Decided to harvest since i found some rotten buds and the plant wasn't gonna get better than that since it was under attack and I rather harvest a week earlier than losing a lot of my crop (last year I tossed it all because of powdery mildew)

Dark purple buds and frozen cola Finish in 67 days She needs normal light and feeding

Plant has shown slow but healthy growth since its arrival, LST continues and I've managed to keep the plant at the same height it was last week but now at a horizontal angle. I did up the nutes for one feed to a slightly under recommended dose but in the days following I noticed the plant looking a little 'droopy' and since she has been with me she hasnt been drinking very well so I opted to flush her for a feed, since then she has seemed very happy :) whilst drinking much better (possible nute lock was imminent). Now back down to half doseages with the exception of CalMg (to help after flush) but will be increasing them in the following days. As of next week I will be transferring her and another plant my partner is nurturing into single bucket DWC set ups. Fingers crossed I will see some hearty results for making the crossover to hydro.

15/10/25 - All watered 2L each 5ml per L Dr organics microben. Im happy these girls can take some abuse because right now im struggling with medical problems. Never needed medicine more than ever and knowing I dont need to eat cheap processed food for the month so I can afford my medication feels amazing. My medical cannabis bill is in the thousands each month and I'd have to skip times I could do with medication just incase next time I neeed it more and as anything medical you only have the supply you have. 🙏 1710/25 - Watered 2L each. They are really some pretty flowers. Love livingsoil its the way forward for me 100% 🙏

Strain: Chill Out OG F4 Day 35 Flower Day: 84 from sprout Medium: Fox Farm Ocean Forest Light: Vivosun VS2000 at 75% VPD: 1.5 kPa Light Distance: 12 inches Watering: By hand, ~oz daily Nutrients: pH Perfect Advanced Nutrition Grow, Bloom, Micro 2 ml / L, 1 ml / L big bud Pistols and terps looking great

Es ist wieder eine Woche vergangen und alle Pflanzen funktionieren sehr gut mit dem Dope Soil in Kombination mit Autopot. Einzig die Papayana will sich noch nicht so richtig strecken, kommt hoffentlich noch. Entspannter könnte es nicht gehen, Osmosewasser mit Calmag in den Behälter, fertig. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich entlauben und anschließend prophylaktisch Raubmilben und Nematoden rein. Edit: Entlauben erledigt, Raubmilben prophylaktisch auch drin. Bilder zeigen vorher und nachher.

quite plan 🤐🤗

Diese Woche auch alles ohne Probleme

Week 10 pics and vids.

8/8 may chop and clean all equipment and tent. 8/10 she looks A little better. i still can't tell if it's pm or something else on the update. spider mites. ending this grow

Another problem free week. This strain is impressive. She's grown unbelievabley quick and she's starting to give off a lovely aroma. The next few weeks is where she's going to fill out.. just maybe... I might get this harvested for Christmas 🤣👌🏼🙌🏼💯

1st week of flower....the girls are looking great and are all confirmed females yayyy...I will definitely a little and let the ladies be happy this gon be some good quality medicine

# Chem Brulee by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🌱🔥🍮 ## Germination Week | The First Chapter Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new journey. As mentioned in the previous diaries, I've recently adjusted the way I document my grows. Due to the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than grouping multiple plants together in a single journal. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development in as much detail as possible while selecting the best photographs from each week. The objective remains exactly the same as always: To create a complete educational record from seed to harvest, sharing observations, lessons learned, successes, mistakes, and everything in between. Today, we begin following Chem Brulee Pheno A. --- ## Every Seed Carries a Story One of the things I love most about growing is that every run starts the same way. A tiny seed. A hidden genetic blueprint. And an entire journey waiting to unfold. For this run, we're following Chem Brulee from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll do my best to explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. Every phenotype is unique. Every plant teaches something. And every run helps us become better growers. --- ## Germination Using the Cannakan System To begin this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For those unfamiliar with it, the Cannakan is a compartmentalized germination container that allows multiple cultivars to be organized separately while maintaining a stable environment. Each section can be individually labeled, making it extremely practical when working with several genetics simultaneously. The seeds were placed inside using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. Within approximately 24 hours healthy taproots had already emerged, and the seeds were ready for the next stage. Fast. Simple. Clean. Exactly what we hope to see during germination. --- ## Why Only Water? A question that often appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seedlings immediately?" The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything required for its first days of life. Nature packed all the energy reserves necessary for the plant to establish itself and begin developing roots. At this stage, I personally prefer allowing the seed to do exactly what it was designed to do. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. --- ## First Experience With Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were fully saturated with water and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability. The germinated seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome remained useful for only a short period. In less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were ready to continue their journey. At that point, they were transplanted directly into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions were intentionally kept simple. Temperatures remained around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. While many growers prefer keeping seedlings inside a dome for longer periods, I personally like introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience during growth. The idea is adaptation rather than dependence. Airflow remains extremely gentle at this stage. Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress for young seedlings. --- ## Heat Mat Temperatures The propagation mat was running around 40°C. Although this number may initially appear high, the heat source itself must operate above the desired root-zone temperature in order to compensate for environmental losses and maintain stable conditions where the roots are actually developing. The goal is not to expose the seedlings directly to excessive heat. The goal is to create a warm, stable rooting environment that encourages fast and healthy germination. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination is intentionally soft. Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels yet. The goal is healthy establishment rather than aggressive growth. Once properly settled, these girls will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the real adventure begins. We'll begin discussing PPFD and light intensity in more detail during the coming weeks as the plants become capable of utilizing stronger light levels effectively. --- ## First Observations So far, everything is progressing exactly as hoped. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Good vigor. Healthy color. And perhaps most importantly: A strong beginning. At this stage, every plant remains a mystery waiting to reveal itself. And honestly, that mystery is part of what makes growing so rewarding. No matter how many seeds we start, each one still carries the potential to surprise us. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the next weeks we will begin following Chem Brulee Pheno A through the first stages of development. We'll explore: - Root establishment - Early structure - Environmental management - Watering strategies - Light intensity - Growth observations - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype decides to reveal Because every grow starts with a seed, but no two journeys are ever exactly the same. This is only the first chapter. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another new adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

⭐ TrolMaster tracking ⭐ I started to track my crop during week 15, when I got the Tent-X TCS-1 by TrolMaster. First impression was: this is too professional for me, I can't handle setting it up and using it well. Then I started reading some posts on Instagram, I visited their site and in 5 minutes my cultivation experience took a huge step forward with disarming simplicity, I couldn't believe it. I have uploaded tracking videos from the TrolMaster app for each week from the 15th to the 19th, as well as the two weeks of drying stage. ⭐ Controller Chronicles ⭐ Day after day I appreciated the clarity and precision for data, access to all settings and instant readings by connecting a WIFI router to the controller's LAN port. I loved the possibility to dim my lamps remotely, or even automatically based on the temperature in the box! 🌱 GERMINATION (2 days) Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riots and under the lamp. They sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed. 🌿 GROWING STAGE (10 weeks and half) I decided to give these plants a long vegetative growth and this allowed me to do a lot of training on both. Starting from the 4th veg week I started with defoliation sessions every two weeks, for a total of four during the entire vegetative phase. The last defoliation was done a couple of days before the switch, in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible. Furthermore I did Topping on week 6, cutting the apical branch, then on week 8 I did Topping again on several sites, as well as SuperCropping on the highest branches to make the canopy uniform. The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two veg weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then. During the veg stage I made 4 DWC change, PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1.4 on the last veg week. 🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (9 weeks) I started this phase after 36 hours of darkness, I then changed the DWCs solution (adding a flowering stimulator). Then I mounted the ScrOG-net about 50 cm from the base of the plants and I wove the phenotype #1 through the net occupying at least 60% of the available space; the phenotype #2 stretched shortly after the switch and I used the net only to widen the central branches. They showed the pre-flowers two weeks after the switch, then I made two defoliations on week 3 and 5 flo. During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 6-9) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values ​​under control and this also thanks to the Tent-X controller by TrolMaster which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above. I chopped them when trichomes were about 85% milky and 15% amber. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.8 and 6.2, about EC I started with 2 and was 2.3 on the last week before flush. ✅ HARVEST - From dry seed to harvest: 140 days (2 days germination + 75 days veg + 63 days flo). - Chopped after 4 days flush and 48 hours in dark; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. ✅ DRYING STAGE - Time: 14 days; - Average: 20° C - 50% RH. - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT - Phenotype #1: 230 gr buds + 25 gr larf; - Phenotype #2: 105 gr buds + 50 gr larf. So, the overall dry weight is: 335 gr buds + 75 gr larf. ✅ CURING STAGE - Curing is done after 30 days with Boveda 62%.

Week 10: July 31st Weekly updates: - Stretch is taking off, same with bud formation, no smell really yet, did a good lollipop today, keep finding larf sites. - when stretch halts I am adding 1/3rd dose of monster bloom to one… maybe both.

11days now in flower got some love per-flower pistols These are having a nice little stretch and still few days then their burst into bloom a show their true beauty

Thursday, August 13, 2020 12:45pm: Watered: 1.25C PH 6.9 Friday, August 14, 2020 9:40pm: Main-lined: Topped at the 3rd node. removed everything below 3rd node. Saturday, August 15, 2020 1:20pm: Watered: 1.25C PH 6.1

Well most of them are sick,, some have lost or never had many pistils. It starts to smell a bit now. I still don't know how to deal with collective flushing and harvesting early rippen flowers. Found out the roots were badly burnt,(no slime or foam): 3 of them lost the roots beneath the pot, Jah only knows the state the roots are in. Hoping they won't die before harvest...

Week 9 of flowering 11/13/24 The lady is at her final phase, Giving her only water. Buds packing some nice weight, Leaves color change is very noticeable, pink leaves showing more and more. Chop day sooner than later. :)
