Let's start growing the Z' Gelato😙 I place my seeds in water for 2 hours before planting them in a 0.5L pot of universal potting soil. 3 days later, I see the seedling emerging 🌱😄 I let my seedling grow for a few days before replanting it in its final 7L pot. she seems to like it there.😉 ------------------------------------------------------- My Instagram 🌱❤️️ : https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ---------------------------------------------- Equipment used : Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 25% at 30cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro. power 1/10. ON 24/24h No other fan this week Heating mat Romberg 95x95cm. ON half an hour every hour ------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your visite mate 🙏💪

Second week in stretch training a bit more with the net.

Clearly got dominated by her pot mate. Looks and smells awesome though. She got planted about a week after her pot mate. Maybe thats why she got the short end of the stick. These plants are not mine. I am just documenting them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 13,17€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power (100 days 18h/day): ~25,92€ (exact figure after harvest) -Total variable costs: ~48,59€ -Total costs per grow: ~51,76€

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle. Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today 😂😂

Harvest time

All pictures were taken on day 49 Buds are stacking up and she is almost done stretching I gave her 2x about 1L with 0.5ml/l Top-Max & Bio-Bloom this week She is looking great. Still dark green leaves, no deficiencies😸

June 7th~11th She's coming down. The long way. After so long I've decided it's time, as the trichomes are mostly milky and I'm seeing a varied selection of dark and light amber amidst what few clear are left. Waiting the extra couple of weeks, as so many say, has indeed made all the difference. I won't cut her down quite yet, but I'm going to do some heavy defoliation in preparation. The temperatures here in Spain aren't ideal for curing, I'm worried they'll dry far too quickly. To slow the process down the plan is to taper off the water rather than stop watering completely. Hopefully the plant dries out in a more measured fashion this way, and the dry extends by two or three days. Otherwise, like with a couple of buds I've already cut off (and vaped, holy moly) they'll dry in a matter of hours rather than days. I've also turned the light off completely so the plant doesn't dry out too fast. I wonder if there's any truth to the idea that a couple of nights in the dark fattens the frosting and final terpene potency, but that's not the intention of turning the lights out, more of a potentially happy coincidence. Truthfully I doubt it'll help, but we're here to see what we can for ourselves :):) Fingers crossed as always! July 17th~ She's down! Added a short video and a couple of photos of her hanging to dry. As soon as things have dried out I'll weigh the harvest to see how we've done. As for taste and experience, even without a proper cure the effect and taste is sublime.

I've noticed about 20cm growth this week. Scrog set up and water cooler keeps it at 19°C. Will do some lollipoping at the end of this week for the last time

Week 5 of flower Buds started to pack up in size, they started to smell like good shi Tested the runoff a couple days ago and it eas around 4 EC, way to fkn much. Don't know if uptake did his job or this plants are so fkn resilient to hold 4 EC with no burned tip or another symptom Anyways, watered with 600ppm till 20-30% of the runoff to control this, but since they dont have any symptom am not gonna do a hard flush

Las amnesia están malitas. Ns exactamente por qué es. El único fallo que creo haber cometido ha sido regar de más, supurando por abajo un par de veces. He regado cada 4-5 días (muy poco) así q ns si el sustrato está muy compacto y por eso no traga ni como airearlo

I'm not adding no nuts since I make super soil however I'm adding an extra push for her now in flower just once a week using kalong bloom and kalong batboost (extract) she seems to love it,I didn't expect her to produce this beautiful violet nugs she's developing,let's see how beautiful she gets at the end,can't wait guys! 😍👀🌱

My Northern Lights number 10 plant is the biggest in the tent so far, and it's stacking like crazy. I love the short leaves – they're perfect for fitting a bunch of branches into a small space, even though they're really big. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Blue cheese auto day 86

First week of flowering went good, had some trouble with my ph meter again, so I ordered a bunch of ph equipment and I’m gonna start fresh with everything new. Lol sick of second guessing my crappy pens. Plants are staying pretty compact so far, they have started to stretch a little bit but we have only done a few tucks on them. They are either gonna stay short or haven’t started there main stretch yet, but we are 10 days into flip so they should be stretching by now. Time will tell I guess. Lol I removed a few of the larger guard leaves up top to open up the middle of the plants more to the light. I have around 40000 lux at the top of the netting and they seem to be taking it fairly well. I’m yet to get my water chiller installed as I’ve been very busy this month and haven’t had time to finish my DIY video for it. Lol hopefully this week we will get it installed and get our water temps down a little lower. I got some more H2O2 coming soon too so can’t wait to get using that again, plants just haven’t been the same without it, but I haven’t been able to find it reasonably priced anywhere near me in a long time. I am using UC Roots now in its place to keep my res/water clean, but it’s not as good. H2O2 has extra oxygen on top of keeping things clean, so can’t wait! Well that’s it for this week, Cheers💨

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

She going good just been giving water

The girls are exploding with energy 💚 no stress, no drama just pure upward momentum 📈 🌡️ Air Temperature: 22.6 °C 💧 Humidity: 52.2 % 🌬️ VPD: 1.31 kPa We’re sitting right in the sweet spot 🎯 I slightly increased the VPD to lower mold risk and tighten moisture control. They adapted instantly, like they knew the mission 💪 💡 Light running at 85% power no burn, no stretching, just disciplined, powerful growth. 🌿 Sativa pushing almost 60 cm, reaching like it’s chasing the sky. 🌱 Indica holding strong at 40 cm, compact, dense, built like a warrior. And now the poetic truth of it all: They don’t rush. They don’t doubt. They simply respond to balance. Every leaf is a quiet signal. Every new node, a statement of intent. Roots anchoring deep in silence, while the canopy writes its story in light. This isn’t just growth it’s controlled chaos shaped into structure. Energy transformed into form. Patience turning into power. The room feels alive. Stable. Intentional. Like something bigger is slowly unfolding. This cycle… is going to be legendary. 🔥🌿
