What I thought to be a cal deficiency at first glance appears to be rust fungus or leaf septoria, but nothing rubs off of the spots, which confuses me. I freaked out and tore the hell out of the plant my buddy left on my doorstep, stripped all the freakin spotted leaves. I'm hesitant to toss it, dont know why, I did notice spots on 2 other plants, barely, bastard being one of them. Ill be keeping a great hawk eye on them, ready to pluck anything I notice with a rust spot or toss that one plant out of there if I see too much appear. I need to grab some neem oil as well. Maybe I shouldn't run the tent sealed anymore, as I think it could be a big reason for the fungus. I never let humidity get over 60 and I had pretty decent air movement, but they are squeezed in there. I'm freaking scared. Nothing rubs off these spots. My run off PH has been low which makes me think calcium still. Guess I'll do some big-time flushing. Flushed all with 6.8 water until run off reached 6.5, roughly 10-12 gallons each. I'll l feed them tomorrow. Usually, I flush around day 45. I was trying to see if i could get away without doing so, with that scrog n all. Whew, I was trippin out there there, after reading n shit I got thinking the worst, should've stuck with my original diagnosis. I'm sure they'll be ok.👍 Zipper broke off the tent the other night, so it's now "sealed" with a red blanket🤣

watered with nutrient-free rainwater, pH 6.4, a moisture absorption level of 56%, water was sprayed without ppm lights off temperature the night is around 23 ° to 24 ° I will take with water and nutrients from the soil itself with a little light down, to make the plant smaller, which was not getting much light, although 86 watts for each of them are beautiful and healthy, by photos it is visible how cold they are

This is Future #1 by Canuk seeds. Obviously i could not get from the original source so i used a middleman. Rockwool cubes never done me dirty yet. The nutrient line I'm using is not listed. I'm sure I'll mention it a few times throughout the diary. Read on and maybe you'll find out.

Everyone is healthy. I have bought a humidifier to push the humidity to the max (95%) for 10 hours and 3 days per week. I want to alter the humidity to let some light go through, otherwise.it's too steamy and I think that the plants can't catch the light nor CO2. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts on this in the comment section. During Week 1: The seed grew very rapidly. by up to 5 - 6 cm. 2 leafs started growing. During Week 2: each had 4 leafs and one durga Mata has already started to grow its second floor.

She stretched on me last time. But I was too heavy with the light right away. Gave her light burn. I raised the light and turned it down to 25%. I think she’ll be fine. I’m excited to see how she’s going to do in a 5 gallon!!

Dear friends, Please consider this week as Harvest, I divide the two plants below the explanation. We have arrived at the time of harvest for our two Runtz I divide them respectively in the last two weeks to help you distinguish them and because having shot a lot I would like you to look carefully at what we are talking about and please deepen the vision of the trichomes that characterize each plant. They seem similar but you can notice differences and in the macros also look at other details such as the surface of the leaves, really very beautiful. The plants are not giants by definition, this is a very stable strain with not very high heights, the yield is always medium high but the strong point is certainly the quality of the flower: density, hardness and above all scary resin combined with a super romantic purple shade arrived with the cold in the final. Beautiful plant, beautiful main cola. Mature very red pistils resin overflowing for real. The purple color is really super beautiful I prepare a nice video where I show it to you. The trichomes are multicolored due to the presence of purple, here too we have stuff from pink to fuchsia to dark purple plus the classic colors, the maturation is at a point that I don't mind at all. In weight we will be around 30 - 40 grams but of excellent quality, let's wait for the dry sla and see. Perfect strain compliments to Zamnesia breeder. Most likely nowadays those who give the impression of doing Cannabis Industry manage to provide a product of extreme quality much more than the small breeders who are all stealing strains from California and crossing them with their little experiments. It is no longer the era of the flower children although we have to thank them for the anarchic work they did in the 60s and 70s now it's time to work well, cannabis is spreading all over the world and you can compete with the Americans only by working well, like they do in Zamnesia. How can I prove it to you? In the years in which I was a tester the breeders made me try a lot of good stuff but often, very often, too often I found hermaphrodites. Now always bringing up good luck, touching wood, where the sun don't shine, doing all the appropriate spells of the case we are at ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. No seeds, no balls, nothing at all and after all the years that I have heard the "expert freaks" of breeding talk now I feel like recommending the seeds of the industries much more than the small houses. I thank all the good operators of small houses and I apologize to them but I will never grow their stuff again there is an exaggerated percentage of hermaphrodites. The industries whether you like it or not guarantee success rates much much better. Especially for the wave of beginners arriving. Zamnesia Strain Description // Guys, we have really reached a turning point! Our breeders have recreated one of the most sought-after strains by Californians: the very powerful and exquisitely delicious Runtz.

Alright guys, welcome back — week 7 of veg with the Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Humboldt. This week feels like a big win compared to the last one. The adjustments I made finally paid off. Cutting off the extractor really helped bring humidity back up, and that gave the plant the push it needed to get back into an optimal growth rhythm. I also realized that adding an extra light before was too much — way too much PPFD. So now I’ve gone back to a more balanced setup with a 54W COB at 5000K. The environment feels much more stable, uniform, and the plant clearly loves it. Nutrients are still straight Athena — Grow A, Grow B, CalMag, and Cleanse. EC is holding around 1.4. One thing I’ve noticed is a slight drift between what’s in the reservoir and what ends up in the saucer. That’s why I keep the res around pH 5.5–5.6. Once it drains through to the pot, it tends to rise, landing closer to 5.8 or even 6.0. It’s a bit tricky to manage, but the idea is to aim lower in the res so that the root zone ends up right where it should be. So, the main challenge for the upcoming week is to keep that pH steady in the sweet spot — ideally buffered around 5.8 to 6.0. If I can lock that in, the plant should keep pushing strong. For now, everything looks good. I’m happy with the comeback this week — definitely a victory. Let’s see how it evolves next week. Catch you then!

Day one of the 12th week, cutting off the nutrients I feel like it is time to flush. And what I did wrong in the beginning of this grow, was that I placed the plants too far away from the light the first 4 weeks of veg or so. My thought was too make the plants stretch taller in the beginning, but disregarding the par, the ppfd I realized too late that the branches did not get what they needed for length. These plants could have been much larger just for growers information.
