March 7, 2019 Update: I've been flushing the DinaMed CBD+ and Cherry Hemp plants since the weekend. I'll chop them down and hang them to dry this weekend. Critical+ and Cream & Cheese CBD have been fed this week with MegaCrop and Cal+Mag Pro. I'll start flushing the Critical+ and Cream & Cheese CBD this weekend for a week. The Critical + has the best trichome coverage, DinaMed has the fattest buds and Cream & Cheese has the longest buds. Win-win-win!!! 😃

The Chicken N Waffles has this 3x3 absolutely packed. Growing to the lights, I gave final defoliation today, great air movement through the tent and the VPD has been very stable. Not really any noticeable terpenes yet, maybe a subtle sweetness in the one pheno. Plants are starting to stack and they seem quite happy with the set up. We should be swelling by next week!

Доброго дня Сегодня ровно 124 дня жизни моей девочки и ровно 9 недель как перевел ее на цвет. Последнюю неделю я ей давал Ripen. Поливал каждый день. Влажность немного поднялась за эту неделю, ночью она подала ниже 30%, но днем поднимал порой и до 46%, Все в пределах нормы. Центральные шишки на мой взгляд готовы так 80%-90%, а в от нижние еще не созрели, оцениваю готовность их на 65%-75%. Думаю еще неделю как по плану Не знаю насколько хорошо видно на фотках, но хотелось бы узнать ваше мнение друзья, по поводу зрелости шишек

So liebe Community 💚🍀 heute war es an der Zeit die Sunset zu ernten. Die Pink Sunset von Silent Seeds feat. Sherbinskys ist ein echtes brachiales Prachtstück! Sie ist von den Konditionen des Klimas zwar nicht sonderlich Anspruchsvoll. Dafür legt Sie einen immensen Stretch hin und Mann muss sie ordentlich bändigen. Die Blütedauer liegt bei ca. 9 - 10 Wochen, was sich aber definitiv Lohnt. Dies war mein zweiter Anbau der Pink Sunset und es hat sich definitiv erneut gelohnt. Ihr Aroma ist zwar etwas eigenartig, dumpf und nicht richtig in eine Richtung zu beschreiben, dennoch sieht sie einfach wunderschön aus. Sie hat eine sehr gemischte Blütenstruktur: Die Buds sind richtig dick und kompakt, ziehen sich dann aber doch ein wenig in die länge und es ist ein leichtes Foxtailing erkennbar. Sie wirkt definitiv richtung Ende ihrer Wachstumsphase definitiv wie ein sehr dominanter Sativa Typ. Stay Tuned!💚

Grow Report — Week 6 From Seed (12/12 From Seed · Early Flower / Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This is a 12/12-from-seed run, now entering Week 6 from seed, which we can comfortably call early flower / second week of flowering transition — though we don’t obsess over labels. We follow the plants, not the calendar. Two plants, two approaches: • Plant A: Metal clips + harder structural training, with a short 18/6 period earlier on, plus LST • Plant B: Pure 12/12 from seed, gentle LST and leaf positioning only Both plants are now fully in flower mode, no doubt about it, just expressing it differently, which is expected and welcomed. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% Even though it’s still a bit cold outside, increasing plant mass, higher lighting intensity, and added under-canopy lighting have turned the tent itself into a stronger and more stable heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions naturally, without forcing anything — exactly how we like it. Lighting & Atmosphere • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm Airflow • Unchanged and dialed in • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal remains the same: fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important and intentional nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. Why? As flowering progresses, nutrient uptake priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves the availability of key elements needed for bloom development, and the plants are clearly asking for it. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • Removed: Terra Grow This switch is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. No rush, no shock — just listening to plant signals and responding accordingly. The current Plagron-based approach continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Behavior & Training Notes Both girls are looking amazing, each in their own way. • The metal-clip + harder-trained plant looks structured, composed, and confident • The pure LST plant is expressive, vigorous, and stretching beautifully The plant that experienced a short 18/6 period is currently smaller, noticeably so — which is interesting and worth observing. Not better, not worse — just different. Different light histories, different training styles, different expressions. This is exactly why side-by-side approaches are so valuable. Both plants are: • Healthy • Actively flowering • Responding positively to the environment and nutrition Plant A — Canopy Management Note This was also the week where a light, selective defoliation was performed on Plant A to open the canopy slightly and improve light penetration. She is clearly more advanced in flower development, visually closer to what would normally be considered around day 21 of flowering, and the timing felt right. Only larger, blocking leaves were removed — no stripping, no stress — just enough to: • Improve airflow • Expose developing flower sites • Support her more advanced flowering pace The plant responded calmly and confidently, confirming that the intervention was well-timed and appropriate. They’ve also been in and out of the studio for photos — and they handled it like champions. The in/out space continues to work perfectly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) What to expect: • Continued flower set and structural definition • Stretch management through positioning, not force • Gradual increase in flower density as nutrition settles in What NOT to expect: • No aggressive defoliation • No forced stress techniques • No chasing numbers just for the sake of it This run is about clarity, observation, and respect for plant rhythm. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words A big thank you to: • New joiners discovering this run • Old souls following along quietly • The curious, the critical, the lovers, the haters • Sponsors, supporters, and the wider community Every set of eyes matters. Every perspective adds value. More updates soon — this was Update 1, and we’ll be back after more time with the girls.

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.

Klassische Herbstwoche. Temperaturen zwischen 6 und 13 tagsüber, 1-7°C nachts. Regen in vielen Formen. Schauer, Nieselregen, Nebel, Landregen. Alles dabei. Das war zuviel für Larry. Lemon habe ich eine geerntet. Die kleinere. Die große steht noch stabil. Noch.. Fat Banana hat's erwischt. An beiden Pflanzen in Summe 12 Schimmelstellen. Zuviel für meinen Geschmack. Schweren Herzens muss ich die topbuds abnehmen, wenn ich nicht alles verlieren will. AK hat als letztes angefangen, zu blühen. Daher sind die buds relativ klein. Daher bisher keine Schimmelstellen. Sie haben alle beiden ein dunkelviolettes Herbstkleid und sehen bezaubernd aus. Die Harzproduktion ist trotz kühler Temperaturen in die Gänge gekommen und sie riechen langsam etwas. Hoffe, kommende Woche gibt's noch ein paar trockenere Tage.. es geht langsam dem Ende entgegen 😭 noch läuft es. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Day 50 and the plant seems to be growing healthy even though it's not stretching much my understanding is that this type of strain it is slow-growing type and require more of vegetable time than others plants flower seems to be developing fine but because there is a large difference in height between this girls and the other girls of my tent I had to introduce a regular light bulbs in there to try to address this not sure how is going to turn out but definitely I need more light in there and with the shut down everywhere not many places to Source out new equipment so have to do new ways to make it happen. Day 52 the plant seems to be responding well to the light bulb as well I how to do a little bit of defoliation to try to promote more light in there it is a very bushy plant. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Buds are bulking up and getting denser, looking nice and frosty. Had to tie a few branches as they were getting top heavy. No problem though they are going strong💪. Zkittles OG is standing out and has a nice structure I would definately recommend. Few more weeks then ripen and flush.

Just keep watering as it drys. Supporting buds along the way that are getting too heavy. Smells like skunk and gas. Little fruit but not much. Trics still getting thick. Look forward to it finishing. Tricomes still cloudy. Little amber on sugar leaves but it's still going strong. Some leave fading finally to fall colors.

What up everyone. Weekly update on these ladies. This week they've done good, seeing growth and new leafs. I did see some white spots on a leaf or two so I'll up my ipm to twice a week until I know they're pest free. Over all I'm happy for the weeks to come as the outdoor season is in full swing.

01/09/2022 Finally time to flower, and all girls went into flower room at lights out.The males will be next week, don't want to put them in to early so I will carefully check every day and separate before they open their flowers. I'm guessing week 3-4 I Will select two branches on each female to selectively pollinate. 01/11/2022 Blue Matter #5 (update #5 culled male) repotted with lemon og seed Will continue in her own evolving diary. My hope is to eventually graft different cuts for a multiple variety mom plant, I can have 6 total plants And would be nice to be able to maintain only one mom.
