Popped these seeds on Monday (30/03/20). Germination Method: Soaked seeds in Vitathrive overnight and transferred to Jiffy pellets. I used the excess water with Vitathrive to soak the pellets 👍. Two days later, what I’ll reference now as P1, popped out. P2 is two days behind. These seeds were sent from BF over a year ago. Day 5 - Placed both in 1 Gallon fabric pot with an amended Coco Coir mix. Grow medium (per 1 Gallon) in Vivosun 1 Gal Fabric pot. Coco Coir, 1.5 TBSP of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 2 TBSP Earthworm Casting. I debated doing a synthetic run again but love the simplicity of using Gaia Green. I will start early giving the plants some Organic Cal-Mag for General Organics. Outcome of mix TBD LoL... Lights: HLG 65W 4000k QB for the first 2-3 weeks depends on space. HLG 95W - Week 3 to 6 or until the 3x3’ tent is open for business. I plan (I change my mind on a daily so we’ll see) to do a two plant in a 3x3’ flowering tent under the HLG QB 288 (260W 3000k) Game Plan Last grows I had amended my mix with Feather Meal which caused Nitrogen Toxicity in both plants. For this run I plan to start extremely light and adjust accordingly, meaning I’ll top dress with FM as needed or maybe at week 2. Plants currently under humidity dome with vents open as I have the strawberry nuggets on the other side finishing up (need low humidity for the next two weeks). Veg time will be at most 6 weeks if I’m running both plants in my flowering tent. Recommend flowering time for this strain is 9-10 weeks therefore plenty of growth will occur once the switch is flipped to 12/12. Why Phantom OG? We’ll I’m a fan of Sativa Dominant Hybrids. Read great reviews on this strain and looks like a strain that will produce enormous buds, to be seen.

No update last week sorry got busy. In week 10 of veg they were cruising along and got bushy as can be from the heavy Defoliation. I wanted to give them a chance to really recover unlike usual before doing any more cutting or defoliating. Now we are in week 1 of veg and the single GMO Zkittlez needed nutrients so I gave it 21 ml/g of the A and B, 9 ml/g of Voodoo and Bud Candy and 10 ml/g of Cal-mag plus since I know it's a heavy feeder from growing GMO sherbet in the past. The rest will be getting the listed nutrient mix this week on their next watering. I defoliated them heavy this week again to allow any branches to stretch to the net that want too. I also took off any branches that were dying from being severely shaded, that just would be in the way later on, or were not worth keeping. I added in some green lacewings (eggs as we speak) to keep any pests at bay and prevent any future issues as part of my new organic IPM regimen. Everything looks amazing and I can't wait to see the end result!!

I see some bugs

Bueno entramos en semana 3 de flora... pasaremos usar pl booster y esperemos poder pasar led antes que acabe esté cultivo. El calor lo hace insoportable para las plantas están bastante resentidas a ver que tal sale! Salut y força al canut farmers!🔥

3 weeks curing and i think its done now very strong and sweet smell. Really enjoy my first autoFlowering harvest with this strain.

start the second week of flowering ... continue to gain weight visibly, the branches becoming thicker and begin to glimpse the first glasses ..... let's go

Fire bud in 11 weeks looking forward to testing this by next week be Curing out in the vault in the end :) simple living soil brand Black Swallow KIS Living soil and their bloom top feed plus Dynomyco mycorrhizae 🔥 Thank you again Fast Buds for Sponsoring this journal experiment.

Time to buy new lights using old fish tank lights, out with old in with new Xs2000 x2

10.05.21 Anfang der 7. Woche alles läuft ganz gut hab heute wieder gegossen für jede Lady 4,5 l wasser mit Zusätzen bis auf lady #2 die hat nur green sensation bekommen da sie den anderen voraus rennt mal schauen was diese Woche so bringt...... 11.05.21.................................................. 12.05.21 hab es gestern leider nicht geschafft den Bericht zu aktualisieren hab aber auch gestern nix an den Pflänzchen gemacht hab heute mal ein paar buds fotografiert und das erste mal geprüft wie fest die buds sind also gelato 41#2 ist wie ein Felsen die anderen 3 Ladys sind eher fleischig aber dennoch fest (fast wie ein Hüft steak Medium rare) sieht auf jeden fall viel Versprechend aus und der Duft an den fingern nach dem prüfen, ein hauch von zitrone trifft auf leichte Minze mit cremiger Dunst note schon ziemlich geil muss ich sagen freue mich schon drauf wie ein kleiner junge auf sein Eis...... 13.05.21.................................................. 14.05.21 hab mich dazu entschieden nur noch alle 2 Tage was zu posten ab jetzt passiert nicht mehr viel sie wird nach und nach fetter und die trichome sind zum größten Teil milchig werde Sonntag die Spülung beginnen das währe dann Tag 57 nach flip und somit tag 49 der blüte, demnach sollte ich an Tag 63 fertig sein plus 1 bis 2 Tage dann hat sie 9 Wochen blüte hinter sich und 10 Wochen 12/12 der breeder selbst gibt an 7 bis 9 Wochen flower sollte also hin hauen die Angabe bin gespannt wie sie am Ende aus sieht. Werde Sonntag mal versuchen die trichome zu fotografieren aber mein kleines Taschen mikroskop zu fotografieren während ich es an die Blüten halte is etwas kompliziert für mich hab einen ruhe tremor fehler sprich ich zitter sobald ich etwas mache was mit fein Arbeit zu tuen hat, nicht stark,aber ein Bild machen is da schon schwer, werde es Sonntag versuchen an meine Kamera vom Handy zu kleben mit Maler crepp und dann mal schauen ob es einiger maßen klappt..... 15.05.21................................................. 16.05.21 so liebe growmies und canna begeisterte heute war der Tag der Spülung hab jeder Pflanze 22,5 Liter Wasser verpasst so das eigendlich fast alles an Dünger und Zusätzen raus sein sollte die Suppe die am Ende unten raus kam war fast komplett klar wie wasser sein sollte. bitte schimpft jetzt nicht mit mir das ich so hart flushe, ich hab mir gefühlt 1000 blogs durch gelesen von Zamnesia bis royal queen über Humboldt usw. Zum Thema flush und da gibt es ja echt viele Möglichkeiten wie man das ganze angeht der eine giesst normal weiter halt nur mit Wasser der nächste spült mit doppelter Menge von gewohntem giessen und wiederum andere stellen die Pflanzen in die Dusche und spülen da eine ganze Badewannen durch die Erde. War mir da einfach nicht mehr sicher wie ich das am besten an gehe und bin halt am ende auf die idee gekommen wenn das wasser gut klar ist Dann Sollte doch gut gespült sein hoffe ich zumindest in ca 14 tagen hack ich die Ladys Dann ab ihr könnt euch gar nicht vorstellen wie ich mich auf den Tag freue wenn ich schneiden darf ist wie Geburtstag und Weihnachten auf einem Tag........

🌱✨ Super Sativa Seed Club Germination Report! ✨🌱 Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿 Today, we're diving into the exciting world of germination with our latest run from Super Sativa Seed Club. Buckle up, because it's going to be a fun and informative ride! We started our germination journey with the trusty Cannakan method. This approach is a game-changer for seed enthusiasts looking for robust and quick germination.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

Hello Tokers and Growers! Welcome to another great Indica adventure! Some of you already know I love me some Indica. 😁 My current favorite Indica is Cream Caramel from Sweet Seeds but I decided to try something new this run. Sweet Zenzation (SWS84) also from Sweet Seeds. She's my only Indica dominant cultivar in the tent so I'll be taking extra care of this one. Strain characteristics: Sweet Zenzation derives from a cross between an elite clone of Zkittlez combined with a specially selected Grape Ape clone, which is one of the strains used to develop the original Zkittlez. The result is a predominantly indica genetic hybrid. It produces a large amount of resin-soaked flowers. It is both relaxing and stress-relieving, yet it also stimulates the imagination and conversation, an effect that is normally associated with sativa strains. The flowers have a high terpene content, an exquisite aroma and sweet taste, with hints of fruit flavoured candies, hardwood undertones, shades of lemon, cypress and subtle aromatic peppers. Variety SWS84 Genetics: Zkittlez x Grape Ape Type: Feminized Indica: 70% / Sativa: 30% THC: 16-23% · CBD: 0,2% Indoor Yield: 450-650 g/m2 Outdoor Yield: 400-700 g/plant Indoor Blooming: 9 weeks Outdoor Harvest: late September, early October Expectations & Training method: First time growing this strain but Sweet Seeds have always given me sweet and savory yields so I’m guessing this one won’t be any different. Genetics are promising some tasty terps, I’m the aroma will blow me away. Indica dominant so I’ll be trying to make a bud packed bush out of these. Haven’t quite decided what training technique to go with either LST or TOP and just a bit of LST adjusting the colas. That’ll depend on how I see the growth up until the training day. As for yield I’m aiming for at least 50g each plant. Equipment used in this cycle: Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm Lights: 1 x Mars Hydro TSW2000 1 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Ventilation: Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm Humidifier: Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots Medium: Biobizz Light Mix Nutrients: Grotek - Mycrorizo Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar.

WEEK 9 (DAY 64-70) This week, my plants have significantly increased in volume. The buds are abundant, firm, and smell very sweet. Thanks to mainlining, they've become small and compact, now consisting almost entirely of flowers. For the past few weeks, I've switched to 24-hour lighting to avoid climate fluctuations and speed up the flowering process. So far, this has proven very effective. The plants are growing at a high speed, and I think I'll be harvesting in two weeks at the latest. I've set my lights to 700 PPFD. While this gives me a rather high DLI (Daily Light Integral), the plants don't seem to mind so far. Due to the high temperatures and strong growth, I have to water at least every 24 hours. I'm currently alternating nutrients with Biobizz and Plagron Green Sensation. Last week, I defoliated the plants again to ensure good air circulation around the buds and to direct all energy towards flower production. Thanks to the high transpiration rates, I'm managing to keep the room's humidity just under 60%. It's not optimal, but I think it will work out. With this code, you will receive a 20% discount on your next Zamnesia order: ZAMMIGROW2024

// Day 91 She is getting there. The buds ware not fattening up as much as I wanted to but her trichomes are almost all cloudy and a very low minority is amber. So I guess I give her 2-3 more days and cut her down on friday or saturday. This time I try out the bro science: Befor cutting, I'll let her stay in the dark for 48h. So maybe I turn off the lights tomorrow until friday and chop her down. The bro science hypothesis is that the not ending darkness will give her a last stress which boosts trichome production. || Edit: I‘m not here for bro science, so I am not doing that shit // Day 94 Those are the last videos and pictures from her. I chopped her down today. Since I need to do a bud wash (spider mites, outdoor grow), I can't hang the plant whole. So I cut the stems into as big pieces as possible and washed them with deluted hydrogenperoxide. I hanged them into the tent and try to dry them as long as possible.

Flowering Week 8

🌿 Woche 24 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche haben beide Pflanzen ihr Höhenwachstum endgültig eingestellt und konzentrieren ihre Energie jetzt voll auf die Entwicklung der Buds 🌸. Nach dem starken Auslichten in der vergangenen Woche ist die Struktur deutlich übersichtlicher geworden und ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die verbliebenen Top Buds in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 👀🌱. Die linke Pflanze ist weiterhin etwas weiter in der Blüte und zeigt an einigen Blättern nach wie vor leichte Nährstoffdefizite 🍂. Bei der rechten Pflanze ist das deutlich weniger ausgeprägt und sie wirkt insgesamt etwas vitaler 💚. Diese Woche habe ich noch zweimal mit BioBizz Grow, Bloom, Heaven und TopMax gedüngt . Den Pflanzen hat die zusätzliche Nährstoffversorgung offensichtlich gutgetan – allerdings musste ich dabei eine ziemlich interessante und für mich wichtige Erfahrung machen: Das Bodenleben hat unter dem Flüssigdünger deutlich gelitten. Vorher war unter der Mulchschicht richtig viel Leben zu sehen. Jetzt ist dort kaum noch etwas los und ein Teil der Würmer ist sogar aus den Töpfen geflohen und teilweise vertrocknet 💧. Für mich ein ziemlich klares Zeichen, dass eine Pflanze zwar kurzfristig von Flüssigdünger profitieren kann, das biologische Gleichgewicht im Living Soil dadurch aber trotzdem gestört werden kann. Deshalb habe ich heute eine Entscheidung getroffen: Ab sofort verzichte ich auf Flaschendünger – auch wenn er biologisch ist 🚫. Stattdessen möchte ich wieder stärker auf die eigentliche Grundlage meines Living Soils setzen. Pro Pflanze habe ich deshalb 125 g Almicanna Kickflip mit einer Hand Kompost und einer halben Hand Wurmhumus vermischt und als Topdress ausgebracht 🌱. Ich hoffe, damit das Bodenleben wieder richtig anzukurbeln und die biologische Aktivität zurückzubringen 🙏. Dafür nehme ich am Ende lieber etwas weniger Ertrag in Kauf – mir ist ein gesundes, lebendiges Bodenökosystem inzwischen wichtiger als die letzten Gramm Ernte 💚. Für nächstes Jahr habe ich daraus definitiv etwas gelernt: Rechtzeitig vor Beginn der Blüte topdressen und von Anfang an ausreichend Platz im Topf dafür einplanen. Bei 30 Litern ist der Platz für zusätzliche organische Nährstoffgaben irgendwann einfach ziemlich begrenzt. Der Wasserverbrauch liegt mittlerweile bei ungefähr 4,5 Litern pro Pflanze und Tag 💧. Durch das starke Auslichten und die inzwischen deutlich kühleren Temperaturen ist der Verbrauch spürbar zurückgegangen 🌡️. Und dann gibt es noch einen Punkt, auf den ich mich momentan besonders freue: der Geruch 👃. Beim Zerreiben der Zuckerblätter zeigen beide Pflanzen bereits ein wirklich vielversprechendes Aroma. Ich nehme eine fruchtige, zitronige Note mit einer leichten Nuance von Minze wahr 🍋🍃. Die Zitronennote gefällt mir jetzt schon sehr gut, aber ich hoffe natürlich, dass sich die Minznote im weiteren Verlauf noch etwas verstärkt 🙏. Eine solche Kombination hatte ich bisher noch nicht im Grow und genau deshalb bin ich besonders gespannt, wohin sich das Terpenprofil bis zur Ernte noch entwickelt 😍. Jetzt heißt es wieder: Bodenleben beobachten, Buds beobachten und abwarten 🍂🌸. Ich hoffe, dass sich das biologische Leben im Substrat nach dem Topdress schnell wieder erholt und die beiden Mentha de Croco ihre letzten Blütewochen unter möglichst guten Bedingungen genießen können 🤞🌿. 🌿 Week 24 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week, both plants have finally stopped their vertical growth and are now putting all their energy into developing the buds 🌸. After the heavy defoliation last week, the structure is much more open and I’m really curious to see how the remaining top buds will develop over the coming weeks 👀🌱. The left plant is still slightly further ahead in flowering and continues to show some mild nutrient deficiencies on a few leaves 🍂. The right plant is less affected and generally looks a little healthier and more vigorous 💚. This week I still fed them twice with BioBizz Grow, Bloom, Heaven and TopMax . The plants definitely seemed to benefit from the additional nutrients, but I also noticed something quite important: the soil life has clearly suffered from the liquid fertilerer. Before, there was an incredible amount of life underneath the mulch layer. Now there is hardly anything moving, and some of the worms have even left the pots and partially dried out 💧. To me, this is a pretty clear indication that liquid fertilizer can help the plants in the short term, while still having a negative impact on the biological activity of the Living Soil. So today I made a decision: from now on, I’m stopping bottled fertilizers completely – even if they are organic 🚫. Instead, I want to rely more heavily on the Living Soil itself and get the biological activity back on track. For each plant, I mixed 125 g of Almicanna Kickflip with one handful of compost and half a handful of worm castings and applied it as a topdress 🌱. I hope this will reactivate the soil life and bring the biological activity back to where it was 🙏. I’m perfectly happy to accept a little less yield if necessary – at this point, a healthy and living soil ecosystem is more important to me than squeezing out the last few grams of harvest 💚. I’ve definitely learned something for next year: topdress early enough before flowering starts and leave some extra space in the pot for it from the beginning. With only 30 L of soil, space for additional organic amendments becomes quite limited later in the season. Water consumption is now around 4.5 L per plant per day 💧. Because of the heavy defoliation and the significantly cooler temperatures, water consumption has dropped noticeably 🌡️. And there is another thing I’m really excited about right now: the aroma 👃. When rubbing the sugar leaves, both plants already show a very promising terpene profile. I’m picking up a fruity, citrusy note with a subtle hint of mint 🍋🍃. I already really like the citrus side, but I’m hoping the mint note will become a little stronger as flowering progresses 🙏. I’ve never grown a strain with an aroma combination like this before, so I’m especially curious to see where the terpene profile ends up by harvest 😍. For now, it’s time to watch the soil life, watch the buds and let nature do its thing 🍂🌸. Hopefully the soil ecosystem will quickly recover from the recent stress and both Mentha de Croco plants can enjoy their final flowering weeks under good conditions 🤞🌿.

Tied up few branches opened canopy up abit fpr better airflow for the last 2-3 weeks.
