Beginning of week... Well, I had to work late last night.. So, she wasn't watered for 24 hours.. I have been having to water/feed 2 to 3 times a day due to the media drying out.. The roots are insane in the cup.. Alot aLoT ALOT of fuckin roots.. This is my first cup grow that had this much roots.. So yeah, I could see her drinking like a mf.. Which she does.. She is happy and healthy... Besides the underwatering today.. I couldn't be more happy with the way this girl is growing. After 7 days of 12/12 and the tops are starting to form pistils.. Next week should be epic pistil growth by the way she's been growing so far.. Will update when she perks up from the underwatering.. Later that day.. Shit.. She perked up.. But not enough to show a full recovery pic.. I watered when I took the underwatered pic and before lights went out.. That was only about... 4 hours.. Usually the girlies perk up after about an hour or maybe 2.. I'm sure she will be fine in the AM.. Oh yeah I forgot to add in the veg cycle I was adding 1mL per L of water of Silica.. So that should have helped her build up a good immunity to my abuse.. This is the only hiccup so far in the grow.. No more stress! Will update on the issue in the AM with pics whether she fully recovered or not 24 hours after decovering she was underwatered... She perked back up.. I forgot to mention that I have been bending the tops to help the lower branches stretch up some.. I remember reading somewhere that is another form of LST, I believe. I'm pretty much just bending the top 2 - 3 nodes to point straight down.. Which is just enough to not snap the top completely off.. When I release the top she stays pointed pretty much at 90° away from the center of the plant.. A few more side branches have almost caught up to their main tops. I read that it kinda like tricks the plant into thinking she's topped 'in a way'.. I feel like it just stresses the branch upward from where the most bending is at.. And the side branches are not being stressed at all so they keep growing/stretching at normal speed, if not a little faster, while the top above the bend has been stressed and slows down, if not stops completely. Just my 2 cents on the dealio.. Just bend the main tops downward 180° from the center of the plant, so that when you release the tops, they stay bent over at 90° (or tied like LST) and let the bottom branches get all the light.. After a couple hours, the tops will have probably already pointed back upward..😁 The capacitor on my home AC went out.. Temps in the tent got up to 90° F.. Leaves were pointing upward.. Praying.. But also canoeing.. Luckily I checked google and youtube on how to fix it.. I fixed it in under 15 mins.. Got the temps back down to normal and just made sure I kept her good and watered thru the heat stress. She is good now tho. The pics for today were 6 hours after seeing the heat stress. When I say LST this week.. Its just bending the tops down as I stated earlier in the grow.. I even removed the ties that I did have.. I shouldn't have done that because the tops kinda bunched together.. Oh well.. Live and learn.. Shouldn't create any issues.. Its easier to water now.. i was using a 1 fl oz turkey baster that worked very well.. But also time consuming.. Now I can just pour straight out of the powerade bottle I use to mix and store nutes and water.. I never keep anything mixed for more than 2 or 3 days at the most.. I have just ordered a bunch of hydroponic stuff.. And organic stuff... I can't run both at the same time.. I don't know which to try first.. Im thinking try hydro first.. Then organics because I think organics MAY be where I end up but still wanna try hydro to see how it ends up.. Hmmm... Went ahead and lollipopped her and bent the main tops down.. One branch kinda snapped so I think it was pretty much supercropped lol whoops.. Didnt break the skin tho.. I dont really care for defoliating alot.. But I always end up doing it anyway.. I need to stop lol

21.10.24 BT# 7 Hallo zusammen ✌️, Der Mendocino Skunk geht es wie immer sehr gut. Seit der Umstellung auf die Blüte hat sie noch mal ein Gang höher geschaltet, ich entlaube Sie jeden Tag ein bischen da ich sie gerade nicht viel stressen möchte. Seit dem ich alle vorhandenen Triebe getoppt habe treibt sie so so viele neue Potentielle Triebe die später sehr zu Kämpfe haben um das Gewicht der fetten Buds zu tragen. Es bleibt sehr Intressant freue mich auf die nächste Woche und euch mit Neuigkeiten zu füttern. Bleibt alle auf den richtigen Weg stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😍 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 21.10.24 BT# 7 Hello everyone ✌️, As always, the Mendocino Skunk is doing very well. Since the changeover to flowering she has shifted up a gear again, I'm defoliating her a little every day as I don't want to stress her too much at the moment. Since I've topped all the existing shoots, she's sprouted so many new potential shoots that later have to struggle to carry the weight of the fat buds. It remains very interesting looking forward to next week and feeding you with news. Keep everyone on the right path stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 😍

Day 59: There is little left to my first harvest in 2019. As buds continue to swell and resin starts to see some orange pistil. I think that in order to complete the cycle of these six Gorillas, there are only a couple of weeks to get to the standard eleven weeks. The smell of the resin is very strong and I have to ventilate the room several times during the day. Given the approach of the first harvest I put some other seeds in the soil. 😄 P.S. If you want to listen to some music while reading the posts on this fantastic site I'm creating a musical playlist with my rework dedicated to ganja, of course both listening and downloading are free 😉 This is the link: https://www.orfium.com/playlist/767069/420-ganjatimemusic-c4in0/ As I wrote earlier I had to speed up the times of the first harvest because this Saturday is my birthday. I chose one of the predominantly indica plants for the first taste. This plant has received only water for the last five days instead of the usual 10/12 and although I would have to wait another 10/15 days before it is completely dry, this Saturday I will break some buds smaller and I will smoke it 😋 Once the first plant has dried, and the crop is tasted, I will add more data such as flavor and real definitive weight. For the remaining five plants I will follow all my standards without breaking basic rules and I will make a progressive crop. For the 2 plants that showed a photoperiodic predominance, I will open a separate diary once the harvest is over. P.S. I posted some sexy photos to take part in the Naked Buds contest. The girl portrayed in the pictures is called Laura and is a friend of mine who likes to smoke, pics are from webcam because she lives in other country by now. Although right now I'm single, like all men I have lots of videos and photos in the company of girls and given the fact that I am a chronic marijuana smoker in many of these it often appears as a joint or a bong. For the moment I do not intend to share anything without having first received the consent of the girls portrayed, I'm not a piece of shit. My friend sent me the photos knowing that I would share them, she saw them and wrote to me that I will send others in the future. For Laura: Thank you baby! 😘 Day 66: As written above I must hasten the times and to do so I have to break some rules for perfect cultivation. After choosing and cutting the smaller plant and having made it stand upside down in the shade for two days I dissected all the buds and put them to dry in my cage. At a first estimate I should have gotten between fifty and seventy grams of buds, I will be more precise in a couple of days. With the smaller buds and sugar leaves I will subject them to decarbosillation and I will make some good butter 😋 while with the small branches covered with trichomes I want to flavor some bottles of vodka, I put aside even the largest leaves and branches and when I have also dried out the waste from the next crops I'll do a bit 'of ice-olator hashish using the bubble bags system...I thank everyone and I apologize for my approximate English and any errors, but as you may have already guessed it is not my language. March 10, Day 69: Final taste and effect ratio for the first plant. The exact weight of dried buds, excluding the wads, sugar leaves and small branches is 58 grams. Even having pushed all the final procedures to the limit, the product is fantastic. No chemical taste despite the short flushing. Yesterday was my birthday and I got to smoke a lot (about 45 grams) in the company of twenty friends, everyone appreciated the taste and power of the effect perhaps amplified by some beer, but still very strong. No one has coughed, the smoke goes down smooth and clean and the effect is practically immediate. The terpenes of limonene and pinene dominate every flavor. The aftertaste is fresh and sweet and smoking a lot at the end the limonene prevails. For a final consideration on the edible taste I will have to wait to have made some butter to make biscuits or brownies. As I wrote the effect is very strong, salt immediately and at the beginning seems energizing, but shortly after passing the joint hits you with a baseball bat to the back of the neck 😵 After the fifth joint you are now on a psychedelic journey and you will continue to laugh for hours. At the moment I do not have a THC analyzer (object I want to buy in the future) but based on my personal experience I think it is well over 20%. Stimulates appetite, thirst (excellent if combined with a double malt blond beer) and can be used to effectively fight insomnia. 👊

Hi Growmies, She continues to develop nicely. The rootball continues to expand and nested itself right above the airstone. She is very thirsty, finishing a good 10l over the course of 5 days. I have opened my last atami rockzbastic tester and added a ml per liter. Seems like the buds start stretching around the colas now, so pretty much half time +- a week.

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

Day 71👋🌱 Started flushing. Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400. Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber. Day 72👋🌱🌱 Hi all growers, how is going? Second flush, baut maybe the real first one😎, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water (6.5) and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days. This lady is so fat, and tasty already i can smell chocolate and pinus, i'm sure they're going to fatten up 😋😉 Day 77🌱🌱🌱 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Keep washing it with ph controlled water, water now looks cleanest and buds are really blooming now, leaves are loosing color in favour to buds, i think i've got ther 6.7 days left to this lady cut. Let's see!!!! Let’se go!😋

Hi guys, this week has been great for plant growth..they are 85cm tall and I think they will grow a little longer. You can see the future buds that will be covered with flowers. From this growth I am learning that the FIM technique is better because the buds will all be at the same height and look much more (as you can see in plant number 4). Pistils begin to appear and in the next week I hope to see more pistils. Stay Tuned 🦍

🍇 Purple Haze Photoperiod – Phenotype B | Week 4 (Vegetation) The Bush That Wants Every Ray of Light Week four belonged to Purple Haze B. While her sister is preparing for life on the AutoPot system, this girl is following a different path, remaining as a hand-watered control plant for what will become a very interesting side-by-side comparison later in the grow. Even though they are sharing identical conditions, genetics, nutrients, and training philosophy, every phenotype writes its own story. That is exactly why I love phenotype hunting. This one has chosen to become a compact jungle. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 Overview What a transformation. During the week she exploded sideways, filling every available space with healthy branches and fresh growth. Instead of stretching upward, she invested her energy into building a dense, symmetrical canopy that is becoming thicker every single day. From above she already resembles a small green island. Large solar-panel fan leaves overlap beautifully while dozens of vigorous shoots continue racing toward the light. Every new node appears healthy, evenly spaced and ready to become another flowering site once the transition begins. The rich emerald color tells me everything is working together exactly as intended. Sometimes the healthiest plants are the ones that simply don’t give you anything to complain about. This is one of those. ⸻ 🌿 12/12 From Seed As with every plant in this project, Purple Haze B is being grown using my favorite 12/12 From Seed method. The lighting schedule stays at 12 hours from germination until harvest, allowing the plant to naturally progress through its life without ever experiencing a traditional vegetative photoperiod. The goal isn’t maximum size. The goal is efficiency, fast turnaround, excellent quality, and discovering how each genetic expresses itself under these conditions. Every phenotype reacts differently. That’s exactly what makes this project so exciting. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training (LST) This week’s training focused exclusively on Low Stress Training. Rather than cutting or removing growth, branches are gently bent and positioned to create a flatter canopy. Why? Because every branch that receives equal light has the opportunity to become a productive flowering top. LST offers several advantages: • Improves light penetration throughout the canopy. • Encourages multiple dominant tops instead of one main cola. • Creates better airflow inside dense plants. • Produces a more even canopy before flowering. • Increases the number of quality bud sites. Watching this little bush respond over the week has been incredibly satisfying. Every adjustment rewarded me with even more vigorous growth just a day or two later. ⸻ ? Why This Plant Is Staying Hand Watered Although she’s growing inside an AutoPot container, this phenotype is intentionally NOT connected to the AutoPot system yet. She will serve as the comparison plant while her sister begins receiving gravity-fed irrigation. Everything else remains identical: • Same genetics. • Same substrate. • Same nutrients. • Same environment. • Same lighting. The only real variable will be irrigation. It should make for a fascinating comparison later in the grow. ⸻ 💧 What Is an AutoPot? The AutoPot system is a completely passive irrigation system that waters plants automatically without pumps, electricity or timers. Instead, it relies on one beautifully simple principle: Gravity. A nutrient reservoir sits slightly higher than the pots, allowing nutrient solution to naturally flow toward the plants. Each pot sits inside an AutoPot tray containing a very clever device called the AquaValve. ⸻ ⚙️ The AquaValve The AquaValve is the heart of the AutoPot system. It works like a miniature mechanical valve that opens and closes entirely on its own. Here’s how it works: • The tray fills with nutrient solution. • Once the plants drink everything available, the tray becomes empty. • Only then does the AquaValve reopen. • Fresh nutrient solution enters the tray. • The cycle repeats automatically. The result is a constant wet-and-dry rhythm without electronics, pumps or programming. The roots decide when they are ready for another drink. For me, that’s one of the smartest irrigation systems ever designed. ⸻ 🌱 Current Feeding This week the girls continued receiving the Plagron Terra program: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Solution maintained at: * EC: 1.35 * pH: 6.1 The plants continue responding with lush, healthy foliage and vigorous new growth. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Conditions remained stable throughout the week: * 🌡️ Day temperature: 33°C * 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative humidity: 63% * 🌱 Root zone temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient solution: 26°C * 🌿 CO₂: 639 ppm Even with the warmer daytime temperatures, the plants have shown excellent vigor, with no signs of nutrient stress or environmental fatigue. ⸻ 📸 Final Thoughts Purple Haze B is quickly becoming one of those plants that constantly catches my eye whenever I open the tent. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She’s building something even more exciting—a thick, compact canopy packed with potential flowering sites. In a few weeks we’ll discover whether the hand-watered approach can keep pace with her sister running on the AutoPot system. Either way… I’m pretty sure we’re all going to learn something. And that’s exactly why we grow. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone making this project possible. Genetics: Zamnesia Seeds 🌱 Nutrients & Substrate: Plagron 💧 Irrigation: AutoPot 💡 Lighting: Lumniflora and Future Of Grow LEDs 📖 Grow Journal: GrowDiaries Your support allows experiments like this to happen, and I hope sharing every step helps growers around the world learn right alongside me. Growers Love and see you all next week! 🍇🌿

So it's time to harvest Russian machine guns. The plants were high because we pulled them with a lamp and did not use LST. The final product was removed on the shelf of the refrigerator.00

First week of flowering for plants #2 #3 #4 #5 #11 #12. The other six have been transplanted into 3 gallon containers to continue growing in veg until I harvest the first six. All 12 plants are female! ( lucky roll with regular seeds). Really curious to see which of these girls will win the first round of the pheno hunt.

The plant is doing well overall this week! 💪 To handle a few fungus gnats that started showing up, I introduced nematodes into the soil and placed some yellow sticky traps, seems to be keeping things under control so far. She's growing quite tall now, definitely stretching up nicely, but not really filling out much in width. A true lemony skyscraper in the tent!😂💚

It's been a good week for the girls they're stretching into flower real nice. Plant height is 14 to 20 inches. I just got the dripper setup going at the end of the week and will be fussing with it till I'm happy. I will be watching the ph and ppm's in the res to make sure they're on point and topping off when needed. Thanks for looking😊

18/02: The plants sugar leaves are starting to turn yellow being a good sign they are nearly done. Added more cable ties as again the colas are getting too heavy for the actual stalks. Should be a good harvest. Few more days on the nutes then to flush.
