Oggi sono 21 giorni da quando ho messo il seme nella terra. Per non aver mai fatto crescere nessuna pianta in vita mia sono molto soddisfatto. Avevo letto tantissime cose prima di iniziare , e fino ad ora possa dire che più facile farlo che leggerlo, decine di siti tanto regole simili, ma tantissime regole contrapposte dai vari siti. 3 febbraio primo giorno terza settimana passato, solita situazione 4 piantine felici una ancora bloccata. Oggi mi sono divertito a silenziare gli estrattori. E come dicevo più facile farlo direttamente. Oggi fatto un esperimento di lst . La pianta dopo poche ore ha rialzato la testa. Stasera applicherò lst a tutti i piantini. 23 giorno dalla semina Approfitto del sole e della temperatura mite per fargli godere di un giorno di sole. 26 giorno ho alzato la lampada fino ad 80 cm, misurando con un fotometro mi sono reso conto che a quella distanza la mia lampada da 50000 lumen quasi. E quindi ho capito a cose erano dovute le bruciature dei giorni passati. Sto pensando di prendere una lampada meno potente. Però con questi accorgimenti le piante negli ultimi 4 giorni sono raddoppiate se non triplicate

This week went very well! One will be getting cut an hung to dry while the rest finish up with one more week of flush ! These ladies are smelling so lovely I hope you all enjoy! Stay tuned for next week! Cheers 😤💨💨💨💨💨

Left alone for a week in autopot. Lack of nutrients :(

🌱 GERMINATION (4 days) Seed in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 24 hours, then in root riot and under the lamp. She sprouted 4 days from dry seed. 🌿 GROWING STAGE (12 weeks) I decided to grow this plant with a long vegetative period, this allowed me to do a lot of training and try something more than the usual defoliation and LST. Starting from the 5th veg week I started my training, I FIMmed the main and carried out a defoliation sessions once/weeks for three weeks. During the last weeks of vegetative growth (week 10-12) she got significantly more intense training, a lot of branches and leaves were removed in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible. I also topped several branches. Due the size of the plant, on week 12 veg I decided to halve its size by bending all the branches that had passed the first lollipopping phase. To support the plant during recovery from SuperCropping I mounted the ScrOG-net, which will also allow me to keep those branches low. I must confess that it was very satisfying to push this plant to the limit and then watch she recover in just a few days. Height at the end of the veg stage: 55 cm. During the veg stage PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.8 and was 1.7 on the last veg week. 🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (10 weeks) I started this phase after 48 hours of darkness, Then changed the DWC solution for transition. I focused the training on the first 4 week flowering, mostly LST and defoliation, then mounted another scrog to support and open the canopy even more. Stretching stopped during week 4 of flowering, doubling in height despite bending branches through the scrog-net during the transition phase. She showed pre-flowers around 20 days after the switch. During the last six weeks of flowering (weeks 5-10) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values ​​under control with the Tent-X which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above. Height at the end of the flo stage: 100 cm. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.6 and 6.2, about EC I started pretty high, EC was 2-2.2 during the transition, then I raises it up to 2.4 in the fattening phase, then slowly downed it during the ripening. In the end, there were five flush days before the cut. ✅ HARVEST - From sprout to harvest: 152 days (84 days veg + 68 days flo); - Harvest on day 68 from switch, when trichomes were about 95% milky and 5% amber; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. ✅ DRYING - Time: 8 days; - Average: 23° C - 55% RH; - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT 290 gr buds + 50 gr larf. I also collected about 5 grams of finger hash after the trimming session. ✅ CURING Curing is done after 60 days with Boveda 62%. 💯 SMOKE REVIEW After 60 days of curing, buds look frosty and shiny! Due the trichomes stage when I harvested, effects are definitely on the sativa side. After smoking it I feel euphoric and in a good mood, I will smoke it mainly during the day. As for the flavor, I can detect some pungent and earthy notes, very consistent smoke. It reminded me of my years in Germany, when we would drive to Holland to stock up on White Widow 😍

Hey welcome back in the 5th week of flowering with the Dutch Passion’s Colorado Cookies. Last week my fan broke down and I had to order some new bottles of nutrients because the CannaZym and CannaBoost/accelerator had gone empty, but yesterday I received the nutrients and a new fan! Not to long anymore before harvest! I stopped giving the PK booster, from this week on I will decrease the nutrient values for the coming 2 weeks for the last week I will perform a flush (on most of them). The Brooklyn Sunrise and the other 2 Colorado Cookies just need a week or 2 extra. The one Colorado Cookie in the tent is producing so much trichomes/crystals, as you can see in the pictures I made some close up shots. I noticed that the buds start to get a bit to heavy for the plant which is good, volume of the buds is very dense. Thast it for now see you all back next week!

Semana 7 El Scrog comienza a tomar forma y las plantas comienzan a tener un verde mas natural , las plantas reaccionaron bastante bien al apical dándonos un estres de tan solo 3 dias emos aplicado bud fuel 10 días antes de la flora y ahora ultimo se lo aplicamos de manera foliar se a regado con una EC de 800-1200 y un pH de 6,3-6.5 tambien resolvimos la problematica de los hongos con agua oxigenada

Problème potassium

Seedlings are struggling. My guess is it's from over watering substrate with vermiculite in it but I'm not 100% sure. I've been fairly moderate with water. If they were in regular potting mix this amount of water would have been okay. Next time I'll start them in plain potting soil. I also thought that maybe there was a nutrient shortage because I'm using 25% coco coir but actually this seems unlikely. In any case I put a bit of extra soil on top of the pots. Despite the browning off this week the stems are still really strong. I'm still confident they will recover and just need time. The temperature fluctuations of the last week might have had a negative effect.

Have lost momentum with this little one, not gonna lie! Seeing her next to the same cultivar doing way better (no surprise) is a bit of a bummer haha! That being said, her bud looks more compact already, and more colourful. The proof is in the pudding anyway, and I look forward to sampling 😌

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Nach dem Umtopfen ging es direkt weiter mit einem ordentlichen Wachstumsschub – richtig schön anzusehen! Die Pflanzen haben den Wechsel super weggesteckt und legen jetzt ordentlich zu. Alles verläuft bisher nach Plan, ohne nennenswerte Komplikationen. Die Symptome des Calciummangels sind komplett verschwunden – die neuen Blätter sehen gesund und kräftig aus. Offensichtlich zeigt die angepasste Düngung Wirkung. Auch die Thripse scheinen erfolgreich bekämpft worden zu sein. Ich konnte bisher keine neuen Spuren entdecken – hoffentlich bleibt das so. Heute stand noch ein wenig Entlaubung auf dem Programm, um Licht und Luft besser ins Innere der Pflanze zu bringen und die Schimmelgefahr weiter zu minimieren.

Started with some bent which really made side branching take off. I'm just doing leaf tucking, all branches get plenty of light, so no need for bending IMO. One is quite a bit bigger than the other, if this is a fenotype thing or something I did we will never know since the sample is too small to make conclusions... So its the one in the slightly smaller pot that is bigger. Also, I switched positions between both to see if this makes difference... but I never noticed hotspots or such in my earlier grows.... One of my annoyances of small-scale operations is that there is never enough data to be able to make conclusions based in facts. It could always be nature or nurture, because I lack control groups. Maybe my government will someday finally see the backwater retardedness of our way of dealing with cannabis. For now no other option than staying within the law. I like weed and growing but I like my freedom more. The XL Runtz are remarkably resistant and vigorous, with extreme growth in just under three weeks after germination. Beautiful plants and they handle a high light / high organic nute situation from very early on. Coming week I'll just be leaf tucking, no further LST since they are already going into flower. Ill be adding BAC Organic Flower coming days along with my solution of wood ash and perma tea. Also Ill be starting the three 56 ltr growbags to start the three regulars that will run in the same 18 hr lightschedule. And that light, trusty SP-3000, what a machine, what results so far and how reliable so far. She doesn't get too warm at all, just contributes to a nice greenhouse atmosphere without any climate management other than me checking temps and RH. Usually, I need no adjusting, no ventilation, no heating or airco, my system is pretty self-containing and autonomous in the stabile attack where it is. And lets be real, I get results as in grams per watt and per plant that only the 600 watt / Hydroponic guys get. With organic growing, in such small scale with 300 watt. So thank you Mars Hydro again for letting us try it and if you are in the market for a new light check www.mars-hydro.com for their current deals! Thanks all for following again. Hug Bud

Hi everybody this week went okay I noticed she looks a bit hungry so I've risen the PPM to 800 . Ph at6.8 . I had done a second lot of defoliation to enable light to the bud sites. She smells amazing has a very complex terpene profile when I smell her she smells like cookie dough on my fingers then after a few seconds it starts to smell like lemon sherbert then after that I can smell pink grapefruit . It's amazing it's another reason why I germinated another gorilla cookies but in coco. Well that's it for this week thank you for looking at my diary will be update every week. And always keep in mind it's 420 somewhere 👑🌱

Pre98 Bubba , oh how I’ve missed you for so many years! These ones came out absolutely gorgeous! Loving the the purple phenos 😍 ! These ladies liked to stretch quite a bit so you’re gonna want to use some LST on em but I also recommend topping at least 6 times to get a better bang on your yield ! Expect nice tight purple buds with a tremendous amount of frost covering, some of the frostiest Bubba I’ve ever had! Over all I give it 10 stars an would definitely over an over run this strain!

APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER HARVEST WEEK This lady produces golf sized trichome covered buds that had a sweet aroma to her. She's a nice smooth smoke not heavy at all light notes with this lady. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU GANJA FARMER!! APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER

crazy week found drain gnats which explains the green hue of some of my plants the larve are attacking the roots raising the p.h. and the diffecencies are showing in the leaves being lighter and or brown dots on the leaves. using mosquito dunks and spraying neem oil washing the roots to help these ladies out. also im doing things different with the soil vs dwc, i havent done much if any defoliating with potted plants just letting them grow only mainlined once and since in flower very light if any defoliating. any questions comments information feel free to ask or inform im open to critque

Baox plants got topped last week for clone cuttings, so they lost a few inches. I got 5 clones out of the 2 plants. I probably could have cut more, but lets see how these first few turn out first. These girls seem fine since the cuttings.

The 4-week-old plant in the rapid growth phase is a fascinating organism to behold. It's incredible to witness the transformation of a tiny seed into a thriving plant with a sturdy stem, extensive root system, and vibrant green leaves. As the plant enters the rapid growth phase, it seems to come to life, eagerly soaking up sunlight and nutrients to fuel its growth, stretching its leaves towards the sun in the morning. The excitement of watching your plants reach this stage is hard to describe. It's a reminder of the beauty and wonder of nature and the incredible potential of life.
