The legendary Runtz is getting louder by the day. Every time I unzip the tent it’s like stepping into a fruit-candy store… except this one hits you in the face. It’s so sweet and intense that I keep leaning in for “just one more sniff” until my nose (and stomach) basically tap out. Candy vibes turned up to max.Bud development is going great: they’re stacking, getting denser, and putting on size. They’re also not the classic “textbook” buds, the shape is pretty unique. A few tops look a bit foxtaily, but I’m calling genetics on this one, not stress, because she’s looking happier than ever and everything’s staying nicely in range.I’m pretty sure this is her final flowering week. Under the scope the trichomes are almost all cloudy, only a few still clear, and I’m starting to spot some amber, so yeah, the countdown is officially on.That’s all for now. Tips, thoughts, and “I’d do it differently” comments are always welcome. Happy growing everyone!

2026 April 16 - Day 21 She is looking very nice and healthy. She's not quite as tall as the parent strain next to her (Bear Force One), but she makes up for it with a more well-rounded shape and brilliant shade of green. Pre-flowers started a few days ago and she's now branching and starting to stretch. While this is an F1 hybrid, I'm still amazed at how fast she's developing. It's been a while since I last grew an autoflower, and these modern strains don't waste a second getting to flower.

Week 3: Since this is my first grow, I love to see how quickly the cannabis plant grows, and it's accelerating rapidly. They are thriving and healthy. This week, I used fertilizer for the first time, starting with half the amount recommended in the feeding schedule. 0,5/ml per liter.

-Sorry I missed a week as I left town for vacation, luckily I had someone to check on them -I've been feeding once a week about 2 gallons each -I water whenever the top couple inches is dry but its been raining almost every other day so I've barely watered them -I've been using straight tap water (municipal) without dechlorinating. I was dechlorinating for 3/4 and using the 4th as a test, it showed no ill effects so I decided to not waste my time and just send it. I'ts been 2 weeks and no negative signs (touch wood) so I'll continue -I used Promix-HP as my medium, its pretty light and the girls are getting pretty tall. When I got home from my vacation I noticed they were all leaning to one side. I assumed they were leaning towards where they get the most sun so I spun them around. Doing so I noticed that they were leaning because they were top heavy and the medium wasn't dense enough to provide sufficient support. I set up the perimeter wire as you see to provide additional support and tied the stalks up with stakes. They seem pretty sturdy now. -Been getting some hot and humid days here in Ontario and they keep stretching, I'm curious as to how big they'll get before flower. -Oh and the Auto White Widow from my previous grow was planted in my flower bed and its still just vegging, hopefully it'll flower with the rest. I'm about to give her another major haircut.

14.11.2025 Was going to close the diary today but as it doesn't smell anymore I decided to close the diary this coming Tuesday, smell shifted from chemical fish ammonia to cooked fish with the additional Citric acid I sprayed in, rest in video 📸 🐟💀 FERMAKOR: The Dorade Incident – Spontaneous Batch Log (Because the fish came with guts, and I don’t waste potential) --- 🍽️ How It Started I ordered two big Dorades for dinner. Didn’t bother ticking the “cleaned” box. They arrived whole — full organs, eyes staring, one of them with a stomach packed with broken seashells (free CaCO₃ bonus). So instead of complaining, I just said: “Alright, fine. Dinner first. Hydrolysis later.” --- ⚗️ Phase 1 — The Gut Start (Day 1) Material: 160 g of fresh guts straight from the fish. KOH: 20 g (yep, strong ratio, I know). Water: ~250 mL warm. Dissolved KOH → poured over → stirred → left to liquefy. Within minutes it warmed up and foamed; by evening it was already turning into that deep brown, oil-slick mix I like. --- Phase 2 — The Rest Goes In (Day 2) After dinner, all the remaining parts go into the same container: Heads, bones, fins, skin — roughly 500–600 g. Add another 30–35 g KOH and ~0.5 L water. Stir and let it digest for a week or two or three, until smooth. The seashells stay in — they buffer the pH and slowly release Ca and trace minerals. --- ⚖️ Phase 3 — Neutralization Once the mix settles, I’ll neutralize down to pH 6.2–6.4 using phosphoric acid. Target ~40 mL of 59 % H₃PO₄ for the whole thing. Then strain through cheesecloth / pillowcase (no coffee filter — that’s only for exports 😎). --- Storage Bottled in brown flip-top German beer bottles. Label: “FERMAKOR FISH BASE – DORADE INCIDENT – 2025-11-06” Shake before use, store dark. --- 🌿 Application 10 mL per 30 L barrel mid-flower as amino + micro boost. Clean N-P-Ca + enzymes, zero smell, instant uptake.

News from the new smoking review Let's go to the flowers. As hard as Carrara marble, Michelangelo as a grower would say that everything was already predictable in the seed, he only transformed the shape, making it divine. Just like his marble blocks within which he already envisaged his magnificent works. And indeed this is a work of art of cannabis genetics that we will never tire of idolizing. As we have said several times, the mums are super, the flowers have a lot of King's Tart mum in terms of hardness and weight, they seem to weigh 30 grams but there are 64-odd flowers that are really heavy and very hard as those who know like it... The new smoking review of Growdiaries isn't bad, I'm trying to understand how they're organizing it but I don't mind at all, they'll be correcting a little bit but the site seems to have improved. From the harvest week Tarte Tatin is a superior level genetics, I'm really not joking about this thing you can see with your own eyes what wonderful flowers it makes. The plant has arrived at the end, I harvested it at the beginning of the harvest window, the pistils were very ripe while the trichomes asked me to stay a few more days, but the plant next to it has got mold on the buds and I won't risk this masterpiece not even as a joke. Don't give up even 0.1g of this beauty. I must say that the American lineage is evident a lot. Already the mother King's Tart had descendants from the legendary LA Kush Cake who was mixed with the legendary Bubba SLush Greenhouse. Here we have taken a further step towards perfection by adding a marvel from a breeder I know from the masterpieces I see published on Instagram, Compound Genetics. In truth, all the conditions were there and I would have torn my face off doing harm with these genetics. The resin is in industrial quantities, look at the photos there is a real crowd of trichomes on the flowers. The foliage is romantic, the kind that makes you fall in love with the truly blue/purple that also reverberates on the flowers. The scent is a mix of all fruits and something sweet and it makes me go crazy like an unscented pussy that walks past you and winks at you. Actually maybe a little more. Alpha male jokes aside, the stuff here is exceptional and closes the circle having used EXCLUSIVELY and deliberately Green House Feeding, as I have said several times it's a bit like eating at home with your mother or grandmother, you grow up strong and healthy and you is ready for a great future. In my lungs. Maybe I'll offer a joint on New Year's Eve at the latest, I'll take the rest. Sorry for the thousand photos I couldn't stop taking and manage to achieve something. Is a genetic goal of GHSC https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/tarte-tatin/ My favorite feeding at the moment https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ Music of the week Radio Nula from Slovenia https://radionula.com/ Music of the week Music for Plants 432 hz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EZqEvMoS3w "I can see the light" https://marshydro.eu/negozio/?lang=it

By now I also cut the second Apple strudel so just papaya cookies and banana purple punch are left now, in the meantime the other are drying slowly, the guava is ready for trimming and curing. I’m very curious about the quantity from each plant now. Happy growing!

Vamooos familia, y es que nuestras gorillas girl de sweet seeds son increíbles, tienen un grosor de 7mm en el tallo a mitades, brutal, y eso que las tenemos en 5,5litros. Ph controlado en 6,5 tenemos humedad y temperatura dentro de los parámetros, pronto empezaremos aportar overdrive ya que es una cepa la cual sacaremos el máximo partido a las flores. Me a flipado mucho el crecimiento en si de esta sativa, tienen pocas hojas y son bastante grandes en comparación al resto.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. .67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. .67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Papaya Cookies is a new addition to the wardrobe grow. She is in coco with 10% soil, in a 4 litre air-pot & she seems comfortable already. I was surprised to see roots coming out of the pot so soon — thanks to the holy trinity of root development: Mycorrhiza, Trichoderma & Rhizobacteria. Be vigilant, Growers👽

these are big beauties and were off for flowering. my god. just pure unstoppable. which brings us to the V1 story. because they're so strong, we decided to use this company as our Rambo for testing. reference the V1 diary also. now its confession time. I hated Autoflowers, i only ever grew them as freebies and my experience was always underwhelming i always thought they looked terminally ill vs a well grown photo-period.... but i can seriously vouch for 420fastbuds product. its at least 30% more solid all around v other auto flowers, i even pout a green leopard Auto flower beside it a week behind to show the difference.
