During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

🌱 Week 3 – Transplant Time, Studio Vibes & Root Dreams Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 004 This week marks a major milestone in our BlueBerry journey, transplant time. Our three beautiful girls have been thriving, and after careful observation, we’ve selected Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 to move forward into their new homes and toward the flowering stage. ⸻ Transplanting into Fabric Pots – Why & How We’ve moved the selected girls into 11L Amnesia fabric pots, and here’s why fabric pots are a grower’s best friend: • Air Pruning: Fabric pots naturally prune roots when they hit the edges, encouraging a dense, fibrous root ball with no circling. • Oxygenation: They allow more airflow to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and preventing anaerobic pockets. • Drainage: Overwatering is much harder—excess water simply flows through. • Temperature Regulation: Fabric helps prevent root overheating, especially important under powerful grow lights. 🧡 These pots create an environment where roots can breathe, explore, and flourish. And that’s the heart of healthy, vigorous growth. ⸻ 🌿 Roots & Selection – What We Saw Before transplanting, we gently lifted the plants to check their roots, and they were absolutely gorgeous. White, fuzzy, and lively, signaling that they were ready to stretch into something bigger. While all three seedlings looked fantastic, BlueBerry #1 and BlueBerry #2 stood out with stronger symmetry, tighter nodes, and a more expressive posture. BlueBerry #3 will stay behind—for now—a backup, just in case. 💫 ⸻ Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepped the new pots with a focused super soil mix blended with Aptus Holland amendments: Transplant Mix Includes: • 🌱 Super soil base (organic, airy, compost-rich) • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with powerful mycorrhizal fungi • 🌿 Aptus Micro-Mix – delivers beneficial bacteria to balance the root zone • ⚖️ Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH & improves nutrient exchange First Watering Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Strengthens cell walls, improves nutrient flow, and boosts stress resistance (especially post-transplant). • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helps develop strong structure and leaf formation. • 💧 Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Balanced macro and micronutrients for baseline support. • 🌾 Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml Stimulates root expansion and early vegetative energy. Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Gear Overview Our setup is getting tighter every day: • Lighting: Black Series 600 LED by Future of Grow, full-spectrum, clean white light, perfect for compact, healthy growth. • Ventilation: • 6” Spider Farmer inline fan + (carbon filtered) – controlled by Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 6” TrolMaster AeroFan + (carbon filtered) – linked to the TrolMaster Ecosystem • Why carbon filters? Even at this stage, clean air = clean grow. Carbon filters reduce smells, but more importantly, they help purify the incoming and outgoing air. • Environmental Conditions: • Temp: ~27°C • Humidity: ~57.4% • CO₂: ~632 ppm • Airflow: Gentle, consistent, and perfectly balanced ⚙️ We’re gradually dialing in the TrolMaster system, automating parts of the grow environment, like extraction, CO₂ management, and eventually irrigation. For now, everything is still done by hand-watering, feeding, and loving every single leaf. ⸻ 📸 Studio Time – A Celebration of Beauty This week, the girls got a special treat: a trip to the studio. Their energy, their posture, their color, it all deserved to be captured. Their presence under the soft lights was stunning. These won’t be the last photos we take, we’ll be back again before they outgrow their portability. But for now, these are moments to remember. 💙📷 ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect After Transplant In the next few days: • Some slower above-ground growth is normal, roots are stretching first. • Expect to see a new flush of leaves and stronger stems midweek. • No training yet, just letting them adapt and settle. 🙅‍♂️ What NOT to Expect • No explosive height jumps yet • No flowering signs • No topping until they’re fully recovered This week is about integration, expansion, and ease. ⸻ 🎥 Series Continues – Follow the Rhythm As always, this is part of our ongoing Grow Series, an open diary of everything we do and why.

Greetings GrowDiaries! Cough is coming along nicely, bud sites are developing daily. I managed to get a shot in just after lights out with the flash. I'm certain that I have borderline N toxicity by the deep, dark ever green color and curling leaves (leaves aren't clawing yet and I pray they don't!) I flushed mid-week and hope this doesn't become an issue. Tomato seedlings a day after applying Compost Tea. Roots galore! New light coming in next week! Mars Hydro TS1000. Stoked! 'til next week, Be Safe and Stay Blessed! 🙏👽

Dear reader, I think I will be harvesting this lady by the end of this week. It is hard to determine as it seems like she is still developing and growing new pistils. Unfortunately she has had one cola with a little bit of bud rot. I instantly cut it after seeing and learning about it. The rest seems to be fine but I will use a dehumidifier in the future for other plants. Also when drying her. The RH was too high all the time (67%)

I had to decrease the light intensity as the tent was cooking my ladies. Some leaves are burned but she is growing frosty small buds.

My first Dinafem grows and what an outcome :). I got King Kong - the biggest cola I have ever grown. It yielded 53 grams and I will update smoke report in a week time I guess. Both Purple Buds and Industrial Plant CBD should be ready. I am currently undertaking some pre-smoke report testing :) and it ain't bad my friends a all :)0000

Week 3 day 7. Buds are getting icey and stretching around 1-2” a day. Dropped the carboload and is going to be replaced by a PK booster (big bud). Watering everyday. Plain RO on every 3rd water. The kind LED is pissing on the hps if im being honest. Bud development and vigor seems a lot nicer. Stay baked.
