Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. I read an article a few years ago that said: If you force flowering for 3 weeks, you can put it outside after the summer solstice and it will keep on flowering. So, it's been a month since the summer solstice and this plant is going on to it's 4th weeks flowering. According to the article it should keep on flowering and not switch back to veg. This article was written for the Netherlands and where I live is below that latitude near the 48th, so they should keep on flowering. I saved a bit of pollen from my summer pollination run (see my Runtz Mintz Cream diary)and I'll be pollenating a branch, on this plant, this week, for future seeds. The plant is doing good. I see it's just starting to show some resin. I see lots of white stigma's, meaning... this plant will have big buds. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

24/02 - 44d 87cm/70cm little one getting bigger, big one starving, increased ferts this week 25/02 - 45d 87cm/74cm 26/02 - 46d 87cm/76cm 27/02 - 47d 87cm/77cm I put a layer of living soil on top of both, and I'm going to add more calcium/iron/magnesium, big one seems to be deficient in these nutrients. 28/02 - 48d the little one tied too 01/03 - irrelevant their size now, just tied end of week, they got def but are growing strong, recovered and getting big flowers

Beginning of week 2! Flowering is progressing nicely. All plants have been sexed. Ended up being 11:11 female:male. Can't complain Already got some stud males picked out from the hash plants and the Zed blacks. Rainbow belts f3 had one male and 2 female. The females appear to have two smells but identical looking growth. Tall and thin leaves. Little stretch. The male is short and stocky. No stretch at all. I have stopped feeding since I saw slight nitrogen toxicity in several plants. I've marked that they are more sensitive which is something I view positively in a no till living soil situation as long as the flowers can back them up. To control my water pH I am using 12% humic acid and highly fermented kombucha that is practically vinegar. Not great for the overall microbe population in the kombucha but good for lowering a 9+pH solution that comes out of my tap. I am pitching recharge in about .5tsp/gal as well. Plants are looking good. I have noticed that the Zed black is growing better under lower humidities. I have my lights off during the day in order to reduce the humidity load on my plants. At night when humidity spikes I'll rely on the LED light to burn off a lot of the humid air. However if I had watered recently, which is becoming every other day at this point, the humidity with remain high for awhile. I have now added a dehumidifier. It's been helping a lot and ZB is doing better. Update 1.5 week Flowers are stacking. Mostly in the males lol. But the female bracts are starting to swell. Now onto the stem rubs HP: WOW. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I cannot tell if I hate this with a deep passion or I'm just wanting to grow it out for morbid curiosity. Smells like nail polish remover plus sulfur. I would feel bad giving this to someone because it smells so bad. Had a few that smell more like a freshly opened can of tennis balls that I dig. ZB: very strong pinene smells. Earthy and spicy. Little bit of citrus. Nothing out of the ordinary. Grown many hash plants and this a quintessential example Rainbow belts 3.0: I got a zkittles pheno with classic flavor. Fruit. But with a slight rotten citrus undertone that gives it a little character. Another one is pure pine sol. 100% pine sol. I do honestly love this flavor. Will be using both for seed making. The male is lemon lime candy. Will be pollen source.

Had to flip finally. My other plant finally broke out of the stunt or whatever slowed its grow so it needed to flip.

Mid-week, I topped the plants, and #2 has been selected as the mother plant, showing growth traits closest to the Skunk phenotype. I chose this plant for its expected resilience, which I'm now starting to test. The plants are currently receiving foliar feedings three times a day and are kept in very humid conditions. #2 was exposed to intense LST, with the stem slightly bending at this young stage — there’s a chance I might need to grow a new mother plant, but we’ll see how it recovers. So far, they’re loving the conditions and growing quickly!

Day 175 04/04/25 Friday!! So she now enters her 24hrs dark period. Day 176 05/04/25 Saturday Harvest time

This strain goes really fast

Nothing peculiar so far, just buds getting bigger ✨ ✨ lots of flowers on two of the girls so my expectations are getting higher, let's hope for a big harvest 🤞🏻

Small but going... Nr III keeps going and plant II close to flowering, guess she gaining for now

I sprouted 2 feminized Chocolate Mint OG seeds from HSO 😁💪🌱 these were taken from a pack of 10,the remainder I will sprout after flowering these 2 so I can learn their growth patterns (morphology) first. I'm starting them in a Jiffy Tomato pod.(really like these for watering.u can really see how much water u are giving them.) On a heat mat at 74° for the 1st 7 days. They are under 2x Viparspectra 600w LEDs in a 2x4 tent. At day 7 I transplanted #1 into a 1gal plastic round pot. And the 2nd plant will be going into a 7"x7"x9" They are both in Happy Frog Soil medium by Fox Farms. The plan is 6 weeks veg then flower time!

welcome to day 5 of veg and i must say she looks very good and strong. still upset i cant get voodoo juice but vitathrive is as good a replacement as i have. any questions shoot me a comment like my work hit that like button and maybe check out my other diary's stay safe and keep your stick on the ice Day 9 of veg 10/07 man she is growing fast. did the transplant today

Rough week, seeing the full effects of nute burn and at the same time cal mag deficiency. Making some newbie mistakes here, didn’t realize how often I needed to give them cal mag so fan leaves started to yellow. Also didn’t realize the importance of watering until runoff with the medium I’m using so there was some build up causing the nute burn. PPM was 4000 when I flushed. I finally think I’ve got it all figured out thanks to friends with much more experience whom I should have reached out to sooner. Oh well, expected to make some mistakes and learn from them my first time around. Still have some big fat frosty colas! Can’t wait to take what I’ve learned into the next grow!

Chopped down the Blueberry Auto. Drying for 14 days if possible. Rh is at 50 temp is at 66° . Northern lights will have all the light hopefully she starts to swell up.

Dos Si Dos # 33 ready for drying in the jar, honest weight (53,5g) seeing the structure which was very small I would have expected something less.. but I am very satisfied. the quality of this weed is absolutely at the top, the taste is very well defined.. when smoked it makes your nose tingle,flavor it is mainly pure lemon with a hint of mint in it. even the strong smell induces an entire room in a few seconds without even smoking it yet. I also collected a 0.4g of scissor hash which turned out very well. it is my favorite in this crop because it surprised me in everything both for its unique terpene profile and for its yield that I never expected given its size compared to wedding cakes. the total weight therefore of all three plants is (135.5g) and a total trim of (44.9g) that according to the calculations even of these crops I reached (1g/watt) precisely. (And im not a pro) I am certainly satisfied with that. 🙌🏻💚

Been tough keeping up with everything started a new job and has been hectic lately. ladies are doing good. feeding her based on the biobizz schedule. Havent checked Ph or PPM of runoff in a bit but have been keeping nute solution between 6.1-6.3 Im so mad i topped her a little too early she smells so damn funky would have loved to see her get to her full potential. Cant wait to pop another of these and give her another try. Thickening a bit hopefully she'll end up with some small sized colas. Its tough getting pictures of her with the lights on in tent. better pics soon!!
