ✔️ Tripse nerven ✔️ Trauermücken nerven leider genauso ✔️ Unterm Strich trotzdem: richtig guter Fortschritt. Jetzt heißt’s wieder: füttern, beobachten, feinjustieren – und zuschauen, wie aus den Ladies langsam kleine, klebrige Harzmonster werden. Grüne Grüße & happy growing allerseits Rocko 🌿✂️ 🌿 Grow Diary – Day 84 | Flowering Day 24 “Heavy haircut week, first frost… and pests being annoying as hell” This week had one clear mission: Scissors out – clean up everything below the canopy. The ladies got a proper lollipopping session, and I definitely didn’t go easy on them. By the end, the bucket was completely full of cuttings. Everything down low that only steals energy or sits in the shade had to go. From now on, all power goes straight into the tops. The Kush caused a bit of drama though. She’s slightly unstable structurally and basically fell apart while pruning, so I had to puzzle together which shoots I originally wanted to keep. Short chaos in the tent… but fixed. 😄 📏 Height & Support Stretch is now officially over – finally. Final height: around 1.10 meters, which is pretty much perfect for the tent. Any taller and we’d be fighting the lights. To keep everything stable, I installed plant yo-yos everywhere – those retractable supports with nylon strings. They gently pull branches upward, support heavy buds, and keep the canopy nice and even. Small tools, big impact. 🌸 Flower Progress Now the fun part really starts. You can see it every day: buds stacking up first visible trichomes/resin light sweet smell filling the tent That moment when you open the zipper and think: 👉 “Alright… production mode activated.” Each day gets a little frostier. Nutrition & Adjustments What’s becoming obvious now: 👉 early phosphorus and potassium deficiencies The BioTabs tablets worked great so far, but during heavy flowering they’re simply a bit too slow. So the plan: add microbes → boost soil life moderate PK supplementation → support bud building Just a small extra push so the flowers can really bulk up. 🐛 Reality Check: Pest Squad And of course… it wouldn’t be a real grow without some annoying visitors. Thrips AND fungus gnats. Double trouble. 😅 Thrips → those classic silver streaks on the leaves Fungus gnats → tiny black flies hovering around the soil Nothing catastrophic, but seriously annoying. That constant “can you guys just leave already?” feeling. They’re under control and being monitored closely — but yeah… nobody invited them. ✅ Weekly Summary Lollipopping done ✔️ Stretch finished ✔️ Height dialed in at 1.10 m ✔️ Yo-yos supporting branches ✔️ Buds & resin starting strong ✔️ Thrips annoying ✔️ Fungus gnats annoying too ✔️ Overall, still very happy with the progress. Now it’s feed, observe, fine-tune… and watch the ladies slowly turn into sticky little resin monsters. Green greetings & happy growing, Rocko 🌿✂️

NY Diesel Auto Feminised is an auto-flowering version of the celebrated New York City Diesel. It is mostly indica while also displaying some sativa-like cerebral effects to accompany the deep relaxation that it provides. NY Diesel Auto grows to a height of 60 – 100 cm. tall and develops plenty of side-branches that produce nice, dense buds. Growers can harvest yields of yields of around 600 gr/m2 in just 60 - 70 days from germination. This strain can also be grown successfully outdoors due to the hardy ruderalis genetics. The scent is very dank with notes of diesel fuel. THC production is in the region of 14 – 16% while CBD levels are around 2%. The overall effect has an initial cerebral quality leading into bodily relaxation and a sense of wellbeing while not being physically incapacitating 10/5 Dropped two NY Diesel Auto seeds into a shotglass of room temp spring water. Placed the shotglass in a dark warm cupboard. I will be preparing the medium today as well. The plan is 24 hours in the shotglass, 24 hours in a wet paper towel, then straight into 3gal fabric pots that have already been cooking for 2 days. They'll go under 18/6 with RH at 60% to 70%. 10/6 One seed has a tiny tap root and is still floating in the glass. The other seed fell to the bottom but has no taproot. Letting them stay in the shotglass another 12 hours. 10/7 Diesel #2 Half inch tap root and she sank to the bottom of the shotglass finally. I wet the coco-perl with PH 6.35 room temp water with Fish Sh!t in it. Let's grow Diesel #3 without Fish Sh!t for comparison. Diesel #3 She has a miniscule taproot and it's black. Could just be film from the seed case where it cracked. I put her in a damp paper towel and stuck her in the dish washer. We'll check back in 12 hours. 12 hours later, no change. Then I realized I forgot to put it in a zip lock. The paper towel was still wet tho. Put it in a zip lock, will check in the morning. 10/8 We have a taproot on NY Diesel #3. Put some Azos in the drop site and sowed the seed. Half a shot glass of water to seal it in. 18/6, 67% RH, 80°f

End of week 3. Looking good. She is covered in bud sites. Some decent development so far. She hasn't stretched as much as I'd have liked but her colas look to start pretty low. Time well tell how much she will produce. Can't wait to watch her bulk up!

Absolutely amazing Gorilla Strawberry !!! If only I could transfer the smell to the photos. All Gorillas bloom beautifully with different colors and shapes, a joy to look at. I am very satisfied. I can not stop sniffing and watching my favorite dark purple phenotype. Unfortunately, bad weather is coming... It's supposed to rain all week, so we'll see how fast buds genetics will cope

Just a little defoliation this week, not much else. The main cola is getting nice and big and it’s very dense. The rest of the coals are not very big but this plant has got little buds growing all over the place. I think this plant still has a couple of weeks to go but will have to wait and see, the pistils are still pretty white. This is my first time growing so i don’t have anything to compare this small size to, might be genetics or it might be that I stunted this early on by not watering from the bottom or wrong water ph or what have you.

She grew 10cm this week. Day 42 - I cut off a few huge leaves to allow better light penetration. This is the last day of 20/4 lighting. From now on it's 12/12.

Eccoci qui... Non ho più parole per giudicare questa meraviglia!!! Strain 1 è la migliore varietà che io abbia mai coltivato, nel processo di maturazione delle cime ho visto qualcosa di assurdo in quanto questa piccola ha una maturazione totalmente diversa rispetto a tutte le altre erbe!!! Sono davvero soddisfatto, peccato che Strain 2 sia cresciuta storta, ma poco importa anche essa ha cime che sono dure come sassi, e sono solo 4 settimane di’ fioritura, NE VEDREMO DELLE BELLE!!! Grazie a @KhalifaGenetics e @xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

This is going to be a scattered Summer, as I have had enough with plants being stolen from my property 2 years running. So I am sharing Pheno's this summer with Friends and Family, throughout this local area... My seed-gathering hit a spectacular spell this winter, and there are simply not enough years left to grow all of the Treasures I have acquired. And there are some juicy specimens. For the purposes of maximizing a single diary, I am going to check in with and keep a loose running diary on these 8 selected Phenotypes. They are all going to be following a set routine, unlike any previous grows. Pre-loading the soil in the outdoors location will be the Norm, it’s something I have never done. Using specific Soil Amendments and Mulch applications will be new ground for me, as these are all proven and successful steps to take, in producing Nutrient rich Soil and a fully developed plant at harvest. People: I love talking with people here on G.D., such as those right here and many more; DeFharo, LegacyMarketFarm, Roberts, DissNoof, HighRoller909, Ferenc etc. (I know I should have your name right here too lol ) Thanks everybody for the words & assistance in the past and I'm sure you will all hear me Squealing when/if the shit hits the fan. I feel this is already on its way to be a wonderful experience this summer. Mostly this will be grown in the boonies, virgin ground on the edge of a certain Farmers Field, with the Farmers consent. And the path he has cleared for us... Just put the 30+ seeds in water a couple days ago, all the seeds in Dirt within 48 hours of each other. We'll see which ones make it and which ones get replaced... awaiting sprouts to Pop through, I wanted to get this set-up and have it waiting. Sending out Best Wishes to all the Brothers n Sisters getting ready for a Big Summer. - Mar 25th a.m., 21 of 40 have sprouted... by Noon there were 24/40 and the obvious ones with Open leaves... had their first Foliar mist at lights out. Kelp Meal is next to be added to the Foliar. Will wait for a bit more development & participants Mar 26th, Lots of activity overnite as Now, 35 of 40 seeds have broken through Mar 27th - Foliar Mist @ lites-out (a.m.) Foliar pH = 5.9 - transplanting healthy plants into 1 gal pots starting tonight as they are ready - Soil in the 1 gallon Pots will be the existing mix with the agitated addition of Azomite, Kelp Meal, “2 oz of old dried-up weed” and some diluted RapidStart - a week ago today, 33 seeds were put in water. Another 7 were added the next day… its a nice way to wrap up germination-week up. Still a few seeds in that crazy survival mode… alls good though - finishing Germination week tonight by moving this gang into 1 gal pots. - pre-soaked next soil ahead of Transplanting; 1 gal h2o pH 6.3 ~ 36 - 40gal soil - DynoMyco introduced to Bulk Soil and mixed well. Each seedling will have it sprinkled on its roots and into it’s destination pot (1st time using it)

So week 10 started and for Gorilla Cookie and Strawberry Pie this gonna be the final last 10 days I think. Started to flush the soil with 6.6 pH water and clean fruits. Gelato on day 61 still gonna need more time 2 weeks + Don't know about her Budsizes the nugs looks a bit small for me, but the smell is really amazing. Gelato 2 on day 35 starting to get in Flower. GSC also day 35 still need some time think 3-5 days And on Day 26 Cheese is going to flower too. She gonna stretch a lot I think never had such a plant like this. Updates coming 👍 Last days from Week 10 for Strawberry Pie, Gorilla Cookies and Gelato. I gonna chop Gorilla this weekend she's got the most amber on her it's about 10/90 . Should be good in 3 days + 48 H hours darkperiod. Strawberry Pie still need 1 more week I think maybe just 4-5 days don't want her to be so much amber I prefer a good headhigh also she's indica. Gelato still need more time to fatten up the buds. Maybe 10 days. Shes got a really interesting smell but the buds a bit small compared to SBP and Gorilla. But it's OK she's got the best structure and amazing symmetry. Gelato 2 and GSC are doing well And Cheese still looks a bit weird, potted her on Biobizz light mix without mixing florganics and coco. Maybe that's the point. I don't gonna use light mix next time. Allmix doing the job very good. Updates coming in week 11

The ladies are thriving and loving the Advanced Nutrients Organic Line. The smell in the tent is amazing I could literally breathe that air in all day! My CandyLand has been the biggest through all three plants lifecycles. But all three are looking strong and healthy. The lights will be transitioned into the flowering schedule throughout the week. To all my fellow greenthumbs I hope everyone has an amazing grow week. 🤙🏾

Just keeping an eye on her for the time being. Looks like she has stopped stretching and is starting to fill out again. I'm just hoping the defoliation didn't slow her down too much. Day 72 watered 3l Day 72 Test Time Lapse Day 74 watered 1.75l

in this past week I have defoliated the plants about 40% I have lost some leaves which have turned yellow I think the plants lack nitrogen due to the stretch the buds started to smell good. for nitrogen I add coffee grounds to keep away the pests and it is rich in nitrogen. the hardest part is fighting the humidity it’s been raining for a week 😭 humidity is the worst enemy I much prefer heat. see you soon
