Day 2. All the girls are coming along nicely one has a little heat damage to the main cola so redirected the airflow. almost all fan leaves are naturally falling off Cool little slide show of there life cycle. https://lightmv.com/v/mqatait] Link to Slide Show Day 4. So so so close to harvest I tried to check the trichomes but the scope got covered in THC 😂 and the iPhone 12 Camera sucks so can't get a picture of them

D8. We're at the start of the second week, and there isn't much to report. The girls are slowly getting taller and wider. The leaves of both plants show interveinal chlorosis, and the first one also has a tiny bit of a burn and twisted leaves. I suspect that is due to the girls growing right into the topdressing, and I'm hoping that it will correct itself as the girls get bigger with more substantial root systems. I prepared some foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent for my other tent, so I also gave these girls a very light foliar spray. I might as well when I have extra :) ------------------------------ D9. The chlorosis is decreasing, but we have squatters in the tent! I've started germinating this year's chilis: Fidalgo Roxa, Jalapeño Early, Serrano, and Mushroom Yellow. I'll keep them in the tent as long as possible since it saves me some electricity. ------------------------------ D11. The second girl had a later and slower start, so she is lagging. Let's see if she catches up eventually. Soil is slowly losing moisture but still far from needing a watering. DLI set to 16. ------------------------------ D14. The end of the second week. By now, there's a clear size difference between the two girls, with the first being significantly larger. On the other hand, she also has twisted leaves, which the second girl doesn't have. One leaf is even a bit burnt. I tested the soil today, and it clocked in at a neutral pH of 7, so I doubt it is a pH issue. Instead, I suspect it is due to the topsoil being too "hot" with the top dressing I put on before the grow. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait with the top dressing until the plants had established themselves. Oh, well. We grow and learn. I still haven't given the girls any more water, so the fungus gnats get to enjoy life a while longer. Although, they haven't really become much of an issue. Still, the buggers have gotta go, and I'll water in SF nematodes to deal with them in a few days. I raised DLI to 20 yesterday. ------------------------------

Excited and impatient, starting to come on really well now, everything is going ok as it has been all the way through other than a little struggle with keeping the heat down in the grow tent during the first few weeks in veg, bigger tent and all is ok now, small signs of nutrient burn of a feed this week but don't think anything to be worried about from other diaries i have seen. What do you think its going like so far? Any comments with feedback on how its looking or tips for me coming into my final weeks appreciated thanks,, Plant A is at 121cm tall Plant B is at 143cm tall

Hey growers! First, I harvested the foxtailing one, its drying now and will be used for making butter or oil. The rest of the plants will get one more week of clean water and, in 4 days, Im turning of the light. They will get 48h of darkness and then I will cut them down. Cant wait, it smells amazing, full of crystals and sticky as f***. Cheers!

I still found a few places with bud rot and I keep removing every spot I see. The plants have been doing fine beside that, they are looking and smelling great, they are super dense and I can't wait for them to be ready. Most trichomes are still clear so I am awaiting for the first ambers to show up, aiming for around 5% amber and 95% milky.

Beginning of week 2! Flowering is progressing nicely. All plants have been sexed. Ended up being 11:11 female:male. Can't complain Already got some stud males picked out from the hash plants and the Zed blacks. Rainbow belts f3 had one male and 2 female. The females appear to have two smells but identical looking growth. Tall and thin leaves. Little stretch. The male is short and stocky. No stretch at all. I have stopped feeding since I saw slight nitrogen toxicity in several plants. I've marked that they are more sensitive which is something I view positively in a no till living soil situation as long as the flowers can back them up. To control my water pH I am using 12% humic acid and highly fermented kombucha that is practically vinegar. Not great for the overall microbe population in the kombucha but good for lowering a 9+pH solution that comes out of my tap. I am pitching recharge in about .5tsp/gal as well. Plants are looking good. I have noticed that the Zed black is growing better under lower humidities. I have my lights off during the day in order to reduce the humidity load on my plants. At night when humidity spikes I'll rely on the LED light to burn off a lot of the humid air. However if I had watered recently, which is becoming every other day at this point, the humidity with remain high for awhile. I have now added a dehumidifier. It's been helping a lot and ZB is doing better. Update 1.5 week Flowers are stacking. Mostly in the males lol. But the female bracts are starting to swell. Now onto the stem rubs HP: WOW. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I cannot tell if I hate this with a deep passion or I'm just wanting to grow it out for morbid curiosity. Smells like nail polish remover plus sulfur. I would feel bad giving this to someone because it smells so bad. Had a few that smell more like a freshly opened can of tennis balls that I dig. ZB: very strong pinene smells. Earthy and spicy. Little bit of citrus. Nothing out of the ordinary. Grown many hash plants and this a quintessential example Rainbow belts 3.0: I got a zkittles pheno with classic flavor. Fruit. But with a slight rotten citrus undertone that gives it a little character. Another one is pure pine sol. 100% pine sol. I do honestly love this flavor. Will be using both for seed making. The male is lemon lime candy. Will be pollen source.

It's been 47 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

The stretching was going all throughout Week 4 and into Week 5. One plant has reached 32" tall from where it sprouted and the other has reached 28" tall. Both plants are starting to show trichomes, the taller one more so. Feeding has been every other watering which I've found to be every 3-4 days. I'll be out of town starting on 02/03/2024 and coming back on 02/16/2024 and have asked my friend to stop in and water/feed when the plants need it. If everything goes well, I'm going to be excited to see how these girls have progressed in the 2 weeks I am gone.

The last plant harvested in early August is a White Truffle by Zamnesia. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per strain, one worked with specific techniques and the other left to grow freely; this was mainlined. In this case, three with a clone too. Look into diaries to find out. Description // This plant was simply left to grow freely and trimmed. The flowers plumped up very well, but it was my fault, and my fault alone, that I was forced to change locations and was unable to install air conditioning, which will always be present in future grows and used when necessary. The plant is very good; it could have finished the flower formation better and resin production could have been a bit more, although given the temperatures we finished at, it's actually good. Trichomes and maturation // This time we needed to harvest due to a change of location, and we harvested a bit quickly, with the pistils at about 70-80%. For trichomes, look at the other plant, the mainlined one. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron organic fertilizer range, all the recommended additives and Pro Mix soil, both unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Try this strain, it is one of the best in recent years, with a very high THC level Try this strain, it's an autumnal crazy delight ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/11184-zamnesia-white-truffle-seeds.html Zamnesia Brief Description // The product of crossing GG with Peanut Butter Breath, White Truffle boasts a first-class genetic line, taking the best from some of the best American cultivars. And as you'd expect, it has a lot to offer: a high THC content, an irresistible flavor and a relaxing, carefree effect. Oh, and let's not forget that it's incredibly easy to grow too! Buy your seeds today and enjoy easy harvests of delicious, US-grown bud. And as you'd expect, it has a lot to offer: a high THC content, an irresistible flavor and a relaxing, carefree effect. The new strains are amazing and the old ones are no exception... -- // www.zamnesia.com

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either. 6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather. 6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual. 6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals. 6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot. 6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm 6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

---B62--- Silver has 7-10 days, I could fill the entire area with one plant 😁 Thats really good genetic i love her . All Branches tie up,down,near :)) and there are so confused but its okey last days.. Buds are so fat and heavy and looks fine , i take intense precautions against mold. My cabin is little cold for that. 20-24 degrees ---B69--- She still drinks too much fertilizer, I can't lower the EC value it still 2.2

In diesere Woche gibt es nicht viel zu erzählen.....was nicht optimal läuft ist, dass ich wegen der RLF in der Dunkelphase den Luftbefeuchter aus dem Zelt genommen habe und diesen durch ein Entfeuchter ausgetauscht habe. Ich bekomme wegen Platzmangel im Zelt nur 1 Gerät aufgestellt, für mehr ist kein Platz. Das hat zur Folge das meine RLF in der Tagphase auf 34 % sinkt. Hier hätte ich gerne 45 % , bekomme es aber nicht hin🙁. Die Fütterung läuft gut, keine Über oder Unterdüngung. Temperatur fast perfekt.... in dieser Woche kein Flush, keine Entlaubung oder ähnliches....die aktive Zuluft war die ganze Woche an! Aktuell habe ich ein ganz gutes Gefühl! Immerhin sind es noch bestimmt 30 Tage bis zum Harvest Day Peace
