Beginning of week...
So the ladies are beginning to stack pistils at the crowns.. The Mandarin Cookies has been stacking a little quicker.. Thicker.. They both are showing purple tips on the stiples.. Not the pistils or leaves.. The stiples.. ETHOS Cookies has been showing that for ever now.. The Mandarin Cookies has just started showing these purple tipped stiples.. Gorgeous plants.. Even tho Mandarin Cookies is super freakishly tall and stretchy.. And the ETHOS Cookies is basically a runt.. Doesn't want to make ANY stems.. But plenty of leaves lol.. She should be able to hold up some super fat colas pretty easily tho so that's awesome! I stopped using the Armor Si and the FloraGro.. As well as the MYCO Plus (powder) stuff.. Also going down on the FloraMicro.. Just basically using 1 tsp/gallon of the CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and Kushie Kush.. 30 drops/gallon of the Floralicous Plus (not sure if that's too much to be honest).. 2 tsp/gallon of the FloraNectar Fruit-N-Fusion and last but not least... 2 mL/gallon of Hydroguard... *phew*.. Damn that's alot.. But that's alot less then what I was giving these girls... They should do alot better..
Mid week...
I have defoliated the ETHOS Cookies a bit more.. Mostly trying to make sure there is good airflow and no larfy producing branches in there.. She should produce some really nice colas with how short and stubby she is lol.. As for the Mandarin Cookies, I've just been supercropping the shit outta the really tall branches.. I've never supercropped a plant so much lol.. And I'm not good at it at all.. Most of the branches are split open, bruised.. Just very crappy looking.. It will heal, they always do 😂 I just hate hurting them like this.. Especially in flower.. But it's still pretty early in flower.. And the pistils are still exploding just as much as the non-supercropped branches.. I can't wait!!!...
End of week..
Both girls are exploding with trichomes! I love these super frosted strains! The ETHOS Cookies seems to be stackin calyxes faster than the Mandarin Cookies.. I can tell the ETHOS Cookies is gonna stack some fat ass colas! The ETHOS Cookies runoff is doing good.. pH going in is 6.2 - 6.3 and runoff is usually 6.0 - 6.2.. Foliage is nice and green.. She may be nitrogen sensitive deeper into flower.. Maybe not.. We shall see.. As for the Mandarin Cookies.. Wow.. This girl is super tall.. She is also stackin calyxes, pistils and nicely. The runoff is still giving me issues but as far as I can tell, she is accepting it and making the best of what she has. Going in pH is 6.2 - 6.3.. Runoff is coming out 5.6 - 5.7.. It's bothering the shit outta me! Lol.. It doesn't seem to matter what pH I put in, it will ALWAYS runoff at 5.6 - 5.7 pH.. But like I said.. She is accepting it as long as I keep the "in" pH in my preferred range.. I usually keep the "going in" pH at 6.1 - 6.3 the ENTIRE grow.. I always get great results doing this.. Its best for Calcium uptake and Calcium is a huge issue when it comes to growing in coco coir.. Anyways.. Both ladies are doing great.. Both look gorgeous and healthy.. Oh yeah!! I like to rub the trichomes to get a little idea of what the terpenes are gonna be like.. And hoooooly shit.. ETHOS Cookies smells like nothing I've ever smelled before.. I can't even begin to explain it.. Literally.. And the Mandarin Cookies is starting to give off a nice citrusy scent.. I hope this carbon filter is able to scrub the air enough.. Cuz if these are anything like the Early Lemon Berry, then yeah, this carbon filter is gonna be put thru the ultimate test lol.. Anyways.. On to the next week!....

The plants are large enough for low stress training I also decided to add advanced nutrients three-component fertilizer ph perfect
As you can see in the main photo, the lower branches are small and underdeveloped due to the lack of light in the greenhouse
I therefore decided to bend the plant more than is healthy in order to achieve greater development from the lower branches
I noticed that some plants are small and undeveloped, and I saw holes and moles
It was clear that something was eating the roots of the plant from below
While working on low stress training, a mole ran out of the hole and started burrowing to another plant
I really like animals, but I had to quickly decide what to do with the mole
I pinned him to the ground with my foot and stuck a stick behind his head :( that I have as a support for low stress training
I'm very sorry for the mole, I've never killed such a big animal...
May mother earth forgive me...
The next day I saw a vole crawling into a hole near a plant, so I decided to buy a mouse trap
I put a carrot in the trap and the hunt was successful
I am the alpha predator in my garden...
At the same time, while digging holes, I saved about 20 caterpillars that fell down and could not climb out
It turned out that caterpillars are a very rare butterfly that almost never occurs
I really like butterflies, when I take a picture of them on my plants I attach a photo from last season

I fed the plants 75% nutrients for it's very last feeding although 6 or more leaves are showing signs of nitrogen deficiency but the buds are still growing, all signs show that I think they need 2 more weeks. Most pistols are amber, and a few new pistols still grow from the tops or sides of each bud. New sugar leaf growth on the tops look more rounded.
The trichomes on the oldest sugar leaves have turned amber, less so on middle and top. Trichomes on the buds range from appearing clear, cloudy and milky, but not amber.
I want the trichomes on the buds to be anywhere between 10-30% amber.

My experience overall can be best described as an interesting enlightening process. Since it was my first time growing it was definitely a learning experience. From the height being as tall as it was to the high winds in the area making it difficult to keep them from toppling when the buds were reaching full maturity. Thinking it would have benefited from more topping than just the once. The terps that this strain has are exquisite!! I am going to miss walking by them towering over me and just breathing in their berry cream aroma, taking in the sweetness like I had just had some dessert. Really enjoyed this strain and hope to grow it again sometime. Thanks for checking out my first grow 🌼💚✌️

Day 84 from seed
Each auto is in different flowering weeks
So post is sorta confusing as my first diary
Sorry!
Everything seems to be doing good.
Just been feeding water since last update.
I will have new lights soon 4800 evo from mars hydro 2024 version planning to harvest the GDP before switching the lights out.
Day 87 swapped the light to the mars hydro 4800 evo 2024 model running 40-50 percent 12-20 inch from cannopies adjusting them slowly to new light and much higher pffd than before

Buenas noches familia, siento el retraso fue un día largo pero sigue siendo viernes.
Pues ya estamos en la recta final y esta noche tiraremos el lavado de raíces.
Están formando buenas flores, y desprenden un agradable olor.
Nuestras northern light xL No están compactando mucho pero si empezaron a explotar.
Una semana sin productos ya.
Ph 6,5 todavía regulamos hasta el final el ph.
(IMPORTANTE) cambiar bombilla pal siguiente cultivo.😂
Nos vemos la semana que viene.

Drei Eiswasser Spülungen und etwas kühlere Nachttemperaturen haben zwar etwas an der FarbeRichtung bläulich geändert, allerdings blieb das erwartete Purple vollständig aus.
Die Blüten sind sehr klebrig und der Duft ist deutlich aber nicht besonders intensiv.
In der letzten Woche habe ich einige männliche Blüten heraus geknipst und mir sind auch ein paar Samen aufgefallen. Das selbe Problem hatte auch meine Hindu Kush.
An Tag 97 habe ich die Pflanze nach 48 Stunden Dunkelheit abgeschnitten und kopfüber aufgehängt.

🌺🌿 Week 2: The Blossom Ballet! 😅
The second week of Flower unfolds, and our girls show no signs of slowing down—it's growth on steroids! 😅
Individual Progress:
🌱 #2: A bit of an eager beaver, #2 ventured into flowering a tad earlier, resulting in a slightly smaller stature compared to its companions.
🌱 #3 & #4: A synchronized duo, trailing a few days behind #2, they're catching up at their own pace.
🌱 #1: Taking its time to savor the pre-flowering moments, #1 lags almost a week behind the early bloomer, #2.
Blossoming Dynamics:
It's a mesmerizing dance of growth dynamics, each plant following its unique rhythm. As they weave and twirl through the second week of Flower, the garden becomes a canvas of varied heights and stages.
The stage is set for a blooming ballet, and the anticipation for the individual personalities of #1 - #4 to unfold is nothing short of captivating! 🚀🍊🌸

Lst on two plants.
Leaving one to grow without any training method.
She's doing good.
D 31-received the mars hydro 2000w. Will be replacing the 1000w
D 33-will let these girls grow without any more training.

Начинаю тренировку растения 💪
Пару дней не заглядывал в бокс, от растяжки надломилась ветка в верхнем междоузлии. Не паникую(мы же на расслабоне гровим 😜), надломил до хруста противоположную ветку, для симметрии, и временно убрал растяжки. Ну вот, планировал не мучать свой автоцвет, но пока не выходит 😈
В конце недели собираюсь делать плановую промывку.
👉Таки доделал досвет низов по периметру, ближе к началу цветения будем тестировать, оставайтесь на связи.
Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏
Продолжение следует ...😶

🌱 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 😍

The bud-ignitor is doing what it's supposed to do, Buds are already forming on the cherry's @ day 8. Switching to Canna terra flores next week and stop using the bud-ignitor, also i gonna introduce Budfactor X @ the end of the week. Also when the stretch phase is over i gonna do a defol and lollipop again cause it's getting crowded lol

Well I had a few issues with PM this grow again. This showed up in my previous grow and the spores obviously stuck around and decided to effect this grow as well. For my next grow I'll try heat stressing the tent by pacing a heater in the tent and raising the temp to over 32C for an hour or more while closely monitoring it. I believe the seeds sprouted due to the fact that my previous plant hermed on me and I think a few nanners popped in the tent, so there must have been some rogue pollen in there.
She grows quite fast and vigorously in Veg so stay active with training if you are performing that on your GoG plant. I fed her slightly light in the last 6 weeks or so in Flower with good response. I would say to keep your EC levels in check if growing with salts in coco. She seemed to react very positively to pinching and bending on the main stalk and really filled out when I did that. Same with topping. Side branching is very good. My particular pheno here had a higher leaf to calyx ratio so trimming was a bit tedious.
The high is nice, it's a good hybrid strain. Would def grow again.

What a crazy hot week I’m happy the flowering light is now off it’s helping with the ac not running constantly. Also a perfect time to dry buds when the ac is blasting all day.

Hi all
What a great week it has been for the Zammi girls this week. I flipped them to flowering two days after my last entry. They had reached a good point for my space to make sure that I have the airflow and light coverage to endure the mains could all benefit. The results of the H.s.t/Quad training has been successful and I now have multi merristems ( mains) of equal position . This will now hopefully feed them all the benefits that the main usually gets and ensure lots of chunky colas with very little popcorn to waste energy on.
Bruce Banner #3 is performing brilliantly. I did lose the snapped and repaired f.i.m but the crown of mains ( 8) and the single one left in the middle will be a great foundation for the next stage of their life. This lady has not missed a beat from the Germination and is showing the breeding experience that has produced it too. No signs of any issues at all so far.
Candy Rain although a lot smaller than her cousins from Zammi is beginning to catch up very nicely with 4 very chunky looking mains forming. The last next week of stretch should give her a very nice shape and structural strength for some fat colas too. Her colour and vigour is excellent and the rips are putting out so e very nice energy too.
Jealousy #1 is really enjoying the chance to push as many of her branches to light as possible with the opening up of her natural growing structure. Plenty of in-fighti g to be the main stem which is a benefit and her overall size and appearance is excellent. #2 has really been a shock with the size of some of her fan leaves ( see pic) She has a few huge I es that will be grabbing so many lumens to convert that I will be sad to defoliate them . She is really fighting to impress over her sister it seems and her overall size is just a little smaller than #1. They have plenty of lower stem growth with fairly short node lengths that will form up to make some very long thick colas hopefully.
Seeing how well these girls have filled the space and the nice even canopy that is still uniform after a weeks stretch , I think I will need to defoliate at day 21 of flowering to make sure they don't get too close together and stop the cool fresh air from circulating through them all. We are just warming up in the UK so I thinkni will need to also keep check on room temps and humidity more now too. Hope the video is useful to someone out there and I hope you can continue to follow along as we go. Be safe and well.
