WEEK #23 — THE FINAL COUNTDOWN Spoiler: Just moments before the axe. Slush Mint Cake has lost a few stems already during the week, great evening occupation. Im still not so sure about her. The blossoms and general impression looks totally ready imo, and some leaves even turned „necrotic“/crispy. The smell is heavy and nice, with a certain, kinda insane spiciness. But there are almost no amber colored trichomes. Like really just a few scattered ones. But all things must end. Worst case the result is not perfect, i guess, and will it even get better on the other hand with a few more days? Well, i have one seed left, so i can find out next time. 😎 Reasons for that could be plenty: the switch of fertilizer last minute and connected change of ph. And again, also might be because of the tacky LED-controller: i realised touching it the wrong way just resets it (fml). And how have i found out? Because the light was switched on way later as it was supposed to be. The solution then was to re-apply the „scene“ in the App and it magically works again. Manual timer switch has been ordered already. 0 points, dear Mars Hydro (maybe it's bad luck and incompetence from my side, take it with a grain of salt). And that's — i guess — also the reason (spoiler) why i found some bananas in the Bottom half of Skywalker Haze. And i surely do not blame the genetic for that (at all). Hmpf 💩. Well, still lucky this happened right before the showdown, so it want matter all that much, i suppose. Back to Business: SMC very, very pretty. Rich and loaded all over, pictures speak for themselves i think (have a look at last entry as well, please). For Skywalker: clear visible Amber trichomes, especially on the top buds. White ones not so easy to distinguish from the clear ones (at least for me) The outer most tips of the leaves turned light, so another sign of the advanced state of the plant. I Like. Some cute pink tips as well. Similar to SMC rather small buds, but hey, if qualityquantity thats Fine for me. 🤩 Also a very pretty plant, with a more classic look, dense, a slightly more proportion of leaves. Smell? Yes its true: lemony-herby all oover, in a way also spicy Rich (lemon Pepper). In fact both plants have been harvested, for Skywalker mainly the top Part, as the bottom buds were light and soft. As i have mentioned before, probably should have removed them After Stretch, but: All buds are equal, the deserve it. Let's see what will happen. So far: Bravo Dutch Passion for both These extraordinary strains, looking forward to the final results and the effect of both. See you in about 3-4 weeks with the "harvest" posts, peace! 🙏

🙏 Big thanks to Plagron and Zamnesia for putting on the Eternity Grow Cup 2025. This kind of platform means a lot to the community. The chance to push our grows, test out new techniques, and connect with other cultivators from all over has been inspiring. Appreciate the love and effort that went into making this event happen! Hope everyone enjoyed looking over my shoulder on this grow and best of luck to all participants! REVIEW - Runtz (fem., photo.) from Zamnesia: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ The seeds from Zamnesia germinated rapidly, rooted strongly, went wild in veg, and produced an ample amount of high-quality medicinal flower. The diary speaks for itself on that front so this space will be more of a phenotype review. The plants were labelled A, B, and C from left to right respectively in photos. A and B were the 'clasicaly-appearing' sativa-esque leaves while C was the more 'indica-appearing' phenotype. Although A and B appear the same qualitatively, they did produce substantially different amounts of flower (despite their DLI being near max out for the entire tent footprint without supplementing CO2, so I do not think just being in the middle attributed to this). Past their different yields, A and B also have vastly different profiles. A is a classic gelato/ice cream cooler/Z terps, and my personal favorite of the plants (wish I had taken a clone of this one instead). B is the most on point for what I think of with Runtz, classic Z terps but with a slight tropical/rotten/sweetness to it. C had the misfortune of being ready to chop a little earlier than the other girls so her profile is mostly just spicey kush now. I did observe intersex flower sites but given the entire context of the diary and how the plants performed, I have to assume it was user error. No pollination observed in any of the flowers, as zero additional intersex sites occurred. The distinction between A, B and C is what I would expect from a typical F1 cannabis seed. I do not enjoy growing from seed much but these girls were manageable. Add to that the relative stability of the genetics for a Runtz recreation, and well, these are good quality beans for a great price. Not only is Zamnesia responsive and available, their confidence speaks volumes. How many vendors would have an in-house Runtz, knowing how much of a genetic-gravity-well it is in, and be confident enough to let ~200 randos grow it and show it? REVIEW - Green Sensation from Plagron: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ I enjoyed using the green sensation, the NPK values on it make it versatile in application and a power-house in flower. I can't say I noticed anything better or dramatically improved, although comparing to Heavy 16 and asking for a marked improvement is big ask in my opinion. What I was able to do was seamlessly integrate the Green Sensation into my current routine. The additive stayed homogenous, was easily introduced into solutions with no adverse impact to the water contents or pH. Most importantly, the plants enjoyed the additive and it did accomplish the main goal of being able to wane off your primary line. In this respect, by using Green Sensation I was able to save resources by lowering my Heavy 16 inputs across the board approximately 50% and supplementing with Plagron's Green Sensation.

She is looking abit jealousy you can tell she didn’t have time but she bouncing back to life now ive cleaned her and some defoliation and lets see how she will perform so far so good thou

well, that day dawned :) growing in a suitcase was really difficult, temperature, humidity, plant growth, everything was very difficult to control, but I managed something, it was an extremely interesting experience :) 119 gr wet, I think it will be between 25-30 gr dry , which I think is really good from the suitcase :) it was something different than usual, and now I'm going to grow another begina, which is much bigger than this one :) good luck to everyone, and thank you.:)

Nutes at 1/2 strength..picked some supplements to aid in taste/flowering so excited to see how she finishes! 😋😋

Entramos en la 9 semana y seguimos con heladas en el exterior , las mínimas con luces apagadas son de 15º y las máximas con luces encendidas

She appears to be doin good. She was 2 weeks later in flowering, so she still got time. I'm guessing another 2 weeks 👍 She is not gaining anymore...

01/09/2022 Finally time to flower, and all girls went into flower room at lights out.The males will be next week, don't want to put them in to early so I will carefully check every day and separate before they open their flowers. I'm guessing week 3-4 I Will select two branches on each female to selectively pollinate. 01/11/2022 Blue Matter #5 (update #5 culled male) repotted with lemon og seed Will continue in her own evolving diary. My hope is to eventually graft different cuts for a multiple variety mom plant, I can have 6 total plants And would be nice to be able to maintain only one mom.

16/4/26. day 57 from germ,beginning week 9.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. We are flushing and this plant will be cut down and harvested in about 4 days. I started flushing about 4 days ago to let the plant eat up it's extra food that's left in the soil. I've seen a few spots of WPM on some leaves... So I'll harvest soon rather than fight it. This plant has an interesting smell. Can't wait to taste it. Good sized buds too. OK, Be Great. Chuck.

Entering week 2 of flower! She did A LOT of growing and changing in the first week and I was able to get her canopy laid out nicely in the 4X4! This week is a continuation of that. Slowing tying down branches as not to stress her out. She came down with some broad mites last week ( I can only assume despite all precautions, I brought them home from work, as we had a problem with them in our veg room a couple weeks back) Steady, heavy Nuke Em applications is showing improvement! 3/28 Update: We seem to have won against the bugs! I will continue preventative sprays for a week or so just to be sure they are gone, but I think we are in the clear. I believe I have successfully managed her canopy as well. We are two weeks into the stretch and she has plenty of room to go up now (which was my main concern with her)! I actually brought her down from 43in in the last week of veg to 40 inches this morning through dropping a net and slowly tying and spreading branches! 😁

pics from 20th and 22nd October 26th for lemon It's the second year ever for me, and I talked to some people because I still get 8g per plant, and it's because of the mainlining and toppings I do at wrong times, and also because an outdoor plant doesn't always get the perfect sunlight and energy to repair itself enough. so the stress might be it. next year I'll try bending the main stem and never doing topping

The bonsai creation is in the very end..... Actually ready but i want more amber trichomes to get more body high than mind one.... Nice little creation... waiting for to be cut I expect to be done in 1 week but trichomes speak.

Hallo zusammen 🤙 Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

10.04. D40 End of Vegetative Phase The plants have clearly entered a strong growth phase over the past few days, with a noticeable increase in leaf mass and overall vigor. The Autopot system is now running consistently and supporting steady development. Root establishment seems complete, and the plants are responding well. Performed a light defoliation to improve airflow and maintain a clean structure within the canopy. Overall, the plants are healthy, stable, and well-shaped going into the next phase. Flip to 12/12 is scheduled for tomorrow.

Hello everyone 🤩 she grew fast and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves! She has responded superbly to low stress training and topping & i defoliated her aswell and seems didn't even notice 😎 For the nutrient half grow half bloom and power buds 1ml/L Mars Hydro FCE-6500 70% Wish you all a good day and happy growing
