Day 78-Day 15 of flower for GSC and 19 for GG#4. Did some rearranging in the tent because I ordered a new flowering tent setup. I’m excited to split these two girls off from the auto in the tent and put them under 480Ws. Fed em with 2L of nutrient solution and left it at that. Day 82- After I got the new flowering tent setup I did some defoliation on my girls so they can soak up all that extra light they’re getting now. Just put em under a 480W Ecofarm LED but it’s only at 50% power for now. I’m not supposed to be doing any of this because of the surgery I just had but I just can’t bring myself to wait for someone to come around and set it up for me.

4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside). Clones from my clone guy 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, Jacks RO + dry koolblom and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension Garage grow SoCal Another hot week in the garage averaging 88°. The girls are starting to get fat and enter the ripening stage. Purples are strong. I got purple trichomes!! We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. We switched nutes and reservoir funk is gone. This weeks accomplishments: Switch from GH to Jacks RO Install separate reservoirs for black cherry gelato and purple push pops Clean all autopots and reservoir lines. Install separate lines for black cherry gelato This weeks issues: Spider mites. Found them in the outside grow and found a few leaves with them inside. Big time nightmare. Primarily on the gelatos inside. Doing manual scouting and removal every day. Long term issues It’s hot. High 80s low 90s all week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing the spread of mites and mold issues during high humidity conditions Managing girlfriend expectations through harvest. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my black cherry gelato grow and compare side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows on the same schedule, same nutes and same clone batch 👍

10-8-2024 TOP DRESSING AND WORM TEA..... NOTHING MORE 10-9-2024 22ND DAYS INTO FLOWERING SMELLS CRAZY ON THESE STRAIN GETTING SOME SNOW ON TOP LET'S GO 10-11-2024 DO NOT HAVE ANY PEST BUT JUST IN CASE NATURESGOODGUYS HOOK ME UP WITH LADYBUGS JUST GOT HANGING PATCH ABOUT /WITH SHIPPING 10-14-24 NOTHING TO DO...JUST WATER (PH6.6)AND WATCHING THE PLANTS.......

Day 34. I Topped one of them, and im trying some LST! ;D

Slowly heading into flowering had to put 2 bends on too colad just to keep the canopy firm and open up the side branches ,pulled out few of the bottom leaves 🍁 so to get better air flow ,so far so good ,lets see how she’ll perform into flowering now 💚

Week 10 for Ztrawberry by Greenhouseseedco, Her colour is getting so much better! Look at that darker green coming in with the new growth. Still needing her to toughen up a bit before we get into flower.

Just started at 1/4 strength nutes everything appears to be fine; hand watered every two days until about 20% run off

She spreading her wings definitely a bushy gal super excited seeing her stack all the way down nice and tight just how I like it 👌 ☺️

So this is the week I found out all about PPFD, PAR and LUX, basically all the basic info one needs to understand how lighting works. So I brought down the 300W LED I have down to 18cm from the plants since that's the spot where I get 1000 PPFD. Since I don't have a quantum meter to measure this directly, I instead measured the LUX output of the LED light with a free app on my phone and then converted the LUX to PPFD using an online converter. Also bought real nutes, more specifically the GHE Flora Duo 500ml tri-pack. As a result I also switched up the feeding schedule, so now I'm feeding them every three days, and doing water only every three feeds. A bit late in the process, but hey, first grow! 😅 Finally, the first amber thricomes are showing, yay! 😍

🌿 White Widow – Week 5 Flower (12/12 from Seed) This week marks a very special stage in the journey of our legendary White Widow. She’s fully into flower mode now, and what a sight she is. Her structure remains compact and elegant, but her buds are bulking beautifully. The trichomes are already covering her in a frosty layer, and her pistils stand out with those iconic, vibrant white hairs that give her such presence. Her leaves are a deep, rich green, almost darker than the sisters around her. This makes me wonder if she might show us some darker expressions as the weeks progress. It’s one of those fascinating mysteries of White Widow, you never really know until she decides to reveal it. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition This week’s recipe combines Plagron and Aptus inputs, working hand in hand: • Plagron • Power Buds → flower formation boost • Sugar Royal → metabolism & terpene support • Green Sensation → bulking, quality, and finishing power • Aptus • All-in-One Liquid → full-spectrum base feed • CalMag Boost → structural support & deficiency prevention • Regulator → stress resistance & nutrient uptake enhancer 💡 Even though the super soil is reading around 5.75 NPK and already contains nutrients, we’re boosting her further because this girl is on a 12/12 (11/13) from seed shuttle. Her timeline is faster, so we want to see how far she can go and what she can take without stress. This is a balancing act, pushing her potential while respecting her limits. ⸻ ⚖️ 12/12 from Seed vs. Normal Veg + Flower Cycle For those joining now, here’s why White Widow looks the way she does: • Normal Cycle (Veg + Flower): • Weeks of 18/6 light first → plants grow tall, with big root systems. • 12/12 flip triggers stretch → often 2–3× size increase. • 12/12 (or 11/13) from Seed: • No long veg phase → plant stays smaller and more compact. • Buds start forming early → less size, but quicker cycles. • Ideal for experiments, time-saving, or small grows. 👉 Our White Widow is a prime example: compact frame, dense cola, side branches forming golf-ball buds. Small in stature, but already showing big personality. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Temperature: ~28–30°C • Humidity: ~57–60% • VPD: ~1.3–1.9 kPa • Light: Balanced spectrum & PPFD, designed for resin production & compact growth She has stayed stress-free despite the warm climate, showing her resilience. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not to Expect) Expect: • Buds bulking even further, stacking on that main cola and side branches. • Trichomes and frost building up week after week. • Aromas starting to get stronger as resin production increases. Not to Expect: • Major vertical stretch → she has chosen her form and will stay compact. • Quick finish → White Widow is a classic that takes her time to do things right. ⸻ 🗓️ Timeline Recap – From Seed to Week 5 Flower • Week 1: Germination → mistakes with the heat mat, but one strong survivor carried the torch. • Week 2: Settled into soil, fed gently while super soil activated. • Week 3: Compact growth, strong nodes, and healthy green structure. • Week 4: Transition into flower → bud sites forming, frost beginning. • Week 5 (Now): Full flower mode → trichomes sparkling, pistils shining, cola building beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Community • 🌱 Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics. • 💧 Appreciation to Aptus and Plagron for powering this run with balanced nutrition. • 💡 Shout-out to the gear teams supporting the light and control setup. • ❤️ And, as always, gratitude to you — the community.

🌾 Week 14 – Lavado de raíces, defoliación final y recta final. Está semana 14 marca una etapa decisiva en este cultivo para la Dognabiscup. Entramos ya en la recta final, con las plantas muy próximas a su punto óptimo de maduración. Esta semana el enfoque está puesto en limpiar, ordenar y dejar que la planta termine su ciclo de forma natural. Se ha iniciado el lavado de raíces de manera progresiva para eliminar restos de sales y nutrientes acumulados en el sustrato, favoreciendo una maduración más limpia, mejor expresión de terpenos y un perfil final más puro. 🌿 Defoliación ligera y selectiva Durante esta semana también se ha realizado una pequeña defoliación estratégica, muy controlada y sin excesos. El objetivo no ha sido forzar la planta, sino: Eliminar hojas grandes que ya no aportaban fotosíntesis eficiente. Mejorar la penetración de luz en zonas medias y bajas Aumentar la ventilación entre cogollos, reduciendo riesgo de humedad. Facilitar el acceso visual para el seguimiento de tricomas. Esta defoliación se ha hecho respetando al máximo la estructura natural de cada planta, sin estrés ni podas agresivas, entendiendo que en esta fase la prioridad es madurar, no crecer. 🌿 Permanent Marker – Fotodependientes: Las Permanent Marker están mostrando un nivel de resina muy elevado, con tricomas bien desarrollados y una transición clara hacia estados lechosos, apareciendo ya los primeros ámbar en las flores superiores. Los pistilos están mayoritariamente oxidados y los cogollos se sienten firmes y compactos, señal de una floración bien llevada. Tras el lavado y la defoliación, la planta queda centrada únicamente en terminar la maduración de las flores, sin distracciones ni bloqueos nutricionales. 🌱 Jealousy Diesel – Autoflower: Las Jealousy Diesel siguen su propio ritmo, algo más pausado, pero con un desarrollo muy equilibrado. El engorde final continúa y la producción de resina es evidente. Aunque aún necesitan algo más de tiempo que las fotodependientes, responden muy bien tanto al lavado como a la defoliación ligera, manteniéndose sanas y estables. Aquí la clave está siendo respetar el tempo de la genética, sin apresurar el final. 🔬 Control técnico de la semana: • Lavado de raíces progresivo. • Defoliación ligera y selectiva. • Ambiente estable sin cambios bruscos. • Temperatura y humedad controladas. • Sin signos de estrés ni carencias. • Prioridad total a maduración y calidad. 📆 Estado actual: Tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos, con aparición de ámbar. Pistilos en fase avanzada de oxidación. Flores densas y bien formadas. Producción de resina muy marcada. Aunque el cultivo está ya muy avanzado, todavía se sigue observando evolución diaria, especialmente en tricomas y aroma, por lo que el plan es acompañar estos últimos días con paciencia y precisión. 🎯 Próximo paso: La siguiente semana será clave para: -Evaluar tricomas con lupa/macro. -Decidir el momento exacto de corte. Todo el trabajo, el amor, la pasión y la constancia por fin terminan de dar sus frutos 😍. Los terpenos están siendo impresionantes, dulces, cítricos, empalagosos, potentes, muy difícil de describir. Tengo ya muchísimas ganas de cosecharlas ✨❤️.

Switched the autoflowers to another tent to give them 300 watts of led everything is growing fine

Man, it's been a crazy week. These past few days have been brutal – seriously cold with this crazy humidity. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the chills and the way my skin feels all sticky. It's been a struggle, but I'm finally getting on top of things. I think I've figured out a good routine to dry things out around here, so hopefully, I'll be feeling a lot more comfortable soon. My gas tax plant's looking absolutely incredible. The buds are gonna be huge, I can already tell. It's got this insane amount of crystals too, which is always a good sign. I love the shape of the leaves, they're so tiny. And guess what? I've got over a hundred seeds from that plant, so I'm definitely going to grow a bunch of them and see which ones turn out the best.

Week two is upon us ! I have a new pocket size humidifier and it works great!! The low temperatures of my nights already bring out some purple on the leaves. Im pleased to see this so early in its lifespan. Although i have to be careful not to stunt her with too cold nights. I mixed a 1/4 of the recommended dose of nutrients for her first feeding. By doing so im reducing the risk of nutrients burn. To be honest i will get a few burnt tips on the firs set of leaves but id rather have a bit too much then less at this stage. The first leaves will drop first so i wont mind them being less attractive. The internode distance is good for a indica so far and i am pleased of the results so far. The glasses i use are yellow tinted and apparently they do a good job at correcting the colours for spotting deficiencies

Tutti hanno una piantina preferita, questa è la mia 😎

Vegetative Week 6 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This week confirms a full recovery in vegetative growth. The plant clearly regained vigor and momentum. Growth is strong, foliage is dense, and overall structure looks healthy. Internodal spacing is noticeably tight, resulting in a very compact and bushy plant. This could be influenced by the full-spectrum lighting, which appears to promote dense vegetative development. Although topping or defoliation was considered, no structural work was done this week. The priority is to let the plant continue growing naturally and fully stabilize before any training or shaping. Nutrition remains unchanged from the previous week. The nutrient solution is maintained around EC 1.4–1.5, with pH close to 6.0. The plant is responding well, showing no signs of deficiency or stress. While some time was lost earlier in the cycle due to initial issues, the delay is clearly less significant than in the previous run. Progress has improved, and this recovery phase highlights areas to refine in future germination and early-stage management. This week ends on a positive note. The plant looks healthy again, and the focus moving forward is simply to let her grow and maintain consistency. See you next week. Take care. -Update: 04/02/26- •Structural work update: Today, a full structural intervention was carried out on the plant. Defoliation, topping, and pruning were all done in one session. The plant had become too bushy and overly dense, with poor airflow and excessive humidity trapped inside the canopy. To correct this, the structure was reset: four lateral branches were selected and kept, while the main apexes were topped to start defining the future shape of the plant. At this stage, the goal was not refinement but foundation. This intervention marks the beginning of the plant’s final structure, or at least the first clear step toward it. A significant amount of foliage was removed, leaving the plant with much less leaf mass than before. The work is now finished, and no further cutting is planned for the moment. From here, the plant will simply be left to recover from the stress of this heavy intervention. The focus now shifts to recovery, stability, and healthy regrowth.

planted in July it started to grow uniformly with very fragrant leaves of Sicilian lemon peel you can smell the citrus notes in the pre-flowering leaves I enjoyed its very fresh zkitty phenotype which tended between the sour green apple and the gaseous lemon the variety is particularly susceptible at high temperatures and is the only one that on the fourth day without water this summer literally twisted its leaves on itself variety that had some problems with leaf problems but the yield was excellent with rock hard buds! THE AMAZING TERPENES THE BEST IN THE WHOLE GARDEN. GROWING SCENTS: green apple organic citrus peel TERPENES: THOSE WHO SMOKE THEM ARE STUNNING.🙌🙌😍 the complexity and flavor of zsrawberry begins with a very deep hit of hearty heavy spicy smoke which soon reveals itself as a fresh lemon zest surrounded by nutmeg spice followed immediately by the sweetness and fruit of zkitty swallowed the smoke closes with a note of completeness of the three perfectly balanced flavors that tends towards diesel, strawberry spice and a dream of blackberries and redcurrant fruit salad, lemon peel with an acid finish and a round spice of aged jam😵😭😭😍
