Week 5

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

start of week 7 flower | smell is insane | i just love this cut | very slight lightburn | i dropped the night temperatures to 20C | dropped overall temp to 25 | dropped 5% of light | gonna decrease day temperature in the coming days | one more week of hesi mineral line |

Alright, I moved her into Homebox Q60+ now and provided some professional light Q3W from Sanlight with 120W full spectrum range. This setup is much better for the plant compared to my setup in 1st week. Now it is also much easier for me to keep stable humidity and temperature. Day 9 - Looks like she recovers from stress I gave her in 1st week. Stem looks quite thin to me - but since I have no experience I can't be sure if it is abnormal for this age or not.

Week 4 flower. Switched to canna nutrients yesterday. No noticeable issues yet.

Day 36- 20/6 General: She keeps growing at a very nice pace, flowering stage just started. Today I cut a good amount of foliage, and accidentally broken a nice branch while training her. It broke in a place I couldn't really 'cast it' so I had to let it go. I'm so sad, it was the first time ever. After some very hot days, now came rain, and an exponential increase of RH. Turned off the humidifier for now and still have peaks of 60% with light off and ventilation full on. But RH outside is 95%, so it's hard to do much better for now. Techniques: Training day, moved a little the stems and broke one in the very bottom, so had to discard it. Took some foliage away to get more light in it. Feeding: Fastening day Smell: She's still the queen of the tent when it comes to this topic, no doubts about it. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 20c 60% - 39% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 37- 21/6 General: She's gettin really taller this last days. Up is the way! Need to do a little more training tomorrow or the day after to make sure all the plant gets the same amount of light. Today I didn't touched her, just took some pictures and let her do her thing. The heavy rain brough 96% RH outside, so I had a little peak oh 70% inside the tent for an hour, but it kinda locked on the 62% with the lights off and extractor full on. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Later today, before lights on, she'll have her first feed with flowering nutes. 1250ml Smell: She's still the queen of the tent when it comes to this topic, no doubts about it. When you trim some foliage, it comes a nice passionfruit punch. So good I can't believe in it. For those who know Rubicon or Brisa passion fruit sodas, it's just like that. 😍 Now my biggest stress is keeping my girlfriend away from the grow and keep it closed, because she loves that smell and is constantly nosing around. Love it. Temps and RH recorded today: 27c - 21c 70% - 42% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 38 - 22/6 General: It's stretching season for #3. She really needs a bit of training before it starts full on, and some defoliation. After breaking a stem, I'm a bit traumatised and avoiding touching them for some days. I'm giving her water now for a couple days to see if it gets a bit better, looks like I was giving her a bit too many nutes for this stage. So, first let her dry a bit, then start with PH'ed water. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: I'm giving her water now for a couple days to see if it gets abit better, looks like I was giving her a bit too many nutes for this stage. So, first let her dry a bit, then start with PH'ed water. Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 22c 62% - 41% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 39 - 23/6 General: This days I really haven't done much. I wanted to give them a week to be themselves, and see after what can I do to improve them, so this weekend I'll use some time to eventually start a Scrog training, If I'm still on time. She's looking good, but I'm afraid the time between them and the advance stage of #1 might not be the perfect condition to do this. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Only h2o, ph 6.5 Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 27c - 21c 60% - 37% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 40 - 24/6 General: Another day is gone, nothing new, keep giving her water and thinking about the ScrOG to make this more effective, as they start to fight for space in the middle of the grow. She's outgrowing #1 Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Aqua vulgaris - A.K.A. - Tap water Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 23c 53% - 37% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 41/42 - 24-25/6 General: Big big stretch. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Aqua vulgaris - A.K.A. - Tap water Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH: 30c - 17c (26 average) 62% - 24% (43% average) Pests and plagues: Nothing to record.

It's time to harvest the crops, today was the day of the first Green Crack F1 Hybrid Automatic by Zamnesia. ** Remember that for all strains we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. Technique Used // In this case we see the plant worked with the MAINLINING technique: we waited for the third internode and did TOPPING (you can also do it at the second to lengthen the vegetative phase in autoflowering plants, it's better); from this topping a MAINFOLDING was carried out by cleaning everything that was underneath in the underlying internodes and leaving only the two mini branches growing as a result of the first topping, the Mainfold precisely. We stole the two branches with the arches up to the third internode of each respective branch and we did TOPPING once again, from here the plant was left to grow directing it with LST as best we could. Better with the techniques or normal? It is a plant with a medium-low distance between internodes, this technique is not recommended, the plant is not very big but it has produced well anyway, let's wait to compare the results with the one without techniques but it is very big, the other one, in this case I tend towards the straight solution. Look instead at the Ghost Train Haze for example which has a wide distance between internodes, what did it do to me... immense. Flower quality // The plant has resined very well anyway, there is a very mellow smell, I think sweet/strawberries, I have to go deeper, the consistency is exceptional, I washed the buds as recommended on Zamnesia, do not underestimate this practice, I who look at the plants in , acre give away a lot of hair and a lot of waste of other nature, washing makes your grass better and more competitive even for contests and cups. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-coltivare-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Feertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going flush was fed a few days only with additives and then went flush and we are discolored sufficiency. All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green version / 100% organic have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the site www.plagron.com You can instead find the fertilizers in convenient all-inclusive packs on the Zamnesia site. Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10677-zamnesia-seeds-green-crack-f1-automatic.html Zamnesia Description // Forget what you think you know about cannabis.

Tag 62

Only 3/4 sprouted so I’m going with that. I don’t have any extra seeds. I am very happy tho because my last grow 4 was a lot in my setup. I want to see how much I can train 3 plants and how much bigger I can get them. I also have to order seeds this run and get more soil. Very excited

I dont see where to put the dry weight but it is 578.86 grams. Was a great strain to grow. Was worried at first because they were short but they turn out to be only bud , great weight for their size , thanks everyone

First flowering post - they arnt fully flowering yet tho I musta emit. I dunno why they all seem to be slow to sex but now there are a few pistols showing in the main growth mode so I’m v happy. The cheese plants are doing great. When I was LST’ing I must admit in order to make the canopy much more even I decided to try ‘supercropping??’ I pinched the stem enough for it to go soft and bend so I could get the highest growth node to the same height as all the others. It looked aweful after I did it but now after 24h it looks a lot better - really healthy even! I must admit I gave them a heavy dose of microbes and molasses just after bending and tying. Im sure that had a lot to do with the fast recovery. Full steam ahead to see some bloody pistols!!!!! Im working on which strains I want to grow next at the mo as well. Trying to get sweet seeds to send me some Tropicanna poison but not sure if they send test seeds to the UK. Probably not - we’ll see. Iv been wanting to grow that plant for aaaages. I’m also looking for a really decent gas strain. I been recommended NYCD. Havnt narrowed down a breeder yet tho. UPDATE - Saturday Thought I’d do a quick update just to say I added a few photos and a video from my security camera in there. It’s quite useful just to see how much they are stretching in a week. Not that I need to know it’s just cool. Also when I go away (as I do most weekends for about 2-3 days - sometimes more) I can just tune into the cam to make sure my physical security hasn’t been breached by any gangs lol. Well not any gangs just one - and they happen to be backed by the government. Lol I worry that when I’m away they will raid and leave me an arrest warrant after having stolen all my plants and meds. It’s a fairly dramatic fear but it’s not without its reasonings. I have been raided by the police number it’s times so it’s not a totally irrational fear - the difference is that I’m sober now (other than cannabis medicine of course) and so I’m not drawing attention to myself and bringing unwanted eyes on me and secondly (and maybe more important) I don’t actually sell drugs or weed or anything anymore so yeh. It’s a rational irrational fear lol I do believe the police have bigger fish to fry HOWEVER here in the UK it is still VERY illegal to grow so i have absolutely no doubt that given any chance they would happily relieve me of everything iv built up in the past 4 years (whilst being on probation I will add lol). The proof is in the pudding though. Every since I quit using heroin and benzodiazepines in favour of cannabis things have just been getting better and better and iv been able to function better and better also. I must admit I was worried for a while that cannabis took away my creativity when I used lots of it but I am learning that it was actually just the fact that my life was in a place I didn’t like and I was dealing with serious childhood trauma. When I was using heroin and benzos it allowed me to cover it in order to live my daily life (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have been willing to put up with the MANY negatives - there had to be something it was doing for me), however, when I took away the numbing opiates and benzos I had to start dealing with it and it was that trauma and having to deal with it which is why I wasn’t able to be creative. I’m an artist and so creativity is very important to me but for months, well years actually I just wasn’t able to paint or even play music really for that matter. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I think now because I was just preoccupied in my mind dealing with stuff. I won’t deny tho - that cannabis in excess DOES take away my motivation to get up off my ass and turn the TV or Netflix off though. I do have to watch out for that because If I’m not careful I can end up sitting there all day smoking when I should be out doing stuff and then I miss windows for my other crops where I can’t just turn the light source on and off whenever I feel like it - it’s quite hard to do that with the sun!! Anyway - I kind of use this space as a proper diary every now and again when I need to get something out. It’s not like anyone but me really reads these bits anyway so it doesn’t really matter!! Hell - even I don’t really read them tbh! UPDATE - I’m all jazzed up about growing again for sure. I somehow only just figured out really that you I can program different ‘scenes’ within my temp and humidity controllers. So anyway obviously the past month it’s been set to the veg/auto settings and I recently obviously had to switch it to the flower settings but I kind of forgot to lower the RH and adjust temp accordingly. So anyway that’s a long way of saying I did that lol. I’m definitely going to include another CBG seed in my new grow as I’m really interested in growing some hemp for medicinal use. Maybe as a tincture and or edibles, probably from rosin. It just seems to make sense rather than doing a nasty crude extraction using alcohol. The only trouble is I believe I sacrifice yield but then the flip side Is it would be less because there is less nasty shit. So I havnt narrowed down a specific breeder yet but iv been looking at a few. I was also looking at 1:1 CBD/CBG strains but they said they need more breeding before it brings the cbg ratios up in the majority of plants as it’s meant for people planting hundreds of seeds (from what I can gather). I received Fastbuds LSD-25, purple lemonade, chemdawg and I dunno something else but I’m kind of uninterested in growing them atm so they’ll stay in the vault. (which is growing pretty big now lol) To satisfy my purple craving I will be growing the sweet seeds Tropicanna poison as it looks banging and iv wanted to grow it since I sort of half grew the Dutch passion critical orange punch. So a long time. I will also be narrowing down two strains from the EU humboldt site. I intend to order tomorrow evening when I get paid as I’m always paranoid of them selling out. This is the only time iv really slowed down to choose what I want to grow. Also this is the first time iv chosen based on flavour first. I intend to cover sweet, sour, Chem and citrus with probably 4 THC dom strains and then the cbg variety also. I’m interested in starting to look at KNF but mainly from a vegetable plot perspective atm. I’m happy and comfortable using salt based nutrients now I’m not paying a lot for them and I’m not buying into the whole shipping a load of water philophosy - I do realise it can only get me so far tho. I do believe my allotment is a good place to start as I’m not reliant upon it. So if my practices don’t work it’s not as big of a deal to me. I rely on my cannabis crop - I can’t say the same about my veg yet.

Hi everyone. I'm using the Ikea wardrobe as a grow box, paid 15 Euro, I covered it with reflective material, paid 8 euros. I'm using a 125 Watt CFL lamp, paid 35 Euro, in the flowering phase I will add some LEDs to improve the results. I'm not an expert, this is my first time growing, but she looks very healthy and happy also with cheap materials :) If you have any suggestions I will be very happy.

16.07. Blue Sunset Sherbet Day 78# Nothing special happens except that she showed sex like the other plants. I little late,yesterday was the end of the eleventh week. This plant has fallen on me at least 6-7 times, every time there's a storm I find it lying in the grass and mostly before watering when the soil is light, when it's heavy it doesn't happen... this morning I found it when I was watering, and the storms were yesterday all day and this morning, but I found some damage on the leaves and I'm sure it lay in the grass for a whole day, I didn't go around it, but mostly the wind knocked it down so many times, never a single twig it didn't break, very strong plant...I'll have to move it to another place these days, put stakes in the ground and put it in a net for vegetables. Now I water them every other day. That would be it. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Devo dire che queste FF mi hanno sorpreso, la Purple Lemonade di Fast Buds si è rivelata un ottima genetica con una crescita rapida ed una resistenza allo stress elevata, il super soil di Dogma Organics mi ha veramente aiutato questa volta e sono stato ricambiato con dei boccioli dal profumo eccezionale e che cercherò di curare nel migliore dei modi!!! Penso che pianterò ancora molto presto queste Fast Flowering e preleverò qualche altro clone!!!
