***** Week 12 growth - February 20 to 26, 2021 - Week 3 Flower *****
These girls have been happy all week and CL2 has looked happiest still. CL1 pheno came out of the gate stronger and taller from the beginning but I have been looking for a little more out of her so while I was giving GSC x 707Headband some fulvic acid in her feed I gave some to CL1 also. She has reacted well to it, or it certainly hasn’t brought about anything negative. Used Gold Storm at 5ml/L👍 CL2 is just freaking gorgeous and may be a keeper, in early growth anyways😃 Love her size, node spacing, leaf to calix ratio, thick branching, early trichome production......all on point so far🔥When I took a leaf the other day the underside vein appeared to be slightly starting a color change......should be some purple in there somewhere with that genealogy😍
Light is at 20” and pulling 480 watts at the end of the week. Stated off with 400 watts at the start of the week but keep pushing it up this week. I don’t want to break 1,000 to 1,100 PAR by very much as I am not supplementing with true CO2. I have an Exhale bag to raise it a couple hundred ppm. Feel the need to keep the intensity high for penetration lower in the canopy. Will lower the amount of time in daylight if stress gets too high. Push to 11/13????
Nutrients are following IPP HOG 3 Part pretty closely. Just playing with macro nutrient ratios but otherwise supplements are at full week dosages following week 3. Have been seeing great resin production last runs so staying with Rezin as part of their feed schedule in flower. Terpinator......I think I see a lot of sulfer benefit here so it stays in the grows as well. Recharge seems to be working out well but we did the change mid grow from Microbial Mass. Since in coco have to feed the microbes so they reproduce and really dig Nature’s Candy with Remos additives in there👍 To help keep the root zone clean we add Enzymes😃 I have been debating a lot lately about the addition of CalMag to these nutrient lines and it’s necessity but since in coco I keep adding some......noticed a couple of spots on MM2 so have added it back in a bit more this week.
Little more detail.......
Feb 20/21 - Day 15
- Full feed today.....it’s been five days.
- tap water with Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP line at full strength.
- 1400ppm and 6.1pH
- CL2 given 4L with good runoff.
- CL1 was given some fulvic acid in Gold Storm. Help with giving her a chance to stretch a little more. Little more node spacing.....bushier girl.
- 5ml/L added to feed for 1490ppm and 6.1pH. She was given 4L with good runoff.
Feb 21/21 - Day16
- Dry out day
Feb 22/21 - Day 17
- watering with supplements and light feed today. We are in mid flower now.....need to keep the macro nutrients up.
- Epsom salts @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. Purple on stems is getting prominent......could be cold temps but also giving magnesium.
- Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, grow @ 1ml, micro @ 2ml, bloom @ 2.5ml, Recharge @ 1 Tbsp in 20L.
- 1400ppm and 6.0pH.
- 4L
Feb 23/21 - Day 18
- keeping up the silica this watering
- silica @ 1ml, CalMag @ 1ml, Ultimate B+ @ 1ml
- 600ppm and 6.0pH
- 3L Little to no runoff this watering.
Feb 24/21 - Day 19
- full feed again today.....girls are big and growing hard......keep it going💪
- IPP line as listed for full line.
- Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml
- 1425ppm and 6.0pH
- they are taking the high ppm feeding well.
Feb 25/21 - Day 20
- Had some feed water left from yesterday. Added plain tap water to get 20L.
- 810ppm and 6.1pH
- 1.5L......don’t want to over saturate the medium.
Feb 26/21 - Day 21
- Nothing today.
- Will feed early tomorrow as it’s Saturday.
- Let the root zone get some oxygen is my thought and water to nice runoff first thing in morning.
Week 3 behind us and going into 4.....middle of flower and girls are feeding hard. Pushing the lights hard now as well so need to keep the ppm up👍 Little more variety in these two phenos but certainly not negative differences. In the end I think CL1 might have bigger colas than CL2 because she is getting some wide/thick bud tops. I do like the appearance of 2 better though because I suspect trim is going to be better as well😎 Again though......I am make sure nothing happens to the clone of CL2 and Mandarin Mimosa 1 right now💪👊 Good week ETS.....let the swelling begin🌟

Die buds werden langsam dicker und die ladies riechen schon wirklich stark. Hab hier und da noch ein wenig leaf tucking gemacht, aber Jetzt kommt der ruhigere Teil, wo man einfach nur gießen und warten muß

Whats up everybody cheers to another week of growth for everyone!
This week the ladies buds started showing signs of progress. You can see them produce more and more resin every day thanks to the cold weather its really easy to keep a pretty dry environment. Can’t wait to do my final defo next week! Until then stay green!

Such crazy plants, the buds are hard as rocks and already feel dry and cured while still flowering.
It has a very sweet smell and some beautiful crazy shaped buds.
Very happy to try out this genetic as well as growing Zamnesia for the first time.

Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges
Continued Growth and Health
As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration.
Adjusting Nutrient Levels
Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week:
CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm)
Grow: 1.5 ml/l
Bloom: 1.0 ml/l
Micro: 0.5 ml/l
EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS)
pH: 6.0
Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization.
Weather Improvements and Adjustments
The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions.
Strengthening with Wind Exposure
On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay.
Smart Watering Strategy
I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient.
Pest Management: Observations and Actions
At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further.
Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early.
Decision Against LST
At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍
Monitoring and Care
My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes:
Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix.
Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies.
Growth Observations
The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy.
Looking Ahead
As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage.

Smooth and relatively quick trim, and very low yield. Still, it was free so I can't complain at all - and the bud does look really nice :)
Not perfect, but not bad either.

This strain was wicked fun to grow. Yield is amazing. One plant filled a 30 gallon tote once dried. WPM and leaf septoria was horrible this year but this strain seemed to do just fine. Very resilient. Grew short and stout like an indica. Covered in trich's and smells amazing.

Day 35-
Did a really good watering today. I added a tablespoon of blackstrap per gal of water. Will see how she looks in the AM. Also been doing a little defoliation here and there. Will take more pictures tomorrow.
Day 36-
Took my tent out of the closet in my spare room. I wanted to be more discreet but it was too hard to work out of so I took it out. Really loving the new set up though! The girls DEFINITELY enjoyed the watering yesterday. Waiting on nutes for a bit longer since I'm using FFOF. So just water and blackstrap for now.

Day 1
Never grown before, but always liked plants. Especially plants like these 😊
Seeds came today. Only one will be grown for now (Bloody Skunk Auto). The seed was slightly scraped (purposefully), and then placed in distilled water. Seed sank to the bottom with a little push after 6 hours. Hopefully that's a good sign :) Seed was then taken and put into rooting medium. Currently lights are on 24/0 to warm the area surrounding the seed. Tomorrow temperature/humidity measurement will be set up.
Day 2
Was able to measure the temperature. It's about 22 C. Natural humidity is a bit low in the area (35%), so a humidifier is being used occasionally to increase that. Seed has sprouted now (15 hrs after being put in the rooting medium), maybe in two days there will be some real growth 😊
Day 3
Root looks like it's off to a good start. Positioning seems a bit off though. Will keep an eye on it for the next couple of days.
Day 4
There was a surprise waiting today 😁 Plant pushed through the piece of sponge at the top without a problem apparently. The light has been switched to a 125W 5500K CFL, for now without any reflector. A bit worried that this might be too strong, especially for a seedling. However there aren't other 5500K or higher Kelvin value lamps available, so going with this one for a couple of days. If there are problems, will go back to just a collection of 2700K bulbs and hope the plant survives haha.
Got a heating pad, so now the temperature is being kept around a comfortable 73-76 F. Night temperatures should drop to around 66-68 F.
Lighting schedule has been switched to a 20/4 schedule, to allow for better plant development. Will probably stay with this schedule for the first couple of weeks.
Could also see the taproot poking out of the Root!t sponge. Not sure if that's going to bad for this root to be exposed to light at this stage. Once (if) the leaves start to get wider than the Root!t sponge the plant and sponge will be transplanted to a small 1 Liter pot. If the roots continue growing but the plant stays stunted then it will also be transplanted.
Andddd....got nervous about the 125W lamp. Decided to switch it out for the previous lights (two LEDs, two CFLs, all at 2700K). Total lux value is about 10000 measured by the seedling. Seemed also like the seedling might have been craving some water, so gave it a few drops. It hadn't been watered since being planted. Hopefully not over-watering here...
Day 5
Seedling has grown by another centimeter. Leaves haven't really changed that much. Nevertheless, decided to put the seedling in a slightly larger container. The cup was taken and filled with some potting soil (Compo Sana Anzuchterde) and the Root!t sponge put into that. Did this because the tap root was poking even further out of the sponge and didn't like that. Gave some more water, mainly in the lower section of the soil. Will not water again for a few days unless it seems really too dry. Don't want to over-water 😑
Day 6
Seedling doubled in height. Starting to get concerned about stretching.
Read conflicting information about the optimal humidity for seedlings, but most seemed to say that less was better, and a humidity dome not necessary after sprouting. One source suggested that seedlings stretch when under a humidity dome. So that's been removed.
Switched to the 125W lamp as well in case the seedling was stretching because of not enough light. Added a fan for a breeze to occasionally move the seedling...hopefully this will make the stem a bit sturdier. First set of leaves has begun to develop a bit more..but it seems a bit slow. Might just be being impatient 😄
Day 7
Not much has changed. Soil is getting to be dry enough where watering again should be ok. So that will be done tomorrow morning, with a small amount of BioBizz RootJuice.

Hello, readers!
Branches keep falling down, because of it's weight. I'm trying to manage them. Very hard positioning them.
One of big brunches broke somehow... It's still on the plant, layd on the ties
I think next week will be last for her.
I didn't change solution, so i decided to fed her with TA only this week, so as not to accidentally overdose her.
Feeding that's not from TA is in gr/l
