🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 8 (Flower Week 3) — Strategic Reset Week ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — Where We Are • Genetics: Sour Diesel • Timeline: Week 8 from seed • Flowering: Week 3 • Height: ~60–70 cm (compact structure) • Room Temp: 28°C • RH: 65% • Feed EC: 2.9 • pH: 6.5 (kept above 6.0 intentionally) • Lighting: LED • Action this week: Strategic defoliation This plant is not tall — she’s compact, dense, and structurally tight. Which means airflow and internal light penetration become critical early. And that’s exactly why this week mattered. ⸻ 🍃 The Defoliation — Not Aesthetic. Architectural. This was not cosmetic trimming. It was: • Removing large fan leaves blocking interior bud sites • Cleaning inner congestion • Opening airflow channels • Resetting light distribution across the canopy • Helping the entire room environment (not just this plant) The room needed air — this plant was advanced enough to handle stress. That’s key. Week 3 of flower is the transition window: • Stretch is slowing • Bud sites are set • Energy shifts toward stacking At this stage, a strategic defoliation: • Improves transpiration efficiency • Reduces microclimate humidity pockets • Prevents internal leaf-to-leaf condensation • Encourages bud site activation below the top canopy This was structural architecture. Not haircut vanity. ⸻ 🌡️ 28°C in Flower — “Too Hot?” Let’s Go Deep. People panic when they hear 28°C in flower. But here’s where most growers confuse: 🔥 HPS vs LED Heat Behavior Under HPS: • Radiant heat warms leaf surfaces directly • Leaf temperature often equals or exceeds room temp • 28°C air under HPS can mean 30–32°C leaf temp • That pushes VPD dangerously high Under LED: • Less infrared radiation • Leaf surface temp is typically 1–3°C LOWER than room temp • So at 28°C room temp, leaf temp might be 25–26°C And VPD calculations depend on leaf temperature, not air temperature. ⸻ 🌿 What Is Leaf VPD? VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) measures the difference between: • Moisture inside the leaf • Moisture in the surrounding air But if you calculate VPD using only room temp, you’re missing the real transpiration dynamics. With: • 28°C air • ~25–26°C leaf surface (LED) • 65% RH Leaf VPD sits in a very workable mid-flower zone. Not extreme. Not stress-inducing. Not shutdown territory. We’re driving metabolism, not cooking terpenes. ⸻ 💧 Why 65% RH Isn’t Dangerous Here Context matters: • Good airflow • Opened canopy • Compact but cleaned structure • Early-mid flower (Week 3, not Week 7) At this stage: • Pistils are forming • Bud density is still moderate • Transpiration is active High humidity becomes dangerous when: • Bud mass is dense • Internal airflow is poor • Late flower resin traps moisture We’re not there yet. And we just improved airflow with defoliation. ⸻ ⚡ EC 2.9 — Aggressive but Intentional That EC is strong. But: • Plant is compact, not oversized • Sour Diesel can eat • pH 6.5 keeps availability wide (Ca, Mg, P balance) The key will be: • Watching leaf tips • Monitoring runoff behavior • Watching for clawing or salt stress Right now, if she’s praying and stacking, she’s handling it. ⸻ 🔍 What To Expect Next Week (Flower Week 4) After defoliation: You may see: • Slight pause (24–72 hours) • Increased vertical bud push • Better lower-site activation • More defined pistil clustering • Stronger apical dominance response If recovery is clean: • Buds begin early stacking phase • Internodes tighten • Resin production initiates at bract level If stress appears: • Slight leaf droop • Tip burn acceleration • Reduced upward leaf angle But based on structure and timing — this looks calculated, not reactive. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Week Matters Long-Term This week determines: • Airflow pattern for late flower • Mold resistance later • Bud density uniformity • Final trim efficiency • Light-to-bud conversion efficiency This wasn’t about now. This was about Week 7 and 8 survival. ⸻ 🙏 Appreciation Section To: • The OGs here since seed • The new followers discovering the journey • The silent readers • The critics • The skeptics • The lovers • The haters • The platform • The sponsors • The community • Grow Diaries itself Everyone has a place here.

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.

Runtz Muffin has start stretching quickly, I had to add a bamboo stick to avoid problems once the buds get dense. I’m happy with the first days of flowering so far. 1st lollipopping has been done too few days ago to redirect the power in to canopy’s. During this week I’ll add an extra co2 exhale bag to increase the chance of a good day bar buds 🤞🤞🤞🤤🤤

hello fellas have ya seen my clone that refuses to grow it is still alive making only three finger leaves i should kill it but i cant lol gonna see where that brings us looks like i am gone be in flower for about nine weeks THREE WEEKS TO GO i see the cola formation growing in am thinking if i would feed them this week they now have got three waterings plain water i guess i am gonna do that 600ml every other day biobizz + water

Herzlich Willkommen zu meinem neuen Grow mit der Frostbanger Auto F3 von 2Fast4Buds. Die "Eltern" sind (GG4 Auto F6 x Bruce Banner Auto F5) x Sour Diesel Auto F5 und das ergibt eine F3 feminisierte dreifache Polyhybrid Autoflower. Klingt schonmal heftig. Der Strain ist beim Autoflowerworldcup 2025 zur stärksten Autoflower gewählt worden. Mit dem Versprechen, süsse, cremige Aromen zu produzieren, muss ich diese Pflanze testen. Die 20 Liter AirPots 7th gen., die Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde, BioBizz Wurmhumus, Sonnenerde Bio Faser, BIONOVA x zamnesia MonsterBud Mix Living Soil, zamnesias SmartStart und Plagrons Seedbooster Plus werden bei diesem Grow wieder verwendet. Tag 21: Die Frostbanger Auto F3 von 2Fast4Buds hat schon schöne Seitentriebe entwickelt. Tag 23: 1,0 Liter Wasser. Tag 24: Das Stämmchen ist sehr fest, deshalb vorsichtig etwas LST angewendet. Tag 25: Die Große bekommt 1,0 Liter Wasser. Tag 26: Nochmal vorsichtig LST. Sie bekommt jetzt schon Blüten. Tag 28: 1,0 Liter Wasser. Sie wächst rund 2 cm am Tag. Schön, dass du dich für meinen Grow interessierst. Freut mich, wenn du wieder reinschaust 👋😎

อยากทำดอกแล้ว แต่อีกชุดยังทำดอกไม่เสร็จ ชำรอทำจำนวนไปก่อนแล้วกันนะ 💚👍🏼

Go! Go!! Go!!! Nice start. Ph7 ec 0.38 temps 23 hr 80%

July 19th : Didn't get out before dark to get pics. July 20th : Wowza! We got Flowering people!! 2 of the 3 are now Budding! This is when the fun begins! July 21st - July 24th : Didn't get around to pics had a few things I've been dealing with. July 25th : Just gave them some Happy frog Fruit and Flower last night. Lets see them blow up now!

This lady looks absolutely, I have applied mainlin technique on this lady to avoid a height problems, now we're gonna try to get as many main colas as possible, let's see how this lady keeps developing!

So, like i said the 🍋🍒🍪 all ready for ✂️, it’s been a pleasure to grow these, will deffo be growing these again, maybe just after Xmas!🤔, now to dry them and cure them with the attention they deserve… gorilla cookies looking💥 won’t be long at all untill there ready, maybe 2 weeks max.. untill next time!👊🏻

After 14 days drying, 7 days hanging and another 7 days on cardboard boxes 📦 at a temp between 61 and 65 degrees F and a humidity between 52-55 % I trimmed all the buds and jar them with Boveda 62. After 2 days in jars ( 16 days from cutting the plant down) I weighed in everything. I got 434g of grade A buds and 685g of Grade B ( perfectly smokable ) buds plus a lot of trim that I didn’t weight. I’m very pleased with everything and I enjoyed every single step along the way. Probably next time I will lollipop/defoliate more aggressively so I can get more top bud and less grade b bud.

Hello and thank you for stopping by, it is now day 28 in 2x4 closet and things are going very smoothly I'm watering still with a pH of 6.5 when dry. I'm having minor issues with Gnat larvae in my coco and I am going to solve the issue by watering with neem oil for the next couple weeks. I will also be trying out some hydrogen peroxide in my water at a 4:1 ratio if the neem oil fails to control the larvae. My first top dress will be in about 7 days and I am going to be doing some low stress training this week stay tuned ☺️

Day 59 Week 3 of flower 👍🏾

Actualizamos familia, con la primera semana de floración de estas Toad Venum de Growers Choice. Tienen un color bien verde sin carencias por el momento y se ve que están sanas, las plantas están en macetas de 7 Litros definitivamente, con tierra top crop, con una altura similar a 40 cms. Como los anteriores cultivos tuve visitantes(trips) estoy rociando aceite de neem y jabón potásico 1 vez a la semana, añadí también tiras de color azul / amarillo para prevenir y controlar mejor el tema plagas. El riego que aplicamos son 600ml de agua cada 48 horas y el ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 22/25 grados y la humedad ronda el 55% gracias al humidificador. El ciclo lo cambiamos hace una semana a 12h de luz/ 12h de oscuridad, el mismo día que escribo esto el foco está al 75% de potencia. Me gusta subirlo muy progresivamente, las manías. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com - los nutrientes directamente desde https://agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo • Estoy muy agradecido por el aprecio y la acogida a todos los que me seguís, tanto a seguidores como a marcas que apoyan todos estos proyectos, aquí seguiremos cultivando y aportando nuestro pequeño grano de arena a este gran sector. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
