Week 7: The SpiderFarmer SF4000 has arrived. It’s hanging at about 28” at 80% and the plants seem to be very happy. The spectrum is significantly “whiter” rather than the purple of my other lights. Heat is definitely manageable. Buds have chunked up over that last week. I did probably the last feeding as I’m coming up to day 56. Clones are rooted and planted for next round and trying to decide what to run for next round. Some strains are looking better than others but overall pretty nice. Happy Growing 🌱

Disclaimer: Stunning trichomes here too but after so many photos come down and look... We are in our Dark Time we really want to find colored plants to see what trichomes they have exploring the microworlds like Indiana Jones. This time it's the turn of the new Black Diamond, just released with a very Californian heritage and even more so, ladies and gentlemen here we are again in California it could easily be a plant from the best Californian breeders but it is Zamnesia and maybe it is even better... ** Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques (come back during the week to see). today we are talking about the harvest of the dark phenotype, which is also the most beautiful and picturesque to show in the hole of both the colas and the wonderful macros. Bad luck wanted the most beautiful plants to finish first so in the next few weeks you will find very nice plants but these colored ones are from another planet. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow straight with a bit of LST on the lower branches to widen and let it get light and a fimming at a certain point to try to keep the plants in that growbox aligned as much as possible. Better with the techniques or normal? This time we have two slightly different phenotypes, the scent and the flower are similar but this one is really super dark and how can you not prefer it but it's a question of phenotype the yield is excellent also on the other plant that will be harvested soon. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars + infinity. The plant has resined incredibly, the flowers are hard as marble so much that if Michelangelo Buonarroti were still alive he would sculpt a David. Truly beautiful under all points of life, the flowers are so qualitative that it seems to be in California really from the best growers in the world. To remove the stink from the top of the flowers, dust etc. we did the washing of the buds according to the procedure recommended by Luka on Zamnesia, I recommend it to you! Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers // I managed to unload this plant relatively here the black was fading on some of the sun leaves, it is not completely fading but for the photos I needed a full wild black. For the reasons mentioned above and for an excellent flavor I prefer Organic, All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Bro if you are a stubborn type "I don't put anything in it" use additives listen every now and then.... and then come and tell me about it. The nutrients are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is truly exceptionally Cali, usually plants bred by Europeans don't look so Cali, not this one. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11187-zamnesia-seeds-black-diamond.html Zamnesia Description // Looking for a potent and reliable feminized strain? Look no further than Black Diamond. This wonderful hybrid crosses Blackberry with Diamond OG, resulting in 90% indica and 10% sativa plants with a respectable THC level of 23%. Growers will love these tall, productive plants, while smokers will enjoy tasty sessions full of sweet aromas and delicious grape flavours. The Black Diamond's qualities continue to shine through when you finally get to sample the flowers. Properly dried and cured, her buds are irresistible, not only for their divine smell but also for their appearance. The predominant aromas in her bouquet are sweet and fruity notes, with the fragrance of grapes taking center stage. You can appreciate these aromas by smoking her in a joint or vaping her, but they will also shine in sweet edibles, and will add a fruity note to your cannabis delights. With their high THC level (23%), these delicious flowers quickly conquer the mind and body with a relaxing and long-lasting effect. The perfect strain to enjoy before a well-deserved rest. Music and Frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies made especially for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ---- www.zamnesia.com

July 5 - The girls are still doing awesome. temps are between 21-26. Humidity is 40-50. Still feeding every 24-36 hours with 3L per plant. July 6 - They are doing good. Showing lots of flower sites now. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures today. July 7 - Tons of progress since last week. I don't see any signs of any problems, and still no pests! The smell is getting A lot stronger as it starts to flower more July 8 - Still doing there thing, no problems, temps and humidity is fine. Have been feeding every 24 hours now as they seem to be really thirsty July 9 - Super happy with how they are doing. No issues yet. Smell is heavier, and tons of bud sites showing up. Only issue is they are growing pretty uneven. July 10 - Time to get a even canopy! First time doing some HST. I also did some defoliation. One of the stems split open a bit but it seems to be doing just fine. I did he HST and defoliation in the morning, i then took pictures of 12 hours later and everything seems just fine! July 11 - Everything seems to be a lot more even and the broken stem doesn't seem to affect the growth.

The BruceBanner3 was nice to grow and we can absolutely her. she produced a lot of buds and brought us a yield of 65g dried. It tastes very delicious, much fruitier than the runtz. Despite a temporary lack of calmag and the wrong ph value, she rewards us with juicy buds You can really taste the terps, we had never smoked anything like it before!

Hey there, lads! 👋🌱 It's time for the final update as we enter week 10 of this LED MephistoGenetics Grow. We're on the brink of harvest, and the excitement is Real! 🌿🌸🌞 The majority of my plants are reaching their peak and will be ready for harvest very soon. However, it seems that the Pink Panama and Tooth Decay strains require a few extra weeks to reach their full potential. 🌿🌱⏳ In the meantime, I've already commenced the drying process for my other plants—the beloved Copy Cat Genetics strains & ETHOS—within the tent. In a day or two, they will be eagerly awaiting their new home in designated jars. Proper drying is crucial to preserving the amazing aromas and aromas we've worked tirelessly to cultivate. 🌿🍃🌬️ When comparing this grow to my previous one, which utilized the Lumatek HPS lights, I must say that the buds under the LED lights have truly impressed me with their vibrant colors. The canopy is now a mesmerizing display of the full rainbow, boasting pink, purple, orange, white, Reds. and some exceptionally frosty buds. It's an awe-inspiring sight! 🌈🌿❄️ Today was the last day of providing nutrients, and from now on, I'll be giving them only water with a small dose of connoisseurs to maintain a pH level of 6.33 and a TDS of 50. The long-awaited harvest should take place within a couple of days. Meanwhile, tomorrow, I'll be transferring the Copycat Genetics grow from the drying tent to the jars. We're currently on day 65 of this Mephisto Grow. I'm beyond thrilled to finally harvest these ladies, especially the ones that have been under the LED lights. Their intense aromas fill the air, creating a tantalizing atmosphere in the grow room. 🌿🌸✨🌿 That's all for now, lads! Stay green, stay positive, and may your buds be fire. Cheers and happy growing, lads! 🌿🌼🌟🌿🔥🌿

Hanging in the tent, looking great. Thought I'd try my hand at 'live' or 'raw' bubble hash using the frozen CO2 method. Worked well, great fun. Drying for the rest of the week. .......................................................................................................... Well I am ecstatic, delighted, and well pleased. The totals: - 185g of excellent flower - 3g of 'live' bubble hash - 2.3g of killer bubble - 1.2g of dangerous shatter There you have it. Would I get more or less if I had heavily trimmed or lollipopped? You tell me! Thanks for your friendly comments and attention to my grow.

Start of week 3, the three survivors are doing great! I did happen to find some algae growing on top of one of the rockwool cubes. (This was my fault for not fully covering the tops of them with hydroton to block out light.) As an attempted fix, I cut some square pieces of black cloth that I laid of the top of the cubes to block out the light completely. Hoping removing their light source, the algae will die off and discourage any further growth. If it gets any worse I’ll try using a hydrogen peroxide solution. Day 17, the three ladies are looking nice. Starting to see some nice healthy roots populate inside the buckets. I went ahead and upped their nutrients today. We will see how they are doing in the morning. -FloraFlex - 1.5g/gal of each V1 and V2. -Advanced Nutrients - 1/2 strength MGB and hobbyist additives. **Algae update: seems like using the black cloth to block out all the light has killed off that algae growth and I don’t see anymore so it’s working!** Day 18, I thought one of my plants had root rot. Which was weird for it to happen that fast in less than 24 hours since changing the res. Come to find out it’s just nutrient stain from the Advanced Nutrients, so thank god. #1 and #2 which are growing with FloraFlex got FIMmed today. I’ve topped plants before but never FIM. Not sure if I did it right, but that’s the fun in all this, is experimenting to see what works. Day 20, #1 and #2 are responding well after being FIMmed couple days ago. I decided to FIM #3 as well. I also decided to leave the 4th one out of this diary from here on out since she’s behind. We will stick with the original three that survived from the start. So far I’m really loving their bushy appearance and thick leaves. Their roots are coming out super nice as well! Pretty soon these babies are going to just take off!

Weather has been much better this week. Put in some nematodes to try and regulate on some fungus gnats. No feeding yet this week. Topped the Deep Purple this week, and took a little to much off the top lol 😂 but should be quite all right. Gonna start some LST this next week. Super fun and grow on 🤙🏻

Week 5 Veg and things are cruising along. The lanky girl in the 2 gal pot is starting to look better structure wise than the other 5. Thinking about transferring her to a 7 gallon pot for clones! The Tri leaf mutation is really taking off, throwing tops for days with out training or topping. 3 of the ladies have been topped to make bushes and the other are growing natural with some defoliation.

Day 64 - the hulk is here! a. this plant has really surprised me and exploded everywhere b. Pumped out the DWC and installed 15 litres of my explosion flower blend. Adding liquid KoolBloom and keeping the Diamond Nectar flowing for this lady c. Ive noticed that continuing Diamond Nectar throughout flowering in strains that contain OG Kush make the buds much more dense. Day 65 - flowering really well a. I think she loves the new flowering blend! she drank 3 litres overnight! b. Im going to push this plant very hard to the finish c. keeping the PH 6.5 throughout all of flowering Day 66 - The sative genes are shining through! a. I wanted a super sativa plant for this grow, I want a mind numbing head high, this will do it b. it looks and smells alot like White Widow, probably due to the Myrcene terpenes. c. she is drinking 3-4L a day right now, Im dumping in the above chart mixed 1:1 right now. d. tied the larger side branches back a little to open her up, she is thick Day 67 - a little more guidance for the branches a. added in 2 ties for the large side branches to give space, there are many tops here b. she is drinking so much, it is crazy! c. the resin is already being produced, and is very sticky and strong Day 68 - explosions everywhere a. the buds are expanding vigorously, the stigmas are huge and very strong b. she is still stretching upward its amazing to see c. the plant is consuming 3-4L a day right now Day 69 - continue to grow a. drinking alot, 4L overnight, stretching like a giant b. lowered the light just a ilttle to get some more penetration into the plant Day 70 - growing like a weed!

Algae is an asshole. Thought things were going really well... and then found a bit of algae in the rockwool.... No biggie I figure. Wrong. Left it one night, and today (Sunday) open the jar to find algae in all the roots. Not cool. Well, I needed to swap the nutrients anyway, and was going to do a major bonsai pruning... so why not also wash everything, plant included, in mild hydrogen peroxide solution? Sure, THAT's fun. Made the decision to swap Hydroguard for H2O2 as well, since the water is room temp (21-22 C) and the H2O2 supposedly helps prevent algae.... and keeps away root rot even in higher solution temperatures. Oh, and H2O2 is also seemingly a buffer... making getting the pH right in that small jar strange - needed WAY more pH down than without the hydrogen peroxide. Fingers crossed that the major life disturbances will help manage the algae and not just put the nails in the coffin.

(Log date week 7, day 49) So this week was a mixed bag, Tuesday started off with me finding a spider web on one of the lower fan leaves on my Hulkberry plant and noticed some bite marks on some of Fat Banana. In my haste to give rid of the spider mites, i caused some minor wind damage to some of the fan leaves on Hulkberry which caused some copper spotting and a stunted Fat banana cola. After i correctly treated both plants for spider mites and wind damage, they both bounced back and started to recover quite nicely. I also noticed a difference between topping these plants at different times; i topped fat banana when it had 4 cola's but i waited until hulkberry's roots reached to the bottom of my 5gal bucket and she had 8 cola's. A BIG difference in their recovery and overall structure, where fat banana jump out the gate with explosive veg growth and hulkberry struggled for two weeks just to develop it's first set of fan leaves. To now whereas hulkberry is much bigger, greener and bushier than fat banana. Hulkberry has responded much better to the additional stress whereas fat banana has struggled or stalled due to the stressful conditions. All in all wasn't too bad of a week, except for the power going out for a couple of hours on Saturday which raised my grow-room temperature to 90f, i was able to put out a couple of fires this week without any adverse long term effects. I also topped hulkberry on the last day of the week and I'm going to continue to feed them Technfloa at the full recommended strength since they have both responded very well to last week's formula. as always my pic are in chronological order Mr. O.G.T

Starting to sugar up a bit 😁, very slight tip burn so calmag'd with 10ml in 6L each, then gave it a good water and this is the day after next fert. They got 10ml of big bud, bud candy, and bud factor x each.
