Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

Starting to smell like ripe fruit yummy

Aug 16: Mimosa Shot is progressing but it has been cool and rainy lately. There are indications of P deficiency because of the cool weather. The top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom will do its thing so I’m not worried about it. Hoping for more direct sunlight though.

In love with all of my 5 plants of black cherry punch but this one is one of the most beautiful ones, 100% purple flowers, very dense and awesome fruity sweet smell love it!

Extremely satisfied, yes!! Ive daydreamed about this for 25 + years, germinated hundreds of seeds over the years for fun- but never had the equipment to keep it going Im sooo excited! Seems to be going well so far..

Guter strain und der Geschmack ist auch ganz gut aber es gibt deutlich besseres

VIDEO ADDED: DEC 29 2020! -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 27 2020! MORE COMING VIDEO?! -- Smell is starting to come down from the fresh cut, definitely has a great look to the bud as the cure goes on, have two 8 gram boveda packs in there after a few days with one that was WAY too big for it 😂 Brought down my Chocolate Mint OG in my other diary right now as well, way more weight to that last plant... probably more than both these Chem Bombs combined, great genetics over @Humboldt_seed_organization 😎 -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 23 2020! MORE COMING! -- DEC 19 2020 - Harvest Day Chem-Bomb Auto .. DONE. Step-Brothers ... CHOPPED. Buds.. TRIMMED. Giving them my first bud wash tomorrow! Already juiced the lemon, have the spring water, and off-brand baking soda because COVID has every place sold out of Arm&Hammer 😂 Dale: 50 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 15 Grams Trim/Larf = Total 65 Grams Wet Brennan: 55 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 12 Grams Trim/Larf = 67 Grams Wet Total Wet: 132 Grams (Buds/Stems/Trim) Looks like I'm getting in and around the "1 Ounce per Auto Plant" range with my basic soil/hand feed system. The CMOG from my other diary looks like it will be my first 1OZ plant when it dries. With my past experience of wet buds drying out to about half of bud weight, I'm hoping that they both come in JUST under an Oz a piece. Going to update with more pictures, going to take a couple days to dry and get a good weight and hopefully get somewhere close to the 64 grams of the ONLY sized Boveda packs I have right now 😇 -- UPDATE - Dec 20 2020 - Cure Day 😵😭 i once again got my hopes up by pulling the classic male "over-exaggerating" and all the wet weight came from the main stems. After 3 days or so of drying both plants together came in just under an ounce. The smell is great and I have no doubt it's quality bud but I need to up my density game somehow for sure. New nutrients or better set up, still very low-end with all my equipment as I've just slowly been finding affordable pieces to add as I go. Maybe more light? Feel free to hit me up below with ideas short of switching to a Hydro set up 😹 I can hardly afford my bags of soil so I definitely couldnt keep up with the financial costs of a Hydro set up yet 😓 Have had a few bowls of the dried/uncured bud and it's very nice, clean, and crazy good for being uncured at this point. Just the classic flower taste from the chlorophyll but the pineapple/tropical taste is coming through nice already. Final Stats: 26g Dried Bud 26g Trim -- Thanks for checking in! Will be updating soon and posting more pictures! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow (DM and let me know you're from Grow Diaries so i can follow back!)

Week 8 there hasn’t been any drastic changes for either of the girls. Girl #1 is looking better and better each day. Girl #2 is just being as stubborn as can be. Girl #2 still hasn’t showed any signs of flowering. I’m gonna continue to be patient with her she’s a very late bloomer. I can’t believe she’s been in veg for 8 weeks.I know some of you expert growers have experienced a long veg similar to my experience.Not sure if it’s good or bad luck just yet being my first run of autos. I have to admit. When i saw this week coming to The end and girl #2 wasn’t showing signs of flowering, I got down face to face with her quietly whispering (You better flower soon or it’s time for the trash can 😂😂) lol 😆 I had a weak moment was very frustrated. I thank all of you that have shared your information cause without it I would have been panicking. I’m gonna be patient and let the plant tell me when she’s ready. Everything has been running smoothly. I have given both girls light bloom nutrients. I have learned so much and it has been a pleasure watching the magic happen. Thank all of those who have viewed my diary. Thank you again for your support.

Week 3 Report: The White OG – Reaching New Heights 🌟 Another week, another milestone for our beautiful White OG! She’s pushing through her veg stage, now proudly showing off her fourth node and growing strong. While she’s looking amazing, I’ve noticed a touch of light green creeping in—nothing to worry about, but it’s a little nudge that a pot upgrade is coming soon. For now, we’re holding steady with the same great conditions and feedings, letting her shine her way. Growth Highlights: Pushing the 4th Node This week, she’s been focusing on steady vertical growth and spreading out her gorgeous leaves. The emergence of her fourth node is a sign she’s gearing up for even bigger things ahead. Though that lighter green coloring hints at her wanting a little more room to stretch her roots, it’s not slowing her down. Next week, she’ll get a new home in a bigger pot, plus a boost from Aptus All-in-One Pellets to power her progress. Environment: Consistency Is Everything The environment remains the key to her success: • Temperature: Keeping it steady and warm to promote healthy, vigorous growth. • Humidity: Still riding that high RH wave, which keeps her roots happy and hydrated. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to provide just the right amount of energy for strong, compact growth. Feeding Routine: Keeping It Balanced She’s thriving under the care of Aptus Holland nutrients, and this week, the focus has been on maintaining her steady growth with: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): Supporting her structure and keeping stress levels at bay. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Ensuring those cell walls are strong and chlorophyll production stays on point. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Powering her roots with essential nutrients and beneficial microbes. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): Providing a complete nutrient blend to fuel her vegetative stage. These products have been keeping her strong and resilient, preparing her for the next phase of her journey. Looking Ahead: Pot Upgrade Incoming! As we move into Week 4, it’ll be time for her first transplant into a bigger pot. This will give her roots room to expand and allow her to take full advantage of the nutrients from Aptus All-in-One Pellets. For now, though, she’s holding her own and looking every bit the resilient beauty she is. 🌱✨ Shoutouts and Love Big thanks to the amazing team behind this journey: • Future of Grow for providing stellar lighting. • Aptus Holland for their incredible nutrient line. • Grow Diaries, for being the platform where we all share and learn. • And to all of YOU, the growers, followers, and friends—thank you for your inspiration and support! 🌟 Oh and last but not least huge thanks to SeedsmanSeeds 💚 Stay tuned for next week’s update—our White OG is just getting started. 💚 Growers Love! 🌱✨ DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

Day 102 / Day 23 (Week 4) of Flowering Nothing done today but watering the plants with the same solution i have been giving them since beginning of flowering.. Day 105 / Day 26 (Week 4) of Flowering Same as day 102

Today I transplanted these girls into their 5 gallon grass roots pots. I topped them off with build a soil craft blend, diatomaceous earth & white Dutch clover. Now Im just waiting to see how they adjust to their new pot.

💧 Die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds befindet sich in Blüte Woche 6. Die Pflanze zeigt eine kompakte Struktur bei einer aktuellen Höhe von 58 cm. Die Blätter sind vital und dunkelgrün, was auf eine gute Nährstoffversorgung hindeutet. Die Blütenentwicklung schreitet ordentlich voran; die Buds sind bereits gut mit Trichomen besetzt und die ersten Stigmen beginnen sich zu verfärben. 📏 Als Sondergabe habe ich 5 ml S&R Organics 5in1 hinzugefügt, um die späte Blütephase gezielt zu unterstützen. 📸 Die aktuelle Optik zeigt eine gesunde Pflanze ohne Mangelerscheinungen. Die Blütenbildung ist für die geringe Wuchshöhe beeindruckend dicht. Auffällig ist die gleichmäßige Harzbesetzung auf den Blüten und den direkt angrenzenden Zuckerblättern. 📋 Für die kommende Zeit werde ich das Augenmerk auf die Reifung der Trichome legen. Die Pflanze steht gut im Futter, daher werde ich jetzt genau beobachten, wie sie auf die zusätzliche Gabe reagiert und das Gießverhalten an den Bedarf anpassen. Der Endspurt ist eingeläutet.

Hey Growmies~ This run's starting with a 70% coco and 30% perlite mix in a reduced 1-gallon fabric pot, with no pre-mixed dry nutrients. I'm testing a few things this time: 1. Can autos thrive in a solo cup-sized fabric pot without stress? 2. Is it possible to reach harvest without bi-weekly top dressing of dry nutrients? 3. Skipping Cal/Mag—will it still work? For nutrients, here’s the plan: - Bi-weekly: Great White (until flowering) - Bi-weekly: Home-cultivated microbe solution (alternating with Great White) - Every feeding: Homemade liquefied dry nutrients (I'll document the process soon) What I’m aiming for: - A super simple KNF-style organic grow - A 100 to 1,000x reduction in dry nutrient usage - Consistent, quality harvests This is my perpetual medicinal plant harvest, and I’m just hoping everything stays on track! Hope you enjoy~ 1 Corinthians 10:26

5/28/24 oh damn baby, this cultivar is gonna be colorful 6/2 plant is still throwing out pistils but also chunking up quite nicely. I tried to create just mainly top colas. In description she should have a 3-5 nodal colas with disconnected nugs underneath that. But I only ended up with 3 node colas give or take but with maybe 2 more weeks if veg would've given me larger branches and bigger cola structure and can always cut the larfy.

The plant was harvested on day 67 of flower and is now hanging up to dry. I've got the drying environment set at around 58-60% humidity with a temperature range of 15-19°C. Hoping for a nice slow dry to preserve those terps! 👃💨 Will update once it's ready for the next step. Stay tuned! 🚀
