Buenas noches familia, sorpresa, jueves noche por aquí , actualizamos las power plant xL. Es la última semana antes de nuestra cosecha, el tiempo se nos echó encima y las Flores ya están echas, se preparó un lavado de raíces y tijeretazo,para sucesivamente colgarlas.( PRIMERA VEZ que se me echa el tiempo encima con la floración, jurao) Me habría gustado darles algo de estrés hídrico, pero lo veremos con las lemon kush y las northern light xL. -power plant xL es una cepa con predominancia sativa, con una corta floración,es un ejemplar fácil de cultivar, fuerte, y vigoroso. Estos ejemplares se cultivaron en 7L en sustrato light MIX de plagrOn, controlando en todo momento el PH de nuestras plantas, y dándoles de comer una gama advanced nutrients bastante básica. -PROS: facil cultivar, flores llenas de resina , flores compactas, ramas laterales largas. -CONTRAS: hay que tutorar por el peso de la flor, floración demasiado rápida a mi gusto (no te das ni cuenta). *Aquí ya me despido hasta la cosecha familia.

Esa familia, a que pintan fenómeno estas skunks?. Es que Zambeza hizo un gran trabajo con esta variedad, es una cepa que es bastante rápida en floración, crece muy bien en su etapa de crecimiento, y sobretodo es aparte de típica, muy sencilla de cultivar. De mis favoritas hasta ahora para indoor, como siempre, controlamos el ph y la humedad (siempre dentro de los parámetros correctos establecidos). La semana que viene nos vemos con más avances , un saludo.

Cosmic Noodles Auto — Final Strain Review 14 Weeks From Seed To Harvest — 12/12 From Seed What a ride this one has been. Our Cosmic Noodles Auto officially comes to an end after 14 weeks from seed to harvest, grown fully under a 12/12 light cycle from day one, side by side with photoperiods and other autoflower genetics inside the 8x8 tent — no special treatment, no isolated environment, no extended light schedules. And honestly? She absolutely crushed expectations. This entire run was another reminder that autoflowers do not necessarily need 18/6 or 24/0 to produce beautiful flowers and respectable yields. With proper environment, stable feeding, patience, and healthy roots, they can still thrive and deliver excellent results even under a no-veg approach like this one. We started this project with three plants. One of them unfortunately became part of an overwatering experiment that eventually led to losing the plant around early-to-mid flower. While painful, it became an important educational moment. We documented the process honestly so growers could learn from it — what overwatering looks like, how roots respond, and what to avoid. If anyone is interested, those reports are still available further back in the diary. The remaining two plants, however, grew with very little resistance. Easygoing, vigorous, resilient, and surprisingly adaptable considering the mixed environment and unconventional schedule. And in the end? 372.1 grams dry from the two harvested plants. For autoflowers grown under 12/12 from seed, mixed together with photoperiods, we are genuinely very happy with these numbers. But beyond numbers, what truly stood out was the quality. ⸻ Drying Process After harvest, the plants were dried whole for approximately 10 days. The environment stayed around: * ~20°C * ~60% RH During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally kept closer to ~45% to help remove the initial excess surface moisture from the flowers before stabilizing the drying curve more gently afterward. The slow dry helped preserve aroma, resin texture, and overall flower integrity beautifully. And the smell coming from the drying room… incredible. ⸻ Hand Trimming — Slow, Sticky & Worth It Once drying was complete, every flower was separated and hand-trimmed carefully using the Zamnesia scissors together with the Trim Bin setup. Hand trimming takes time. A lot of time. But it also allows a level of precision and care that machine trimming simply cannot replicate. Every bud gets individual attention. Resin heads stay more protected. Structure remains more natural. And honestly, it becomes part of the ritual itself. Our fingers were absolutely coated in resin by the end of it. Sticky gloves. Sticky scissors. Sticky everything. The Trim Bin itself collected a beautiful layer of golden dry sift during the process, and naturally, none of that went to waste. Everything was collected carefully and stored cold for future enjoyment. Even the smallest parts of the harvest deserve respect. ⸻ Curing — The Part Many People Rush After trimming, the flowers were placed into Grove Bags for curing. For larger harvests especially, these bags are honestly an amazing tool. The TerpLoc technology helps maintain the internal humidity in the ideal curing range of approximately 58–62%, reducing the need for constant burping while helping protect the flowers from excessive moisture swings. This matters because curing is not simply “storing weed.” Curing is the process where the flowers slowly stabilize and mature internally: * chlorophyll continues breaking down * harshness reduces * aromas become cleaner and deeper * terpenes settle and express themselves better * smoke quality improves significantly This is why we usually prefer allowing at least one month of curing minimum, while many flowers continue improving for two or even three months depending on the cultivar and storage conditions. Patience changes the experience dramatically. And Cosmic Noodles definitely rewarded patience. ⸻ Aroma & Smoke Even straight off the trim, the first smoke test was already extremely enjoyable. The dominant profile came through as: * citrus * floral notes * earthy depth * creamy herbal background As curing progressed, the profile did not change dramatically — it simply became more refined, cleaner, smoother, and more layered. The smoke itself leans toward the relaxing side. Comfortable, calming, peaceful. Not a “race your brain” type of cultivar, but more something to slow down with and enjoy properly. A dedicated smoke review will eventually come separately, but first impressions are honestly fantastic. ⸻ The Final Flowers The cured flowers developed beautifully over time. Dense but still natural. Resin-rich without looking artificially swollen. Strong aroma retention. Sticky interiors. Frosty surfaces. And some truly beautiful structure throughout the harvest. We are also sharing photos of the cured flowers after roughly one and a half months of curing so people can see how the flowers evolved after resting properly. Because sometimes the real magic happens after harvest. ⸻ Final Thoughts Cosmic Noodles Auto turned out to be: * easy to grow * adaptable * resilient * productive * aromatic * enjoyable from start to finish And most importantly: fun. No drama. No impossible feeding requirements. No extreme sensitivity. Just a solid cultivar capable of producing beautiful medicine even under unconventional conditions like 12/12 from seed. For us, this one easily earns: ⭐ 10/10 ⭐ ⸻ Thank You Huge thanks to everybody involved in this journey: * the breeders and genetics teams * the companies providing gear and support * the platforms that allow us to document these grows * the communities following along * the OG followers who have been here since the beginning * the new people just discovering the diary now * the supporters * the skeptics * the silent viewers * even the haters stopping by for five seconds Love is still sent your way. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for accompanying us through the cure once again. 🍃 Because in the end, this was never only about chasing numbers. It was about learning, documenting, improving, sharing experiences, and appreciating the process from seed to final smoke.

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.

In this breeding adventure, I can say the best taste and smell quality.

Day 28: Happy days folks. hope we are all well and sane still. This week has been a good week for node stacking and starting her frost making it seems. She is a great size to work with now and has responded well to the stripping out of the lower larf and leaf. The airflow is perfect below decks now and allows air to move through the whole canopy and also light to make it through. Her buds are showing her Gelato 41 genetics with their appearance and are identical to the white flame like pistils. She is giving a slight terpene of sweetness and a little diesel too. Her stripping out had my fingers feeling a nice tacky , oily feel to them so she is certainly starting to nurture the budlets. Their golfball appearance is swelling daily and seeing how lose they are to joining up already , holds hope for some long chunky colas. She is approx 3ft now and a good circumference to her too. It is a safe assumption to think she will go the full 11 weeks flowering based on her parentage. The cross of these two strains is so far producing a perfect sized plant for my room and has given me the confidence to dabble in this area in the future I think. Gorilla Zkittelz/Blue Gelato41 is a good X and I know from another seed popped by a friend that Gelato41/Hulkberry creates a 5ft cola'ed monster plant. ( pic in my photos) and I still have crosses of Gelato41 and Cookie Kush , Gelato41 and Phantom O.g , Gelato41 and Orange Sherbet to run !!. I am fortunate to have a lot of these new beans now but I also have some amazing sponsored genetics running and some exciting testers still to do ( 9 more fast flowering strains to put through the wringer and try to identify !.lol) . Well that's another week down and only 7 to go for her. !!!!!!! she has a lot of big stacking buds growing time left. WATCH THIS SPACE !!!!!. Be safe people.

AlienZ Automatic - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 89 - watered with 3L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients in order and then pH'd to 6.3.🚿 She's in week 8 of flower now and I think this will be her last diary entry before harvest! I gave her a good defoliation today to remove most of her remaining fan/larger leaves as she doesn't need them anymore, I've also completely removed all nutrients from her feed, anything defined is from her very last feed - she is now just on plain RO water 👍🏻 she will be watered maybe twice more this week, before I leave her to completely dry back, at which point she will be harvested🌸✂️. She was really enjoyable to grow and smells lovely and floral, with hints of candy and earth, lots of vibrant colours too!

Semaine 10 : Dixième et Dernière Semaine de Floraison – Late Flower / Récolte (22-28 avril 2026)Note : Fin du cycle pour cette culture. Récolte anticipée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. Les données GrowOps confirment une fin de cycle propre malgré l’interruption.Contexte et Objectifs de la SemaineSemaine 10 sur 14 : on était en late ripening. L’objectif était de finaliser la maturation des buds, densifier les trichomes et préparer le flush. Steering : génératif maintenu jusqu’à la fin, avec baisse progressive des paramètres (température nuit 14-15 °C, humidité 29-39 %, PPFD 550, EC 1.0). Les 3 derniers jours : flush clean à EC 0.7 (eau pure + Terra Aquatica minimal) pour éliminer les sels et améliorer le goût final.Petit tips éducatif : Botrytis (pourriture grise) et gestion en fin de cycle Le botrytis est un champignon qui adore les environnements humides, mal ventilés et les buds denses en ripening. Il apparaît souvent sous forme de taches grises/brown avec du duvet. Prévention : Baisser l’humidité nuit (

Day 52-64 (Day 54) I’m going to thoroughly inspect each plant and remove bananas if found. So far it’s only been the one on #7 but I don’t want to take a chance. I’m also going to give a watering with some runoff. (Day 55) Can’t find anymore bananas but that one. I will probably find a few bag seeds but who knows. It’s way too late for pollen to really have effect anyway. These 5 plants finish nice and early compared to my other tent flipped on the same day. I would never take this strain 65+ days like last time. I would do 56-60 days next time I flower this strain (Day 58) Holy shit this tent is fading like crazy now. They are starting to show some beautiful autumn colors. #1 #5 and #7 are definitely done. #3 and #6 could use a little more time so I’ve decided to take them down on the 24th. I haven’t seen anymore bananas and the one that popped out on #7 has shriveled up and receded. (Day 63) I’m seeing what look like seed pods starting to form in some of the main colas on my picture perfect pheno. #7 is showing 3 or 4 little bananas too. All of the top buds are definitely done so I’m going to harvest as soon as the lights come on tomorrow. I’m going to give one last watering right now and then harvest. I’ve noticed that harvesting a watered plant will extend the dry time by a few days and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. A nice slow dry. Plants are being full plant hung + dry trimmed and tent is being kept at 60-65 degrees and 60-65% RH. Cutting everything down was a pain in the ass. I had to individually cut each square the scrog net so it wouldn’t contract and squish all the buds. I chopped down my other tent as well so I have no other plants in flower right now.

Day 1 of Flower

Buds gettin frosty!

Critical x Animal Cookies is growing good under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She is just behind the others in the run from being stunned at start. She is doing good now, and hopefully she should start developing very soon. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

The size of the cola on this plant is wild. I did defoliate this week to get better air movement and more light to the buds. I'm excited to see the yield!

Week 10 for Ztrawberry by Greenhouseseedco, Her colour is getting so much better! Look at that darker green coming in with the new growth. Still needing her to toughen up a bit before we get into flower.

Hi all buddies! First crop from hydro nft growth. Growth went well, I had some management problems in changing nutrients from veg to bloom which delayed the harvest for a week or two. Sensi Seeds' Skunk # 1F is incredibly resistant to mold and insect attacks, very close internodes ensure low height and compact buds. Unfortunately I chose the mother phenotype wrong, I found the lowest as I wanted but I lost the fatness of the buds present in other phenotypes, but the game was worth the same and I am very proud of it! I collected after 94 days of flowering, the last 72h 20kg ice cubes in the tank and total darkness which the last 24h without irrigation. After cutting I hung the whole plants in the tent for 24 / 48h 19 ° C 55% HR. Two days of wet trim to 8 girls and I hung their colas in the tent to continue drying. With a girl i tried dry trim but i will avoid next time. After a week in the tent I cleaned the colas and removed all the sticks, I placed everything in airtight bags in the refrigerator for 5 days 12 ° C 65% HR (daily check). Now dark storage room at a temperature of 18 ° C 65% HR. At the last weighing a few days ago it was more than 500g, from now it does not lose any more weight. Next week I will take pictures of the weigher and the finished harvest🍀🍀🍀 target!!🍀500g dry/cured🔥 Thank you GD community you are precious for everything, criticism, advice, curiosity, thanks 💚🌱✊🏼 Awesome people here on GD🔥🔥🔥

Flush week. Plants are fading to yellow, more pics will be posted next week.

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

March, 30th One Plant was ready, and was Harvested today She smells like fruit Bubblegum. Buds are smaller but very solid The other Plants still flowering, and smelling very much and quite deilicious They are drinking like Barmaids, around one LLiter per Day Feeding every other Day. And Buds are swelling more and more each Day. Its a big Fun to open the Tent UPDATE The Harvested Buds are shiny like diamonds,,, gittering allover, nice dense Buds
