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?

Day 57. Think returning to good pH finally works, they are damaged a lot, but all first wave and few in this managed to escape almost without harm. Funky colours plants are most pickiest and that was proven again ... I always screw up with them ;))) Last heavy feed of Biobizz and only water. Max 3 weeks till chop and it doesn't matter if some won't be ready. My time to leave has come ... One Strawberry is making my heart sing, I knew SB will be special. I highly recommend her without even smoking ... Added few more photos to prove it. It's a big can and I am tall men, so this cola is NUTS ;) 9 week plant, I will chop her this Tuesday I think .... I have now 1400W in the grow room. Mars Hydro SP150 and SP3000 are in the game too. Hope it will rush girls a bit 😉😉😉😉😉😉 Those two totally frozen, white stem , almost dead girls - RECOVERED !!! Weed is insanely resilient plant. I know that it will be 5-10 g max, but still ... All branches white from frost, I saw such colours only when bud rot was eating them, those btw most probably doomed here too ... Happy Growing !!!

Would love to give nute measurements but in my situation, using dry. Here we are, in our forever home in the middle of my city buried deep in plain site. Will che k again the week after Easter, this weekend and then again in June. Can’t visit to often in my way. Be able to walk or bike to spot, prep, plant, leave 😕

Always a huge yielded and a heavy hitter. Name is true to the effect. A little tough to get back ahead if you get deficient so remember she eats a lot. My favorite strain, have had the cut for over 2 years.

Vamos familia que ya actualizamos la cosecha de estas Candy Rain de Zamnesia, para el concurso POWER BUDS Plagron x Zamnesia CONTEST. Ya era hora de cosechar, estoy bastante contento con los resultados. Vaya flores que se han marcado repletas de tricomas, y las flores se marcan aromas dulces y afrutados. Es una variedad bastante fácil de cultivar y muy resistente, crecieron desde el principio bien vigorosas, sin problemas y al final de todo recompensó. Las condiciones ambiéntales han sido máximas en 25 y mínimas en 20 y una humedad estable en torno al 36% al final de floración y en el secado. Os comento que tengo un descuento y para que compréis en la web de Zamnesia de un 20%, el código es ZAMMIGD2023 The discount 20% and the code is ZAMMIGD2023 https://www.zamnesia.com/ Espero que disfruteis este diario, buenos humos 💨💨

Well it would seem I'm addicted to growing as predicted. In the last week, I had a friend donate me a 2x4 tent. So I went ahead and grabbed an HLG 135w Rspec to compliment the 100w V2 3000K I already had. Set up the 2x2 as a veg room for next grow so I can get a perpetual garden going. Onto week 1 of flower nutes from Green Planet. Seems like my ideal inflow EC is 800. Still watering just twice daily at 6am & 6pm. Adding nutes in correct NER, adjusting EC then adding macronutrients as well as GPH at the end. Massive amount of growth going on now. Node stacking and branches coming up to join the canopy. Considered defoliation but if I'm going to do it, I'm going to wait until the girls pre flower. I do not want to interrupt photosynthetic growth and trigger the flower phase. Each day these plants stay in veg equals more weight in flower when we are all done. Added an Exhale bag. Science seems to dictate that additional co2 will not create any additional growth in a vented tent (like mine). Also, your lights need to reach a concentration of 1000µmols/m2 which mine do not. But I had already paid for the thing and had it shipped before learning this. Oh well, I'm sure it wont hurt! Keeping the lights up high to try and keep some stretch going. Will update as the week progresses

Amber is coming in nicely, top to bottom - starting 1 week flush! ~As one only can in *Hydroponics (& coco). It's not "bro science" it's biology 101. It does not boost thc, it does nothing to terpene production. Simply put - we are ensuring/pushing a fall fade, that in soil you may or may not get naturally as nutrients are always present, (I'm not seeing growers emulate late fall weather to do it that way... /shrug). Color change! With that you geeeeeet *the breakdown of chlorophyll, and a better taste as a result. Lots of purple popped up this week, two gals with foxtailing (one mother / one clone - but no herms thankfully - all nat-ur-al) First thought it would just be the mother / being too close to LEDs, but her clone did the same thing at 10'' Very excited for this harvest! ~~~~~~~~~~ Granddaddy Purple (Feminized Photoperiod) (Sponsored By) ~Zamnesia~ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/11056-zamnesia-seeds-granddaddy-purple.html Hybrid: Grandaddy Purple x Purple Kush (Purple Urkel x Big Bud*) 30% Sativa / 70% Indica Flowering Time: 63-70 Days 22% THC CBD 1% ~~~~~~~~~~ Zamnesia was kind enough to give us a discount code with this grow ~ go get you 20% off at checkout!!! 20% Off Code: ZAMMIGROW2024 https://www.zamnesia.com/us/ ~~~ In-depth information regarding my day-to-day / common practice may be found on the front page of my profile (in the comments). ~~~ Breeders - my services are available!

Day 85 - final week - flush complete a. light has been turned down from 50% to 25% for today b. she is drinking about 3L of plain water c. the pistils are mostly brown now, in the breeder video Sabastian says to let all pistils go brown on Big Bud, he is right. I try some this morning, WOW! the effects are amazing d. she will get maybe 2 days of no light starting tonight, then I will harvest Day 86 - smelling wonderful a. first 24 hours of darkness and the buds are so frosty! Day 87 - 48 hours in the dark a. cut the plant, trimmed the large leaves off, and hung to dry.. will take about 10 days I think b. the smell is INTENSE! GAS! Very pungent and kushy mixed with fruit!

Yet another fun and eventful week! I did some final defiliation and LST before I flip them next week. I'd love to repot these into 3 gallon pots and veg longer, but I just don't have the space. I should get a good yield anyway. They grew well this week, and filled out nicely. I'm loving the way most of these are developing. The topping worked well and my canopy is looking good on these. I didn't have any problems this week. Everything went well, and I had a great time!

Starting into Week 5 Flower, week 11 total Mandarin Cookies definitely has an extremely strong orange citrus smell! Trichomes are coming in very nicely! MC’s are still ahead of the SK’s... however the SK on the left is catching up, with the one on the right having some budlets starting to form. 3 - Madarin Cookies are two in back and one in center; 2 - Silver Kush are two up front; 2 gallons water/nutes per 5 plants, alternating with plain water (just calmag, malassis, Ph. 6.4) every other day. Ph.6.4 (1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.) The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering. Can’t say enough good things about this light! Way less heat that any HPS/MH I’ve used. My big curiosity is about the final weight per watts used at finish for the Spider Farmer... UPDATE Week 5, Day 6: I did notice some heat stress on only a few of the taller branches (they were about 6” from the light). I did move the light a little further up about 4” to get some distance, and added an extra fan. Hope this helps the leaf curling! Question: have you ever driven past a house and can instantly tell they just harvested?? Ha! I just did that on my way home, and thought I was smelling my house from a long distance away.

That is my 2nd grow, so i tried some Lst. I use two tents and change positions depending on needs and size of the plants. I did half a Pack of "Monster Bud Mix" (Zamnesia) in the soil, now i feed little amount of Plagron (i dont feed every watering). She made no bigger problems (sometimes she showed signs of lightstress, iguess - i am still figuring out why), but i am a noob in this game and others would have better results. From day to day she looks more delicious. In all i like the result of this strain. 1 of 1 germinated august 28th.
