Aug 2: Mimosa Shot is hitting her stride now. She didn’t like the cooler temperatures as much as Sunday Punch EV, for example, but she’s loving this hot start to August. Aug 3: done with force flowering and will now just leave her in the yard. So, back up to 15.5 h of daylight here now. Still using far red light at dusk. Aug 6: Mimosa Shot has stretched again, likely mostly due to 3 days of hot weather.

10/26: All but one are flowering now, and most are stretching. There are a few shorter ones, thankfully, so they'll get moved up to the top of the closet in another day or two and I'll have a little more room for the big girls to spread out a little bit. 10/27: I rearranged the garden a little bit today and checked whether they needed water or not. I foliar fed with Big Bloom and a little Tiger Bloom today. I'm seeing signs of potassium deficiency on several of them. 10/28: I watered everybody with about 1/4 gallon and included a little terpinator, cal-mag, bembe, and beastie bloomz. I uploaded a couple of photos showing some weird curling of the newest growth...just an odd varietal trait I think because I've seen it before on my Candy Cane F2's. 10/29: I rotated everybody on the edges and plucked some older, lower leaves. They are damn near totally dry, so flushing tomorrow. 10/30: I decided not to flush based partly on how shitty the weather is right now...and partly because I'm seeing some N deficiency signs in several plants and really can't afford to put off feeding them again until they dry after a 3-gallon flush. So, instead, I thoroughly watered everybody with about 3/4 gallon including cal-mag, myco/tricho, beneficial bacteria, humic acid, bembe, and terpinator. I let them sit in their catchment trays long enough to soak all the run-off back up, so they are fairly well saturated now with things that should make the roots really happy. I've added another oscillating fan and got the hygrostat set to kick on the exhaust whenever the humidity reaches 55%, so it's pretty much staying on right now. Hopefully they are dried back out by Friday so I can give them a last good dose of N to help with their stretch. I'll also start going heavy with P and K, and increase terpenoid and flavonoid enhancers. I'm gonna give Signal by True a try when I finish my current bottle of Terpinator. I just can't bring myself to keep paying over $60/gallon when I can get a gallon of Signal for under $40. While watering today, I emptied the closet completely and had plants all over the place...my cats were in heaven..stalking each other under the jungle canopy.😺 It really does amaze me that I'm fitting all these plants into such a small space..😳 10/31: I rotated the edge plants and checked their moisture level. I'll feed them tomorrow. 11/1: I took everybody out of the closet and did a little defoliating. I fed everybody with about a half-gallon including all the good stuff.

Taking full advantage of the sun so keeping these girls vegging another week or so since I'm getting rapid growth everyday no point halting them now every single plant is bushy and healthy over the moon with the results so far all nice big thick stocks aswell the seeds were like the size of a large pea highly recommended

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

So far so good this week. She is getting a lot thicker and the tricone production is really starting to kick in.

Time flies when youre having fun! 😁 Getting stacked and approaching the final stages... it´s gonna be tricky since they some look closer than others! Have to keep an eye and start with the daily inspections 😉 This grow I was focusing more on quality and it seems it´s an improvement from the last one! 😍 ❤️💛💚

VEG +26 jours. Elles sont toutes très jolies, et ont reprises une pousse bien forte 💪 Je suis passé au doses complétes d'engrais, @MadameGrow @BiobizzWWO , additionné de #allzymes @Cellmax_Nutrients pour améliorer la disponibilité des oligo-éléments ainsi que des micro et macro-nutriments, dont à besoin nos plantes. J'attends quelques jours que les plantes se ramifies un peu plus, et je ferai la sélection du prochain nœud que je garderai pour la suite. A plus... Let's Grow, les bro!👊😋 ✌️😜

The lower budsites have come in nicely over the last couple weeks and I finally got a digital microscope to inspect the trichomes. I have a few amber so far with some cloudy but majority are still clear. I think I have a week or two left before I chop her. She has one more watering+feeding left before I start the flush in about this time next week assuming I get some more cloudy+amber trichomes before then, if not I will continue with current feeding schedule until I'm satisfied.

❤️🍀my first sativa👀

Week 14 from seed — or around Week 9 flower in this 12/12 from seed journey — and today we focus on our Sour Diesel. The small one. The difficult one. The “unhappy” girl of the room. And honestly? Sometimes those are the plants that teach us the most. This report also represents the beginning of harvest time for her, although we decided to divide the final documentation into multiple updates because there were simply too many photos and too much to talk about in a single post. So this entry focuses mainly on the living plant itself: her structure, morphology, resin production, density, colors, trichomes, and overall expression before harvest. The next report will go deeper into the harvest process itself — cutting, trimming, drying, observations after chop, and eventually the smoke review once everything is properly cured. Now, let’s address the obvious part first: yes, she stayed much smaller than the rest of the room. And that’s completely okay. When growing multiple genetics together in one shared environment, perfection for every individual plant becomes impossible. One room cannot fully satisfy the exact preferences of every cultivar at the same time. Some genetics dominate the environment naturally, while others adapt differently. Sour Diesel in this case never became the biggest or happiest plant in the tent, but she never stopped fighting either. And honestly, there is something beautiful about that. Despite her smaller structure, she produced dense, compact flowers with excellent frost coverage and surprisingly solid stacking. She may not have filled the room vertically, but she absolutely made her presence known up close. Sometimes quality hides inside smaller frames. Morphologically she developed in a very compact way compared to the taller spear-shaped plants around her. Tight internodes, clustered flower sites, chunky calyx development, and resin-covered sugar leaves gave her a very distinct look in the room. As harvest approached, the flowers started showing more maturity signals everywhere: pistils darkening and curling inward, calyxes swelling harder day after day, resin heads thickening, and that beautiful late-flower texture beginning to appear across the buds. And honestly, the trichomes are looking gorgeous. Frost levels became impressive for such a small plant, especially in macro range. Under magnification, the flowers almost stop looking real. Tiny crystal forests everywhere, sticky sugar leaves, swollen resin heads, and layers of texture forming across every surface. Some trichomes are still clear, many are cloudy, and small amber signs are beginning to appear here and there — exactly the kind of progression we like to monitor carefully during these final stages. The colors also started telling the end-of-cycle story. Greens slowly softening, pistils shifting into orange and brown tones, flowers tightening up and looking heavier despite the plant’s overall small size. She may not have been the easiest plant in the room, but visually she absolutely earned her moment. And of course, we cannot ignore the newest member of the inspection team: our tiny plastic fly friend. He or she took the job very seriously this week, carefully inspecting trichomes, density, calyx development, and overall quality control during the photoshoot. Thankfully, the inspection passed successfully. No complaints from management. This update is also a reminder that not every successful plant needs to be gigantic. Sometimes growers become too focused on size and forget to appreciate resilience, uniqueness, resin quality, flower density, or simple beauty. Sour Diesel may have remained compact, but she still carried herself with character all the way to the finish line. For now, we continue observing and documenting her final living moments before harvest. The next update will dive much deeper into the actual chop, trimming, drying process, and final impressions once she officially completes her journey. So if anyone has been following this little fighter since the beginning, stay tuned — we are not finished with her story yet. Massive thanks once again to everyone involved in this journey: Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the support. The sponsors and equipment partners helping make these projects possible. Grow Diaries for providing the platform. The growers sharing advice and positivity. The longtime followers who have been here since the first weeks. The new people discovering the project now. The skeptics, the critics, the silent viewers, the supporters — everybody crossing through here adds something to the experience. From grower to growers, thank you for following along. And to our little Sour Diesel: small, stubborn, frosty, and unforgettable. — A quick note about some of the macro photos and “photo merges” shared in this diary. A lot of the close-up images shown here are actually focus-stacked macro photographs. That means they are not a single photo, but a combination of many images merged together to create one final detailed shot. Depending on magnification and depth, some stacks here were made from around 50–60 photos, while the biggest one in this update reached around 255 individual frames. Why? Because at high magnification, the depth of field becomes incredibly small. Sometimes only a tiny part of the trichome or calyx is in focus at once. So we take many photos while slowly shifting focus through the subject, capturing different layers of detail from front to back. After that, all frames are merged together using Affinity Photo 2, creating a single image with much more depth and sharpness than a normal macro shot could achieve alone. Final color adjustments and edits are also done afterward to better represent what we experienced visually in the studio. So behind every “simple” trichome photo there is actually a surprising amount of work, patience, and processing involved — but honestly, it’s worth it. These plants become entire microscopic worlds once you get close enough. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Cut the plants down on the 24th of April, drying room levels are 72°F and around 60%RH, I'm currently on Day #14 of drying and the buds don't feel fully dry yet, the main tops feel crunchy and dry but the lower smaller buds are still quite moist and smell like chlorophyll, I think I may harvest the main tops so I don't overdry and leave the rest in the tent for another few days, either that or put the rest of the buds in a brown paper bag to finish drying. Finished dry trimming the plant ended up with 200 grams dry weight not including trim there's another 2 ounces of trim which if you want to include that would bring the total weight from this 250W LED to 256 grams. I'm super happy with the result of this especially for my first grow and from one autoflower, it can only get better from here on out. FYI Not sure why I can't edit the lights I used but the bloomgro 600W LED is PULLING AN ACTUAL 250W FROM THE WALL so the gram/watt should be .8g/W

This week has gone great! Apricot auto has taken very well to the topping,feedings and the low stress training. I must say,it’s a very resilient cultivar. Very excited to see the flower she produces.

The plants are looking good. The LST has been readjusted and a few of the sun leaves have been removed.

The plant stretched a bit and the weather was quite bad for the month of May. But in general, the first week of growth went well!

Flush for 2 days then Harvesting weekend .

The fbt29 is on day 77 and is a few weeks from harvest. Expecting her to go over 90 days. She's hella frosty and smells exactly like her sibling did. Great signs of stability from the fastbuds tester. Zkittlez and forgotten cookies are on day 40 and got their first training. Theyre in stretch since a few days ago. More big girls in the making :D Orange Sherbet is on day 20. So far she's on schedule. This strain seems to be sensitive to nitrogen. The grape walker kush and fugue state are on day 14 and are doing well after dealing with heat issues last week
