🌱 Week 4 Veg: Thriving Despite the Chill 🌟 As we close out Week 4 of veg, I couldn’t be more impressed with how resilient and strong the Zamnesia Runtz are growing! Despite the freezing cold temperatures outside—evident in some snapshots of my frosty mint plants in the veggie garden—these beauties are thriving in their cozy indoor setup. The Aptus Holland Nutrient Spray: A Deep Dive This week, I treated the Runtz to a refreshing shower with Aptus Holland’s nutrient spray, a game-changer in plant health and vigor. Let’s break it down: • What Is It? Aptus nutrient sprays are foliar feeds designed to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves. They provide immediate uptake, bypassing the roots and giving the plant a quick boost in vitality. • Why Use It? Foliar feeding is especially beneficial during veg because it enhances nutrient absorption and promotes lush, healthy foliage. It’s also a fantastic way to supplement nutrients if the roots are growing but not yet absorbing nutrients at peak efficiency. • What Does It Do? Aptus sprays improve plant metabolism, strengthen cellular structure, and boost resistance to environmental stresses—perfect for battling those colder temps! • How I Applied It I used a fine mist to ensure even coverage across all leaves, aiming for the undersides where stomata are most active. Afterward, the plants looked vibrant and energized, ready to keep pushing those gorgeous leaves. A New Partnership: Grove Bags and TerpLoc Technology I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with Grove Bags! Known for their TerpLoc technology, these bags are a true revolution in cannabis storage and curing. • Why Grove Bags? Grove Bags are designed to create the perfect microclimate for cannabis. Their TerpLoc technology helps preserve terpenes—the essential oils responsible for the flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis—by locking them in while allowing oxygen and moisture to escape. • How They Work TerpLoc bags combine several unique layers: • Moisture Control: Maintains ideal humidity levels to prevent over-drying or mold. • Oxygen Barrier: Blocks excessive oxygen exposure, which can degrade terpenes. • UV Protection: Shields the buds from harmful light that can alter their chemical composition. • Why This Matters For anyone who’s spent months cultivating a crop, ensuring the harvest cures and stores properly is the final crucial step. Grove Bags will play an essential role in preserving the quality and flavor of this Runtz grow, keeping the terps intact for that unforgettable smoke experience. A big thank you to Grove Bags for joining this journey. I can’t wait to showcase their role in the final stages of this grow! Photo Magic: Nikon P900 & Sony A6000 Capturing the Runtz in all their glory is part of the journey, and this week’s shots were nothing short of stunning. Using both the Nikon P900 and Sony A6000 allowed for crisp, detailed photos that highlight the beauty of these young plants. From their vibrant green tones to the intricate structure of their leaves, these images tell the story of strength and potential. Week 4 Veg: What It Means Week 4 in veg is a critical time in a grower’s journey. By now, the plants have developed a strong root system and are focusing on building structure. This is when: • Leaf Development Peaks: Bigger leaves mean more photosynthesis and energy production. • Growth Accelerates: Plants use this time to set the foundation for flowering, with nodes spacing out and stems thickening. • Preparation for Transplanting: Root systems are expanding, making it the perfect time to plan for a move into larger pots, as we’ll be doing next week! Looking Ahead Next week, the Runtz will graduate to larger pots—not their final AutoPot homes yet, but an essential step for continued growth. This transition will help the roots spread further, setting the stage for a thriving flowering phase. Community & Gratitude A huge thank you, as always, to my sponsors and supporters: • Aptus Holland • Pro-Mix Soil • TrolMaster Ecosystem • ThinkGrow LED • Future of Grow LED • CannaKan Germination Station • Zamnesia and Plagron for making this Eternity Cup journey so special • Ziggi Papers • And now, our newest partner: Grove Bags To the amazing Grow Diaries community, you continue to inspire me daily. I’ve been blown away by the incredible work and creativity I’ve seen in other diaries—it’s motivating and humbling all at once. Good luck to everyone; let’s make this journey one to remember! 💚 Final Thoughts From the frosty outdoors to the warmth of my grow room, these Runtz are proving their resilience and promise. Each week, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this strain, and the excitement for what’s to come keeps growing. Stay tuned for Week 5, where we’ll delve into the transplant process, nutrient updates, and more. Let’s keep learning, growing, and sharing the magic together!

They completed lfirst week of Flower. Decreasing Humidity gradually to increase VPD to 1.5. Heady OG turned out to be a male one so removed it :( But, the ladies seem to enjoy life and they keep stretching every day. They have doubled in size just in one week Humidity is fluctuating between 52-58%. Temp is 22-26 Celsius. VPD is relatively constant around 1.30 except for very rainy days where my dehumidifier gets info play. PPFD is around 900 uMol.

new home 18/6

Week 5 and the plants love the balcony. I will be buying some things to protect from wind tunnels on my balcony as the plant gets taller. These plants i have to be quite vigilant with lst because i cant let them get to big. The stems are thick and leaves are nice and lush.

A slow start to the week after her defoliation but picked up at the end of the week and she is forming nice 'budlettes'. LST is keeping anything getting too tall and stealing the lime light. Will be introducing PK next week when I do water change.

The 7th week started. Based on the Breeder's description it is supposed to be the final week for The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so it should be ready to harvest. It is my first grow but I can say it needs a minimum of 2 weeks to be ready. I think 10 weeks at least. I have checked another diary with the same strain and it took 10-12 weeks to be finished. I placed the Purple Punch 38 hours Darkness so from now I will give 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule to start flowering. They are in the same tent so I take out in the morning to be in darkness, and put back at night. I did reset the timers. Water: 125 ml 2x daily each plant so altogether 250ml a day for 2 plants. I raise up every week with 50 ml a week per plant. Fertilization the same amount of water the same acacia honey around 2 big spoons and bat guano 1 teaspoon per 1-liter water and I fertilize it 3 times a week every second day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, plus one-half day like on Saturday once. So from today (Thursday), I started forcing the feminized strain Purple Punch to flower also after 45 days from germination. This week not too much things to say. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe stopped growing just added an extra 5 cm to its height. Hopefully it focuses on the bigger buds creation. Purple Punch grew an extra 2 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 37 cm, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm.

This one is the runt of the group, but she is still kicking. Started getting some yellowing on the lower leaves on all the plants. I increased the maxibloom a little today so hoping that makes them a little happier. I also changed the setup where the plants dont sit on top of the reservoir. This will make it easier to adjust the nutes if needed. I also hooked up a valve to adjust the water flow because I had a couple overflows last week. These cups are just packed full of roots. This "little" grow has become a lot of work. Chugging along though....

420 Fastbuds Week 2 Veg FBT2307 The three of these are starting off great. The few rust spots stopped and stayed on the couple leafs it showed up on. I feed 500ml of solution every other day. I did start the General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series as well as the Calimagic. On week one I started 1/4tsp per gal ratio every other feed, so far no burn so will probably bump it up this coming week and see how they respond. All in all Happy Growing.

Had major struggles with humidity due to cold front, but got it in somewhat better ranges. My planet of the grapes started wilted/ drooping mid week [other strains were fine]. Did some research and it turned out they needed more water.[ I normally water every other day, feed every second feed and I top dressed before flipping].I fed them, got the humidity back in acceptable ranges. I also gave them some tea [molasses, banana peels, Gaia green bloom,all purpose and worm castings] They seem to be happier. Very eager to defoliate at end of this week been taking few leaves here and there but nothing crazy. Decided to build a suspended 2ply scrog net seems to be working great. Thanks for viewing, appreciate any advice or comments. Happy growing everyone 🌴

Day 47, she's a little late in flowering game but that could mean good things lol idk Funny she I said ahead of all the other plants :) 1 gal is purple but so small, DONT USE ANYTHING LESS THAN A 2 gal for autos! Seriously, lol even I feel you want to experiment; use a photo not an auto lol learn from me :) (though I love my baby plants lol) Okay she isn't getting into the 3rd week soon of flowering and Shen has now turned purple haha was getting worried. But she did veg for 5 weeks, and she's wasn't topped or FIM so just took a while lol Christmas video is up and I couldn't be happier with the results; I've been dreaming of winning a contest like this forever and i finally have the chance :)

5th week of veg: I'm happy with the current structure and spread of tops. I had to pull the light even higher she is growing tall already, can't wait to see how tall she gets once in flower. Speaking from flowering, I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 during the next days. So next weeks dairy entry will be the first in flowering.

11/13 Started Super Cropping on Amy, Gina, and Rosa, Judy is just at her 4th node, so i reached the second node and twisted the stalk until I could feel the fiber break and then I bent the stalk in the direction that I will ultimately tie down in, not long enough yet to get to the edge of the pot. In an hour I checked on the girls and they were all back to normal. 11/14 Watered 500 mil 6.5 PH tied down Amy, Gina and Rosa, broke a leaf off of Amy while bending 11/15 Spritz with Yucca foliar spray reapplied LST girls are looking great really healthy and green 11/16 Reapplied LST and accidentally broke the main stem on Gina, decided to go ahead and top her since the break was at a node and impossible to tape, so I guess we are also testing topping as well as going Organic. Adjusted lights to 25 inches above Judy the shortest girl. Brewed up an Organic Tea using 1 Cup Nature's Living Soil Concentrate, 1 Cup EB Stone Earth Worm Casings, 1 Tablespoon Unsulphered Molasses, 1 Tablespoon Fish Meal with Kelp, let the tea brew for 18 hours. 11/17 Fed each girl 1 Liter of Compost Tea reapplied LST the thought is the plants are three weeks in the soil and are growing at a healthy pace (with the exception of Judy), I want to make sure they have enough food in the soil available to them now to take them to flower. Next week I will apply dry amendments and 2-8-8 fertilizer to be available that first week of flower. 11/18 Out of town so gave them a light spritz of Yucca before lights on and that's it. 11/19 Man one day without reapplying LST and it freaking shows!! I had to go to town and really work the stems back into shape, really started to figure out what I am actually trying to achieve with spreading the stems out to expose as many sites as possible and trying to get as even a canopy as possible. So at the end of it I had to Super Crop a few stems on Rosa that had grown a little too long, tied down the rest of her stems and tucked the large leaves as best as I could to get as many sites as possible exposed. Applied the same approach to Gina but since she was inadvertently topped little easier to do, also I can see since I fed them the Compost Tea Gina has bounced back from her chop and her leaves are upright and pointing to the light, the two new "main stems" are growing outward and are close to the Mesa that i am creating. Judy is the weird little runt with tight, tight nodes like she's hiding something.....Trudy Judy.....So I just bent her main down and moved the stems as best as I can, I would love to let her just do her thing but I also wanted to try ScrOG on this run but we'll see after next week. Amy, Amy, Amy my pouty princess I don't think she likes being shorter than Rosa because she's become almost shy, not as aggressive growth that she was showing before. Reapplied LST on her main and tucked leaves, also started defoliating some of the lower leaves off of her. I'm going to start plucking lower leaves off of all of the plants going forward to prepare them for the switch to flower. The girls are all showing their sex and I can safely say that they are all Ladies, I'm seeing pistils forming and sites starting to show. I soaked the ladies down with 1/4 tsp Nectar of the Gods Bloom Khaos and 16 oz PH 6.2 bottle. Checked back on them 3 hours later and all of their faces are pointing to the lights, the leaves look amazingly green with no noticeable deficiencies. The Ladybugs are going to town and I don't know what I'm more excited about the amazing growth of the girls or seeing a ladybug crawling on a leaf!

WEEK 6 -TIME TO DECIDE THE KEEPER PHENO ⭐️NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK⭐️ Front Row Ag Part A 2.8g per gallon Front Row Ag Part B 1.9g per gallon Front Row Ag Phoszyme.4g per gallon Front Row Ag Bloom 2.2g per gallon Front Row Ag CleanUp .2g per gallon End of week I will try to defoliate as much as possible one last time going into last 3 weeks. It has been a good run thus far. I’m contemplating just leaving them alone and not defoliating, but it’s what I’ve always done with great success. I was asked earlier in the week if I always keep my ph this low(5.5-5.6)? The short answer is yes. I’ve always done this and have never had a ph problem or nutrient lockout. If I tested the runoff solution, most people would freak out. Maybe I’ll do it in next weeks video…I bet it’s triple my input solution!!! I’ve trained these plants since seedling to take high nutrients and it’s paid off. Super Lemon Haze is a 9 week strain but I would bet they will go a full 10 weeks. I’m gonna push the last few weeks and put on the weight. I am shooting for 3 pounds per light. We will see. Thanks again for all the comments and questions. See you next week.

Произашла проблема , иза карантина небыла вазможнасти следить за кустом :( PH поднялся на 9.3 сам куст успел спасти а вот корни не получилась сохранить прешло ампутировать и терять кшё 7 дней , FloraKleen спасло цветок . Девочка спит после замены раствора

So far these plants have shown nothing but resilience and a will to grow I have put quite a bit of effort in but I’m sure I’m lacking in one or two spots but you would never be able to tell by the Look at the plants they seem quite happy and they are relatively patient with a new grower lol

Brutal genetic! Just like that BRUTAL. Tons of resin, super strong woody pimey smell, very beautiful strain to grow, beautiful indica leafs, I know that this is one of those indicas that once you smoke that dense smoke you won't be able to get up from the couch, very strong genetic, I'm so fortunate to have this lady in my garden man! Definitely want to grow her again next season and make a big nice bush.peace!✌️🙏❤️🌱👨‍🌾

She grew well this week. Another 11cm. Day 42 - I trimmed off about 6 large fan leaves to give lower bud sites some light. This is her last week of 20/4 veg.

Week 10 for GMO auto by atlasseed Both the indoor & outdoor auto (outdoor was mostly indoor expect last 2/3 weeks i think?) Anyway they are both drying, my wife & I had a tester smoke of the outdoor plant & both had uncontrollable laughing fits.. genuine laugher it was a refreshing high yet my face hurt after😂 The indoor smaller plant definitely crushed it in the looks department way chunkier, the way the outdoor one finished in 42+ sun probably has a lot to do with the looks deference. Will update on smoke report etc when everything is dried. Lets find out if she's getting growth again or not😇.

Over all was an amazing grow, super sticky dense nugs with smell of berries, highly recommended for everyone!!
