So far so good. 2 seeds now in pots and hopefully on the way. Be assured as soon as the babies come out i will get some pics up.👏

Used royal queen seed fems popped 4 and 3 where successfully. Through veg stage no problems quite sturdy plants growth rate was the same on all round, had abit of nitrogen deficiency. Flower stage everything changed plants started to grow at different weeks and need separate feeds which became annoying, think this was done to pheno types being different. Drying stage: I used this new herb dryer called wedryer for to plants and hung the other in the tent. Wedryer works if you have small yield as can’t fit a lot, drys within a week though but also looses flavour. Have to wet trim bud and then leaves bud flat in one side due to them sitting on the dryer netting. Has fan with carbon filter which stops smells. (But myself prefer hang drying). Used trimbag to finish the buds off love this product and recommend to others to buy.

Happy to have this beast in flower. No major stretch so far; fingers crossed it stays that way. Will continue to defoliate and add flowering nutes in the next week or 2. Photos/video taken 84 days after breaking soil, day 7 of flower.

Here we grow! These are clones of Mandarin Cookies, rooted in peat plugs, under low light T5 Sunblaster 24w, inside a dome, keeping humidity levels high.

**I am glad I saved pics. from weeks 1-3 because I was lagging in getting this account setup** - with that's being said, the "girls" (speaking it into existence) are coming along quite well. My last grow I used Green Planet's: Medi-One from veg - harvest, and although the overall turnout was pretty good, I just felt like I was a little heavy handed. This time I am trying something a little different and I'll be feeding the plants coconut water and potentially: -rice water** -banana peel water -boiled egg shell water -onion skin water* I am trying to do this as organic/affordable as possible, and although I haven't seen many cannabis forums talk about these natural fertilizers in depth (if at all), I have found that they are quite common practices in Indian gardening (if anyone is interested I'll link the YouTube videos). I can only imagine that these techniques are not isolated but, most likely common in Eastern gardening in general.... *if anyone can confirm this let me know Also, I did go ahead and top 3 of the 4 plants at the 5th node. I am going to hold off on topping the runt for a while and will go ahead and solely focus on LST for now. I don't want o stress her any further. **Lastly I am not the type of grower that measures things and has schedules, I admire that style of regiment and see it being beneficial commercially... but this is ENTIRELY about observation and the pleasure of growing personally so, forgive me if I don't have detailed notation lol... Feel free to ask me questions about: feedings, lighting, or anything else you're curious about

Germinated in paper towel and then in soil prepared 24 hours before just with water. I decided to do outdoor cause temperature now is good but i m not sure is going to be hot enough for all the month.

Hello friends of growdiaries. As you can see, the difference between the two plants is enormous. It must be a question of seed genetics. flowering advances. See you soon

Such Bittersweet Joy Added this week as ‘Flowering’ although technically should be harvested as I but I haven’t had a chance to weigh or anything. I will do that next week once trimmed etc. So finally cut them down on D89, it was a beautiful day outside and it just felt right. Although when it came to the deed itself I felt sadder than I thought I would for my girls and the time we had together. All 6 (I’m growing another 3 different strains but not included on this diary) are now hanging to dry in the tent. Temp -18 C; Humidity-60% seems to be holding steady with no tinkering thankfully. After the 3 days they have all dried noticeably, perhaps 4/5 more before trimming / curing. I’ve had quite a close look at most of the harvest and as far as this noob can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any issues with mould / bud rot. Fingers remain crossed. I did have one very profound moment this week... It happened as I was surveying the harvest hanging up for the first time. I could feel my mindset change suddenly from the constant paranoia over their health and overcoming my impatience to “I actually have a crap load of weed”. It was beautiful beautiful moment... Thanks for reading. Have a great week 😊

Week 6 flower : I stopped the pk half way through week 6 so it had a total of 10 days feed with pk13/14 I also cut out the silicone and calmag on the same day . I defoliated a little as there was a lot bud sites covered . I am going to start the flush in 3 days which will be . .6 1/2 weeks into flower , going to give them 2 weeks flush with plain water . Still have a bit of leaf curl from the light being so close I did move it but because the canopy is not so even it’s hard to get it right .

I need to dry the buds in the dark at 19 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity. I hope the effect will be good, The only thing I don't like is that she has too many leaves and I get very tired when trimming the buds, but that's the fault of the strain and genetics and that's how it should be!

The Tropicana Cookies are starting to flower really nice, the Zkittlez want to grow out of the Tent i guess. Total Nutrient Consumption over the week was around 40 Liters :D

Les semis se portent bien 🙏🏻 Voilà maintenant 7jours qu’elle sont en pot 05/10/24 J’ai mis un compteur, j’ai actuellement 41 watt de consommation 37 pour la lampe et 4 pour les ventilation Box terminé, lampe fixer et ventilation mise

I am posting this on day 20 of flower. Stretching seems to have slowed dramatically. Getting some great buds forming. Drinking about 7 gallons a day. Everybody is happy! I supercropped maybe 10 shoots that were too eager, and now the canopy is nice and even. A little taller than I planned for the scrog, but it should work out well.

So, into day 9 of 12/12 and the girls have responded quickly. Bud sites appearing everywhere. Top dressed with some more nutrients, have had daily manicuring, i prefer little and often rather than 1 massive blast. I have turned the lights up to 85%, and will work it to 100 over the next week or so.

Cant wait till flush to see em purp OUT OR BLACK OUT 💜🖤🎩🌈🍬

This week was great, environment is dialed in. No deficiencies have shown up, I’ve been increasing some of the flower nutrients gradually to get them prepped for 🌸. I’ve been gradually increasing the light intensity by about 5% every few days, they have been responding well 😀 Snapped the main left top off one of the girls earlier in the week, she bounced back though. Also did some defoliation and continued with the LST. They are bushing out very nicely, lots of top’s! 😍 This will be the last week of veg, l’m going to put in the SCROG net later this week. Get them settled and tucked, and once all the girls are healthy and strong, I’ll change the light cycle to 12/12, and continue to tuck and twist while they stretch. Happy growing folks! 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Day 29 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Starting a new week with some exciting plans! 🌿 We've got about one more week before we transition the plants to the flowering phase. Just to recap last week's updates for those following along: We’ve named all the plants in both grows. This makes it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post. We've built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants. A SCROG net helps train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it to ensure all plants get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy. We’ve placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. We're considering whether we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or if a dehumidifier would be a better option. We're leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch both grows progress and prepare for the flowering phase!" Day 33 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Exciting news for our second grow: we’ve added a new member to the grow tent – a praying mantis! 🦗 Her species is Timor shield mantis, and she still needs a name. We got her to help with pest control naturally. Praying mantises are excellent predators and can help keep unwanted insects away from our plants. Feel free to suggest a name for her! Any tips or fun facts about keeping a mantis in the grow tent are also welcome!" Day 34 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Big update today: we’ve switched the timer to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate the flowering phase! 🌸 Our second batch of plants, just like the first, has developed well and we believe they’re ready to start blooming. This change should encourage them to shift their energy towards producing buds. For those following along, here’s a quick recap: We've implemented a SCROG net to manage the canopy and ensure even light distribution. We've introduced a Timor shield mantis for natural pest control. The plants have responded well to all adjustments and are looking healthy. Now that the flowering phase is starting, we’re excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this phase? Let us know in the comments!"

I thought of it fungus gnats 😡 but I've already started deratization with nimba oil 😉 who helped me last time.
