Medium: Yep - still gonna beat on the DWC drum. It just gets better and easier every run. Almost religiously changed out the res. every week and this was definitely overkill. Could’ve easily gotten away with every 10 days to 2 weeks. Stuck with peroxide this run again instead of going with bennies via hydroguard or hygrozyme. The results speak for themselves on a 6 week veg. That’s for sure. Still save’n them dolla bills on the nutes too. Minimal nute mixing (as well as simplistic regime) and for what we’re using in each res. - gotta be easily a 50-60% savings on nute consumption vs. more traditional methods. Honestly makes one wonder why organic soil grows are seemingly all the rage. I’ve found terp. Profiles, structure, plant health and of course yields to all be just that much better in straight water. What more can I say, we love our DWC. Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️ The dueling methods were the whole point of this grow. Our best attempt to illustrate the differences between LST vs. LST/Topping ie. just how significant is the difference in terms of overall production? The truth of this test is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, topping does have a significant effect on overall yield. This fact is regardless of whether or not from seed or clone.That said and when it comes to clones, you still have to be mindful of the drawbacks of further dividing (and thus reducing nug size for) main branches. Our topped clone #2 is a perfect example of this. While the structure demonstrates significantly more branching, the nug sizes are also significantly smaller. As you’ll see in the yield details it does somewhat make up for this through a higher overall weight but it was also a much less manageable plant than #1. Root mass on the topped plant was heavier and bulkier, drinking much more water than its counterpart. And in late flower half the plant was pretty much falling over. While some of this is attributable to the extremely hollow stems (and thus a carbon deficiency), making the most of the grow light proved difficult with the topped plant as bushy as it was. Basic summary - if ur cloning for profit or efficiency, stick with straight LST and grow a whole bunch of em. If I had to do it again I don’t think i would’ve bothered with topping - just for the sake of greater ease🤔🤔🤔. Then again, I’m greedy as fuck when it comes to my yields so I Could totally see myself trying to max everything out and go for broke🤙🤙. 3/5 volume bars for the rating - we accomplished what we were trying to. Yield/Harvest🌴🌴🌴🌴 Awwwwwe yeah - down to where it counts and these girls were champs💪. While internodal spacing was longer than necessary and overall bud size was smaller than average; these plants pushed out some solid weight👍😎👍. Ran er through a 7 day dry and all jarred up on a slow cure. Final numbers: Total yield - clone #1: 5.14oz = 143.92g Total yield - clone #2: 6.01oz = 168.28g Approx. est. yield: 600g/m2 divides by 4.8, multiplied by 2 (approx. for 2/3 the cabinets sq/ft) = 250g per 0.41m2 Actual yield: 11.15oz. per 0.41m2 = 312.2g per 0.41m2. That is some seriously good production right there😎👍😎. The high end avg. for this strain is 650g/m2. When you crush that out to my space and the numbers above, it works to about 270g per 0.41m2. Our actual yield still destroys the high end avg. by almost a zip and a half👍👍👍. The cree cob does it again. Fuck’n jazz hands y’all🙌! With results like these you could really give the whole grow a 9/10. It’s only an 8 in my book because it’s not my preferred high. Otherwise, any time you’re north of 5+ oz. per plant, it’s a good day at the office👍👍. Props👊👊👊 No choice but to shoutout Humboldt genetics. These beans have treated me so well and I can’t say enough Good things about the strains this organization puts out👌👍👌. Other than that, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a look and a comment. The convos always good and of course - any questions or enlightened conversation are welcome. Every time I try to take a break from documenting a grow, I end up growing something worth documenting. If your as high as I am right now, you should still be trying to figure out that last sentence.... stay lit y’all. See ya soon on the next one👊👊👊.

Overall a great strain too grow as grows with ease and seemingly without issues even with minimal care. With care she can produce hefty buds, as kept mine small my flowers reflect but still produced great smelling powerfully buds 🌱 Cycle finished in time essentially with ease and I'd be happy too recomend this strain from fastbuds. I will update with more images and videos upon timing complete and give dry weight ect, these girls wont bring much but smell absolute treat. Atm I have tried 1 small nug but still not ready not long untill can trim up, great oils and taste just need a little cure up once finished. Tried uploading longer videos but again says error 👎 have now added few extra videos

I brought a few bottles of good wine from Italy to celebrate the good harvests with friends. This evening, we'll be opening a nice Valdobbiadene prosecco to celebrate this harvest, which is a feast for the eyes: LA KUSH CAKE by Zamnesia - We're talking about a California-caliber strain in every way, beyond the name: resin, flower firmness, and a full Kush Mint style are all present and clearly visible, giving the buds a truly Californian feel. Only Snoop is missing because he's in Italy for the Olympics. We have spectacular dark foliage at the end that literally makes my eyes go crazy with joy; I couldn't stop taking pictures, I can't stop looking at the photo and video. The plant looks a lot like the Black Diamond in that magnificent dark phenotype I found, and also like an epic Runtz pheno I recently had, all documented in the diaries. If you want, have fun looking for them. I can't help but think of and mention the legendary King's Tart by Greenhouse, which was hybridized from LA Kush Cake, and when my friend Gabriele sent it to me for the first time, telling me it was special because it was hybridized with a super Californian... I'm truly embarrassed by its beauty, like when a beautiful girl talks to me and makes me blush. And I have to tell you, it's not even the best; there are two more epic ones on the way. Maturity - The pistils have looked super ripe for a long time, especially the top ones, which are very red, and we're still over 90%. The trichomes are roughly 30% amber, 50% cloudy/milky, and 20% transparent, more or less naturally, but I think it's perfectly fine; it looks super ripe. The flowers are all of the highest quality, and the yield is average. They aren't giant, but they are firm and very firm. The overall shape of the plant is truly splendid. It was harvested correctly at the right time, naturally. Techniques chosen: As mentioned, the plant was left to grow freely and beautifully. We went 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with more gradual and reliable watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week of soil is sufficient, so don't overdo it. Choose your favorite style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop An excellent strain, excellent yields, compact buds, and excellent resin! Smells like heaven! Our L.A. Kush Cake looks fantastic, try it! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11097-zamnesia-la-kush-cake-semi.html Z - Want to take your growth to the next level? Now you can with Zamnesia's LA Kush Cake. Originally bred by Seed Junky Genetics from a Wedding Cake and a Kush Mints, this indica-dominant strain produces large quantities of resin-coated buds, rich in sweet terpenes and a relaxing effect. LA Kush Cake seeds produce stocky plants that thrive in any environment. Indoors, they require only 8-9 weeks of flowering to produce dense, trichome-rich buds with a pine-like structure and very compact calyxes. Outdoors, LA Kush Cake can be harvested in early October. Plants produce up to 600 g/m² indoors and 850 g/plant outdoors. In the right conditions, LA Kush Cake can develop intense purple hues that accentuate its allure. As you open the jars of these buds, you'll notice a wave of pungent vanilla terpenes wafting through the air, balanced by spicy notes of pepper and mint. Whether you smoke or vape, you'll be instantly intoxicated by its distinctive flavor, with a velvety, creamy aftertaste followed by a powerful yet functional high. Enjoy a relaxing effect that will melt away any tension while keeping your mind clear: perfect for unwinding, enhancing intimacy, or simply enjoying a pleasant smoke. If you need to stay focused, you can: LA Kush Cake relaxes the body while leaving the mind clear and focused, making it the ideal choice for experienced smokers seeking a dynamic and active euphoria that lasts all day. Want to try a potent, productive, and delicious strain? Don't wait: buy LA Kush Cake seeds now and start growing her premium buds at home. You know it, but I recommend it: here you'll find so many wonderful things, practically "all the best nature has to offer."

10 days of darkness during the flush begins. Had great results with Wanda and her genetics. Blessed for a first grow. Cut Wanda down at the end of the week. She’s now drying. I will be giving a thorough review for my harvest diary. Excited to share what I’ve experienced and learned from this grow.

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet. Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6. (Here are my notes of the 6th Week) 30th September 2020 ( 11cm in height ) The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds. (Notes Done) So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19) I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

#43 clones are maturing too fast I feel. Especially that a mother is ripening normally. I would guess it’s because of poor rooting. It’s the only difference. I keep runoff at around 3 max. Around week 5 the runoff ph started to drop below 6. Even towards 5.5. Both in rockwool and coco.

Lights are at 27 inch now. I moved them way back because I forgot I had a seedling in my tent and it needs a lot of distance to keep it chill(Er). I also think after a ton of reading and looking around, I had my lights way too close. I see my Candida is now starting to get deeper green leaves already instead of the bleached white/green she has. Watered with work casting tea. Em1+Epsom salt+a splash of Gaia power bloom. Fungus gnats are still hanging around but seem to have lost population. Also noted that sf2000 have a temperature of 4700k for cameras. Temperatures have been lower even though winter is ending. We aren't running our heat as much, so the ambient temperature in my room is lower. Plants still enjoy 21c weather during the day, and 19 at night. I am periodically opening the windows and hitting the room with 13/16 degree weather during the day and at night to pump these girls with some stress hormones. Lights higher now at 24ish inches.

Day 16 ( Today 17th nov): Another week passed and now we are in to the interesting patch that is new ground for me , namely rapid growth and flowering together. Being a photo-period grower , the autos are throwing new curves at me daily. seeing how quickly they change due to their genetic traits is amazing. #1 in the LOS is still a little too pale but mottled looking now instead of bleached out looking. I reckon her roots are nice and adventurous now so should be racing round that big pot grabbing goodies like sonic the hedgehog on crack. #2 has gone through a rough patch this week and her dis-coloured leaves got worse and had another set to join them !!!. I had been conditioning the coco outside in the rain before the planting so could be something in the pots from then. #3 is the star of the show so far with great growth and no signs of slowing down. I am now starting to feed at the lower end of the coco feed each watering and being careful with the amounts I use in the LOS but am more confident of not being heavy handed. They all had a life-cycle feed too , so hopefully the pots charge additive will be awake and boost them a bit for their near flowering cycle. I am hoping to top an start their training soon too so should get interesting from this point .

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Things are going okay, the weather seems to be stable now. They're only receiving about 4 hours of direct sunlight. Two of them are starting to flower while the youngest one that's a week behind is still growing. Found some surprises today on the mutated plant. Which is also the tallest one. Three pollen sacs... Out of fury I pulled them right off 😂😂 So there aren't any pictures but there's in the video you can see them. These autflowers and they went through a good amount of stress in the veg weeks. So it's normal for those pollen sacs to have come out on the one that went through the most stress and is also mutated. I'll leave her be for the moment and see how she advances during flower while I keep a close eye on her. I'm not worried about the pollen sacs because first there were only three and they haven't opened yet. Second, is more grow out and open up there's no way that pollen can reach my indoor grow, so no worries there. Third, The GSC I've got in the balcony is getting chopped in a few days. So yeah, no worries. Worst case scenario pollen sacs come back out and pollinate the other two little GGs. Or I chop her if There's too many sacs or nanners.. I don't know yet.. I'll definetly be growing this strain again with good conditions. That's it for now. Take care out there! One Love!

My Grand Turismo plant is one of the smaller ones, but it's definitely a favorite. The leaves are so short and stubby with these cool ridges that make them look really unique. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Fruit Automatic - Dinafem Segunda semana de cultivo. Tengo muchas expectativas con esta variedad de Dinafem. He visto cultivos de compañeros realmente buenos y espero llegar!!! A mediados de la segunda semana se la implementado los nutrientes que aparecen reflejados. Además, aportando quelato de hierro para estimular la clorofila de la planta y tierra de diatomeas para prevenir futuras plagas terrestres. Al igual que sus dos compañeras de viaje, crece por día y sana.
