Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, since I almost killed everything in there 😂 The Z&Z is a well balanced 60% - 40% Indica - Sativa dominan strain with a short flowering period. I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant. This is on of the strain that did notice more my mistake, can be clearly seen on the final product. Iinfact, a good part of the flowers, went for bubble hash. I topped them, and then practiced LST training to help them growing wider. Probably If I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have had a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Really looking forward to grow this strain again Indoor, I'am amazed by the terpene profile and the amount of resin they've produced, even under my multiple attempt to screw em!! STRONG GENETIC! I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

I'm very happy with this weeks progress. They transitioned very well to the garden, which I'm chocking up to the row cover. They didn't need any water due to the thunderstorm we had last night, but I did make a ring around the base of each plant and gave them about 1-2 TBSP of the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend fertilizer. They also got their tomato cages.

The plant grows. I have now added an oxygen pump to the water tank. Let's see what effect that has. You can see the progress every day. I've also bought some phosphoric acid to keep the PH down (hopefully). My water tank is very large, about 75 litres. I also have a few holes in the lid, so a lot of rainwater gets into the tank through this and also through the openings in the pots. Never had to top up the water yet lol. At the end of the fourth week I'm happy with the growth, especially as it's my first plant. -------------------------- Die Pflanze wächst. Ich habe mittlerweile einen Sauerstoffpumpe in den Wassertank gegeben. Mal sehen wie sich das auswirkt. Man sieht den Fortschritt jeden Tag. Ich habe außerdem Phosphorsäure gekauft, um den PH-Wert endllich stabil unten zu halten (hoffentlich). Mein Wassertank ist sehr groß, ca. 75 Liter. Außerdem habe ich ein paar Löcher im Deckel, so dass dadurch und auch durch die Öffnungen in den Töpfen viel Regenwasser in den Tank gelangt. Musste noch nie Wasser nachfüllen lol. Am Ende von der vierten Woche bin ich zufrieden mit dem Wachstum, vor allem da es meine erste Pflanze ist.

So grow started with lots of trouble.heat ..bugs .. temperature swings and at the end cold rainy weather.how ever I'm impressed by the bounce back.. heard lots of bad story's over this breeder and the automatics I had where in deed very disappointing. So this mighty Amstel freezeland 2.0.. Liked the growth and loved to see it working.next year I try to grow them somewhere in nature.think they are strong enough.

Day 57 : AK was fed 2L with just Sensi Bloom A&B @ 2ml/l and Carboload @ 1ml/l . I backed off the Overdrive as i don't think it is time yet. The buds are still really forming and i don't want to burn this one as bad as cheese is showing. Day 58 : I found out that i've probably been feeding too much cal-mag. I spoke with AN and they told me that their Sensi products have enough cal-mag that i didn't need to be adding it. I've started seeing tip burns only in the past few weeks. I think adding the Carboload and Overdrive may have pushed it over the top with the extra cal-mag going in each feed. Lesson learned. Cheese is on water from this point on. I figure she'll be ready in the next 9-10 days. Need to start checking the trichomes as soon as my pocket microscope arrives in the next few days. Man am I ever glad I didn't kill AK off because it was taking too long to flower. That plant is going to be a monster. It has so many side branches and bud sites. And it's starting to put off some kind of funk. Giddy up ! Day 59 : Pocket microscope came in today. Can't wait to check the trichs later on. Cheese is really starting to smell more and more. 8 more days until she gets chopped. AK is fattening up nicely. She'll finish in 11-12 weeks for sure. AK was fed 2L this evening and is fattening up more and more each day. Cheese is getting close. Day 60 : Cheese got 2L of water, had a good look at the trichomes and this plant is pretty much ready to go. I should have started the flush earlier but i didn't have the microscope yet. Checked various parts of the plant and I am seeing mostly cloudy with a small amount of amber trichomes. I'm going to let it go 4 more days to try and give it at least 10 days of flush. Day 61 : Fed AK 2L, brought the base nutes down to 1.8ml/L and started Overdrive. I'm seeing some brown pistils starting to show up. Buds are filling out nicely each day. Cheese is getting frostier every day now. Only a few while pistils left per bud, many of them starting to curl inward. Not seeing any yellowing yet. Been almost a week of just water. 4 more days and she's coming down ! Day 62 : Fed cheese 2L water this morning. That plant is looking really incredible. So much frost ! 3 more days until chop chop Day 63 : Fed AK 2L, buds are filling out quite nicely. Some of the pistils are turning brown. Buds are not as fat as they are on cheese, however this AK seems to be a sativa phenotype so the smaller buds are expected. We'll see what the Overdrive does. Cheese is 2 days away from chop chop ! So much frost. This concludes week 9 !

I used half the recommended dose of Indo products for each plant through this grow. The monkey juice is half recommended making it every week rather than full dose every two. The sticky bandit was fed with it every week at half dose till later on.

Como estáis familia? Yo flipando y es que todo lo que provenga de cheese me encanta, farm cheese del banco genofarm, repleta de polen,parece los Pirineos en pleno enero cuando nieva. Es una cepa increíble el problema que le veo es su olor penetrante, apesta enserio es muy fuerte su olor, seguimos alimentándola con advanced nutrients quitamos todos los adictivos menos overdrive y la base sigue dando caña y si no mirar su color. Todo este proyecto e de agradecerlo a mars hydro que sin ellos no es posible este proyecto, enserio este led es bomba. Ph controlado , humedad por debajo de 50% temperatura entorno a 27 algo alta pero no hay problema alguno. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo de mars hydro de nuevo, agrobeta que aunque no participen los productos en el diario si van hacerlo en un futuro, y gracias a vosotros que sin grow diaries y sin todos vosotros usuarios , tampoco es posible, así que gracias, muy buenos humos 💨💨💨.

What a week this was!! All sorts of curve balls... Correcting the overfeed... temp and humidity issues... a couple nanners...throw in a power outage today... It seems like I'm going to check all the "don't do" boxes before the end of the grow... haha!! Well, the plants are definitely telling me they are finishing up! The buds are tightening up and the fan leaves are shrinking in size... I definitely stunted these 2 plants with all I've put them through... I'm hoping they will still reward my efforts!! It's certainly not from lack of effort... I'll be watching the buds really closely from here on out... for amber trichomes and more potential nanners... Cheers to hopefully and successfully crossing the finish line!! Also, only a couple videos... not much for visually "exciting action" with fattening buds... only the hope for the harvest to come!

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

Defoliated and fully leaf stripped. I am going all out to see what happens. Wedding gelato is a fairly tall plant for my tent and future grows will have to be properly trained and tied down. Live and learn. So far happy with the results from hydro grow. Roots have worked their way into the res so I have added an air bubbler to the submerged roots.

Right now I'm flushing with my homemade substance, it pushes pretty much clean, planning to harvest next week. Before harvesting I will let these girls sleep for 48 hours, hoping that a purple color will appear. Currently night temperatures are around 19 to 15 degrees.
