Early week 6 update (i'll add more pictures and comments as needed): Unfortunately I hit some challenges! Light got way too close and stunted growth for a day. I noticed it on tips closest to the light only. Raised lamp to 22 inches. Indica bagseed (plant in the center front) got too stacked: stuff like leaves on top of each other with lots of moisture, no light/airflow penetration, etc. I did some basic LST, leaf tucking, net tucking, to open her up and go sideways more a bit at first. It helped a bit. Unfortunately aug 27, had to get more aggressive on this beast and remove 3 shade leaves on the right side. not happy about defoliating, but had to do it. Will see how she takes it and then look at left side on a later day. Growing the first time is educational and actually therapeutic in today's world for me. I've already learned so many lessons for the net time: don't need such a yuge pot, lamp brightness/distance, air circulation!!! Thank you to everyone that responds with positive encouragement/messaging, it really helps. Adding two more fans to help air circulation aug 28. hopefully it reduces the need to desecrate the plants! Meanwhile the plants in back (purple canyon) want to stretch their faces off, esp. the one in back left, so it is a balance. I only have so much vertical height :) aug 29, flipped to 12/12. plants are happy and i want to control the space for first grow. let's see how it goes. updated the humidity for the week to ~ 60. Ida etc has made it miserable, it should get better soon.

What a trip with these Monster Zkittlez. We have almost reached the end, going through many fears we are reaching excellent results for real. I have three young ladies planted one before and two more after 10 days to test the right vegetative times. The first was worked with very aggressive LST and now I dominate many weeks of flowering is fantastic. They are putting all of them very much but they are filling up really well except one that seems lost and is not bad. In fact, the two smaller ones were also low stressed and treated with an aggressive pruning to keep only a big main cola and something lateral. One has filled very well another is filling less and very slowly but still with dignity, I gave it up for lost but even the ugliest is not bad. The big has some scary banana. The frozen speaks for itself sugar dripping from everywhere early harverst next weekend

They took a long time to grow and mature 10 months in all. They produced amazing flowers with a genuine high. Left a lot to be desired in flavour profile however not awful to smoke. Would grow again for sure as they were a high yielding, ‘set and forget’ type of strain easy and resilient enough to grow and highly impressive to see grown outdoor.

Welcome everyone Week n°4 ended for these three phenos of SORBET#4 🌿🌿🌿🍧 Like you have probably see in the video, a few days ago i have made a one topping, on the central stem, for increase the power of the lower branches exposing them to a better lights conditions.. I have also cut two or three leafs, not too much for now, just for increase the airflow and also again for a higher lights exposure of the lowers parts✂️ 🍃 About the lights 💡 Doing that, i have increase the potency of my two Mars-Hydro SP3000, from 25% to 50% ⬆️ The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. Pretty useful 💯 In the middle of the week i have switch from 18/6 on/off to 16/8 on/off.. Always tryed to mimic the natural cycle of the sun light, works good to me 👌 Anyway.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i have giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {This last one i have used in a foliar spray solution} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 And that's all.. Another week in vegetation and then we can thinking abot flowering 🌻 See you next.. Thank you for stopping by and reading 😎👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

And with this, the ladies shall say good bye as the next post will almost certainly be the harvest. Sad but damn i'm excited!!!! this is a crop i am truly proud of. All 3 strains in the tent came out just incredibly nice but i'm glad i picked the gorilla zkittlez for the diary as i doubt i'll be seeing trichs like this again anytime soon. The pictures do a fairly good job ( p.s. just got the S10 and wow it takes nice pics even compared to the S9) but in person the trichs are so long its almost surreal. like it looks furrry and soft and fluffy. I hope she smokes as hard as she looks cause she looks like she gonna be putting me in a damn coma. The smell is very nice as well. Slightly sweet but still that strong strong dank smell. I CAN NOT WAIT TO SMOKE THESE LADIES!!! 😍😍😍 I've noticed some people are following along, I hope you enjoyed the run and I look forward to posting the harvest. Whats your guess for the zkittlez? of the 6 plants in the tent 2 are the GZ. my guess.........hmmmmm........350-400 grams The flowers on all the plants are DENSE. No fluff this time around so im thinking this should be a healthy harvest indeed!!! Shout out to amazing genetics from Barneys as well. those guys kill it! Started to flush yesterday. I think they will be done in 2-3 days. lastly, whatever those sap bubble things are, they werent eggs and are still a mystery lol

Herzlich Willkommen zum Ende der Woche 5/BT35 Die Pflanzen sind sehr am bulken. Ich gieße zurzeit 1,6 Liter alle 2 Tage um den Livingsoil konstant feucht zu halten. Beim öffnen des Zeltes empfängt mich ein sehr frischer zitroniger Geruch. In 2 Wochen sollen die Pflanzen fertig sein, ich bin sehr gespannt.

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Going well 4th set of leaves coming through, have 2 Whiteberry going but just reporting on the best one. Nice green colour, stalk is still purple. No nutes added yet, soil is pretty good so I’ll add when required I think. Watering when required, last water was around 3 days ago, turning out to be about once a week

Let the pictures speak for it, just waiting for chop day.. --------------------- 👇 This week (Day 48 from 12/12) - Watering 1 to 1.5 liters per day. Following the plagron alga grow schedule (Stopped with sugar royal - too much N), along with compost tea weekly (Recipe Week 11). Calmag needed because my water its really soft. - PPFD at canopy height is approximately 800, with VPD around 1.3-1.5 - Leaf Temp ~3°C lower than room - Using 0.75 liters of compost tea per plant for superior bud flavor 👉 See recipe for week 11 👈 - Pulling some leafs here and there - Granndy Candy tolerates the light intensity somewhat better --------------------- Happy growing, and thank you for checking out my report! Your support means a lot to me! 🙏 --------------------- I appreciate every like and comment 👍👊😃

The smell on this lady is absolutely insane. The only way I can describe it is a dank smelling cherry. Trimmed 2 ozs after drying got done and had the whole house smelling. Very impressed with the nose tone and taste of the Cherry Cola and its not even cured yet. Growing this plant has turned me on to the cherry terps and will continue to look for them.

Hi Guys, Grow Diaries for whatever reason won't allow me to upload my complete harvest video which is a real bummer because I mainly do the videos for my YouTube channel but decided to also include them on grow diaries to give other growers who might be considering growing the same strain in the future. Helps give people an idea of what to expect when they grow it. But honestly I can't be bothered to re-edit it to fit to Grow Diaries setting which I don't even know what they are.... Didn't think they had any! Maybe it's the length of my video..... 🤔! I don't know, but I like to give growers a good description of the strain and smoke review. I hate it when I go to others peoples pages to have a look at a strain I'm thinking of growing and them not having hardly any pictures that properly show you the growth stages of the plants.... Really annoying. Which is why I chose to properly document mine to give you guys or try to give you guys the best view of my grows..... If that makes any sense 😅 https://youtu.be/iYNiI75Vvkg That's the link for my channel guys, the complete King's Juice harvest review is there. Really sorry I couldn't provide a better aspect to the Harvest guys, but at least I know for next time and I will be prepared. 👍🏾

Week 6 of flower for these ladies and their pistols are all starting to turn very orange. You can see in the picture of the burn leaf that I messed up on the PH and let it run to high for to long, so my PH level was around 7.2 in my soil. The Ghost OG seems to be a bit behind in development than the other two but that’s fine. I’ll probably still chop her same day as the others because I won’t be running the ghost OG anymore. I have recently been stocking my personal seed vault. So in the near future after I get a strong mother from the Tropic Moon & Dark Plasma by OceanGrownSeeds. I plan on also be running the Dominatrix and the Primal Punch F2 by EmpireBreedingCo. I hope you guys are excited to see these strains grown. If you don’t know of OceanGrownSeeds or EmpireBreedingCo make sure to check them out on Instagram. Thanks for checking out the garden.

Noch immer habe ich und die Pflanzen den Schock über den ungewollten high Stress nicht über Wunden 😪 Leider war die Wachstum Phase zu diese Zeitpunkt fast vorüber. Zum Großteil hat es ausgerechnet die stärkste Pflanze erwischt. Diese ist nun die kleinste und schmächtigste geworden 😭 Meine Lampe bekomme ich nicht mehr höher, dieses Mal habe ich sie mit Hilfestellung ein letztes Mal höher gestellt. Ich war kurz davor diese Grow abzubrechen, doch dann packte mich wieder der Ehrgeiz. Da dieser Grow auch schon sehr Zeit und Energie aufwändig war. Meine größte Befürchtung ist jedoch ein unbemerktes zwittern und nachher alles voll mit Samen ist 😱 Am 75 Tag musste ich den unteren Bereich entlauben, dieser bestand nur aus Fusselärmchen und die ersten Blätter waren auch schon sehr hell.
