Defoliation done and the girls are with great look Royal queen seeds genetics Emerald harvest and advanced nutrients used Perfect size and branches

Welcome to week 10 of my Strawberry Cheesecake diary by seedsman, grown by me, Ctrellis90. So as you can see she's almost done! So that's pretty exciting! I had to get down and scrape out her top layer of soil last week because of some moisture problems in the soil but I think everything is fine for her last week in earth. The trichomes are almost right where I want them so that's all I'm doing now is waiting for those bad boys to turn so I can chop this pretty lady down. It was a lot of fun growing her, so much so that I had to out another one in the ground lol. This time in coots mix from BAS. Hopefully she doesn't burnt up....I've had that happen before when I mixed the soil wrong. Anyways I did give her just a little more Gaia all purpose for her last week just incase she has some more flower to put on for me. Well thanks for stopping by and next time you see this girl, she'll be hanging upside down!

I noticed around midnight 6/7 that she started to poke out of the ground, by the time I opened my tent at 11am 6/8, she had grown out of the soil and her first leaves unfolded. I kept the humidity dome over it for the first day and removed it the second day to give the seedling a bit more light. For the first week, until she is out of the seedling stage, I am running a 24 hour light schedule. I brought the light down to 20 inches above the plant and bumped it up to 325ppfd. My reasoning behind this is due to the fact that I feel my previous grow did not get enough light in this vital stage of growth and it put the plants behind by a week or two. In addition, according to Fast Buds, these plants benefit from high intensity lighting. One week from sprout and I am already seeing great growth compared to my last grow. Final thoughts on the first week: Overall, I feel that I am on the right track. Growth seems to be 3 days faster than where my previous grow was at around the 7 day mark and she is already forming her 2nd node of true leaves at a rapid rate. I did end up bumping up the PPFD to 350 around day 5 leaving the lamp distance to plant the same as before at 20 inches. She seems to be responding well to this, not showing any signs of stress. For the second week, I plan to switch to the vegetive stage, once the second set of true leaves develops a bit more. This will entail switching the light spectrum to better suite the vegetative stage, and changing the light schedule from 24hrs to 20/4. My previous grow's light schedule was at 18/6 and while I saw good results from this, I'd like to see if there are any benefits to a 20/4 light schedule. WEEK 1 AVG TEMP: 72.2F WEEK 1 AVG HUMIDITY: 74.7%

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

Top! Questa settimana è stata fantastica tutte le piante hanno strecciato in maniera uniforme! Fantastico con delle auto Le mie piccoline hanno patito 4 giorni di caldo con temperature sopra i 30°! Ora ho sistemato l'areazione e la temperatura va al massimo sui 28°! Ho incrementato la Co2 leggermente, in modo che le piante superino bene quelle ore di caldo! E sembra che stiano bene tutte! A voi il giudizio

At the start of week 3 she wasn't quite as big as what I would have hoped for but it looks like she is staring to turn it up a notch, for now I will just continue watering when dry. Started LST on day 20. Sorry about lack of photos on day 21.

Into week 6, biggest plant which seems a week or 2 ahead of others is paling a lot on bigger top leaves. Foliage under still green. Lights are a fair distance, all 3 on same feed no issues till now. Not sure if just the buds draining or not. Have started pk13/14. 2 smaller have some catching up to do. Hopefully home stretch, I wanted to be harvesting all together but don't think that be happening.

🌸🌿 Week 3: Blooms Unleashed! 😁 The stretch has gracefully come to an end, and now, the buds are making their grand entrance! 😁 Standing tall, our Lemon Orange proves to be a formidable presence, prompting the need for some strategic topping and ScrOG to keep its height in check. Growth Management: Given its impressive stature, a little intervention with topping and ScrOG is in order to ensure the plant stays within bounds. It's all about orchestrating the dance of growth. Aromas in Bloom: As the buds unfurl, so do the enchanting aromas. A symphony of citrus notes fills the air, signaling the flourishing flower stage. The pace is exhilarating, promising a delightful harvest in the making. Nutrient Nurturing: In the spirit of balance, I've opted for a mindful approach, utilizing only 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a careful dance to provide just what our Lemon Oranges needs for optimal growth and flavor development. The stage is set, and our Lemon Orange beauties are gearing up for a floral spectacle. With each passing week, the anticipation for the harvest grows, and the journey unfolds in a crescendo of green and citrusy bliss! 🌼🍊🌿

10/27: Strawberry Pies are the first to senesce, and also look to be the least ripe at this point...they need to hurry and fatten up some more! Wedding Cheesecakes will be the heaviest, but Orange Sherbet will prob have the fattest colas..except for Halle Berry, the Blackberry. She's so phat! Orange Sherbets are the most pungent so far, but the Strawberry Pies are a close second. 10/28: Found my cell phone lens kit after being misplaced for a few months...took a few photos with various lenses.😍 10/29: The shorter Wedding Cheesecake is a pinkish/purple..very cool! Everything is frosting up very well and their combined reek is truly horrid! I'll feed tomorrow, but all 3 Strawberry Cheesecakes are getting close to finished, one of the Orange Sherbets, and the other blackberry are not far behind them, so they'll get flushed as well. I gave Halle Berry a big drink of liquidsoil today just so she's nice and turgid when I harvest her on Sunday. 10/31: Early morning I harvested Halle Berry,

Day 15 plants are doing great 👍 still having problems with fouth seed second seed didn't germinate so here I go with number 3 seed for Yumboldt auto... Day 17 diffently great white is growing fast The Acapulco gold is still small really slow growth and Northern lights is average growth. filled resivors with ro water no nutrients yet.... Day 18 plants doing great took a Blueberry auto seed and germination has started. This is for the fourth plant for this room..none of the Yumboldt auto seeds germinated. All three of them Duds. Day 19 plants seem to be growing a little faster filled resivors with plane ro. Day 20 plants are starting to grow and are looking fine. Day 21 three weeks in and I'm thinking about adding nutrients to resivor by day 25 because great white shark is looking like roots maybe already down in resivor this thing is growing faster then the others.

Thank you. Growing cannabis is an art that seems to evolve as you learn it. While it may only take a little knowledge to get started, It seems that this may take a life-time to perfect (doubt I'll ever make that category, but I will certainly try). So thank-you to the community that Shares, Comments, Follows, and Likes. Your efforts in any of these actions make these journals a worth-while and perfect way for us all to learn. I personally appreciate it. Also a huge Thanks has to go out to Grow Diaries for making this community even possible. Your efforts to supply the data storage alone is more than enough, but you the fact that you dont stop there and constantly try to improve the experience even more makes this my favorite community to to share on. And then lastly, but certainly not least, a heartfelt Thank-you to Fast Buds for selecting me as 2nd place in a photo contest and making these seeds available, I'll try my best to honor the gift and opportunity to grow these. Your sponsorship in keeping the community active here is an in-valuable learning tool of its own. And then your branding/research helps give me confidence in knowing that I am working with great genetics before I even start my grow. ---------------------------- Germination Start 2/13/24 to 2/18/24 2/19 to 2/25 Veg Days 1 to 7 Week 0 to 1 Germination took 6 days from dropping in water to transplanting into 1 gallon pots. 29hours in a glass of 6.3ph room temp RO water. Something I would only attempt if they were both floating. They were,so leaving them that long they were able to crack open. I then placed both in paper towels wet with the glass water and pasted to the sides of the glass for 3 days (1 day too long in retrospect). I placed in rapid rooter pods and closed with toothpick tips. They popped out from the pods 1 day later but I gave them 2 days before transplant. Video: Incubator water level is key for rapid rooter pods to wick properly during incubation. Transplant to 1 gal pots: I am using a 50/50, 50%perlite/50%soil with a .5lb of dolomite lime and a .5ml of flora micro added to .5 gallon of RO water (Im mixing 2 gallons of soil total so the water to soil ratio is 1/4 of the total medium volume) to achieve a soil tested ph of 6.4. I am using a 50/50 soil/perlite mix because I plan to use these in auto pots. I also used about 1 cup of the same soil mix water to pour around the plant after transplant; you can see how the perlite rises to the top where I did this. I sprayed two domes and covered - I plan to leave covered for the first week. Feed: I kept them under the domes and sprayed every day that I didnt feed them, to keep humidity up while I let them find water in the soil. By the end of the week I took the domes off and took pictures. Feed this week was another 1 cup of 6.3ph water 5 days after transplant. Feed plan next week will increase the amount to 2 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I want to see the water run through so if I need to use more than 2 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefully spreading the roots out while doing it. Veg Plan: I plan on 8 colas for each plant. So that will be 3 topping days and a total of 7 cuts. I will want to cut the first time on day 21 if I have 5+ nodes. I will transfer to 5 gallon auto pots with-in 1 week of the first topping. Once I have 3 nodes of new growth past the first topping, I will top those two branches to the first node again. (that's 3 cuts total by this point) Then, after 3 new nodes of growth after that, I will do a last topping on the 4 branches. (4 new cuts added to make a total of 7 cuts and 8 colas) I will train the branches using LST/HST with tie downs as soon as I can after the first topping day to help maintain the branches growing where I want them to. I will also introduce an adjustable tomato ring after they have settled into the 5 gallon forever pots to provide support and mobility Hopefully all goes well, and I will have 1 to 2 weeks of growth before flip after week 8. I think it sounds more ambitious than it really is, but if you follow this journal, we will see together.

Very healthy looking seedling, starting to grow very fast, she's got a great size for 14 days only and I think I'll transplant her in a couple of days more when she is 17 days or so like the other ones in this run, they grow extremely fast under the tsl2000 by mars hydro, very happy with the results I'm achieving in terms of growth, I hope the same in flower! I have Transplanted this lady into her definitive 11l pot on February 6th which is her day 17 since she was planted, she's 4 days younger than the rest of the plants in this 2x4 run, she's looking very healthy and strong, let's see how she keeps developing herself!

This week i will flush the plants, meaning i will only give them tapwater with the right ph and with around 450-500ppm. I have overwatered some of the plants under the LED so i will let them dry almost out before giving them water next time.. I have made alot of mistakes i think in this grow but they seem to be doing okay, i have a goal of atleast 50g from each plant, so we will see if thats realistic. Please comment if you have any advise for me or any feedback, thank you and peace out Day 29 the plants are just doing their thing and im waiting for them to dry out before i will give them water again Day 31 Giving the plants water, they are growing quick now though i have some small problems with some deffereinces caused by overwatering i think, because i started the seeds in so big a container it was hard not to. But for my expercince autoflowers dont like to be transplanted Will update doing the week

First plant already shows signs after 2 days.

Excited to finally have the baby cut down and now letting her dry out! Wet trimmed some pieces but then leaving rest to do dry. I am excited to share future grows00

02/23 - Day 51 Seems like the extra teas of Cal/Mag, Girl Flower Power, and Epsom Salt has stopped the curling and dying of leaves. Just trying to hold on to the ones I have left! Buds seem to be progressing well, (D) seems to be behind but she lost a lot of leaves. (B) (C) are getting some dense little buds. All of the girls are starting to show some purple hues on the leaves. 02/26 - Day 54 Things are progressing and I’m happy with the results so far. Really seeing the buds get tighter and starting to look like little clumps of pebbles. (B) & (C) have some sweet/citrus aromas coming out. Pistils are starting to change colors.

🏆 Eternity Grow Cup 2025 with Plagron and Zamnesia 🏆 Zamnesia – Runtz 93 days from seed | 62 days in flower The time has come — harvest day is here, and our incredible journey with this beautiful Runtz from Zamnesia has come to a fragrant, frosty end. For the past two weeks, she’s been enjoying pure, clean water as we prepared her for the finish line. Her leaves gently faded to gold, signaling her maturity, while the trichomes turned from cloudy to amber — with about 15% showing that deep golden hue we were waiting for. She grew strong and vibrant thanks to the outstanding genetics from Zamnesia Seeds, and we’re beyond grateful for this opportunity to cultivate such a top-tier strain. Her structure, aroma, and resin production were truly impressive. A massive thank you to Plagron as well — your nutrients have once again proven to be the perfect fuel for our grow. Easy to use, reliable, and effective — we couldn’t ask for better support for our plant’s development. Stay tuned — soon we’ll share the dry weight and a full smoke report. But for now, it’s time to celebrate the harvest!
