Heyo growmies! The smell is so potent, i have only grown 4 strains to this point, but this plant seriously knocks all others out of the park when it comes to smell, this is not a strain you put in your backyard without upsetting some neighbours. following last week's EC observation I have lowered my nutrients down to 1.8 ec, keeping the same amount of green sensation. I'll be monitoring the reservoir in any case, there is currently no sign of nutrient lockouts or deficiencies. the only issue I see one or two colas are starting to show some early signs of light stress, So once again I'm faced with a decision, do i turn down light intensity, making the lower canopy suffer, do i leave it and have a few foxtail buds and burnt fan leaves or, do I hst the colas that are getting too close. That's an issue I would like to be moot in future grows, I want to get good enough at training that I can have a completely even canopy. in the middle of the week, when changing out the reservoir, I noticed some buds are starting to show some colors, nothing impressive, just the tips of calyxes and fan leaves turning purple, still, I love the way her flowers look. she's very slow to finish and I cannot wait to see the end result. I am making good progress on my veg closet, i'll now have space for a mother plant,so my hunt for a strain and pheno i love can begin! I will be starting another diary featuring Zamnesia genetics next time, I want to bulk up my stash so i've germinated 2 Runtz and 1 Wedding Cake Automatic. I will move the Timelapse to that grow, it's more interesting to see small plants grow rather than an old girl bulk up her buds. Stay safe and keep growing✊

My second growroom is built and the girls have moved in. This new strain combines two well-received parents, Juanita la Lagrimosa (Spanish for "Juanita the Tearful") and Royal Highness, which are themselves genetic hybrids of other precursor strains: Juanita the Tearful from Queen Mother and a Mexican-Afghan blend; Royal Highness from Dance Hall and Respect 13. On and on the strains date back in agricultural time, each new variety with its own unique smell, taste, color, high and medical benefit. However, in the past decade, a goal of all this tinkering has been what some producers are starting to call “Royal Respect” with the soul of marijuana's benefits going toward both body and mind. Painkiller XL is notable for its near-equal representation of 6 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 7 percent cannabidiol (CBD), achieved by a seed that's 70 percent sativa and 30 percent indica. While the sativa variety of cannabis is widely known for producing more of a mental, cerebral high, and indica has a reputation for contributing more toward its physical high, other factors are more important to consider: THC is the compound given most of the credit for that head high, with CBD takes the credit for marijuana's many proven medicinal benefits, which range vastly from relieving pain, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia and even mad cow disease to easing many of the most deleterious symptoms of AIDS, diabetes, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. These are just a handful of the dozens of ailments marijuana is being prescribed to combat by doctors across the globe and in more than a dozen U.S. states. Cooperatives at medical marijuana dispensaries have been at the forefront of providing CBD-rich cannabis buds and oils for their patients, who undoubtedly appreciate being able to purchase the strain best-suited to ease their particular ailments. This new strain joins others rich in both CBD and THC like Euphoria, Royal Medic, Medical Mass and Danceworld that seek to actually not necessarily downplay cannabis' psychoactive effects in favor of optimizing its healing role, but instead equalize the two. According to the California-based Steep Hill Cannabis Analysis Laboratory, this equalization brings to the cannabis user not just the physically healing aspects, but also the spiritually and psychologically healing benefits as well. There are other strains with very little THC and more CBD than Painkiller XL , but rare are such splendid balances. Producers of this strain say it produces a considerable amount of pain relief, with a mild, relieving mental euphoria. With a flowering time of eight weeks, the Painkiller XL seed can produce 525 to 575 grams per plant indoors. Inside, the dried yield is 400 to 450 grams per plant. Inside, the plants average in height at about 31.5 inche (80 cm); outside, the average height is about 53 inches (135 cm), with harvest time at the end of September. THC: 9% CBD: 9% Yield Indoor: 500-550gr m2 Yield Outdoor: 500-550 grams per plant dried Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 120 - 150 cm Flowering time: 8 weeks Harvest month: Late September Genetic background: Juanita la Lagrimosa x Royal Highness Type Sativa: 75%; Indica: 25% Effect: Physical, clear high. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 19 Day 7 Now I definetly have realized the importance of right pH-level, my old pH-meter clearly didn't work. The new pH-meter showed 8.1 in my regular tapwater, way too high. So now the buds has started to grow again, they were purple earlier and now since she got water and nutes with right pH-level, the buds are turning back to green. And I also added some more nutes to her menu, 2018-02-03 Added some pics of the grow room after I cleaned the floor and putting the girls back in, and also added a video of the reality of a grower having some problems with too high pH-level. Since I'm still a novice growing cannabis I learn new things everyday, and hopefully the next round will be more or less perfect - perfection needs practice.

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :) I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;) It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

The Pineapple 🍍 Express definitely takes a lot of work with defoliation,,that’s if your training her I guess,,,🤔anyways keeping her well fed,,with the castings,,and some extra liquid potash to satisfy her hunger,,,,I think she might go to 90 days,,,,

I stressed this lady out early accidentally , she bounced back as best as I permitted room for . She bared with me all the way until the end throughout this entire learning cycle . I’m deeply appreciative for the ease of grow & level of bounce back she had . It was the most impressive grow but it didn’t require rocket science to grow this either

_____----*Jan 13th added photos*----_____ _-** Jan16th added photos **-_ She's still chugging along entering week 3 now.. Just gave alil recharge so far , besides having some water issues here (tap got funky funky) but had some rv water filters plopped onto the tap and all is in range ec/ph wise now. Issue averted atleast i caught it, got in the habit of checking PPM of the tap everytime just to be sure (I aerate 5gal of tap water as I use it to mix whicheve stuff I maybe using aswell. That's about the only major thingy that really happened. I am seeing some leaf variegation I hope it's nothing more serious havnt had any tmv before so I'll be keeping a tight eye. Fingers crossed tho, I do have a second started that was gonna ne ran without plagron but if she's sick I got a back up. Hoping it's nothing tho, 🙏 Until the next update , I'll throw more photos up as the week gets going. Thanks again for checking in, best of luck to anyone that's involved in this contest !! Been fun watching all ur plants get going !

Penso proprio che questa volta non si riprenderà ma riuscirà ad arrivare alla fine ugualmente! Evidentemente ci sono danni a livello radicale che non sono reversibili e le foglie giovani piegate in quel modo così ad artiglio, sono un segno di una precedente sovra irrigazione che ha causato tutto ciò, mi sembra strano che oltre ad essere così accartocciate siano rimaste comunque scure, senza segni di carenza di azoto o qualsiasi nutriente, ma guardando nelle due settimane indietro, il vaso ci metteva troppo tempo per asciugarsi e questo già faceva presagire un problema di assorbimento per troppa acqua, per fortuna è stata recuperata in tempo ma questo genere di problemi sarebbe sempre meglio evitarlo…mai lasciare in mano le piante alla mamma insomma 😵

At 84 days from seed, 29 days into bloom, she is drinking about a liter (1/4 gal) per day. The stretch has stopped. I continue to defoliate lightly so light and wind can get to the bud sites. Her harvest window will start in another 30 days so there is not much to do but wait. Highest temps in the tent this week were 79F, lowest were 73F. I read somewhere that purplish tones are more likely to show themselves if you have cool nights. Unfortunately, as I'm growing during the summer without AC, I don't think I'll be able to create cool enough nights to see purple leaves. She smells great though and is putting on weight well. I am excited to watch her develop. I am also trying out Terpinator for the first time. I am using it at much lower dosages than recommended. I plan to increase the amount I put in when I get comfortable that it won't burn my lady.

The buds on this girl are growing slow do too all the stress she has been thru. I plan to keep this girl in the ground for at least another 3 weeks. We had some crappy weather this week, lots of rain and high humidity. The buds are not that dense yet so I'm not too worried yet but there is more rain in the forecast fort next week. I'm gave her some nutrients as I did the last 3 weeks, There are so many leafs on this plant it's crazy. I have grown 7 plants outdoors now and I have never had one this big so so cropping, trimming and supportiing has been a learning curve. I put some wax in the big crack at the base that you at see in last weeks pictures but not before a bunch of potato bugs found there ways in there which has me very concerned. This plant may end up being used for extracts only but I hope not .

Week 3 wedding cake s Watered two of the more mature ones on Monday total soak 100% nutrient Accidentally knocked over the runt then 🐕 dog stepped on it. Replanet in smaller cup to try to control substrate moisture. Tuesday reduce light to plant distance, increase tent air flow to reduce humidity. The runt made it. Water runt with 10 cc's of aerated tap water. Wednesday Prep general hydroponics cocotek Coco brick 3 1 gallon pots, designate plants with a name so I know which ones are which. Thursday transplant to fiber pot extend darkness by an additional 10 hours for root growth. Friday water sundance 2 cups tap water

Blue Sunset Sherbert ❤️ – What a beauty this one turned out to be! The buds have absolutely exploded in size and density! 💣💜 The terpene profile is something truly special – rich, unique, and completely unforgettable. The plants have taken on stunning dark hues, with anthocyanins beautifully developed, giving them that deep, almost mystical color. Frosty, dense, and shining like gems – they’re almost ready to meet the scissors ✂️✨ I think by the end of this week it’s time for harvest, and I honestly can’t wait to taste the final result. Stay tuned – this one is a masterpiece in the making! --- Blue Sunset Sherbert ❤️ – was für eine Schönheit diese Lady geworden ist! Die Blüten sind regelrecht explodiert! 💣💜 Und das Terpenprofil? Etwas ganz Besonderes – so einzigartig, so intensiv, einfach unvergesslich. Die Pflanzen haben sich wunderschön dunkel verfärbt, das Anthocyan hat sich super gebildet und überzieht alles mit einem frostigen Look. Hart, dicht und einfach nur beeindruckend – ich denke, Ende der Woche ist Erntezeit ✂️✨ Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie sie schmecken wird. Bleibt dran – das hier ist echtes Headstash-Material!

Smell kind of strawberry champagne And sorbet. Super sweet And fruity.definitely 9 week. In week 5-7 start to put some weight on it but in 7-9 still put more and more 3 layer of trellis and they didn’t make it :))) all of them start to fall down. A little problems in veg cuz I was using organic guanokalong than I switched to mills (the best I think in the European market at least) they to great results. I was using them before, I was growing zkittlez than and same shit fucking great results,I definitely recommended mills full line. Try it and see for your self.I hope that post help you in a way other and you make an idea how that strain develops in flower. Oh yah she stretched till week 4-5 so be aware when you put them in flower. For ipm program I use atlantica full line all of them bio extracts and they make it. I was fighting with trips and you all know how hard is to fight with them. Not even 1 sign of trips after a few weeks of atlantica ipm. Anyway I definitely recommend this strain and I will grow again and again alongside with others for sure.

Transplanted em outside in the ground week 6 they got swamped on week 7 and got severely over watered week 8 I put em in new 45 gallon fabric pots and buried them a bit deeper to help root development they look better today then they do in the video....I'm a newb so knew nothing about ph and the 45 gallon pots have a ph of 8 very alkaline so there now not absorbing nutrient....bought ph down and going to start adding it to water and nutes apparently rain water has a low ph and it's raining again all week....hopefully it helps until I'm able to give them ph down....should be hard for them to get over watered in 45 gal pots...looking like a failed harvest

Hope you guys had an alright week, the rain and floodings here in Europe has wreaked havoc on my outdoor garden, however this diary isn't about my Chamelauciums, its about that sticky green stuff. and boy this lady has started her stretch! I think I might have made the right call flipping her when I did because I can tell she's going to stretch big. Made adjustments to a couple of things this week; my bucket needed more oxygen, so I got a bigger pump and I have fixed my temperature issue by Literally just aiming an air-conditioner at the back of my tent, where my air pump is and as a result, now my water remains a chill 18 degrees! I also need to start keeping my tent closed, even though I absolutely love watching my plants during the day, some critters have made their way inside, eating at the leaves, for now in veg I don't really mind all that much, but I don't want any creepy crawlies when flowers start forming, those are mine and mine alone, not sharing those with any grasshoppers! I recommend keeping a go pro or something in your tent, its quite fun to observe grow, like how the leaves droop 20 minutes before lights out, and start praying upwards before light comes on, these plants really do get into a sleep like rhythm. doing a diary in general just adds a whole lot to the hobby, whether you do a private catalogue, or public, try it! Thanks for stopping by, I suspect we'll see the first signs of flowering next week, I've never grown this Strain, but I can see a few pre flower pistils forming as I'm typing this. Enjoy your week, as always stay safe and keep growing.
