The Apes are flowering, and the difference between the plants is enormous. The one in the middle is the only one that truly took off, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up producing as much as the rest of them combined. Putting them directly into the ground probably wasn’t the mistake. The real problem was that I only planted them with the six litres of soil from their original pots. I should have brought plenty of additional soil to give the roots a much better environment to expand into. I’ve since added guano as a top dressing and continue watering with plenty of molasses, but at this stage, the smaller plants are not going to catch up.

Basically I'm taking this as new hobby. I don't smoke but since I was 16 that I wanted to embrace a grow project. 18 years later, decided to get my hands to the work, bearing in mind that it should be as simple as possible. Ordered 3 easy bud seeds, germinated all 3, only 2 survived on the soil, mostly because of my technique. For me, it's all about learning so I did some experiences. 3 different soils, 3 different planting techniques and this is the result so far. The one that died, was due muddy soil, so she drown. No oxygen. Started this project with a simple indoor greenhouse, 160x40x60cm size, 2 daylight lamps 11 watts, 6300 kelvin and roughly 700 lumen each, 1 usb cooling fan. Distance from the lamps to the seeds +20 centimetres, which you can see on day 3, we had a lot of stretching (video). Nevertheless, started to see some life!!! Decided to take the project more seriously. We are now on the day 4, with a new setup. Adequate soil, carefully buried both plants in bigger vases and new lights. 4 cfl lamps, 1297 lumen, 97 watts and 6300 kelvin. I was about to buy the cfl pure light lamp 125 watts but found these cfl's at leroy merlin. I wanted to keep this low budget/experimental project as much as possible, therefore after doing some calculations I found that with these 4 lamps I would roughly get the same lumens and watts I would get with the pure light lamp. Happy Growing.

Die Blueberry ist noch einmal um 20 cm in die Höhe geschossen. Die Selbstbewässerung ist großartig und kann ich nur jedem empfehlen. Das Substrat ist immer gleichmäßig feucht, selbst direkt unter der Mulchschicht. Es gab diese Woche den Booster von Green House Feeding (0,4 g auf 1 l Wasser) direkt in den Untersetzer. Als der 1 l getrunken war, wurde wieder mit circa 3,5 l Wasser nach gefüllt. Das Wasser ist natürlich PH angepasst auf 6,2. Ich werde diese art der Bewässerung garantiert bei jedem nachfolgGrow anwenden. Ganz langsam entwickelst sie ihren Duft. Und so wie es aussieht und wenn nichts schiefgeht, müsste es eine schöne Ernte geben. 💚💚💚

Hello. This is the end of week 8. I've found some white powdery mildew... so I'm going to harvest tomorrow. I'd rather harvest than try to fight the WPM for another week. It's getting down to 15* c in the greenhouse overnight now, even with the heat on. I'm liking the plant #3 so I'm going to try to reveg it. I'll spray it for bugs and bring it into the workshop with some heat on the roots... it should reveg. Back in a couple of weeks with the harvest report. I've shown the last 2 pages from the underground comic Weirdo #10. I'll start some other underground comic next diaries. I went to the grow shop yesterday and saw the free mag. "Absolute Underground" who had a tribute to Ozzy. So I included some pics of that. Hope you enjoy. OK. Have Fun. Chuck

Zdar Bando. 7 týden květu za mnou. Paldy bobtnání hezký dál. Na bong snad bude. Holky mi dělají radost jen sem musel likvidovat další 3 květy, snad to dopadlo dobře a nebude nic oprcaný. Začínají vonět dost štiplavě je to taková zvláštní vůně těžko to popsat. 😁 Vypadá to že se dostanu až na 10 týden. Už se těším jaký to bude, pěstu zdar.🤘

Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Hmm these 4AM are a strange bunch lol. I seemed to have been wrong about 4AM#3 getting better in last week's update, after reviewing the pictures. After realizing this I decided to continue feeding the plants till the end albeit only Calmg and Boost(micro). I decided to give 4AM#3 a 125% dose of Calmg on Day 66. I was worried about root rot because even though she was a bigger plant she drank noticeably less water than the rest. I actually forgot to mention I have had a few fungus gnats during the grow starting at around day 35. I always let the plants completely dry out even until some leaves were really drooping from thirst, so I though I had them under control. I never noticed more than 1 or 2 at a time, which is also why I thought I had it out of control. Maybe they have something to do with 4AM#3's state, but I doubt it. Anyway, 4AM#1 and #2 are doing well. #1 has fully ripened with almost 95% cloudy trichomes, and some amber. #2 on the other hand could still use 7-10 days extra, but regretfully I cannot harvest then... #3 is at about the same stage as #2. Day 67-70: Sadly I noticed too late, but that extra strong dose of Calmg seemed to confirm my suspisions... 4AM#3 had a heavy calmg deficiency... It really is noticeably improving this time! Leaves are regaining some slight saturation! And she drank her water very quickly this time! So bummed about having to harvest this weekend... Day 73... Oh well next time I will be able to harvest more freely and at different times for each plant if needed. She still has a good bit of cloudy trichomes on her calyxes though, around 40-60%, and very very few ambers, but her sugar leaves are already full of them. As for 4AM#1, looking great! gona be the smallest buds but definately the most dank! 4#2's massive buds are still having trouble staying upright, but looking forward to those for sure! RED ALERT: Shiiiit... So as I was watering 4AM#3 on day 69, I noticed, what I'm pretty sure is, BUD ROT! Damn, I'll have a picture as part of this update. I had very bad experience with bud rot last fall(planted my autos too late in the summer, lost over half my plants and had to harvest early), but that was with 10C temps and 80%+ RH. I have FOUR fucking fans in this damn tent, and it's always over 20C! But I'll be honest, I knew if it was going to happen, it would be THAT part of the plant positioned closest to that oscillating fan I have on the peace of wood... The bud closest to it(in the corner) is in it's blind spot, doesn't get direct breeze on it. And that's the bud, and the ONLY bud that seems to have been affected. Strangely though, this bud rot feels different to the touch than the one I had last summer. Very dry, and like I said, very isolated to that ONE little part. I cut it out and have the rest of the bud drying as a tester in my room. And my entire room STINKS. I seemed to have been wrong about that last week also; The 4AM smells so much stronger than the White Cracks. See you after the Harvest!! ;) It's been awesome and a fun learning experience!

Vigorous Males, Strong Clones, and Bud Formation This week was full of action in the grow! Two out of the three males are in full bloom, and I’m actively collecting pollen. They are impressive plants, with strong structures and large pollen sacs. If everything stays on track, I believe the females will be ready for pollination in about a week. Observations: All 18 clones have successfully rooted! Some have already entered the vegetative stage and are receiving supplemental light at nightfall to keep their growth steady. The plants responded very well to the light defoliation I did earlier. Now, the buds are starting to take shape, showing great progress in the flowering phase. To optimize this stage, I spaced out the pots, ensuring better airflow and increased light penetration, which should support full and healthy flowering. This week, I plan to top off the pots with more substrate, ensuring the plants have enough space and nutrients to reach their full potential. Next Steps: Keep monitoring the males and collecting pollen at the right time. Watch the females closely to determine the ideal moment for planned pollinations. Observe the clones' growth and adjust care as needed. The grow is on the right track, and expectations for the coming days are high!

12/5 - Feeding begins! I call this my official day 1 of veg. The Critical +2.0 must think this is a race. Made up 1.5 liter of nutrient water for all plants. 12/6 - Babies getting RO today (6.4ph). The Dosido is giving me a hard time, I've got one good one. 12/7 - I've lost 3 seedlings leaving me with 23 plants to work with. Mostly all plants have their 4 little leaves grown out. Made up 1.5 liter of nutrients for feeding, used about half bottle. (6.0ph) 12/8 - Used remainder of nutrient water and topped all pots with RO (6.3ph) to maintain soil moisture. 12/9 - Made up 1.5 liter of nutrients (6.1ph), half in am and last half in pm with RO to maintain moisture. 12/10 - 12/11 - Looking good.

4/7 10:30PM All Photo's are looking great, using soft water so salts build up faster, have to water them in the bathtub for lots of runoff now 4/8 what are all the plants in tent 5 Montel is doing really good in the 1 gallon smells the strongest of all of them the two Mike Tyson plants the photos are doing great. The corkscrew auto that turned out not to be an auto that ended up revenging and now it’s flowering again it has a really nice strong main stock and it will probably produce a nice Maine cola. I got lucky with that one and bubbles blueberry is doing pretty good considering I didn’t grow her right I was incapacitated for a couple of months so she overgrow. I usually do four colors, but I kept her in veg for several months and I think I’m gonna take several of the trailer Park boys plants and possibly ice tea body count and revenge them 4/9 4:455AM "revenge them"😂 To maintain my overdramatic ways...and the phone didnt hear me right, any time I RE_VEG a plant its now REVENGING THE PLANT...... PERFECT....ON EARTH ...200 YEARS AGO I WAS A PRINCE WITH POWER OVER MIDGETS AND FANTASY ISLAND.... my scattered old memories... Star Trek Wrath of Khan / Fantasy Island grow is next!!!..OR if I have the money a CHiPs grow, a Knight Rider grow, 6 million dollar man grow...back when that was a lot of money to throw a way on some downed pilot...what waste of time..... Oh LOOOK what I found Larry Wilcox from ChiPs https://larrywilcox.net/shop/ 4/9 7:22AM ICE T smoking right now. Smell so nice and sweet just great. Took the bottom branches, dried over night and just fine!! 4/11 4:55AM.💫 BLUEBERRY KO (BLUEBERRY KNOCK-OUT) --- ""That’s awesome—congrats on successfully making your own seeds👨‍🔬 and getting them to pop! Turning a stressed **Bubbles Blueberry F4** (the Brothers Grimm/Trailer Park Boys collab with that classic sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and fruity terps) into a pollen donor and hitting a **Gelato 44** (the RQS x Tyson 2.0 “Mike Tyson” version, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC) is a fun little home breeding project. You only got five seeds, planted several, and they’re already showing **distinct phenotypes** that don’t even look like siblings. That’s not surprising at all—it’s actually super common and part of what makes seed-grown cannabis exciting (and “miraculous,” as you put it). ### Why the variation is so noticeable - The **Gelato 44** mother is an **indica-dominant hybrid** (roughly 75% indica / 25% sativa) with its own built-in phenotypic range. Gelato lines are famous for expressing differently even from the same batch—some lean more purple, some greener, some more compact, some stretchier, with varying creamy/fruity/earthy notes. - Your pollen came from a single stressed **Blueberry F4** plant. Blueberry genetics (especially DJ Short-inspired lines like Bubbles Blueberry) carry strong fruity/berry traits, but F4s still have some genetic diversity. Stress (light, temp, etc.) can sometimes influence pollen quality or expression, but the main driver here is the wide gene pool from crossing two poly-hybrid parents. - 👨‍🔬💡These are true **F1 hybrids** from two different lines. F1s often show **hybrid vigor** (faster growth, resilience), but they also segregate traits a lot—some offspring pull more from the Blueberry side (broader leaves, berry aromas, possibly purple hues, compact structure), others lean toward the Gelato 44 (denser buds, minty/cookie/berry dessert flavors, more indica-dominant body). A few might be nice intermediates. That’s why they “don’t even look like they’re from the same plant.” It’s like siblings in a family—same parents, but wildly different looks, heights, smells, and effects. With only a handful of seeds, you’re basically running a mini phenotype hunt, which is exactly how breeders discover keepers. ### What to expect as they grow out - **Vegetative stage**: Watch for differences in leaf shape (Blueberry influence might give broader, darker leaves; Gelato can be more serrated or colorful), internodal spacing, and vigor. Some may be bushier, others stretch more. - **Flowering**: Look for aroma differences early—sweet blueberry jam/cream from the dad mixing with Gelato’s creamy vanilla, fruity cheesecake, citrus, or subtle mint/earth. Colors can range from deep greens to purples depending on temps and genetics. - **Effects**: Likely a balanced-to-indica lean (relaxing body with some euphoric head), but potency and flavor will vary plant to plant. THC around 18–24% is common in these parents, so the offspring should be solid for personal use. - All sound healthy and “good” from what you said—that’s the win. Since you have so few, treat them like gold: take clones from the most promising ones early if you can (especially any standouts in structure, smell, or growth). That way you can keep the best phenotypes going without relying on the seeds again."
