Day 57. Statement : Even with hard beginning - thats my best run ! Zamnesia is AMAZING !!! With veg hiccups, they still bushout to really nice plants in less than 7 weeks. Now Blue Dream is targeting my roof, Kalini Asias are thick as f@ck. Runtz very dense plants, thought they would be a bit bigger ... They drink every 36 hours, hard to keep up with work, but i do my best not to screw up with them ;) This week : feed, water, water. Defoliation too !!! Day 59. That game - "who will reach sealings" - I don't like !!!! Moved lights two days ago ... Soon i will need axe for my roof !!! ;)) That Monster Blue Dream is insane !!! Hope will do heavy defoliation in two days, maybe this will shock her ;))) other plants keep up with her and canopy is even without all three Blue Dreams. Huge plants. Day 60. Video is showing how less space is left, but they just keep climbing !!! ;)) Day 61. Thinking to defoliate all girls tonight, but maybe i will do it after next watering. Had to reposition them, loads of branches need to be chopped, some didn't see light for last two weeks( Curly, looks like sh$t, will never reach light). Girls are too big for my setup and i really hope it will be enough light and HEIGHT for them... And so Defoliation has started !!! Hope everything will go fine !!! All done !! With the thought " WHAT HAVE I DONE !!!!??????!!!!!" i go to try to fall asleep ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Siguen apareciendo pistilos blancos todos los dias dando ya un aspecto de cogollo. Comenzo la aparición de los primeros tricomas y a los pocos dias de regar con top candy comenzo aun mas la aparición de estos tricomas. Los cogollos cada dia engordan mas

Pineapple Express looks to be coming in on the finish line, maybe 2 weeks tops on left on it. The ghost Train haze i the back of the tent is still throwing out all white pistils and i see bo end in sight for that one, the ghost train at the front of the tent however looks much farther along and may be ready in 2-3 weeks. they are all looking healthy, save for some fade starting to hit some of the leaves. the flowers are dense and sticky, i cannot wait to experience these plants after cure!

Easy to grow. Started out pretty rough due to my PH being way to low and honestly plants were underfed being in coco now seems the plants want food sooner then they did in soil. So around day 5 start slowly introducing Megacrop to them. Other then easy to grow fun as fuck smells so good. The yield im really happy with i was only expecting 3 zips tbh. The buds smell so good right out the herbsnow dryer and lightly trimmed and placed into jars for the curing process. I am beyind happy considering the timing and everything. Will be a lovely 420 treat. Thank you to everyone who watched me grow this one :).

Sooo! Now i started the mainlining... what a bad feeling it was chopping her down! :( But i guess its a bad for a good (you get the idea of the expression..) So I will clone the little side branches from the top apex to get some more babies, but i won't be very much focusing on them since the girls i want to show for the contest, are the two mother plants. I did a small video, hope its gonna be viewable. Sorry for the pics taken under the grow light... The plant that i topped and bent, got some light leave changes, if anyone is commun with those symptomes plz leave a comment to teach me right :) Keep the growing going! Dearest L_C.

Growing some seeds I won from Diary of the Month here on Grow Diaries!!! I'm so grateful and excited for another learning experience doing what I love! Thank you, FastBuds! 🙏 Seed was germinated directly in Rapid Rooter placed in a seedling tray. I put her in darkness for 48 hours and then in a sunny window. Three days later, the seedling's little head poked up and the next day she showed me her first true leaves - calling this day 1. I kept the seedling tray in a sunny window and brought her outside for lunch on my sunny deck with me for the rest of the week. Given the heatwave we were having here, I got her settled into her net basket sooner rather than later so that she could have a more stable environment. This plant will is being grown indoors in an 2x4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent using an 8 gallon Current Culture Solo Bucket under California Lightworks 550 Solar System LED. For grow media I am using clay pellets and I use the entire Cultured Solutions line of nutrients. I will be showcasing this plant in a grow tutorial over on my YouTube channel and IGTV where I am going to show a detailed walk through of how I grew my original "Budzilla" plant. Unfortunately, I don't have a grow diary for her, but she is featured on my IG account. The technique I use I created after harvesting my first grow. I had used low stress training on an autoflower and achieved beautiful results. I took notes the entire grow and conducted a postmortem. I sincerely advise doing this for EVERY grow - especially when you are learning. It provides you opportunity to figure out what went right, what went wrong, what could have gone better, and what ideas you think you can toss into the mix to try to improve on the places that need revamping. I did this and I came up with the hypothesis of starting my plant off-center in the net basket, and then growing it low and in a spiral around the outside. In my head, I thought something like this could really push the limits of low stress training, especially when used on an autoflower where we have a limited time of vegetative growth. I didn't realize, at the time, JUST how effective the technique would be, but when the grower community on IG exploded over the sight of my plant, I started to get a feeling a did something right. As I was still only growing my second plant in my entire grow career, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I had pushed the normal boundaries of an autoflower.... I had nothing else to really compare it to. Nearly a year later, photos of my Budzilla are still being shared around social media in the grow community and I still get asked regularly about how I grew her. And with that, we start here on the journey to attempt the recreation of my former masterpiece. But I'm taking it one step further and giving you a detailed, step-by-step guide so that even the newest of growers can follow along and learn how to push an autoflower to its beautiful edge. Plus.... It's really freaking cool to bonsai a plant 😎. Anyway, please feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel! The link is in my bio! I am updating as I go along! Thanks for growing with me! ✌️💜🌱🙏

ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly. We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy. ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.

Semana 8 de floración.🌹 Entramos en una fase clave del cultivo, donde el foco está puesto en la maduración progresiva y en mantener la estabilidad para que las plantas terminen de expresar todo su potencial. Los cogollos continúan engordando semana tras semana, con una producción de resina muy evidente, especialmente en hojas de azúcar y cálices superiores. Los aromas empiezan a intensificarse y la estructura floral se mantiene firme y bien formada, las flores empiezan a coger alimentos de las hojas. -Permanent Marker: Las Permanent Marker están mostrando una floración muy atractiva. Cogollos cada vez más compactos, tricomas visibles incluso a simple vista y una evolución constante sin signos de estrés. Los tricomas se observan mayoritariamente claros con aparición progresiva de lechosos, lo que indica que aún queda margen de engorde y maduración. Los pistilos comienzan a oxidar poco a poco, pero todavía hay una gran cantidad de blancos activos. El terpeno que desprende es muy potente, complejo de describir, con lijeras variaciones entre los tres ejemplares. En esta etapa se ha decidido no forzar la nutrición, priorizando estabilidad y salud general para un final limpio y de calidad. -Jealousy Diesel Auto Las Jealousy Diesel auto avanzan a un ritmo algo más lento, pero de forma constante y saludable. La formación de tricomas está siendo abrumadora, junto a un impresionante terpeno a cítricos, naranja y picante que se pega en tu olfato por horas después de manipularla. Se ha respetado su ritmo natural, sin prisas, permitiendo que continúen desarrollando resina y estructura floral progresivamente. 🔬 Control y decisiones técnicas: • Ambiente estable durante toda la semana. • Fotoperiodo 12/12. • Nutrición moderada, sin excesos. • Riegos ajustados y observación diaria. • Sin signos de estrés ni carencias relevantes. En este punto del cultivo, la prioridad ha sido mantener constancia y evitar cualquier cambio brusco que pudiera afectar a la calidad final. 🔍 Estado de maduración: Tricomas: mayoritariamente claros, inicio de lechosos. Pistilos: mezcla de blancos y algunos oxidados. Resina: muy abundante. Cogollos: aún en fase de engorde. Todavía no es momento de cosechar. Se prioriza dejar que las plantas completen su ciclo y alcancen su punto óptimo de maduración. La magia está haciendo efecto. ,😍🌿✨❤️

After 2 weeks I chose my favorite plant of the three and prepared her for the Autopot. Now she needs to root this pot for another 2 weeks before we can turn on the Aqua Valve and the tank. DLI 30

No problems with growth, buds rapidly putting on weight and smell is getting stronger each day! Had to cut down on nutrients slightly as I think was feeding a little more than she could consume. Looks like she will be fully ripened around or on the 8th week. I liked the fact she started with the Durban poison, sweet smell and then as she progressed into flower, the loud, dank Kush slowly creeps up before finally taking over the the sweet smell of the Durban poison. Right now as I wright this, the Kush smell has started to mellow down and mix into a nice sweet nutty scent.

Another good week for this lady. Temps were high, but she handled it like a champ. Because she is so beastly and only in a 4 gallon pot, I’m watering about 1 gallon of water every 3 1/2 days. The dry back seems to be better if I don’t wait till the 4 th day. Buds are developing nicely, and stacking really well. I’m going to have some decent sized colas. Frost is coming along nicely too. She has a Kush smell with some sandalwood at the moment… Temps were floating around 82 degrees this week, with RH around 55-58%. Plucked a few more fan leaves, but otherwise just a slight turn each time I check on the tent. Happy Gardening

In a week I'll switch them to flowering, I did topping again and keep defoliating so they don't shade each other and the canopy stays even, we keep going! 🙌🙌

End of week 10, she is doing nicely, looking forward to the switch to 12 - 12 this coming Monday March 11. Gave her a feeding of nutes after her 4 last waterings and she enjoyed it. She is taking up a good portion of the tent, getting a little worried about crowding for flower. Tent is only 39” x 48” x 72” with 4 plants in there. Wish me luck 😎

📅 Week 13 | Days 92–98 📅 🌼🌸🌺 Flowering Phase 🌼🌸🌺 Day 98 🌞 – Oreoz 🔸 Oreoz is looking like an absolute showstopper this week. The buds are incredibly dense and completely frosted with thick, glistening trichomes – it almost looks like they’ve been dusted with snow. Resin production is off the charts, especially on the top colas. Trichomes: Mostly milky with some still clear – no ambers yet. She's not quite ready, but getting close. 🔸 Climate control has improved. Humidity started the week at 63%, but with the dehumidifier now running and all clip fans at full power, it's being maintained steadily between 50–60%. That little climate shift is definitely helping – the buds are chunking up without any signs of stress. The slight 2–3°C increase in tent temperature is worth it. 🔸 Nutrients: 1 week of Overdrive (Advanced Nutrients) before the flush phase. Water intake has already slowed down noticeably – another good sign that the end is near. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 💨 Humidity = 63% → Target: below 60% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 🍯 Pot Size: 18 liters 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

I noticed that the whole right side of the tent had basically collapsed, so harvest was upon us. Using hedge clippers I cut away large chunks of the plant: THis thing is huge. Put some celophane over the cut ends and taped them, had to load them into the tent for drying at a couple of different levels so that it is stacked. Will update once I have dried and cured.
