Once upon a time in a land far away, a fellow named smilley looked in the bean cupboard and discovered his bean supply was dwindling. Upon breaking the news to his wife, they discussed this troubling information and decided to sleep on it overnight and make a decision of what to do in the morning.

Mrs smilley tossed and turned for hours but finally slipped into a fitful, magical dream. In this dream, a leprechaun appeared to her and promised her a pot of gold and some sage advice if the glass slipper he was carrying would fit her. While trying on the slipper, it cracked and shattered into a million pieces. This angered the leprechaun immensely and he threated to turn the beautiful woman into a piller of salt.

Not taking kindly to threats, Mrs smilley grabbed the little leprechaun by the throat and promised to remove his head from his body if he didn’t cough up the gold, pronto. Sadly, the leprechaun admitted he’d spent all the gold on shatter and hash but would still give her the sage advice if only she’d leave his head on. Being a kindly lady, Mrs smilley grudgingly agreed.

The leprechaun spoke “...go forth to the Seed Venders and ask for the OG Kush beans, top shelf only, this will solve your dilemma and soothe your dreams...” The leprechaun disappeared in a puff of smoke, never to be seen again.
When she awoke, Mrs smilley had her morning wake&bake and went to the garden with a shovel to dig up her secret stash of gold. Then, she remembered that her beloved smilley had used the last sack of gold to purchase a new led light for his secondary flowering room.

With nowhere else to turn, Mrs smilley marched into the hen house and demanded that the goose within produce a golden egg with which to purchase some OG beans. Having seen Mrs smilley in action before, the goose did her best. She squawked and grunted, clenched and squirmed untill finally, out squirted a tiny golden egg, about the size of the little chocolate ones you see at Easter.
Having satisfied Mrs smilley’s demand, the goose was given a pat on the head and an extra handful of forage. She lived on in peace for many years until she ended up as the main course on smilley's Christmas dinner table one winter. But, that's another story.

Later in the day, Mrs smilley presented the golden egg to her spouse saying “ go into town, my lover and fetch Mamma some nice kushy beans and don’t settle for lower end ones, make sure they’re top shelf only”. Smilley kissed his wife, lit his travelling bong and headed out on the arduous trek with golden egg in hand.

Along the way, smilley was approach by a wolfish looking fellow who asked him where he was off to. Smilley proudly showed the wolf his golden egg and said he was off to the Venders to buy some good, top shelf kush beans. Ogling the egg enviously the wolf scoffed and said “Kush? yuck, what you need son is magical sativa beans”. He explained the mystical power of these beans and their ability to transcend any previous high and bring the occasional user to the edge of madness. “for that golden egg, I would exchange you two magical beans.

As negotiating was one of smilley’s strengths, he said “My wife would angry with me if I returned with only two beans for this golden egg, it’s worth at least 4 magical seeds”. “Ahhh, your a shrewd fellow smilley, I should have known better than to make you such a low ball offer, you’ve got a deal” said the wolf. “Besides, your wife would be angry if she found out you turned down magic beans” he added. “I accept your offer...”. In the blink of an eye, the golden egg disappeared from smilley’s hand and in it’s place appeared 4 little beans. As they parted company, smilley asked, “what do I call these magic beans?” Laughing in the distance, the wolf replied “Z-A-M-A-L-D-E-L-I-C-A!!!”.

On his way back home, smilley imagined how proud Mrs smilley would be of him for making such good deal. He thought to himself, “someone’s getting lucky tonight and it ain’t that damned goose”. There was a spring to smilley’s step and a smile on his face.
Upon returning home he was immediately confronted by Mrs smilley who demanded “did you get the top shelf Kush beans?”. Proudly, smilley unclutched his hand revealing the 4 little beans and said “I did even better darlin’, I got these 4 magic sativa beans...”. Horrified, Mrs smilley slapped the beans out of smilley’s hand, “you numbskull smilley, you traded our only gold for 4 useless beans, I’ve a good mind to tear your head off” she said. And then she marched off in a tumult of curses.

As if by magic, the 4 little beans slapped from smilley’s hand each landed in a small 6 inch pot in the grow room. Amazed by this, and fearful of his wife’s wrath, smilley gave the beans a little water and prayed for a miracle.....

A couple of days later, the magic beans began to grow... which brings us to the present times.....


Will smilley be allowed to keep his head? Will the magic beans grow into monsters? How did the mystical goosed end up on the dinner table? For the answers to these questions and many more, Stay tuned.

Thankyou my friends for such a warm and hearty welcome. While I was penning that narrative I wondered if everyone would think I was a bi-polar seed whore existing along the edges of civilization as a hippified hillbilly, slowly regressing back into his childhood as he grows older. Holy shit, I could use that as the opening line of my biography. Well, it’s all true, Mrs smilley will concur that I ain’t quite normal but most of the time I’m quite harmless. While paging through a few other zamaldelica threads I’ve come to the conclusion that most of you are as addled in the brain as I am. We’re gonna get along just fine and have some fun.

I’m gonna entertain you to the best of my abilities and your going to help me grow these plants, please. I need to pull 350g of top shelf weed out of my 4ft x 4ft room or Mrs smilley is likely tear my head off otherwise. She would like a duplicate of last crop, 11 sat/indica hybrids finishing in 11 weeks yielding 350 - 400g. My smaller secondary room will deliver some kushy goodness.

Typically I like to top my seedlings just above the second node. Is this a good thing for the zamaldelica? I do this to produce more top colas and a shorter stature. I’ve got a week or 10 days to decide so no rush but it’s my first decision I need to make. What do you folks think? I'd like an explaination of a vote for no topping;-)

Figure 110 days for the Zamaldeica cuttings.

Time depends on watts/nutes/medium, but you won't get
decent yield under 100 days, chop early is a no no.

Also figure a proper 60 day sweat for good effect.

I had two phenos for a few cycles in a micro grow.

Usually topped third node and LST for a decent yield
in 16 oz cups, coco hempy, with 165w PLL.

At 9 plants in a 4x4, figure 35+ grams per plant,
easily done with a good rig set up with Zamaldelica.

What he said.:laughing:
I usually end up at 4-6 leads per plant with Zam when I don’t scrog her. I think 4 oughta work nicely.. don’t be afraid to feed the stretch a little then clean out lower shit from bottom of colas... she responds really well to lollipopping usually. Even through mid flower I cut wispier shit out.
Edit: changed my mind... I would do 6 leads and cut two weakest off at initiation of stretch. Then you know you’ll have 4 strong branches or 5 “pretty good” ones to work with. Would suck to top at 4 and have one branch wind up stunted.
That’s me.

Dropped Cat- Your timeframe fits into my schedule easily. For round numbers, I was figuring on a 5 week veg and a 14 week flowering cycle. This would take the crop to the end of March giving me the entire month of April as a contingency. My plan for the potting is to veg for 3 weeks in the 6 inches, up pot to 2 gal till the end of stretch and finish in 20 liter pots. Hopefully, the larger root mass and more canopy room per plant will result in a larger gram/plant ratio. I really want 75g/ plant.

Yukon- Sounds like you and Dropped Cat are on the same page regarding topping. It makes sense topping above the 3rd node as It ensures an adequate number of main branches (leads as you call them). I can always cull some if things get too crazy or don't develope as expected.

You will enjoy concentrates of your plants, mind bending.


The buds are great as well.

Very cool beginnings, smilley, and of course mrs. smilley;) nice when growing's a family affair!
If you're running Zam fems, I would expect surprisingly fat little plants with great sog and scrog potential. If the regs, which would surprise me given the demands of the missus, there'll be more diversity and tropicalness, I believe.
You'll see in those 3 weeks what's what, and if you have any tropical NLD phenos, start them flowering right then. They'll get big and flower long time, while the squat, fatter leaved ones can be vegged for a month without eating your tent during stretch.
Here's a ZAm fem in the middle of a bunch of Hazes, and another flowered OD, with very similar phenotype, taste, smell, high.
Good luck, welcome aboard! deep

The Story Continues

The Story Continues

Smilley watched over his little seedlings relentlessly. “ They’re sure growing slowly” smilley thought to himself although they’d only popped above the surface a week ago. “I should have gotten the kush beans like I was told” he reasoned “but that nice wolf with the big teeth and big eyes seemed so honest and riteous. I'm sure he'd never cheat me".

Meanwhile, smilley's beloved wife was eating her curds and whey at the dinner nook. "Magic beans, indeed. That husband of mine is so gullible..." she thought. "Maybe I can get some Kush clones from one of those pig brothers down the road. I'll try the one living in the straw house, if he won't give me some clones I'll tear his head off and we'll at least have fresh bacon for the winter". The thought of bacon had the woman salivating. "Mmmmm bacon!"

On the way to the pig's house Mrs smilley met up with a wolfish fellow heading in the same direction. "My, what big ears he's got" she thought to herself. 'where are you off to?" she asked the wolf. He replied " I'm going to the straw house over yonder, I'm gonna huff & puff till I blow it in, then I’m having a pork sandwich". Horrified at the thought of losing out on some kush clones, let alone a winter’s supply of bacon, Mrs smilley replied “If I separate your head from your body, you won’t be huffing or puffing no more wolfy”. The two began to bicker.

The pig in the straw house saw the wolf and Mrs smilley arguing outside and knew no good could come of it. He quickly gathered up his clones and prepared to bug out to his brother Elmer’s house.

Back at the smilley residence, smilley was still ruminating over his precious seedlings “grow you little zammies, grow...” Had he really condemned his family to a life of bland idie/sat hybrids? Were the seedlings really magical? Would his little darling ever forgive him for not following instructions? Many other questions circulated through his troubled brain as he tried to will the little plants to grow. Grow little zammies, grow..............

Oh mrs. smilley have mercy upon they poor berated beast of burden! Your husband may have swallowed stories from a wolf but Kushy clones are something everybody knows!

And all beans need time to grow!
That wolf may not be your favourite fellow but he ranges far and wide in search of things to make him mellow.. his stories though they sometimes ring of embellishments cannot surely ALL be fairy tales!

I beg patience for your humble husband.. he will grow a beanstalk known most in legend and when you climb it you will see as far and wide as the wolf with magic beans!

Or at least have a good story....

The Story Continues

As the wolf and Mrs smilley bickered, they heard a loud slamming and saw the little pig scuttling away with an armful of clones. “Damn” snorted the wolf “there goes my pork sandwich”. “Double damn” said Mrs smilley “there go my kushy clones and a winter’s worth of bacon”. They both stared glumly at the straw house for a long time till Mrs smilley spoke “well, you may as well blow it in, there’s no kushy clones and no porky pig”.

The wolf offered a sheepish grin and said “I can’t really blow houses in, I generally try to look fearsome and threatening. Usually people are so terrified they try to negotiate with me, and I walk away with a nice consolation prize for not blowing their house in. If I can’t eat it, I trade it for something to eat. I know, it’s not pretty, but it’s a living”.

“So, you make a living by not blowing peoples houses in? That’s ingenious!!” reasoned Mrs smilley. For some reason, she was taking a liking to the mangy, flea bitten varmint.

The wolf went on “you mentioned kushy clones, the last house I didn’t blow in gave me 4 top shelf kushy clones. I would certainly trade them for a bacon & tomato sandwich, I’m starving. Besides, that pig is one of the Fudd brothers. My nephew, Bubs, sold them some bottom shelf kush beans years ago and they’ve been cutting lousy clones ever since. Now, I know my clones are a little road weary and weather beaten, but with some tender lovin care they’ll yield some kushy goodness.

The beautiful woman thought to herself “smilley could make those clones grow, and he’s got a new secondary flowering led. I’ve got some Canadian back bacon and some hothouse tomatoes...” “You’ve got a deal, wolfy" she said "Come over to my place and I’ll cook you a mess of BLT’s for them there clones”.

Smiling, the wolf replied “Please, good lady, call me JoJo, you know, like the dog face boy. I would enjoy dining at your table and besides these clones need repotting, asap...”. As the two walked back towards smilley’s place they exchanged stories and passed Mrs smilley’s travelling bong back and forth until they were fast friends and thoroughly
stoned...

While smilley waited for his gorgeous wife to return home, he sat in his grow room thinking to himself “These little zammies are looking better and better. For only 14 days of veg they look pretty darn good. They’re vigorous, healthy and working on their 4th nodes. One is a little smaller but she popped on the 3rd day of germ while the other 3 popped on day 2.” He decided to wait till the main stem was clear of the 3rd node before topping. Then he would consult the oracle as to where to top them. “Grow little zammies, grow.......”
