85 Days from germination to harvest! Sorry for the lack of accurate information. Just some pics from finish. Honestly- I never finished the diary so I’m leaving it as is. Was extra sweet and pungent and especially extra frosty. Not to mention fast!

Buds are bulking up and getting denser, looking nice and frosty. Had to tie a few branches as they were getting top heavy. No problem though they are going strong💪. Zkittles OG is standing out and has a nice structure I would definately recommend. Few more weeks then ripen and flush.

Thank you. Gave her a cocktail to help with stress. Added 1st net for lateral support, not so much now, but for later. Blue light is absorbed by photoreceptor proteins called phototropins, which trigger a hormonal response that causes cells on the shaded side to elongate, making the plant bend toward the light. Try and fill this side a little. She is quite big already, just needs to find her stride again after the undue torture. The mind is constantly working and producing, just like a factory. It's not just a passive recipient of information but an active producer of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. The "ingredients" in this factory are the information you consume, such as books, conversations, and the media you engage with. The "products" are your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The quality of the ingredients directly influences the quality of the output. To guard the door of your mind means to be selective about what you allow in. It involves actively choosing to consume positive and constructive information while filtering out negativity and harmful influences. If you don't guard your mind, others can "dump" whatever they want into it, leading to undesirable results in your life. You must take responsibility for the inputs to ensure you produce the outcomes you desire. 5 apex stems with 20-30 mini cola, let them develop a little, with the apical dominance shattered, all those 20-30 will all compete with each other as soon as that stretch is initiated. Key to a good stretch is making sure the plant is cycling efficiently, with large ATP conversions occurring lights out. For now, I'm keeping light intensity high. A plant will slow its vertical growth in very high light intensities, leading to a more compact form with thicker stems and leaves. This response is a protective mechanism against light stress, which can damage the photosynthetic apparatus and lead to symptoms like leaf scorching, yellowing, and brittleness. Instead of growing taller, the plant invests its energy into creating a more robust, stress-tolerant structure. Providing plants with necessary antioxidants helps protect the photosynthetic apparatus by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage from excess light. UV light exposure can impact the xanthophyll cycle by either enhancing its photoprotective role or causing damage, depending on the intensity and type of UV radiation. UV exposure can trigger the synthesis of more xanthophyll cycle pigments to increase the plant's capacity to dissipate excess energy, but it can also cause direct damage, particularly to Photosystem II, and may lead to a decrease in the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) which indicates a reduced capacity to dissipate excess energy. Plants can respond to UV stress by increasing the synthesis of xanthophyll cycle pigments, such as violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, to improve their photoprotective capacity. UV-induced changes in xanthophyll cycle pigments can be linked to a plant's overall tolerance to high radiation stress. The xanthophyll cycle helps protect against photoinhibition, which is especially important when the plant is exposed to high levels of both UV and visible light. High doses of UV radiation can directly damage photosynthetic components, including the proteins, lipids, and pigments in the thylakoid membranes. Exposure to UV radiation can have a mixed effect on the de-epoxidation state (DEPS ratio) of the xanthophyll cycle pigments. In some cases, UV can inhibit the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, resulting in a lower DEPS ratio and a reduced capacity for energy dissipation. However, the total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments may increase, and this enhanced pool size could provide a greater potential for photoprotection despite a lower DEPS ratio. The xanthophyll cycle works alongside other mechanisms, such as the accumulation of flavonoids (UV screens), to protect the plant from UV-induced damage. Blue light repairs 100% UV-induced damage in plants through a process called photoreactivation, which uses a light-dependent enzyme called photolyase. This enzyme uses energy from blue and UV-A light to directly reverse the damaging pyrimidine dimers in the DNA caused by UV-B radiation, a key mechanism for maintaining the plant's genetic integrity. After carbon, light, water, temperature, and nutrients, the limiting factor of a plant's growth is often its own internal factors or the amount of a key ingredient. Chlorophyll concentration is one such factor, as the amount of this pigment limits how much light can be captured for photosynthesis. Other factors include chloroplast number, respiration rate, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as plants are often in a CO2-deficient condition. 60x60x18=64800seconds x 700 = 45,360,000moles. 45DLI Exposure to 165 µW/cm² of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light for 3600 seconds = 1 hour, a extremely high, acute dose triggering stress responses and protective mechanisms. . The plant's photoreceptor protein, UVR8, senses the UV-B radiation. This triggers a signaling cascade that activates specific genes to protect the plant from damage. In response to the UV-B signal, the plant ramps up the biosynthesis of protective compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds absorb UV radiation and accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves to shield inner photosynthetic tissues. The plant may increase leaf thickness or deposit more cuticular wax, creating a physical barrier to the radiation. The plant will produce more enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to neutralize the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the UV-B radiation. The plant activates enzymes, including photolyases, to repair DNA damage caused by the UV-B. These repair mechanisms are critical for preventing permanent genetic mutations. While protective measures are activated, a high dose delivered over a short period can cause stress that overwhelms the plant's defenses. Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to UV-B. A high dose can inactivate Photosystem II (PSII), damage thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, and reduce chlorophyll content, which lowers the plant's overall photosynthetic capacity. Despite repair mechanisms, high UV-B doses can inflict persistent damage on the plant's DNA. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative stress, leading to the oxidation of lipids and proteins and disrupting cellular function. I am playing in the enchanted forest.

**Week 8 - September 7 to 13, 2020 - Days 50 to 56 from germination****** Getting closer tho the finish line and it was a good week. Pushing them harder now for feeding as there aren’t many feed days left. Trying not to pull the feed too early this run as I want to give these girls every chance they can get to fatten up. Been an interesting run🤪 Suspect I am looking at 11 weeks on these girls........they may ripen sooner though.......so will likely feed through week 9 and think I might use Flawless Finish this run as they will all finish at different times and it may happen more suddenly than expected. This strain has a fair bit of Sativa in it and I see it in the narrow blade fan leaves and the time she has taken to start swelling. Trichome production is a little slow but starting now. The next two weeks I expect to be the fun ones and will see how these phenos do with ripening. Kept the feedings light and watering a little too light I think this run. Should have got a little more CalMag in them and also increased the waterings to runoff. In the earlier weeks I was holding back on the watering wanting to help avoid too much nitrogen going into bloom. They needed to be up to two and three litre daily feedings sooner than week 7 for example, coco coir😃 This caused some deficiency in mid flower. Learning experience here was to keep up the watering volumes, because of pure coco, but reduce the ppm if needed.......I reduced both☹️ There are three girls that are going to make it to harvest and obviously LAK1 is going to yield well and the others will be less........keep them happy to the end because quantity doesn’t matter as much as quality😃 Next auto girls are not going to face the same issues👍 Little more detail: Sept 7/20 - Day 50 - Terpinator @ 3ml, Big Bud & Liquid Weight & Rezin & CalMag @ 1.5ml - 565ppm and 5.8pH - LAK1 - 2.5L, LAK2 and LAK3 - 1.5L - Sept 8/20 - Day 51 - LAK1 ONLY - 3L - CalMag @ 2ml/L, Vitathrive @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L - 775ppm and 5.8pH - The other girls were on a dry out day. - Sept 9/20 - Day 52 - Plain water only today - LAK1 - 3L, LAK2 - 1.5L, LAK3 - 1.5L - Sept 10/20 - Day 53 - Overdrive @ 2ml, Rezin @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml - 650ppm and 5.9pH - LAK1 - 2.5L, LAK2 - 1L, LAK3 - 1L - Sept 12/20 - Day 55 - Terpinator @3ml, Overdrive, Enzymes K., Rezin, Liquid Weight, CalMag @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml - 1110ppm and 5.9pH - LAK1 - 4L, LAK2 - 3L, LAK3 - 4L - Heavy watering for all the girls. Sept 13/20 - Day 56 - Terpinator @3ml, Overdrive, Rezin, Liquid Weight, Vita, CalMag, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 1125ppm and 5.8pH - 3L for LAK1, 2L for each of the other girls......lots of runoff from all......they were still wet. (I have been working on cleaning up some bottles from different nutrient lines😃........certainly not giving everything listed in a single feeding) Getting caught up on the missing weeks in backwards fashion :) Wanted to keep up with the current week. Get the two missing weeks in here soon.

Woche 6 – Stretch des Todes & Kontrolle behalten Diese Woche hatte es richtig in sich. Der Stretch ist komplett eskaliert – vor allem bei der Blueberry und der GMO. Beide haben in nur einer Woche rund +40 cm hingelegt. Direkt dahinter kommt die Hyperion, die ebenfalls ordentlich Gas gibt. Runtz und Purple Punch bleiben dagegen ihrem Stil treu: kompakt, buschig und kontrollierbar – perfekter Kontrast im Raum. Trotz des starken Wachstums konnte ich das Canopy sauber ausgleichen. Alle Pflanzen stehen jetzt auf einer Höhe und laufen stabil bei etwa 40 cm Abstand zur Lampe, was aktuell perfekt funktioniert. Beim Gießen zeigen sich klare Unterschiede: Die Blueberry ist weiterhin extrem durstig und zieht den Topf schnell leer, während Purple Punch deutlich weniger braucht. Das Handling der 15L Töpfe läuft inzwischen richtig präzise. Untenrum habe ich weiter aufgeräumt, damit die Energie gezielt in die Tops geht. Die Struktur ist jetzt schön luftig und fokussiert auf die Hauptbuds. 👉 Fazit: Massiver Stretch, saubere Kontrolle und eine sehr homogene Fläche – genau so soll’s in der Blüte aussehen

First time trying this strain and seed company. I have an Altoids box that i lined with sand paper (120 git) i shake my seed(s) for about 30 seconds to a minute in the box. I then soak them in water for about 15-18 hours. When done soaking i put the seeds on a plate with paper towels until i get a tap root that is atleast 1/8" prefer 1/4". Then at that point i put them in a Jiffy Pod until about 1.5 - 2.0 inches.

Commencing Day 36/Week 6 on November 28th D36 Still slow and steady growing. Some much more slow and steady than others. I am hoping by the end of this week or by sometime next week I can flip to 12/12 and get cuttings. My goal is medium/small size plants with medium sized yields and to hopefully 🤞 find at least one keeper of the bunch. Reason being I have a lot going on and want to see whats the best I can get with light work load. Bigger plants=bigger work loads. I also noticed the Boss Hogg1 must be Canadian 😄 one of the leafs is a maple leaf shape with no finger separation (aka duck foot mutation 🦆; see photo). This is the same plant I called a Purple Tarantula in one of the earlier weeks. Definitely a freak. Day37 Filled all buckets till water line was bubbling into net pot. Filled with oxygenated &(dechlorinated) house water. Added 10ml Clonex per bucket. Some needed pH but not much on .2 off from 5.8. ppm is around 800-900. Leaving lights on again overnight. (Cold front coming). Day 38 Added 5ml Cal Mag to each bucket. Added more fresh water to bring PPM back down to 800. pH sitting around 5.9 Noticed 818 Headband was hiding a tiny clover friend. I'll keep it there for now. Maybe find a four leafed clover for good luck 🤞 Also noticed that the sativas phenos are being picky eaters compared to the rest. Also noticed the 818 is catching up a little more. Definitely a nice healthy steady growth. Just quite a bit slower then the Gorilla Zkittles. Lastly tonight the plants will go into 14 on 10 off. This is to induce stretching (they are sooooooooo short; due to 8 on 4 off light schedule) and maybe preflowering also. Won't be long!😄👍 Day 42 Few days in the new light shedule is working great. Plants seem to be getting ready for me 👍 I've also switched the plants around to accommodate the grow a little better (ie in order of size) The 818's and Raspberry is catching up slowly to the GZ giants. (& looking great 😄) but man these GZs are thirsty girls, they drink the ppm and water levels in one day what the others take in 3 or 4. Needless to say I've been pHing everyday basically and adding water and light nutes to keep around 800ppm and 5.8pH. maybe only mentionable is that the GZs needed more nutes (ppms dropped about 200ppm to 600 in two days) and pH balancing (pH shot up to 6.2 in two days) than the others. I'm getting anxious to flip and cut. The GZs are right where I want them. The others, not yet. I'll have to find a happy medium where the runts are at least so big with out letting the GZs get too big. Thank you for reading and watching

I made a time-lapse while I was away for weeks 6-9. I had a helper water, and its interesting to see the plants sway with the watering cycles. Too bad I didn't continue this through flower. Maybe next time.

I didn't record the temps this week. I watered these about 3 gallons per pot per day. It was very cool this week. The high temp was averaging upper 50's F. Low temps were upper 30's lower 40's. Day 4 around 6 a.m. the temperature was 26°F and there was heavy frost on the ground. When I check on the plants about 7 a.m. they didn't have frost on them and were fine. These girls really did well. They didn't require and canopy maintenance. I topped way back and never had to tie up the branches or support in any kind of way. They were exposed to really strong wind that laid other plants over and bent branches that didn't recover. I'd recommend these for outdoors. The powdery mildew was manageable and the only maintenance these required. They did want to eat a lot and my wife was managing this by herself. I think we could have fed more and made bigger colas, but they did well regardless. The smell of these is special. They're very loud and have a watermelon note. 🤤🤤🤤
