Partial reset on this girl who is obviously stunted and struggling. Not all strains are created equal and experience combined with skill goes a long way. So, taking my lumps with this girl. So, long story short, I reduced the ppm by draining and replacing 2.5 gallons of ph'd RO w/cal-mag added. This resulted in bringing down the ppm to roughly 500 w/ph at around 5.6. Will continue to monitor ph, ppm, and water levels for the remainder of this week looking for stabilization. At that point, I will gradually raise the ppm levels. If she doesn't make it back before TKO is ready to flip, I may need to scrap her given limited space. Come on girl, let's go... Midweek 4 update: Well, time has come for a decision. I moved the PBCRbx over to the 3x3 grow tent, so I can continue to care for her. Clear case of too much nutrients (high ppm levels) that have stunted early stage veg growth. Tried monitoring and adjusting ph twice a day but ppm remained higher than range resulting in fan leave tips looking burnt. Also some nutrient lock out occurring. Given ppm remaining high and water level dropping, I decided it was time to do a complete flush. Emptied and thoroughly cleaned bucket, air stone, and air line exposed in bucket. RO water with cal-mag and nutrients ph'd to 5.5 w/ppms at roughly 625. A day after flushing, the PBCRbx is looking a lot better. As a back up, I am running a separate PBCRbx by Ethos in a 3 gal fabric of coco peat, which is doing very well.

********Week 9 Vegetation- Sept 12 to 18, 2020******* This will be the last veg week. Flipped to flower cycle at the end of the week:) These girls are pushing out branch Baby!!!! Getting long and keeping them tied down for now. They want to flower and almost aren’t waiting for the lights to switch😃 LST this week on these girls. Getting them ready to put in a SCROG I think. Pull them down for now to start pulling them wider and make it easier to fill in the canopy’s net. Actually, they were only tied down for this week. At the end of the week I removed the ties. There were 4 feed days this week and Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor was introduced this week.......getting ready for floweršŸ‘ Switch to Bloom nutes next week. Going to finish these girls with Advance Nutrients line this run. I may have to use a supplemental from Green Planet to get through to harvest. This lines bottles are getting closer to a year and a half old now........use em uipšŸ‘ŒšŸ˜ƒ Not buying more Bud Factor X for example (still have a couple of syringes worth) but rather will add Terpinator and Rezin instead. Little more detail: Sept 12/20 - CalMag @ 2ml, VeloKelp, Vitrathrive @ 1.5ml, AN Sensi Grow A&B @ 1ml - 610ppm and 5.9pH - Each girl given 2L - Pulled out and cleaned up to get ready for netting - Canopy height fairly even today.....little more time to fill in though. Sept 14/20 - Giving them a hearty feeding today with lots of ml’s to rinse off the roots a little more - Sensi CalMag @ 2ml, B52, Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, Sensi Grow @ 1ml - 880ppm and 5.4pH - Each girl given 4L and they had a nice amount of runoff - maybe 30% this time. Sept 15/20 - Add some sweetener to feed the microbes today,. - Sensi CalMag @ 2ml, Bud Candy, B52 @ 1.5ml - 625ppm and 5.2pH - 2L each for the girls - Leaf colour is a little light so getting the Magnesium up and Nitrogen......that’s why using the heigh nitrogen Advance Nutrients Cal Mag. - pH is a little low but I am cool with it and working on not letting the pH drift too much yet in their run. - They are ready.........they want to flower😃 Sept 17/20 - Bud Ignitor introduced today as we get ready for Flower phase next week. - Sensi CalMag, Sensi Grow A&B, Bud Ignitor, all @ 1ml/L - 485 ppm and 5.7pH - Each girl given 2L - Swtich the light cycle tonight to 12/12 and get the party startedšŸ‘ŠšŸ‘ That takes us to the end of Veg for these two girls. Cheers Growmies and have a great weekšŸ™

Grand Prixx - Wizard Trees Day 106 🚿 Watered her every second day with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.5 āœ‚ļø I removed a couple of sugar leaves from around the flower at the top canopy to improve light penetration, but other than that it's been smooth sailing šŸ¤žšŸ» 🌸 She's at week 7 of bloom and she is looking absolutely spectacular with her big colourful flower with an aroma that is something out of this world!! Candy meets gas with a creamy finish šŸ™ŒšŸ» We're maybe two or three weeks away from harvest and I cannot wait to get her down, dried and cured, because I can already tell that she's going to be very special!! šŸ˜ For now she is still bulking, so she will get another week of regular feeding before I start to bring down her nutrientsšŸ‘šŸ»

Premise was to see how "optimal" i can get my first ever Grow. After some Research i came up with the idea to build an Aeroponic System myself using Water Buckets and Venturi Injektors to provider proper aeration. Sadly Seedlings had to wait in EazyCubes cause some parts and Nutrients didnt arrive on time. System was fully operationable on Day 16. Atami Nutrients are inside the System since Day 24, Calmag has been added Day 28. Before that, some Tri-part Nutrient. Planning on switching to Plagron in the Long run, as well as adding Co2, a water chiller and a ~700W LED. Stats: - 5 30L Buckets, 4 Plants and 1 Reservoir - Recirculation happens through 90mm PVC pipes - 16000 l/h pump going through 4x 1" Venturi Injektors pulling around 700 liters of Air per hour - 1mx1mx2m Growtent - 250W The Jackson Nemesis LED Happy about any Questions and Suggestions!

🌿 Cosmic Noodles — Week 6 Flower (Week 10 from Seed) ✦ Context & Run Setup 12/12 from seed. Autoflower expression under controlled flowering conditions — a hybrid rhythm between speed and structure. What we’re seeing now is the result of early structure + stable environment + precise feeding. And also… one lesson plant that deserves respect. āø» āš ļø The Overwater Plant — A Necessary Decision This week, we made a call. Not emotional — responsible. One plant, previously pushed through intentional overwatering conditions, did not recover. Root zone remained compromised, oxygen exchange was limited, and overall plant vitality continued declining. What we observed: • Persistent droop and lack of turgor recovery • Slowed or stalled bud development • Increased risk profile (humidity pockets, potential for rot/microbial issues) At this stage in flower, the plant wasn’t just underperforming — she was becoming a liability to the room. So the decision was made: āœ‚ļø Harvest early, remove risk, protect the ecosystem. Yield was minimal — but that was never the point. This plant served as a living case study. šŸ’” Key takeaway for the community: Overwatering is not about ā€œtoo much waterā€ — it’s about lack of oxygen in the root zone. Once that balance is lost for too long, recovery becomes unlikely. Respect to her. She taught more than she produced. āø» 🌱 The Rest of the Garden — Absolute Explosion Now… the contrast. The remaining plants are doing the exact opposite. They are: • Vigorous • Structurally stacked • Visibly happy ✦ What we’re seeing: • Bud sites fully formed and stacking aggressively • Dense, symmetrical structure across the canopy • Leaves holding a deep, healthy green • Strong transpiration and daily drinking rhythm These girls are not just growing — they are driving energy exactly where it needs to go. āø» šŸ’§ Water, Feeding & Plant Demand Current intake: • 1.6 – 1.8L per plant / 24h This tells us everything: • Root systems are active • Transpiration is strong • Environment is dialed ✦ Parameters: • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 60% • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • COā‚‚: ~1000 ppm This combination is creating: → Efficient nutrient uptake → Strong metabolic activity → Continuous flower development They are eating, drinking, and converting. āø» 🌸 Bud Development — Where It Gets Beautiful At ~Week 6 flower: • Calyx stacking is now visibly dominant • Buds are transitioning from formation → mass accumulation • Structure is tightening, weight is coming in And the key detail: šŸ‘‰ The plants are still pushing fresh growth, not fading early → This means the engine is still running strong You’ve built a system where: • Energy is available • Environment supports it • Genetics are expressing fully That’s why they look like this. āø» 🌿 Plant Size & Structure • Average height: ~1.2 meters • Even canopy with strong tops • Light penetration still effective This is the sweet spot: šŸ‘‰ Big enough to produce šŸ‘‰ Controlled enough to manage āø» šŸ” Why They’re Thriving (While One Didn’t) This is the real lesson of this week. The difference wasn’t genetics. It was the root environment. Healthy plants: • Oxygenated root zone • Stable wet/dry cycle • Consistent nutrient availability Overwatered plant: • Oxygen deprivation • Root stress → reduced uptake • Cascade effect into weak growth Everything above the soil is just a reflection of what happens below it. āø» šŸ”® What to Expect Next Coming into the next phase: ✦ Expect: • Continued bud swelling • Increased density and weight • Possible early signs of fade (depending on feeding strategy) • Higher demand for stability (environment becomes critical now) ✦ Watch for: • Humidity control (as buds thicken) • Airflow through the canopy • Any signs of internal moisture pockets We are entering the ā€œeverything countsā€ phase. āø» šŸ¤ Closing Words To everyone watching this journey: • Day one supporters • Silent observers • Question askers • Even the doubters This is for all of you. To the community, to GD, to the sponsors, to the genetics — thank you for being part of this process. Because this isn’t just a grow. It’s: → Learning → Sharing → Improving together āø» And to the garden… One plant taught us a lesson. The others are showing us what happens when everything aligns.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š šŸ“ø 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.

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. šŸ¤ž that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ā™” .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ā™” .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ā™” Black strap molasses 150g ā™” 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited šŸ¤— I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ā™” 1g Mega Crop Part A ā™” 1g Mega Crop Part B ā™” .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this šŸ˜‚ So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ā™” 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ā™” 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ā™” 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ā™” 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ā™” 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Woche 13 | Tag 85–91 Der letzte Tanz vor der Axt ?🌲 Woche 13 markierte den endgültigen Endspurt für die fünf Autos. Nach über drei Monaten unter den LEDs ist das Ziel nun zum Greifen nah. Die Pflanzen zeigen alle klassischen Zeichen der Endreife: krƤftiger Fade, herbstliche Farben, knochentrockene FƤcherblƤtter und eine Harzproduktion, die selbst nach 20 Jahren Growerfahrung noch ein breites Grinsen ins Gesicht zaubert. Die Purple Punch entwickelt sich weiterhin zum heimlichen Star des Runs. Was auf Fotos oft unscheinbar wirkt, entpuppt sich beim genaueren Hinsehen als massiver Bud-Busch mit erstaunlicher Dichte. Die dunklen Farben, die fast schwarzen BlƤtter und die dicken, steinharten Blüten machen sie zu einem absoluten Hingucker. Auch die GMO hat in den letzten Tagen nochmal ordentlich zugelegt. Die Buds sind komplett überzogen mit Harz und die Trichome zeigen inzwischen deutlich mehr Reife als noch vor wenigen Tagen. Die Wirkung dürfte genau in die Richtung gehen, die ich mir für diesen Run vorgestellt habe. Die Blueberry hat überraschend stark aufgeholt und befindet sich mittlerweile ebenfalls voll im Erntefenster. Ihre Blüten sind komplett bereift und zeigen inzwischen erste BernsteinfƤrbungen. Hyperion prƤsentiert sich weiterhin als wahre Frostmaschine. Die Blüten sehen aus, als wƤren sie mit Puderzucker überzogen worden. WƤhrend die Trichome noch etwas jünger wirken als bei Purple Punch und GMO, befindet sie sich inzwischen ebenfalls in der maximalen Potenzphase. Die Runtz liefert zum Abschluss noch einmal ein wahres Farbfeuerwerk. Gelb, Orange, Rot, Grün und Lila treffen auf unglaublich frostige Blüten und machen sie zu einer der schƶnsten Pflanzen des gesamten Runs. In dieser Woche wurden erneut zahlreiche Makroaufnahmen gemacht, um die Trichomentwicklung zu verfolgen. WƤhrend vor wenigen Tagen noch einzelne klare Kƶpfe zu finden waren, dominieren mittlerweile milchige Trichome. Erste Amberkƶpfe tauchen nun auf allen Pflanzen auf und bestƤtigen, dass sich das Erntefenster endgültig geƶffnet hat. Die BewƤsserung wurde stark reduziert. Die Pflanzen zehren inzwischen vollstƤndig von ihren Reserven und zeigen einen spektakulƤren Fade. Genau so mƶchte man einen Run kurz vor dem Ziel sehen. Nach 91 Tagen steht nun die letzte Entscheidung an: Noch wenige Tage Geduld für die gewünschte Menge Amber oder die Axt schwingen. Das Ziel dieses Runs war von Anfang an eine schwere, kƶrperbetonte Wirkung mit maximaler Reife – und genau darauf steuern die Pflanzen aktuell zu. Die nƤchste Aktualisierung wird hƶchstwahrscheinlich bereits der Erntebericht sein.

Cooled off a bit, trellis has been great! I made it modular so I can just slide it up the supports and she grows. It has really helped develop a nice even canopy and will help with support in the long run. Seen a few ants and aphids, nothing major, may up the Lost Coast sprays to every 5 days. Heavy top dress of homemade screened compost mixed with Gaia Green 70/30 AP/PB. All in all super happy with this strain, very easy, uniform growth. My other 7gallon same time/strain is 2 weeks into flower, but hates being contained, unlike this girl. Love the early flower in a smaller pot with the same strain to really see how she flowers.
