Hello!
First and foremost.. thanks for stopping by!
After many years and dreams of growing I'm finally giving it a go. I will update this "diary" every Sunday with the previous weeks progress. All feedback is welcome as long as it's done in a constructive manner. Please keep in mind this is my first grow and will be learning and making adjustments as I go. I am growing in tent indoors in the Midwest.
STRAINS:
7 Super Skunk
1 Tahoe OG
Possible HiFi 4g & Slurricane clone
EQUIPMENT:
5x5 Vivosun grow tent
1 ViparSpectra P2000 LED (additional LED will be added in 2 weeks.. next payday 🤪)
AC Infinty 6 inch Carbon Filter
AC infinity cloudline T6 fan
3 gallon smart pots
Two 11 inch honeywell "desktop" fans
Vivosun Seedling heat mat
Seed Sarting station
InkBird humidity Controller
8 socket surge protector with built in timer
Ducting
Metal grating
Rope hangers
Zip ties
Solo Cup
Fine mist spray bottle
SOIL/NUTRIENTS
Fox Farms Light Warrior seedling starter soil
Roots Organic Original Soil
Distilled water (room temp with Avg PH 6.3)
Coconut water 50ml/gallon
Roots Organic dry fertilizer lineup
January 11th - ordered 20 Super Skunk feminized seeds from ILGM.com. the order process and payment was easy and intuitive. Was updated by email every step of the way. I did not pay the extra $25 for the ability to track my package, however ILGM did email me once product was shipped as well as when product was out for delivery.
January 25th- Seeds delivered. Pkg was discreet. I would have like to see some type of pkg that took into account the cold weather, however I was home to pick up pkg so it wouldn't sit out in cold.
January 26th- today is the day I attempt my first germination. I decided to germinate 6 seeds using the direct in soil method. Soil I am using for germination is Fox Farms Light Warrior. Watered with distilled water that was at room temperature with an avg PH of 6.2. Germinating in a seed starter tray using a seed heat mat.
January 27th - Watered as needed
January 28th- First seed sprouted. Germaninated an additional 6 feminized super skunk seeds using same method as above. Watered as needed.
Recieved two tahoe OG seedlings from a friend. They are roughly a week ahead of mine. Both seedlings have a little yellowing on leaves. Both seedlings were transplanted into FF light warrior soil. Watered as needed. Placed in tent under ViparSpectra P2000 LED at 25% power 30 inches above. Tent at 71° F 65% Humidity at 18/6 light cycle.
January 29th- two additional seeds sprouted. One seed from first batch pushed itself out from soil and tap root was exposed. Gently placed back in soil. (No change since) Second seed sprouted was from second batch germinated. Watered as needed using coconut water at 50ml/gallon.
January 30th- Two additional seeds sprouted. Both are from second batch. Watered as needed. Added 10inch fan into grow tent set on low.
January 31st- These two as well as sprout from yesterday were transplanted into Solo cups with FF light Warrior soil and moved into tent with same parameters as above except LED was moved to 40% power. Watered as needed.
Feb 1st - started germanting 3 more SS seeds. Dug up the 4 seeds that had not germinated and trying a second time. No water for other seedlings today.
Feb 2nd- no water
Feb 3rd- 1 seedling emerged from the soil!! Watered with coconut water 💧
End of the week thoughts:
I believe I watered both the seeds and the sprouts way too much. Backing off water until soil is dry.
In the future I would like to try germinating in water and paper towel. I like this idea as I know whether or not the tap root pops... currently I'm left wondering 😔
Questions:
At what point are the plants in VEG? Is it as soon as they sprout?
Any idea why some leaves on the Tahoe OG are yellow?
Some new sprouts are also more like green than others.. thoughts?
18/6 or 24 for veg.. thoughts?

She is expanding and drinking more and more water. The smell is getting stronger as well.
At the end of next week she gets a lollipopping which is good because I cant reach the soil anymore without making some leaves wet.

Black Runtz is a crazy beauty, a black isolated phenotype of the very famous Zamnesia Runtz, in the last week you will find the white phenotype with a green apple flavor but going back a week you will find the black one honestly more beautiful to look at even if this is no joke at all, especially for resin.
**Remember that for all varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. This is the plant worked with a topping, the harvest of the other is precisely in the next week.
Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow up to the 4th internode and we cut, then repeated toppings until we reached 16 growing branches. After the second week of flowering we eliminated the branches that would not have seen too much light to strengthen the others.
Better with the techniques or normal ones? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance this time I prefer the plant left to grow straight but I know that it can be done very well with a main lining.
Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 15. The plant has resined very well on all sides the resin is really abundant and above average. The buds have been washed as recommended by Zamnesia.
Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme
Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going to flush was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to flush and we are very very well discolored, I predict a very tasty flower, grown organic and flushed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic.
All Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green/100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil according to your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com -
Brother if you are stubborn use additives listen every now and then.... and then come and tell me.
The fertilizers instead can be found in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website.
This variety is already a legend in the normal version, imagine in the Black version... try it!
---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html
Zamnesia Description // Black Runtz descends from a truly legendary genetic heritage. Our breeders have used three modern classics from the United States to create this variety: Zkittlez, Gelato and Runtz. With 20% THC and flavors of grapes and berries, Zkittlez has transmitted its delicious flavors and relaxing effects. Gelato contributed to Black Runtz's immense flavor profile by imparting high concentrations of the terpenes limonene and humulene. Finally, Black Runtz inherited the high potency of the original Runtz, a strain with a respectable 21% THC. The end result of this 3-way cross is a strain with 55% indica genetics and 45% sativa. Black Runtz boasts a fast flowering time, very high potency, and contrasting yet balanced terpenes that support its delicious flavor profile.
Music and Frequencies // For about 4-6 hours a day my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies specially created for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibes that only music can give. www.radionula.com

It’s week 5 of flowering, and things are looking fantastic!
The adjusted nutrients for the coco substrate have clearly made a difference, as both plants are thriving and continue to develop thick layers of trichomes. ✨
Interestingly, the non-LST plant is starting to show some unique color variations, which is surprising given that both are from the same strain.
This unexpected twist adds a bit of excitement, and I’m curious to see how it will develop over the next few weeks.
When it comes to scent, the differences are striking! The LST variant has a bold and distinct Lemon Haze aroma—zesty and citrusy 🍋💨
while the non-LST plant gives off a fruity-sweet smell that’s incredibly rich and inviting. 🍓🍭
Unfortunately, my camera broke this week, and now I’m dealing with some low-quality pictures. 📷😔
While it’s frustrating not to capture the plants in their full glory, I’ll do my best to document their progress as clearly as possible.
Overall, both plants are doing great, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out in the final stretch! 💚

This little seedling sprouted quite fast in a glass of water. It’s about 10 days out from germination now. I’m adding droppers of pH balanced water to the cube morning and evening. No roots coming out of the netpot yet.
I’m planning on LST training this plant and hope to get a better yield. Using the new QB288 Version 2 from Horticulture Lighting Group.

Flowering day 11
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature.
The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍.
The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍.
Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) .
Did them a lot of good.
You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍.
Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.
Stay healthy 🙏🏻

Muy complicado . He notado un color verde amarillento , he buscado y todos dicen que es carencia de micro micronutrientes y nitrógeno , además un excesivo uso de P K haciendo bloqueo de nutrientes , según algunos amigos cultivadores ... estamos tristes pero siempre tratando de darle lo mejor . Te amo

Wow 2 weeks since update?hmm.
Well #1 is in training still getting Wide, about 36 sq feet..6x6 area, tops starting to stretch, I think. Feeding Tomato 🍅 tone 3-4-6 maybe a slight boost of high p guano to help transition to flowering in next week or two, we'll be at 10hours of dark. And flowering will commence.👍
08/04/2018
Pre flower starting,post some pics soon. Got the little booster i mentioned above it is Fox farms big bloom as I said a slight boost.
#5 is definitely different from other plants, she is super stinky and sticky as hell, when stripping leaves. Took 3 clones for future testing.

This week she has grown quite well. Not as tall as the gorilla glue but she has great form and lots of new growth tips.
Also regretting not scrog’in her too, but it is what it is now so I’m kinda happy with it.
My tent is a nice size so not a problem, I have the light on adjustable rope so I’m not gonna worry about it.
I’ll do some de-foliation on her and take about 50% off from the bottom.
No point keeping them as they don’t get as much light anyhow and besides to many branches will affect my top growth.
I’ll switch her to 12/12 this week as I’m happy with her size now. Hopeful to get a massive condense bud on the top.
A big fatty will be awesome.
She’s been enjoying the nutrient schedule so far and I’m happy with this.
I don’t normally veg out a plant this long but ah well it is what it is eh.
She has a potent smell amd she ain’t even in flower so hopefully this is a good sign.

This week will arrive Bug Bud and Carboload by Advanced nutrients, let´s see how she responds :). Next week will rain a lot, so i will prepare myself and start giving her Botryprot by Prot Eco to prevent mold.
Day 50 - She´s healthy. today is the first foliar day. I used 2,5ml/L of Botryprot. Overall she looks very happy, maybe needing some PK. She´s starting to have some fresh blueberry aroma. Fingers get sticky
Day 52 - Feeding day. I added 1ml/L Alga Bloom making a total of 3ml/L. Sprayed her today again.
Day 55 - Has been hot these days, feeding day today again. Today i added 1ml/L Bid Bud, 2ml/L Carboload and 1ml/L Alga Bloom. As she´s healthy i didn´t feel i needed to slowly introduce. Let´s see how she responds, but my experiments are going well :) I´m confident.
Day 57 - Foliar spray today again. The storm will come in strong.

They coming along so nicely. They stacking on so much as they grow and the terpenes are becoming so nice to the smell. They starting to smell very pungent and piney along with a nice fruit cent.
I increased the nutrients by 1ml.

Week Five and Flowering has begun
Will fold in Bio-Bloom and replace Fix Mix with Bio-grow , may add some Phos via top dressing as well.
Yellowing continues to recede just not fast enough for my comfort.
Brandy has obviously stunted considerably and Maggie at least somewhat. Could not expect differently
Moving to Flowering tent soon as its clear, couple of days at most
10/28 UPDATE
Going to play on a couple of hunches at next watering.
Need to get a TDS meter soon, got a feeling it would help.
Ever since we went to BioBizz we have experienced a variety of oddness in the vein of this grow.
Now long term since we are switching to coco and Flora nuet line that is solved but short term I am switching to Dr. Earth Flower Girl for remainder of grow.
Every feeding/watering will be @6.5 PH to 20% run off and checking PH on that. Of course this will be modified based on results. Schedule is a single top dressing at 4 tbs (roughly 2 tsp per gal of soil) covering with 1/2 inch min of coco and 50% perlite as a mulch.
Layla must go on her own feeding schedule as she is just so much bigger and drinking well. Will do the feed when moving to Flowering tent in a day or so as that will be about time to water. She looks good if a little darker green than I like. Were it only Layla I might not suspect anything... meh
Here is where Grow Diaries saved the day , by going back and looking at past grows we came to suspect the nuet change although initially results were great problems always seemed to follow. In my reaction to that, not knowing, I may have made other mistakes, likely in fact.
Its a solid organic and may head off some issues.
Simplify
As for Bandy and Maggie, still have that bottle of H2O2 on the shelf, need to see some serious improvement real soon. Getting to be now or never
Later: Talked to the owner of a hydroponics store who is also a long time grower that knows these nuet lines cold.
His take is that it is absolutely the Bio-Bizz nuets, seems they are hard to run alone as they have holes in their make up which will cause mystery deficiencies in some plants and soil mixes.
That really pisses me off LoL , my fault though just glad I have partial explanation.
Good thing is he was able to show me the CocoTek Grow and Bloom lines and that is going to be the choice, two part feed without complications.
Simplify heheh
10/29
Confirmed the dye reading of pot PH on all three by another method.
Took a handful sized soil sample from as deep as I could of each pot and placed into a cup, soaked with 7.0 water let stand 15 minutes to stabilize, tested pour off, all at 6.7 so that is NOT the problem. Damn it
This is the reasoning:
Water goes into the pot at 6.4-6.5 takes the entire system to that level temporarily, it then begins bringing it up to 6.7-6.8ish and that friends covers the entire range of nuet take-up in soil. Going to cheat a bit high and make it 6.5 solid as its good on acid content. Least thats how I see it, back to basics so may as well.
Top dressing Layla today with Flower Girl, others follow when pots dry out a bit more.
Moved to Flowering Tent , something came up and they still have not been feed will try and do it this afternoon.
10/30 Fed
Recharge 0.5 tsp - Kangaroots 5ml - CalMag 5ml - PH 6.5 for one gallon over 4 tbs top dressing Dr. Earth Flower Girl and one inch of mulch (50% coco/perlite)
11/1 Defoliated Layla (about 3%) so the center of the plant gets good light, did a little training on Brandy to keep things dry,
Maggie... man just letting it grow I am just flabbergasted at this yellow leaf thing
Pics at watering tomorrow
11/2 No water today, they dont need it.

We have lift-off! She has stretched her little heart out this past week. This growth spurt inevitably came with a load of foliage, so I've been defoliating through the week - just a little each day - to keep the airflow nice.
She is loving the Bud Explosion. Bud sites are starting to swell up nicely, and the fragrant aroma is getting more and more every day, quite zesty, very citrus. More lemony than orange at the moment, but still early days. The first hint of frost is beginning to set in, and she is looking a very healthy plant, hopefully should get some nice trichome production.
This is my first photo-period plant, and in all honesty it's gone a lot smoother than some of the autos I've grown! No deficiencies, no pH or EC issues, no heat stress :) I deliberately gave it a long veg time so it didn't feel rushed, but moving forward I wouldn't want to have 1 plant taking up that much space for that long. SOG might be the way to go, but that's for another day.
Current feeding:
CalMag: 0.5ml / liter
Megacrop: 5.5 grams / gallon
Bud Explosion: 1.5 grams / gallon
Will be running PK 13/14 for a week, probably starting some point this week when I next need to change the res.
pH is currently 6 in the res, rising to 6.1 / 6.2 in the autopot tray.
Let's see what this week brings :) Happy growing.
