12/20 Week 7 Happy with the growth and the smell is so sweet, minty, and berry so terps are doing just fine. Backed off nuets ever so slightly 12/21 new pics and backing off the nuets more tonight - 10ml each see if I can get rid of those white tips Helps if you upload the right files 😎 12/23 pics 12/24 All is good but think I am going to continue reducing the nuets and checking EC of runoff as still getting some small issues on leaf tips. Maybe I am chasing ghosts we will see 12/25 White tips under control, runoff checked at 1600ppm unadjusted 950ppm unadjusted in, adjusted for water thats 1400 and 750 so ok now. Buds building fast swapping positions in the tent tonight.

Welp gotta leave the country for awhile and got no one to trust so this plant is going to get harvested very early but I’ll do another run some other time

My three grow runs went great overall — except for the extreme heat. The new tent and accessories from Spider Farmer performed really well. Hesi nutrients were excellent, and the Biobizz soil was fantastic.

Welcome to 📅Day 15 of veg 3/29/2021 she is fully recovered from my micro top and growing fast under the MH TS 1000. I'm not going the change much at this point nutrient wise as she is doing good and she is still small. Update 📅Day 17 of veg 3/31/2021 well it looks like she is growing fast and strong I'm very happy with the MH TS 1000 I have high hopes. I decided that at this point I can increase the light output to 60% that gives me a LUX of around 20,000 LUX 💡. The light intensity is much higher then the AGLEX at this point now with the AGLEX light not able to hit 20,000 LUX 💡 without the bloom switch on and I am going to wait till next week for that Update 📅Day 19 of veg 4/2/2021 she is growing fast and I'm very happy with her progress. I installed the trellis net just above the canopy and over night she is through it lol. Can't wait to see how she does in flower under the Mars Hydro TS 1000💡, at this point I wish I had 2 TS 1000💡 so I could just run them. that's it for this weeks updates as as always Happy growing🍃 and keep you stick on the ice 🏒

Some nice red and pink hues appearing around the buds and the smell is really lovely, not overpowering but it is a pleasure to stick your nose in the tent and just inhale the aromas. Getting close to harvest time (10-11wks), will be cutting back on the nutes and begin flush feeding and watching the trichomes closely for any changes, they still look clear. Expecting her to start autumning off anytime soon. 18/10 Gave her a water feed 1.5 ltrs with molasses diluted ec 60ppm 6.8 pH

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

All plants are looking quite good exept one goofy plant in the right corner. This week is the last for vegetation period. Jah bless the one reading this.

Starting flower on this tiny grow . I topped them 4 days ago , lets see how they do with their first flowering stage feed ! What are your thoughts guys ?

Day 94. Switched to begin flushing. Two plants at about 50% cloudy 50% clear, two others 80% clear. One weirdo one I didn't bother looking at. Still trucking along. Hoping to chop soon- started some GDPxOG, Gorilla Girl, and Chemdog (all photos) that are sitting in the understory. Smell is okay, sweet but nothing to write home about. First cut plant one needs time to cure. Second chopped plants are going through dry trim process. Looks like I can remove them from the stems tomorrow given today's test. Excited to see where they land in weight

All looking good. Did a bit of defoliating. They still have at least 35 days left so still going strong.

We enter the second full week of flower. I went and got some nutes to start adding in sparingly to the watering sessions. Mild mix from Foxfarms of their Tiger Bloom formula. I didn't catch that the large plant's leaves were curling pretty tellingly so I didn't realize I was about to overload the nutes for that plant when I should have been flushing for a week. I had supercropped this large plant as it was 6" taller than the others but it bounced back so quickly. Five colas snapped and turned 90 degrees, bounced back in a day or two. It did allow the others to catch up a bit. I find that the one potential male I removed was 100 a male as it now had well developed pollen sacs. I had this plant outside alonside the other two potential herm/males. I put the two questionable ones on the roof and chopped the male down.

Apr 17: 48 hours darkness before harvest, we made it... The calmag deficient one did very well all things considered... Apr 19: looking all cloudy with a hint of amber, im pulling the plug... overipened last time, this should be waay better. Smells like grime and gas idk how else to say it...

Alles gut, macht sein ding ! 😜

FLIP DAY 1: it is here finally. I had hoped to her them a lot bigger before the flip but other plants are forcing the issue so I am going with them. C Banana is smallest of them both but her thick stems give an idea of how she wants to bud up for flowering. She is very thick and has a lot of growth spread out well. Each head has a few smaller nodes below already so should start the stacked fat colas early on hopefully. Monster zkittelz is a lot wider by comparison and certainly very productive too. bending her out and getting her to stay put has been an endeavor but also given me faith in this hybrid. She will be a productive girl I think. Nice work Zamnesia. let the fun begin.

Auto flower harvested and cured next plant ready in 3-5days

Week 11 Jan. 13 - 19, 2020 Jan. 17, 2020 I'm a few days late updating week 11. So here it goes. I harvested the 3 Zkittlez plants. I enjoyed growing these. They didn't get as tall as I'd liked but that was my fault, I kept my lights too close during the early stages of the grow. I learned that these auto flowers don't not need to be LST'd. My Zkittlez #1 I over stressed and it yielded out only half of what the other plants did. Of the other two plants...one was LST'd and the other was left to grow more naturally with very little training. They both yielded within 1 tenth of an ounce of each other. Final dry weight is 2.5 oz. Could've been better, but it's my first time and I learned a lot. Here's a link to my diary for Zkiitlez if you'd like to check out my first grow experience in more detail. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44659-fastbuds-zkittlez-auto-grow-journal-by-weedwacker/week/212148 Looking forward to harvesting my Californian Snow plants which still fattening up and putting on major trichomes. No amber trichomes but wow the plants are frosty and they have a strong pungent smell. When the main cola is bent a little sideways it really begins out the smell. The smell is like a gassy fuel, diesel fuel, strong chemically smell. I love it. CS #3 is giving me some problems. The pics might show it. The leaf tips are curling up and thr leaf edges are turning brown. Not sure if I can correct this befor harvest. It's late into flower. I may just ride it out until then. I've topped dress once weekly for the last 4 weeks with kelp, and a blend from roots organic for bloom 4-6-3.

🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno B | Week 4 Nine Fingers of Perfection If her sister impressed me this week, Pheno B absolutely stole the spotlight. This is exactly why I love documenting each phenotype individually. Two plants, grown from the same pack of seeds, living in the same room, drinking the same nutrients, receiving the same light and environmental conditions… yet expressing themselves in completely different ways. And this lady decided to make an entrance. The first thing that catches my eye isn’t her height or even her branching… It’s those magnificent nine-finger fan leaves. Large, perfectly formed, beautifully symmetrical, and reaching toward the light like solar panels engineered by nature itself. Every time I walk into the room, I find myself stopping for a second just to admire them. Sometimes the simplest details become the most beautiful part of the journey. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Week four has been all about momentum. The root system is clearly well established now, allowing the plant to shift its energy into vigorous vegetative growth. Every branch is becoming thicker, every internode stronger, and the overall structure feels incredibly balanced. Compared to last week, she’s noticeably fuller while still maintaining excellent spacing between growth sites. The canopy is beginning to spread naturally, making future training easier with every passing day. One characteristic that really stands out is her calmness. She simply looks comfortable. No unnecessary stretching. No signs of stress. No complaints. Just healthy, steady growth. ⸻ 🌿 Those Incredible Nine-Finger Leaves I have to dedicate a section to these because… honestly… they deserve it. Those enormous nine-finger fan leaves are simply gorgeous. Wide blades. Perfect symmetry. Strong petioles. Beautiful texture. Deep, healthy green colour. Each leaf is functioning like a giant solar panel, collecting every possible photon from the Future of Grow LEDs and converting it into energy for explosive growth. They’re not just beautiful to look at—they’re a fantastic indication that the plant is photosynthesizing efficiently and building the energy reserves she’ll need once flowering really begins. Sometimes growers become obsessed with removing leaves too early. Personally, I look at leaves like these and think… “Why would I remove one of the plant’s biggest energy factories?” For now, they’re staying exactly where nature intended. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training continues to remain gentle and patient. Instead of heavy manipulation, I’m allowing the plant to dictate the pace while simply guiding branches into better positions using Low Stress Training. Large fan leaves are carefully tucked whenever necessary, exposing developing shoots underneath without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. It’s amazing how quickly the lower branches respond once they receive just a little more light. Each adjustment is small, but together they slowly create a flatter, more productive canopy that should pay dividends later in flower. Sometimes less really is more. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains exactly where the plant wants it. Current solution: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Adjusted to: * pH 6.1 * EC 1.35 mS/cm The plant continues responding beautifully, with healthy new growth appearing daily and no indication that any adjustments are needed. When the leaves tell you they’re happy, the smartest decision is often to simply keep doing what you’re doing. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running remarkably well considering the outside temperatures. Current environment: • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C Although daytime temperatures remain relatively high, stable irrigation, consistent humidity, healthy root development and continuous airflow are allowing the entire room to thrive. It’s another reminder that plants respond to the complete environment, not just a single number on a thermometer. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Forward Over the coming week I’ll continue opening the canopy through gentle leaf tucking while allowing those side branches to establish themselves before the flowering stretch begins. If she continues growing with this kind of balance and vigour, I expect a beautifully structured plant with excellent light penetration and multiple strong flowering sites. And if those nine-finger leaves are any indication… She’s only just getting started. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Every week this experiment becomes more interesting. Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed removes many of the variables associated with long vegetative periods and allows each genotype to reveal its natural behaviour much earlier. Some plants stretch. Some remain compact. Some develop incredible branching. And then you find a phenotype like this one that immediately captures your attention with extraordinary foliage. That’s exactly why I wanted to document every phenotype separately. No two plants tell the same story, even when every variable around them remains identical. For me, that’s where the real magic of growing begins. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a heartfelt thank you to everyone following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, discovered the diary recently, leave encouraging comments, ask questions, share advice, or simply enjoy watching these plants evolve each week… thank you. Every visit, every conversation, and every bit of support helps make this project even more rewarding. I’d also like to thank the GrowDiaries community and platform for giving growers from around the world a place to document, learn, and inspire one another. Special thanks to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the outstanding Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for the reliable nutrition that keeps these plants thriving from week to week. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the powerful lighting that fuels every stage of development. And finally… Thank you for joining me on this 8×8 journey. Every phenotype teaches us something new, and sharing those lessons with this community is one of the most rewarding parts of the entire experience. Until next week’s update… Growers Love and keep growing, keep learning, and never stop appreciating the little details—sometimes they have nine perfect fingers. 🌿💚
