Day 40 from sprout: The watering helped the 30gal out after 1 day. 3/30 and 4/1 i topped each plant and continue to tuck leaves. Some defoliation on the lower fan leaves that were touching the medium a bit. I will defoliate a little more this week. Scrog will come out in another week or so. I am seeing some canoeing at the very top of each plant. Could be a pH thing or from heat but chances are its a pH thing. I'll keep an eye on it and lower the water pH i am giving it if it persists. Gave the 2L pot some water (a little top and mostly bottom water) on 4/1. Medium was looking very dry on top but wasnt showing signs of needing water so i didnt give it much.

28.8 Eight week of flowering down. And topped plant is hanging to dry right now. And two others will go down either tomorrow or two days more. Both sisters alive have almost all white buds 😍 dank AF! Can't wait smoke this out. I have tried little what I have dryed on top of the lamp and man good stuff. These will have + one week to that stuff. Topped one that is hanging had about 5% amber trichomes when harvested maybe little more. So these are going to be on the spot. 👌 Ok Harvest update next. Happy growing all. I'll try to do my best to minim odors going out when harvesting...little hard when 30m3 apartement but I've managed it so far. Have to pull extra tent aside with carbon filter and fan when trimming and harvesting. Also Ona blocks and draft stoppers between doors works like a charm. 🙏 Oh and I've flushed these girls now for a week and a day..maybe two 😀 But even that one with just ne flush time smoke was smooth even it was dried o top of the hot lamp...

Hello Growmies! We've reached the remarkable week 16 with our tenacious plant, and the developments are simply astounding. Following a week of dedicated flushing, the plant continues to mature gracefully, showcasing an unwavering commitment to quality as she ripens. I'll maintain the reverse osmosis (RO) water regimen until she ceases sprouting fresh white pistils, a testament to her ongoing development. It's a delicate balancing act, providing enough support for her increasingly heavy branches burdened by significant gains, yet the plant's structural integrity remains a priority. Visually, the transformation is captivating; she's commencing a magnificent fade, with the unaffected foliage adopting a rich, deep purple hue, bordering on an almost blackish tone – a stunning display of her natural lifecycle. This chromatic shift isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it's a clear sign of the plant's life cycle progressing towards its grand finale. The chlorosis-free leaves, once vibrant and full of life, are now taking on this regal, somber palette, indicating that maturity isn't far off. Moreover, the trichome-laden buds are a sight to behold, their calyxes continue to swell, and the once slender branches now require additional support to sustain their own weight. It's evident the rigorous cultivation efforts are paying off – the plant's resilience and your attentiveness have aligned perfectly, resulting in an abundance of almost golfball-sized nuggets that shimmer with resin. Every plant tells a story, and this one is about to reach its crescendo – the careful nurturing, the attentive adjustments to the feeding schedule, and the delicate handling of her structure have all contributed to this moment. As we continue with the RO water and witness the plant's final stages, it's clear that the harvest will be one to remember. Stay lifted, Salokin.

I have grown RQS a few times but this is my first RQS diary. The seed took 36hrs to pop and sprout in the wet paper towel. It only took another 36hrs to come fully out of the ground and loose it’s shell. I started with the lights 70cm’s from the soil which was giving a LUX💡reading of 25,000lux💡.Once the seedling 🌱 got to 5cm’s I raised the light by 5cm again to keep the distance at 70cm’s maintaining a reading of 25,000Lux💡 at the top of the seedling 🌱. On previous grows I started with the light at 80cm’s but I was getting stretching. I find if I start at 70cm’s and don’t raise the light after a day or two that the seedling 🌱 can get light burn. HUMIDITY: As you can see in photos I have milk bottle tops full of water next to the seedling. I’ve been this for a while now. I have my seedling next to a plant only a few weeks away from harvest so I need to keep the overall humidity low. I might be crazy and wasting my time but it makes sense to me. I leave these bottle tops near the seedling and over the space of a day the water evaporates off and then I refill them again with water (PH’d water). I reckon if the water is evaporating off so close to the seedling that it must be creating some extra humidity around the seedling 🌱. For the record I don’t think the earth 🌍 is flat. *I’m using RQS nutrients for this grow. I am recording the nutrients as 0.5ml as there is not a tablet option so what I mean by 0.5 is half of one tablet per 2ltrs of water. 🦍Day 3: Watered around the edges of the seedling 🌱 just to dampen the soil a bit 🦍Day 5: Dampened soil again. Looking good so far. 🦍Day 7: Gave very light watering. Happy with the height of the seedling 🌱. The light distance seems to have worked well.

10/22: wow… what a mess. I should have defoliated last week. They were incredibly overgrown and now i had to stress the hell out of them to get the tent cleared up for light. Hopefully the stress does not cause any issues. As if the defoliation was bot enough stress on them, my light height has reached its top, and PL1 had two colas starting that were already pressed into the light. And so i removed their tops a node or two down. Im sure this was as good as hitting the plant in the face with a brick. Hope she recovers! If youve been following along, you know i planted these with hopes for the extremely purple pheno. And i believe that if i had it, she would have started showing her colors by now. Looking forward to seeing what these turn into and if they make it without any issues after i kicked them around a bit.

We're starting off this week with more thunderstorms. They will only be for the first two days of the week. This week is much cooler. The rain kept me from feeding my generative one formula nutrients with their water. On day 2 these are still feeding on the 800ml of coop poop 2-4-3 I top dressed with. They are nice and green and the centers are showing it was a little hot but it should grow out of that in a day or two. Day 5 of this week. Everything grew into the fertilizer. Buds are stacking and trichromes are beginning to show on the leaves. The smell is very noticeable now. The #1 plant has a smokey cheese smell. The #2 plant is skunky and sweet but more skunky. The #3 plant is a little behind the other two and isn't really putting off any distinct smell yet. Day 7 I'm starting to see trichromes

Day 44 today. This lady is one leafy girl !!!. trimming is going to be a nightmare . Her bud growth is still ongoing and with 2 weeks to go she will hopefully swell now !. She doesnt seem to like stronger feeds as other strains do and it was the same with her mum too. her buds are fairly solid and smell sweetly fruity too.

The week starts Monday Jan-27, being day 27 of flowering. Plants are looking very good and healthy, albeit some bigger buds at this stage is missing. Carried out more defoliation of upper leaves on the CBD. Only trimming fan leaves on one side of a bud site in alternate fashion. Strategy is to expose more bud sites to light. Leaves are getting sticky and glistening brightly. Feeding a high EC nutrient mix whilst monitoring run-off EC which remains below feed EC. The canopy is still thick with beautiful luscious green leaves typical of an Indica. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering just over 2L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ---- updates for prior 4 weeks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-20 still flowering away. Bud sites are beginning to take form and the ScrOG setup looks full, ready for the development of some large buds. Removed a few more leaves from above the canopy which were blocking bud sites below. Also cut small stems (with bud sites) below the canopy from both plants which were unlikely to grow strong. It's now looking clearer below the canopy. The canopy is still thick with beautiful luscious green leaves typical of an Indica. Run-off EC has been slowly rising over the weeks but still under the feed EC - will be keeping my eyes on this. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing thick and fast, with very short node intervals creating a thick canopy. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. The Indica dominant strain is really shining with incredible dense growth and thick branches that don't bend as easily as it's Sativa neighbour. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

Beginning of eight week, buds are very heavy and dense. Smell is incredible. Very sticky! One of top buds broke because of the weight and dryed. So i got it to smoke and its incredible tepene. Its fruit gas, very complex. Now its one of my top 3 strains.

Weather here is still fantastic, hot days, partially cloudy, cooler nights. Long term forecast are excellent till the end of September, probably till mid October. No news to report, I'm just waiting for buds swelling, these are the slowest days of my life. I've got pheno #1, tall plant with short and dense buds, fast blossoming, good leaf/buds ratio, great resin production. The plant is gorgeous, all concentrated on the top, big, rough and fat buds. It is evident from the physiognomy typically indica that she is a rustic, wild plant and not an indoor doll. Flushing started, last feed Thursday 17th. Very strangely rust fungus infection has attacked only to fan leaves and hasn't hurt flowering, till now. She will be a generous yelder... and maybe she will cropped together with her sister Royal Gorilla in 7/10 days. Stay safe Bros

Blueberry Headband as well as the OJ have been looking a little peaked the last two weeks. Red hairs appearing. Growth slowing. Even starting to affect the Cheese. Raised the light from 12” to 24 and turned it down a bit. Also, pulled the plants out and leached them. Been a while and it is needed, I think. Should see an explosion of good growth 2-4 days from now. Flushing always creates a flurry of good stuff!

GMO Cookies — Week 11 (Flower) “Served with Extra Curiosity” This week wasn’t about doing more. It was about seeing more. And sometimes… that changes everything. ⸻ 🔬 Photo Stacking — What it is & why now This update goes deeper than usual. We explored focus stacking (photo stacking) — a technique where multiple images, each focused at a different depth, are merged into one ultra-detailed image. * 20–25 frames → standard macro depth * 80–100+ → high detail * 200+ frames → extreme resolution, full structure visibility Why now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Structure is set ➡️ Growth slows down ➡️ Detail becomes everything There’s less to do… and more to observe, understand, and appreciate. We’re no longer just growing. We’re studying. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How did we get here 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Plants shaped themselves under flowering conditions from day one. What we see now is the result of: * Early root establishment * Stable environment * Consistent feeding * Minimal interference No chasing. No forcing. Just letting the plant express. ⸻ 🌿 The Room — Stability over control Conditions remain intentionally consistent: * Temp: ~26°C day / 18°C night * RH: ~60% * pH: ~6.5 * EC: ~2.0 * CO₂: ~1000 ppm Everything is guided by plant feedback (leaf EPD) — not by rigid charts. At this stage, stability matters more than perfection. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition — Supporting, not pushing Current feeding: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro Balanced, consistent, predictable. We’re not trying to “boost” anymore — we’re maintaining the conditions for proper finishing. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes — The real story This is where the stacking work pays off. With the naked eye, we see frost. With macro stacking, we see architecture. * Trichome heads forming and swelling * Density across sugar leaves and calyxes * Early signs of maturity variation within the same bud Not all trichomes develop at the same speed — and now we can actually see that clearly. This is where observation becomes knowledge. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development & Stacking The plants are doing exactly what they should now: * Vertical growth has stopped * Bud stacking continues steadily * Density increasing day by day No explosive changes — just refinement and consolidation. This is the quiet phase… but it’s one of the most important ones. ⸻ 🎥 Studio Work & Branch Sacrifice We took a branch to the studio for detailed work. Was it a sacrifice? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. That branch gave us: * High-level macro insight * Controlled lighting shots * Focus-stacked visuals that reveal what’s usually hidden Sometimes, giving a little… gives a lot back. ⸻ 🧠 Why macro now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Doing less = doing more ➡️ Interference can do more harm than good ➡️ Observation becomes the main tool Macro photography allows us to: * Study ripening progression * Understand resin development * Train the eye for future harvest timing It’s not just content. It’s education. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued trichome swelling * Increased bud density * More visible ripening signals (pistil changes, trichome shifts) * Subtle but important daily progress We’re entering the decision-making window soon. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No more vertical growth * No drastic structural changes * No need for heavy intervention At this point, less input = better outcome. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone walking this journey with us: * The OGs who’ve been here since day one * The new eyes just discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent supporters * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind these expressions And the plants themselves… This week wasn’t about growing bigger. It was about seeing deeper.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Week 6 of flower 9/13/24 Changed the nutrients to fit week 6 of flower. Runoff PH and EC daily (EC 1.3, PH 5.1). using H2O2 with every watering (to help the PH stabilize at 5.5-6.5 range if there is a root problem). plant seems happy and not showing necrosis/ nutrient burn problems. Hand watering ones a day at the beginning of the light schedule.
