What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student ๐Ÿ˜‚. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฝ. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % ๐Ÿ˜…. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฝ. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing ๐Ÿค— The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฝ. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining โ˜”๏ธ.

Week 5 day 1. I have a favourite for next run. Iโ€™m very happy, I havenโ€™t really defoliated at all this grow, just letting it grow. Wish I was going for mains(topping) but still very good. Going to wait around week 9 so seeds will be good for next run. I have decided to do very hard hst next round to show max potential. Very happy with supercropping so will do it very heavy with scrog. I will try to reveg the one I really like but it is difficult having only 1 set of lights and 1 tent. Plants are about 7ft tall, might just run 2 next round in 4x8 or will still continue to go 4 in the 4x8.

Green Cure CBD Auto germinated and has sprouted easily. Every seed I started all germinated. So she is getting acclimated, and should start growing very soon. Everything is looking good. I did provide a light feed to help with ph stability in coco. She is off to a good start.

Well damn thats a big bush lol. The one next to it looks so tiny but is at par with were my plants usually are at this stage with the type of training I've done lol. If it wasn't for its mass I'd probably still go one more week but because of king Kong over there I'm switching to 12/12 tomorrow lol. Today is the last day of veg and the first day of flower is to come. If it goes a full 8 to 9 weeks I'll be looking at a March harvest. If that's the case I might be able to squeeze in a quick auto flower grow before the family summer vacation lol. The temperature has been getting warmer outside and the night time temperature hasn't been to bad. The humidity has been stay around 50% all week and thats were id like to keep it but we're expecting a lot of rain over the next few weeks so we'll see how well that works. I picked up 2 more temperature hydrometer meters with probes for the room. And with all the fans the air movement in the room has been great. Humidity and temperature is the same in every corner of the 8x9 room. I switched the lights from 24/0 to 18/6 this last week to get them ready for the approaching 12/12 light schedule. And because that is tomorrow I lowered the lights down so that tomorrow I just have to turn the lights up. I also emptied my tank and refilled it with the nutrients for flower so that the treys can empty a bit before I add all the new nutrients. I filled all the trays before I turned it all off so they would have enough for the night. Well that's all for now, happy growing and happy new years!!! Keep it growing!!!

So the second seed of Ze Chem Bang is struggling. It has been growing slowly. It's my last seed so hopefully it roots the solution soon. It will have a much better chance of survival once it does. It can go either way at this point. The rock wool has gotten already growth from being wet for too long. So ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป it goes well.

Hello guys Welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ Today we are at the end of week 11 from seed with this five , KALINI ASIA ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹ Like you probably already know.. This diary it's for the Zamnesia Spring Cup ๐Ÿ† I'm growing all seeds Zamnesia has provide us for try to show how this strain can grow in different ways. The substrate will be the same light-mix soil mix with cocco and some one with humus The nutrients and the cultivation techniques will be different for each one So , I have reported down below what I do and I will do every week for the next few months.. The 5 ways ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒต๐ŸŽ„ PS (Things I have and I still use in flowering , I have put for all five down below ๐Ÿ‘‡, because are mostly the same) K # โ€‹โ€‹1 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 30cm Is the lady where I have use all the things ZAMNESIA was provide to us for free๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ ( I will spend more words about it when I post the harwest) _11l ZAMNESIA-POT _70g MONSTER-MIX _60%light-mix soil/30%cocco/10%perlite _mycorrhizae She and her sister K # 3 are mostly identical, maybe she's a little more low in heightnes but not to much The flowers increase in size day by day ๐Ÿš€ Unfortunally this lady and K # 3 dosen't shows any purple-pink colors, like the other three components of the family.. But it's fine right this..for me is better this situation because I can compare the difference at the end ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘Œ She also starts to increase the trichomes production๐Ÿ”ฅ And a little vit of aroma is coming.. We will see The other things I have use in this last seven days I will put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#2 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 30cm For this girl I have use different diet.. _11l smart-pot _Living Soil (my High-Brix formula) _mycorrhizae This one she's growing in my personal Living soil (High-Brix recipe) that I have use and I still use right now with her and other plants in different diaries.. And I think to continue to use it for a long time more Always comes out somnthing of ๐Ÿ”ฅ And to be honest , in the beginning of this adventure , I was sure that the Kalini Asia grow in to it can shows her true DNA And In fact , she's coming out purple-pink and with a very lovley and unique aroma ๐Ÿคฉ Like you can see in pictures , her leafs starts to decrease in color and they already becoming a nice yellow.. Auto flush , like as always when I grow in Living Soil ๐Ÿ’ช She knows for imself what's the best for her.. I have just to watch and create the right environment.. But we will see better in a couple of weeks if my Living soil works right even with this amazing strain ๐Ÿ˜Ž Like the other sisters , the micro life/nutrients/stimulator I have use in this last seven days I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#3 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 35cm With this girl I have use.. _11l plastic-pot _20gMONSTER-MIX + 70g guano kalong + 25g kelp kalong + some organic nutrients/stimulator _mycorrhizae In the last few weeks of vegetation and the first two of flowering, she was appears most vigourous in growing that her two sisters in 11l pot.. But now she looks a little less bigger in buds size , but not to much.. She's almost identical in everything with her sister K#1 , but the nutrients I have using are in part different We will see at the end ๐Ÿ˜‰ Things I have use this week down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#4 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ6} Final height= 40cm The little one of the family..but maybe the most resinous for now ๐Ÿ’ช Whit her I have using.. _5l air-pot _30g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae Like K#2 and K#3 , lucky , she's showing some beautiful color Mostly dark pink , but I don't know if the pictures helps you to understand at the best how lovley she's This week she was increase a lot in a bud size and she also starts to smell amazing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Difficult to describe Love it ๐Ÿ’š And she's probably the ones with the most trichomes density ๐Ÿ”ฅ I think she's ready in no more then 19/21 days , maybe before ๐Ÿ“† Other nutrients/stimulator I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#5 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ7} Final height= 60cm With this beauty one I have using _7l geotextile pot ( not completely full , about 5,5/6 liters ) _40g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae I don't know exactly if what I will say right now it's the true But I personally think she's definetly the phenotypes to looking for The smell it's absolutly insane Very complex and intense , mostly on a fruit side with earthy tones I really hope to find a true Kush effect with unique taste The trichomes are not to much dense , probably due the high temperature But she appears almost healty enough and happy The leafs starts to comes purple , especially the ones upper for the most , and a couple of it already died after finish the nutrients inside Flowers are just awesome in my opinion Also , like the K#2 and K#4 , probably the pictures don't showing at the best how she's lovley But maybe I will transporter her outside in the last week , under the sun light , for show you her gifts ๐Ÿ˜‰ I think she will be mature at the best in max 14 days I can't wait to taste her buds They are somnthing really special โฃ๏ธ Now I have reported over here the other things I have using in this last seven days , apart the regular water I have give every day for each ones ๐Ÿ’ง K#1 / K#2 / K#3 _5ml molasses each one _2,5ml rinhoskin each one _2,5ml topmax each one _3ml sensizym each one For the other two I have always decrease a little bit in this weeks, but things are still the same But for K#5 it's from more then one week I have starting give her just regular water plus some enzymes.. And I will continue to do it for a couple of days more ,and then I will give only still water for the last ten days So , for K#4 this week I have using K#4 _4ml molasses _2ml rinhoskin _2ml topmax _2ml sensizym For K#5 _2ml sensizym _๐Ÿ’ง Like the all ten weeks before also this one has passed easy Plants are always in happy moode and me with they ๐Ÿ˜„ For now I can say she's a really good genetics , no doubt ๐Ÿ™Œ And if you find a dark pink-purple phenotype, do what I have not doing.. Clone it ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ It's somnthing special and unique.. Vigourous , productive with beautiful colors and very complex terps profile.. In a few months I will definitely give you a better idea.. So , stay tuned ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค™ Thank you so much for stopping here ๐Ÿ™ Hope you was enjoyed like me ๐Ÿ˜Ž See you next.. Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

First week of flowering. Thereโ€™s too much vegetation I might prune the branches that donโ€™t produce flowers. The pistils have appeared, so I guess the buds will start developing soon.

Might get rid of GSC and just make more room for Trainwreck and G13 to spread. Going to do heavy defoliation for the first time tomorrow stripping everything underneath 2nd scrog and in between bud sites. Nervous it's going to really shock the plants but hopefully a handwatered feeding tomorrow helps keep it on track. Week Three of Flower... Baby Jesus, please give me the energy to continue watering twice a day for the next six weeks ๐Ÿ™ Day 60 Update: Still some trimming to go but finally pulled the cord on GSC. Wish I had a while ago so the other plants could stretch more proper. Placed a riser under the Banana to even out the height. Going to tie down any tall sites and see if I can trigger a nice long cola down the scrog. G13 already has one forming nicely. If it withstands all that trimming with little to no shock, I will be impressed for sure.
