Big Fat Wedding Cake grew well under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights. Nice frosty colas with a spicy kush smell. Looks very potent and tasty. I did burn her in flowering when the nutrition got too strong for her. My bad. She still turned out great.

31.10. - Finally entering the flower stage, really excited about my first auto yield. Adjusted and added a few new ties on the biggest one. Removed ties from middle one to let her stretch out a bit. Watered. 2.10. - Added one more ml/l of Bio Bloom to the mix. I can already see some sugar one the leaves and many new bud sites. Watered. 6.10. - Just wow. All three plants are showing nice progress. The smallest one, which was stunted by overwatering in seedling stage shot out new branches and I'm not sure if it's good in almost 7th week. Plucked out few leaves on all three to expose the bud sites. 31.10. - 6.11.2023

Fattening up every day now and sugar producing very fast! Smells absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Not very strong atm but very sweet and fruity, definitely a strain I think I’ll enjoy and grow more of! Looking very beautiful also and I love the structure, would definitely recommend so far! Has been very easy to grow and put up with a lot of stress from me 🤣 Amazing!!

Sour Diesel — The Little Survivor Harvest & Trimming Report — Part 1 Before starting this report properly, we once again want to apologize for dividing the harvest documentation into multiple parts. Even when plants are smaller than the giants we have shown recently, we still believe every genetic deserves proper documentation, proper explanation, and enough time to tell the full story from seed to final medicine. That means: - harvest, - drying, - trimming, - curing, - smoke review, - terpene analysis, - and final reflections all deserve their own moments. And honestly? That is exactly what GrowDiaries is about for us. Not just showing finished buds. But documenting the entire journey honestly. The beautiful parts. And also the difficult ones. --- This week, we are talking about the smallest and most unhappy girl from the room: Our Sour Diesel. And honestly… in a room full of different genetics sharing the same environment, same feeding schedule, same lighting, same humidity and same rhythm, it is impossible to make every single plant perfectly happy all the time. Some genetics thrive. Some tolerate. Some struggle. And this Sour Diesel definitely struggled more than the others during this run. Compared to the monsters surrounding her inside the 8x8 room, she stayed smaller, more sensitive, and clearly less comfortable with the overall conditions. But here is the important part: She never gave up. And neither did we. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is remove the weak plant and move on. But when we have: - the space, - the patience, - the time, - and the love for growing, sometimes it is worth allowing plants the opportunity to recover and finish their journey. And honestly? We are very happy we did. Because despite all the struggles, this little Sour Diesel still delivered beautiful medicine. --- By Week 15 from seed, she was finally ready. Not the biggest plant. Not the frostiest in the room. Not the highest yielder. But still beautiful in her own way. Dense little flowers. Strong aromas already developing. Beautiful trichomes. Classic Sour Diesel energy hidden underneath the stress she experienced. And because the entire room was coming down together, her time also arrived. Could she maybe have stayed another week? Possibly. But in a mixed-room environment, timing becomes a collective decision. And honestly, we were happy with where her trichomes stood: mostly cloudy, a few amber, still some clear heads, but overall exactly inside the window we personally enjoy harvesting our medicine. --- After harvest, we broke the plant down branch by branch and placed everything carefully onto drying racks. Drying conditions stayed similar to the rest of the room: around 20°C and 60% humidity. Slow. Controlled. Patient. Exactly how we like it. After roughly 7–10 days, once those little branch snaps finally gave us that beautiful “click” every grower loves hearing, trimming time arrived. And honestly? For a smaller plant, this became a very peaceful trimming session. Trim bin on stage. Gloves on. Zamnesia curved scissors ready. Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always. And one by one, we cleaned her carefully. Those curved scissors truly make a difference for us because they allow easy access deep into compact flowers while preserving structure and avoiding unnecessary damage to the buds. Small details matter during trimming. Especially with resinous flowers. --- And despite being a smaller harvest… this girl was still sticky. Very sticky. The gloves quickly started collecting resin, giving us beautiful finger hash that we rolled gently into small charas-style balls to enjoy later. And honestly? One of the most beautiful parts of hand trimming is exactly this connection. Feeling the resin. Feeling the texture. Understanding the plant directly through touch. No machine replaces that. The trim bin also collected a nice amount of resin-rich material through the screen, which we later gathered into another small hash ball. Not massive amounts. But beautiful medicine nonetheless. And honestly? That always makes us happy. --- Final dry result: 54.2 grams. And while some growers may look only at numbers, we honestly prefer looking at stories. Because this plant easily could have been discarded much earlier in the run. Instead, she recovered, finished, dried properly, trimmed beautifully, and now rests curing safely inside one of the Zamnesia vacuum metal containers. For smaller personal jars like this, we absolutely love these containers because: - they preserve aromas very well, - reduce unnecessary air exchange, - protect terpenes, - and keep special flowers separated for long-term enjoyment. This became one of those “open only sometimes” jars. The kind of medicine you revisit quietly from time to time. --- We also decided to press part of this Sour Diesel to explore her resin potential. But… we will save that entire conversation for Part 2. Because that story deserves its own moment. And honestly? There are lessons there worth sharing. --- For now, we simply close this chapter feeling grateful. Grateful that we kept her alive. Grateful that patience won. Grateful that even the “unhappy plant” still found a way to become beautiful medicine. Sometimes plants teach us more during struggle than during perfection. And this Sour Diesel definitely reminded us of that. --- Huge thanks once again to: Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrients, Future of Grow LEDs for the lighting, GrowDiaries for the platform, and every single person following these journeys. The OGs. The silent followers. The new growers. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The accidental visitors. If you are here reading this… you are part of the story too. And honestly? We appreciate all of you. Part 2 coming soon: Smoke review, curing evolution, terpene profile, rosin discussion, and final thoughts about this little survivor. The journey continues. 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 💚 Quick little side note before closing this update: Apologies if some of the photo sequences appear slightly out of order or jump a bit between stages. With hundreds of files, multiple cameras, daytime/nighttime shots, trimming sessions, macros, and documentation spread across different moments, sometimes the gallery decides to dance left, right, up and down on its own 😄 But honestly… maybe that chaos is also part of the real grow room energy. Nothing here is over-polished or artificially perfect. Just real plants, real moments, real documentation and real passion for the craft. Thank you all for following along through every step of the journey 🌱

Papaya Sunrise continues its development with discretion but remarkable efficiency. The buds are taking shape and color, and the introduction of Overdrive has already begun to show signs of an impact on trichome density. 💧 Irrigation now includes 3 daily cycles via drip kit, a key addition for this strain that is sensitive to water stress. 🔆 Lights: 100% Phlizon FD9600 Mars Hydro ADlite for low canopy 📉 No additional boosters. Only the pH Perfect line + AN ad ditives (Bud Candy, Bud Factor X, Rhino Skin, Sensizym, Overdrive). A dehumidifier is coming soon to further stabilize the microclimate.

Checked the trichomes of both Guava and Frostbanger and they aren't ready yet. Still about 75-80% milky/cloudy and 20-25% clear. The only amber trichomes are on the sugar leaves and fan leaves. I'm surprised how purple/black Guava has gotten since it's not supposed to be that color and is supposed to be sativa-dominant, not short like it is, but certainly not complaining because this pheno will get an A+ for bag appeal! Gelato has some nice purpling now too. I've been flushing Guava for a while but I'll probably start flushing the others since they're probably only a week or two behind Guava. The Zamnesia strains seem to be maturing the slowest of the lot, but still seem perfectly healthy. I've been removing yellow fan leaves and tying up sagging buds as needed. Included a video this time, so check it out!

Finally, 25 weeks i believe... Mold, mildew, bud rot, rain, humidity, crazy wind, frost. Somehow these girls turned out just fine and I am so proud of the end result. I am late posting, everything is pretty much all cured up and ready to smoke. Just finished making some stocking-stuffer jars for friends and family for Christmas. It was interesting to see the different phenotypes from each plant. One was named Average Girl, medium size, medium height. Then there was Big Bitch. She was the tallest and had the skinniest nugs. Next was Dolly.. She had the fattest cones of the 4.. a little shorter than Average Girl. And last was Runt... She was about 2 weeks behind her sisters and about a foot shorter, but she did not get any mold or mildew, and her buds were ginormous. I let her go an extra 2-3 weeks later than her sisters, bringing her into the garage every night at 7 pm, and then waking up at 7 am to put her outside. By far, my favorite plant was Runty. She finished up so nice. Overall smell is Kushy blueberry diesel cat piss with a hint of citrus. Wouldn't grow this strain again just because it did not handle the weather well, and I like a kushier final product, on the taste and nose. That being said, I am a very happy guy right now. Over and out.

Removing any yellowing bottom leaves from all plants. Blue Afghan has started greening at the top and buds are developing nicely. The Mac N Jack and the cherry garseeya are competing for fastest flowering, buds are gonna be massive and I have a feeling the Blue Afghan will catch up nicely.

Growth is super, despite having splitting and getting a break where I topped due to something falling on the plant. I quickly patched her up with some electrical tape and a cable tie and she recovered within a day! Super resilient plant. She's starting to smell and putting out a few pistils already at the end of week 1 flower!

So far everything went quite well, but at the end of the week she showed a magnesium deficit, which I can't really explain, as I pay extreme attention to these values. She was defoliated and continues to develop well despite the deficiency.
