I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold. After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds. Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality. ⸻ ⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight) 📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale) This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim. Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Process • Removed fan leaves only • Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact • Entire plant cut at the base • Hung upside down on a full drying line • Goal: slow drying for best flavor ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Environment • Temperature: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: Soft and indirect • Estimated drying time: 10–14 days This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for. ⸻ 💎 Bud Quality & Aroma 24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly: • Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering • Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown • Tight, medium-large bud structure • Sticky, resin-heavy trim work • Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Behavior 24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish: • No mold or late-flower issues • Responded very well to training • Thick branches, strong stretch • Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. Although she is indica, she still grows. 9 cm in 3 days. So i guess this is the reason her buds are a bit behind. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only WC drank pure water because of burns. She grow 13cm in 4 days. An indica pheno stretches like she is in preflowering stage. And this i think is happening. At start she took a lot of air and maybe she felt cold. So, now she started again to develop. I make a prediction that her buds will be really fat. She is very healthy and responses absolute perfect to the nutrient schedule.

05.04.21 Anfang der 3ten blüte Woche.Hab mich jetzt dazu entschieden das biegen und binden ein zu stellen natürlich halte ich weiter die Blätter unter dem netzt aber ich erlaube den Ladys jetzt durch das Netz auf zu steigen hab ja noch genügend Platz nach oben(hoffe ich). Das Wachstum is immer noch ziemlich stark ich denke mal das wird sich diese Woche auch nicht wirklich viel dran ändern und sie zieht vom trinken her stark an hab anfang der ersten woche 1x 4l mit Zusätzen gegossen und das hat 7 Tage gehalten bin jetzt an Tag 15 und muss alle 4 Tage 4l giessen gutes Zeichen denke ich mal..... 06.04.21 hab heute nur Blätter unters netzt gesteckt und schon von meinem nächsten Grow geträumt..... 07.04.21 wieder ein Tag vergangen und mehr als Blätter unterm Netz halten und hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen war heut auch wieder nicht los... 08.04.21 heute war mal wieder bewässern dran und das tägliche Spiel Blätter weg stecken sonnst war nix weiter..... 09.04.21 hab das gefühl das das Wachstum anfängt sich ein zu stellen und Blätter hab ich heut wieder unters netzt gebogen was das hoch drücken der Blätter betrifft sind die Ladys ziemlich stark und eigenwillig gehe 2x täglich runter drücken unters netz werde nächstes mal eine kürzere Maschen weite fürs netz nehmen dachte 10 cm ist genug platz aber 5 cm pro Kästchen sollten sicher auch reichen das macht das spiel mit dem biegen und binden sicherlich einfacher und lässt die Blätter besser an Ort und Stelle Ach ja und ein paar Blätter hab ich heute noch entfernt ist aber auch bald mal Ende mit Blätter entfernen ich will sie nicht zu stark stressen... 10.04.21 Blätter unterm netz halten knapp 2 Std einige Blätter entfernt die von unten gegen die buds drücken sonnst war nix.... 11.04.21 hab heute wieder mal nur Blätter unters netzt gedrückt und den Pflanzen beim wachsen zu geschaut die Woche lief super bin echt stolz auf mich das ich die Finger so gut von der schere lassen könnte die letzten 21 Tage hab das netzt mal fast voll bekommen obwohl ich zu geben muss das die Masse die da wächst mir angst macht vor schimmel im späteren Verlauf des grows....

End of week 2 of flower - Everything is running smoothly after installing my AC Infinity inline fan the environment has been extra easy to keep under control. The smell is getting stronger by the day and the ladies are fattening up nicely, especially my Purple Lemonade from FastBuds she doesn’t seem to be showing a lot of purple which I was really hoping for and she is also the fastest flowering plant in my grow. All the other plants were selected to have a longer flowering period. I defoliated slightly.

The start was easy as it gets just add water the first 20 days and LST every day. When i saw some of the lower leaves start to change color that's when i started to add nuits. after that it was just following the instructions foxfarm already had laid out for me. I cut back by half in the start of my feeds but by the end of my grow I was at full strength. Testing your run off is key. Cropking send me great seeds and genetics is a great foundation and starting point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was very happy I got almost 5 ounces off one plant.

Hello masters and beginners ... it was truly a fantastic discovery cultivate these splendid beans ..... they produced the fantastic weed .... sure .... they were not very fast .... but the wait will repay the Your sacrifices and your patience, trust yourself At one of the two I carried out a supercrop to the main stem bending it at the height of the underlying gems ..... his reaction was .... an explosion of trichomi! Many dipiù compared to the sister to whom he was only practiced LST .... ---------------------------------------------------------- Happy and abundant weed crops for everyone

Both shot up in size over the past week or two, ones at 113cm other now at 130cm, tallest has been bent over and tied down to hopefully stop the growth, coming along well now and can't wait for the next few weeks to pass, First ever grow only done LST on 1 plant let the other grow naturally but put a few ties on it this week to get more light exposure as it seems way behind the other and there is only actually about 2 days in them, what are peoples thoughts on how its looking? Thanks

Tessa my Triploid plant has nothing to laugh. She work hard with all the LST I have done to her. But I know that all this going into a hopefully nice Harvest at the end and the Vegi Part is the most demanding time in my grow. She become her own box with a 230 w LED that I could give her enough light if she need and enough place without her sisters. The 12/12 Lightmodus for her change and hopefully in 1 week she will start in her flower Part… we will see in her week 5.

She's hitting flower so not much more growth after the burst. Fingers crossed she gets a bit more height. No need to top her so letting her run free. Started voodoo juice two feedings ago.

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

Our White Truffle by Zamnesia is a very interesting plant, it has slightly irregular internodes, at least this one I got, there is a bit of a need to invent a different main lining than usual, but both Zamnesia and I love to take a gamble and we are sure to bring home a good result. Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and one left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed, in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same strain. In this diary we find the plant worked with Main Lining. We topped the second internode and maybe it was a bit too early, or we simply found a plant with slightly irregular internodes and now we are developing according to irregular brunches, I cut some off, I top some and send it to flower shortly. Slow down with nitrogen while doing this technique, you may not need everything that is recommended by the manufacturers, so if the leaves become too dark or worse, the tips of the leaves arch downwards and the leaf becomes "crunchy" we are at the moment to lighten or stop the basic grow fertilizer. . Comparison is the salt of experience, so the plant in the other diary will be worked very differently, go and see it to compare them. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We are feeding // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 2 ml/l Alga Grow We sprayed 3 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week. https://plagron.com/it We always have the excellent Mycorrhizae from RQS running in the soil https://www.zamnesia.io/it/5778-mix-micorrize-easy-roots.html Try this strain, it's an autumnal delicacy ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11184-zamnesia-white-truffle-semi.html Zamnesia Brief Description // The result of crossing GG and Peanut Butter Breath, White Truffle boasts a first-class lineage, taking the best of some of the best American cultivars.
