Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc.
My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000.
I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed!
Running 24hr light schedule.
Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F.
Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule.
Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress.

4/29/20 - Update
Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂
For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent.
I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The most current batch of nutrient mixes for was made this morning about (2am 4/29/20) for the 1st and second set of plants.
The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of
(Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom)
It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL.
440ppm @ 98.5°F
890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm
This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again.
The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL.
500ppm @ 98.6°F
992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm
This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule.
I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data.
I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

Diese Woche habe ich sie noch einmal ordentlich entlaubt. Jetzt ist sie ready für die Blüte. Die letzten zwei Tage durfte sie in Ruhe chillen und sich erholen. Ab heute bekommt sie 75 % Lampenleistung. Ich hoffe auf richtig große, schwere, fett stinkende Buds.😅🤣😎

All 3 plants cut and just Ozz remaining to dry and trim. Terrible outcome for #4 as I had to throw more than half of the plant away due to bud rots. I’m still really confused about what happened: the day before harvest I noticed and removed 3 bud rots from the plant - so far so good. All remaining buds were fine, but when trimming I realised every single top was maroon-ish at the base and I could clearly see a start of mold when opening some of them. Although I could clearly confirm what it was with a 30x lens, the white spots were extremely scarce and small (less than 1x1mm each time). It doesn’t seem really coherent with how it should have spread. Nonetheless, I didn’t take risk and threw away any bud where I could identify white mold with the lens, and put aside the ones where I had a doubt in pop corns (the “7g maybe”, cf below) to track the evolution.
A quick summary of the harvest so far, will edit when I have some time: - Dorel: 250g wet, 37g dry / 17g trim (54g total) - #4: 450g wet, 33g dry / 7g maybe / 29g trim (62-69g total) + a lot thrown away due to bud rots - Ozz: only weighted the two bigger canopie I cut, 162g+142g≈300g wet. It represents around half of the whole plant (probably less, but stem included), so around 5-600g wet total.

La planta sigue ramificando e inicia la pre floración, se prepara para dar el último estiron. Mientras tanto yo le cambié el fotoperiodo a 20/4 y le agregué un foco de sodio de 400w a los 200w de cfl que ya tenía en vegetación. Volví a ajustar el lst creo que por última vez antes de dejarlas ser hasta el final. Riego cada 4 días aproximadamente con 2L de agua estacionada con ph entre 6.2 y 6.4. Ayer le tocó agua pura y en cuanto me pida más le daré un poquito de extracto de algas de top crop. Big one y top auto en muy bajas dosis, pues la planta no ha mostrado signos de deficiencia alguna.. Hice un riego foliar con aceite de Neem, extracto de canela y jabón potásico a modo preventivo. Ha respondido bien a la nueva luz, la distancia entre el sodio y la copa es de 60cm, iré acortando más adelante 10cm más si la temperatura me lo permite, La sigo!

📆 Semana 4
El estiramiento prácticamente se detiene y la planta entra en fase de floración activa. Los puntos florales ya forman pequeñas coronas definidas en cada punta, con los cálices apilándose y los primeros indicios de volumen real. Los pistilos siguen emergiendo con vigor, marcando el inicio de la densificación.
La estructura se mantiene abierta y eficiente, con todas las zonas productivas bien expuestas. Las hojas continúan sanas y funcionales, sosteniendo una fotosíntesis estable que acompaña la creciente demanda energética. Sticky Finger se integra con naturalidad en la dieta, respaldando la expansión floral y la futura producción de resina sin saturaciones.
Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Three different strains from LIT Farms (https://litfarms.com). Check them out if you haven't heard of them. Looks like they have some fire 🔥 genetics. I'm about to find out!!
12/30/2022: Started all of the seeds in a cup of distilled water, with a splash of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours.
12/31/2022: moved into a damp paper towel, using the same water/hydrogen peroxide mix the seeds soaked in.
1/1/2023: 5 of 6 seeds germinated and are showing a small tail. The Frozen White Runtz,
Ice Bath, and 3 out of 4 of the Grand Prix. Still planted all 6. The Grand Prix #4 is the one that was not showing a tail yet. Still holding out hope. Only plan to plant 2 of the Grand Prix, so I'm not concerned yet. Hopefully I get two female!!! Planted all the seeds into a solo cup, filled with BuildASoil Light, and watered with ThermX-70, Rootwise Micro Complete, and some fresh aloe juice from an aloe plant in my back yard. My daughter got to pick the color of the solo cups, so looks like we are using pink, haha. Added a light mulch layer of barley straw, and put in my tent under 18 hours of light.
1/3/2023: the same seeds that cracked two days ago broke the surface today, so I'm calling this Day 1. I checked the Grand Prix #4 and decided to cut my losses and throw in a new seed directly into the cup. We'll see if this one pops and can catch up.
1/5/2023 - Day 3: The five seeds that germinated look healthy. The Grand Prix 3 has some leaf curl on it's first set of leaves, but I'm not worried. Still nothing from Grand Prix 4. Cups are all still wet enough so not much else to do but wait at this point. They have been averaging about 85° with 80% RH.
1/6/2022: the new Grand Prix 4 has germinated, but it has not pushed through the soil yet. I cand see the soil bulging, so I'm thinking tomorrow! The other 5 are looking good and the cover crop on the bed is coming in strong.
1/7/2023: The replacement Grand Prix #4 sprouted! Now let's hope I get at least two female of the Grand Prix for the 3x3. It's a waiting game now.

I am a little bit worried about its flowers size so I've duplicated the green sensation dose from 1mL/L to 2mL/L due I haven't using any other fertilizer apart from the banana (+potato+honey) juice . These photos are intended to take a look at the state of their trichomes, since, according to the variety information, there is only one week left to be harvested (although I do not believe it). Lets see what happens.

This grow looks a lot larger then what it is, gorilla zkittlez came out light and fluffy but still a solid 9.1 oz yeild in a 4x4 tent sharing the space with girlscout cookies
She grew a little rough at the start during veg but once she got back to health she really took off
Heavy feeder she would always drink more and be lighter green then the girlscout cookies
Had a reveg mishapp around week 3 and 4 in flower which caused her to stretch a lot, none the less she still stacked up on some colas
Due to heat and too much light the buds turned out really fluffy compared to girlacout cookies
Buds are nice and frosty with lots of orange hairs tho
Smelling like lemon peels and gummy Candy with a hint of that earthy smell
Harvested on day 77 she was at the end of week 10, hunger her up in the basement where temps were about 70-73 and humidity around 55% stable for 5 days
Trimmed off all the fan leaves and some sugar leaves to aid in the drying process
Was low on stash and wanted to harvest instead of buying more
Finally have enough to keep me stocked up will next harvest! Just from one plant
Still have the girlscout cookies to weigh up aswell and she had better buds
None the less easy grow specially for the last 3-4 weeks as I ran out of nutrients I just gave them the odd watering ph to 6.0 but she got waterings as low as 5.5 and High as 7.1 and didn't effect the growth
Although I could of gotten a larger yeild or denser buds with nutrients up untill the last week
She didn't die nor slow down during the last few weeks and doubled in bud size
pressing out nicely im sure ill be doing a lot of it with this bud

🌿 GrowDiaries Harvest Review Runtz by Zamnesia Seeds 🌿
Participating in this contest has been an incredible journey! A massive shoutout to Plagron and Zamnesia for making this possible. Growing Runtz in a 1-liter pot was an experiment that exceeded all expectations yielding a whopping 2 ounces! 😱
Aroma & Flavor:
The scent is absolutely intoxicating: fruity candy haze with a gassy undertone that fills the room. Each puff delivers a smooth smoke, leaving behind a clean white ash, a testament to its quality.
Bud Structure:
The buds are dense and chunky, resembling big, oily nuggets. Their vibrant colors and resin coated appearance make them a visual delight.
Effects:
This strain hits hard with a potent and euphoric high, perfect for evening relaxation.
The balance between indica and sativa effects provides a creative uplift followed by a soothing body relaxation.
Final Thoughts:
From seed to harvest, this grow was a rewarding experience.
The combination of top-tier genetics and quality nutrients from Plagron made all the difference. I'm thrilled with the results and proud of what I've achieved in such a compact setup.
Thank you once again to the GrowDiaries community, Plagron, and Zamnesia for this opportunity.
Here's to more successful grows ahead! 🌱🔥

Wow what a week this has been, the plants have all undergone fair dramatic changes. A real flurry of leaf yellowing, pistil darkening/curling, and bug swelling. The smell is really coming along now, I think we're really quite close to harvest. On the assumption that pre-flowering was two weeks, this strain should be ready at the end of week seven flowering, so in the case of this diary the end of week nine (i.e. one week to go!).
Pistils are about 70-80% amber, and the lower pistils on buds have started curling inward.
Trichomes look to me to be something like 10% clear 80% Milky 10% White.
I have smoke tested a small bud off the lower part of plant 3 today after quick-drying overnight in the airing cupboard, taking into consideration the obvious chlorophyll from the fast dry, the high was much closer to what I am expecting than the last smoke test. It came on at the normal pace, was quite effective, and lasted a good while. I am really hoping I can navigate my way through the next process, as I feel quite close now to having some home grown bud for the first time.
The plants are being well watered this evening with just water, and this will be the last time that I water them until harvest.
I will continue to monitor these daily, I intend to harvest at the first sign of any amber trichome.
Advice and comments welcomed.
P.S. Exciting news! My order from Green House Seeds arrived today for my next diaries! :)

She's finishing in stride. The tops are still foxtailing and just keep on growing. There's a beautiful red/purple fade becoming on the leaves. The nugs lower on the canopy are insanely frosty.
This is the best smelling Superboof cross I've ever smelled, and I smell atleast 1000+ packs each year. Deep Deep Red Fruit Punch + Black Cherry Fruit Punch+ Beautiful Orange Citrus background from the Superboof + sum earthy hashiness from Pure Michigan.
My best plant yet in my opinion and a lot has to do with the banging genetics from Homegrown Genetics. I am absolutely blown away and will be running more!
Maybe another week? I'm gonna check trichomes today and see how she looks
