hey all, let's do an experiment with budswelling and without ! i know it will not be exact science but i will give some insight if it works or not. i have got 2 C.banana and 2Royal Gorilla on 1 plant of each sort i have done my budswelling so we can compare both strains and the effect at the end of harvest to see if it makes a difference or not. in my believe it makes a difference but i can not prove it maybe this will give an idea if it makes a difference or not. also i have put an video on how i do the budswelling with scissors or with fingers. i prefer to do it with fingers it's a lot quicker then with scissors. You need to do this on al the buds not only on top. Some say you need to do this every week but i only do it after 3or 4 weeks into flowering.

I've started this week with a heavier defoliation. Not sure it's worth it but I want to try it anyway, might as well make experience. I want to take a break from defoliation though, she's still my first plant so I really don't want to overstress or damage her. Pistils are getting bigger and I can't wait to see the bud! Watching carefully the flowers development as I've never seen that before. Hoping in some final stretch. End of the week: she stretched almost 10 cm in four days. I love this plant. I also rised the EC to 1.7. Still waiting before switching to Canna Flora nutrients. She's beautiful and bushy, I definitely need to slow down with those little frequent defoliations tho. Don't want to stunt her growth, especially now.

It was another two beautiful, sunny weeks that have now come to an end. To be on the safe side, I examined Durban Poison, Shaman and Frisian Dew more closely and found that all the ladies, with the exception of Frisia n Dew, which are in the garden, had initially developed mould in the flowers. In addition, some green caterpillars fell out of the Durban Poison when the plant was shaken. Durban Poison had also completely stopped flowering, which I found unusual. I therefore decided to harvest all the ladies, except for Frisian Dew in the garden. This Frisian Dew is only now entering its main bloom and is not yet so susceptible. Durban Poison has developed very thick and heavy colas, followed by Shaman and Frisian Dew. See the picture with the scale. I was able to weigh a part of the harvest after the raw trimming, then at the weekend the batteries of the digital scale were empty. It will take a few more days until everything is dried and stored in jars for maturing but one thing is for sure, it's quite a lot. The plants are still standing with remaining flowers to see how they will handle the coming bad weather.

03/18/2021 Flowering is starting!

Strong vegetative growth with vibrant green fan leaves and tight node spacing.

Day1: Father and child both doing well after a successful and happy birth. Day 2: The stem stretched a bit further than I would have liked so I’ve added another layer of soil to build up around the stem and I’ve moved the light a bit closer. Looks good now. Day 3: Continued to use the Force to make the seedling grow. It’s looking happy and healthy. It’s tedious work just standing there 18hrs a day. Day 4: Another good day of growing. I had R2 telling me dirty jokes to keep me distracted from the monotony of the task. Put some water around the stem just to dampen it down a bit. Day 5: Nothing to report. It’s already starting to feel like I’ve been here for a light year but Mr.Nelson said he’ll be bringing round some bud soon so that should help with the boredom. He said it’s important that I learn for myself by actually trying it, the difference between Indica and Sativa. Day 6: Dampened down soil around seedlings 🌱 Day 7: A week down and everything is looking good. Dampened down soil again today around seedling 🌱

Can’t wait to run the other seeds in the mix pack! Wish I would have grown them all for my outdoor. She’s a beautiful plant with thick sticky smelly buds.

Not much changed this week.... Trimmed the plants again, removing 70% of the large leafs so the plants can focus on the buds. Also removed all new bud growth too and a few other smaller buds. Aiming to have around 12 buds per plant, fingers crossed. Started using a boost solution along with the feed. Now feed every 2 days. Doing this so that they can dry out between watering/feeding. I’ve sorted out the humidity levels now, however still a little high when lights are off - 58%. Decided to do a 9th week of flowering, but will review this again towards the end of the 8th week. Could do with bring in an heat source for both day and night, temps are around 15 night, and 23 day.

Our Zamnesia Jet Fuel has reached 16 buds. I'm growing them a little more to make sure they don't go into flowering with small brunches but now we're there, a few days and they go into flowering. The Topping worked well the plant went a bit into over fertilization because during repeated topping the plant has much less need of nitrogen and it's magic to get there by fading the fertilizers especially with many plants. The ideal when doing topping is probably to start with a slow-release fertilized soil or just start preparing the soil for a period that is at least enough for the vegetative phase at most by adding a bit of alga grow which alone I must admit gives me some problems at least in this case if the plant grows straight much less indeed nothing. We are always using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100% organic we have only lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons given above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer card based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11258-zamnesia-seeds-jet-fuel.html Zamnesia Description // Jet Fuel (also known as G6, Jet Fuel OG, and G6 Kush) is a modern hybrid rich in THC and terpenes with a diesel aroma.

Week 2 - Purple Haze Pheno A 💜🌿 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Each phenotype is documented individually so we can follow every plant’s unique journey from germination all the way through harvest. This week we’re checking in on Purple Haze Pheno A. And honestly? She’s making it very difficult not to smile every time I walk into the room. ⸻ Week 2 Overview The entire room continues progressing beautifully as the plants establish themselves after transplant and settle into their final containers. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Lighting intensity was gradually increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s during the week. Watering schedule: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Week-ending nutrient values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire garden appears to be responding extremely well to the current environment. ⸻ Purple Haze Pheno A – A Lesson in Consistency Some plants attract attention because they’re unusual. Others stand out because they’re quirky. And then there are plants like this one. Plants that simply do everything right. From the moment this seedling emerged, Purple Haze Pheno A has been one of the most consistent plants in the entire project. Every week she arrives with the same message: “I’m healthy. I’m growing. Everything is under control.” As growers, we often spend time discussing problems, mutations, deficiencies, or unusual traits. But there is also something beautiful about a plant that simply executes perfection day after day. And that’s exactly what this phenotype is doing. ⸻ Loving the Transplant One of the biggest observations this week was how comfortably she settled into her new home. The transplant appears to have been received exceptionally well. There was no visible hesitation. No slowdown. No stress response. Instead, she immediately continued pushing forward with vigorous new growth. The leaves expanded. The structure strengthened. The overall plant simply became larger and more confident. When a transplant goes smoothly, the difference can often be seen within days. This week was a perfect example of that. ⸻ The Bird’s-Eye View Several of this week’s photographs were captured from directly above the canopy. And honestly… Those images tell the entire story. Looking down from above, this phenotype is remarkably balanced. The leaf spacing is uniform. The growth pattern is symmetrical. The center growth is developing evenly. The overall structure feels organized and intentional. Sometimes a top-down photograph reveals things that side profiles don’t show. In this case, it revealed something very simple: A beautifully built young plant. ⸻ Big Leaves, Big Potential One thing that immediately stands out with this phenotype is leaf development. For this stage of growth, the fan leaves are impressively sized. The plant is building a strong solar panel network early in life, capturing and converting light efficiently as growth accelerates. Healthy leaves are often one of the clearest indicators of overall plant health. And these leaves look fantastic. Large. Clean. Well-formed. And positioned perfectly to continue driving vigorous growth moving forward. ⸻ Color and Vigor The color this week deserves special mention. The foliage carries a rich, vibrant green tone that reflects excellent health and strong nutrient uptake. Nothing appears forced. Nothing appears excessive. The plant simply looks comfortable. The kind of healthy green that growers love seeing when opening the tent. Combined with the upright posture and vigorous growth, it creates an overall impression of a plant that is thriving rather than merely surviving. ⸻ Building a Strong Foundation At this stage, the most important work is happening beneath the soil surface. While the visible growth naturally attracts attention, the root system continues expanding throughout the container. The goal during these early weeks is simple: Build the strongest foundation possible before flowering development begins. Every healthy leaf. Every new node. Every centimeter of growth. All of it contributes to what this plant will ultimately become later in the cycle. And right now, Purple Haze Pheno A appears to be building that foundation exceptionally well. ⸻ Room Life Beyond the plant itself, this week’s photos captured some of the everyday details that help tell the story of the garden: • Whiteboard tracking and planning • Calendar documentation • Room-wide environmental views • Daily grow operations • Equipment monitoring • Nutrient management Good gardens aren’t built only through watering and feeding. They’re built through consistency. Documentation. Observation. And paying attention to details over long periods of time. The calendar and whiteboard continue playing an important role in helping keep the project organized as more and more plants progress through the adventure. ⸻ Mr. Baggy Report Mr. Baggy was once again observed conducting routine inspections. Current duties include: • Quality control • Plant supervision • Environmental monitoring • Photography assistance • Looking adorable while contributing very little actual labor His contract has been renewed for another week. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to see: • Continued canopy expansion • Larger fan leaf development • Increased stem thickness • Stronger root establishment • Accelerated vegetative growth • Further expression of phenotype-specific traits If she continues at this pace, Purple Haze Pheno A could become one of the structural standouts of the entire room. She’s already making a compelling case. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another excellent week for Purple Haze Pheno A. She loved the transplant. She continues displaying outstanding vigor. The leaf development is exceptional. The structure is beautifully balanced. And the overall health of the plant is difficult to fault. Some plants surprise us. Some plants challenge us. And some plants simply remind us what healthy growth looks like. Right now, Purple Haze Pheno A belongs firmly in that last category. Healthy. Balanced. Vigorous. Beautiful. Exactly what every grower hopes to see. A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all partners helping make this adventure possible. And as always, thank you to the community for joining me on this journey from seed to harvest. Growers Love and see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. 💜🌿✨

Organic, Die letzten 2 Wochen nur mit Wasser gegoßen

General —— Plant is doing fine. Had no issues this week and the devlopment looks solid. Stretch seems to have stopped at this point. Nute Burn is getting stronger but she will get a lot of PHed only water in Week 8 without additional Nutes besides CalMag. Nutes —— Watering 2L of Water every 3 days with CalMag and Horsetail Extract. She got Biotabs Bio PK 5-8 this week and reacted with a bit more of a burn. She'll get only PHed Water for approximately a week. Light —— Light is running at 240W and around 45cm above the plants highest top. DLI is between 40-45 Defoliation —— A couple of leaves here and there but nothing major. Week 8 will be a bit more including larf that won't form any substantial buds.

Stretch ist jetzt im vollem gange Bei der Jehova auch schon beinahe zusende Die Acid Snow ist jetzt dabei. Die Pflanzen sehen alle aus als wären sie getoppt worden. Wurde aber keine!!!!

Semna de transição para flora!no momento nao apareceu nada de pestilhos brancos!para minha felicidade estao muito grandes e vai ficar maior depois do esticamento! Espero atualizar na próxima semana ja com flores nessas lindas garotas do senhor soma!bom voygem
