The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

Things are moving right along, been doing some LST on bottom nodes along with slight leaf tucking. Less stress is best with autos they say. After reading other diaries, I am assuming this next week she’s gonna start flowering. Might raise feed to 70% of what fox farm recommends, she’s been loving it so far! Have a diy co2 generator with yeast and sugar not sure ppm it’s producing but pumping it up.

🍇 Purple Haze Photoperiod – Phenotype B | Week 4 (Vegetation) The Bush That Wants Every Ray of Light Week four belonged to Purple Haze B. While her sister is preparing for life on the AutoPot system, this girl is following a different path, remaining as a hand-watered control plant for what will become a very interesting side-by-side comparison later in the grow. Even though they are sharing identical conditions, genetics, nutrients, and training philosophy, every phenotype writes its own story. That is exactly why I love phenotype hunting. This one has chosen to become a compact jungle. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 Overview What a transformation. During the week she exploded sideways, filling every available space with healthy branches and fresh growth. Instead of stretching upward, she invested her energy into building a dense, symmetrical canopy that is becoming thicker every single day. From above she already resembles a small green island. Large solar-panel fan leaves overlap beautifully while dozens of vigorous shoots continue racing toward the light. Every new node appears healthy, evenly spaced and ready to become another flowering site once the transition begins. The rich emerald color tells me everything is working together exactly as intended. Sometimes the healthiest plants are the ones that simply don’t give you anything to complain about. This is one of those. ⸻ 🌿 12/12 From Seed As with every plant in this project, Purple Haze B is being grown using my favorite 12/12 From Seed method. The lighting schedule stays at 12 hours from germination until harvest, allowing the plant to naturally progress through its life without ever experiencing a traditional vegetative photoperiod. The goal isn’t maximum size. The goal is efficiency, fast turnaround, excellent quality, and discovering how each genetic expresses itself under these conditions. Every phenotype reacts differently. That’s exactly what makes this project so exciting. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training (LST) This week’s training focused exclusively on Low Stress Training. Rather than cutting or removing growth, branches are gently bent and positioned to create a flatter canopy. Why? Because every branch that receives equal light has the opportunity to become a productive flowering top. LST offers several advantages: • Improves light penetration throughout the canopy. • Encourages multiple dominant tops instead of one main cola. • Creates better airflow inside dense plants. • Produces a more even canopy before flowering. • Increases the number of quality bud sites. Watching this little bush respond over the week has been incredibly satisfying. Every adjustment rewarded me with even more vigorous growth just a day or two later. ⸻ ? Why This Plant Is Staying Hand Watered Although she’s growing inside an AutoPot container, this phenotype is intentionally NOT connected to the AutoPot system yet. She will serve as the comparison plant while her sister begins receiving gravity-fed irrigation. Everything else remains identical: • Same genetics. • Same substrate. • Same nutrients. • Same environment. • Same lighting. The only real variable will be irrigation. It should make for a fascinating comparison later in the grow. ⸻ 💧 What Is an AutoPot? The AutoPot system is a completely passive irrigation system that waters plants automatically without pumps, electricity or timers. Instead, it relies on one beautifully simple principle: Gravity. A nutrient reservoir sits slightly higher than the pots, allowing nutrient solution to naturally flow toward the plants. Each pot sits inside an AutoPot tray containing a very clever device called the AquaValve. ⸻ ⚙️ The AquaValve The AquaValve is the heart of the AutoPot system. It works like a miniature mechanical valve that opens and closes entirely on its own. Here’s how it works: • The tray fills with nutrient solution. • Once the plants drink everything available, the tray becomes empty. • Only then does the AquaValve reopen. • Fresh nutrient solution enters the tray. • The cycle repeats automatically. The result is a constant wet-and-dry rhythm without electronics, pumps or programming. The roots decide when they are ready for another drink. For me, that’s one of the smartest irrigation systems ever designed. ⸻ 🌱 Current Feeding This week the girls continued receiving the Plagron Terra program: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Solution maintained at: * EC: 1.35 * pH: 6.1 The plants continue responding with lush, healthy foliage and vigorous new growth. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Conditions remained stable throughout the week: * 🌡️ Day temperature: 33°C * 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative humidity: 63% * 🌱 Root zone temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient solution: 26°C * 🌿 CO₂: 639 ppm Even with the warmer daytime temperatures, the plants have shown excellent vigor, with no signs of nutrient stress or environmental fatigue. ⸻ 📸 Final Thoughts Purple Haze B is quickly becoming one of those plants that constantly catches my eye whenever I open the tent. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She’s building something even more exciting—a thick, compact canopy packed with potential flowering sites. In a few weeks we’ll discover whether the hand-watered approach can keep pace with her sister running on the AutoPot system. Either way… I’m pretty sure we’re all going to learn something. And that’s exactly why we grow. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone making this project possible. Genetics: Zamnesia Seeds 🌱 Nutrients & Substrate: Plagron 💧 Irrigation: AutoPot 💡 Lighting: Lumniflora and Future Of Grow LEDs 📖 Grow Journal: GrowDiaries Your support allows experiments like this to happen, and I hope sharing every step helps growers around the world learn right alongside me. Growers Love and see you all next week! 🍇🌿

Just bought and added an automatic display to rotate this plant. I'm looking forward to seeing the results it has over time. I was inspired by a Reddit user (wish I could remember their name) but what a fantastic idea! More to come!

16/10/2025 18:25 15°C 64%RH Here i am,man these plants smells a lot,super Fire🔥🔥 When every tree in the forest have yellow and brown falling leaves two hidden in plain sight marijuana plants stays green and keeps bumping juicy buds especially Coco fresh Days are now shorter,colder and the wettest days of the year are now officially beginning 30 minutes after we went out of the forest an heavy rain started and didn't stop until 18/10 morning,i'm honestly worried about my plants,😭 #1 Coco Milk 89 days from seed Buds are now putting on some weight ,i don't expect a big yield from her but the quality Is here better than any expectation Keep smelling like milk and coconut simply stronger than 5 days ago At 1:50 you could see a strange calix formation,that thing Is enormous and it's the only one in both plants I'm not worried about this,i find It funny and i'm intersted if someone can explain It scientifically #2 Coco fresh 77 days from seed Bigger bigger and bigger!!! This one doesn't give a fuck if nights are longer and colder,the buds have a totally different dimension in less than a week,smell is now coming through pretty similar to her sister Coco Milk with a funky candy twist not so potent right now According to the moon phases theory i will harvest probably 4/5 november when the moon will be full again Apricot and part of the gorilla z was harvested during the so called super moon and the difference on the smell and crystal coverage are pretty impressive being honest That's why i will push until the next full moon even with impossible climate Pictures and #3 Coco milk sample wet trimmed,have to say hard to trim,but the final result looks and smells AMAZING I know that Is better to wait but i have to try this ASAP,i have to know how It tastes Tomorrow i will update smoke report of gorilla z and apricot auto,next guerrilla spot update 22/10 maybe

Things are now advancing smoothly, having effectively weathered the majority of the challenges encountered. It's a truly uplifting experience to watch the process unfold, seeing how the plants are developing and thriving. Each day brings new progress, and I am continually enthusiastic about maximizing the sunlight that each plant receives as they continue on their growth journey. In addition to the hands-on cultivation aspect, I'm also diligently working on expanding my clones collection. The plan for the next week or so is to cultivate and ready these clones for transplantation. It's an exciting aspect of the process that helps me stay committed to my ultimate goal. That goal, of course, is to maximize my supply chain and provide high-quality cannabis. This involves more than just horticultural efforts. I am also persistently studying and researching the relevant laws to familiarize myself with the legal process. Navigating the licensing phase is a vital part of this journey, and I am committed to understanding and adhering to all legal requirements to ensure success in this venture. Diary Entry for Growth Project: Day 24 - Today, a slower-growing plant was effectively moved from its soil environment into an idle hydroponic system. With this transition, the count of prospering plants stands at eight, with a couple more still being monitored due to uncertain growth. Significant discoveries include the paramount importance of light distance to the plants, which was underestimated initially. Further, it has been found that genetically modified seeds hold no superiority over the prevalent autoflower seed market. Additionally, the positioning of the plant and the volume of medium placed between the plants and the water source have been recognized as key determinants in accelerating early stage growth. Welcome to the Day 25 update of our grow journal. I must apologize for the slight confusion - although the video says it’s day 23, today indeed marks the 25th day of our journey. I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve had a successful transplant. The plants are now settling nicely into their new environments. The question now at hand is, should we introduce stress training? As we move into days 26 and 27, I have been pondering on this. High-stress training can sometimes stimulate growth, but in our current situation, it might not be the most prudent course of action. This time around, we are expecting all our plants in the grow tent to blossom concurrently. In light of this, I’m leaning towards letting nature take its course rather than intervening with stress training. By doing so, we will allow our plants to focus their energy solely on flowering. The goal here is to encourage the production of dense and frosty buds, the hallmark of a successful growth cycle. Rest assured, we’ll continue to provide the plants with the care and nutrients they need. Remember, every cycle is a learning experience, and we’re on this botanical journey together. Keep checking back for more updates on our garden’s progress.

Mandarin Squeeze sisters has been doing well. One is dominating the other which was no surprise. I changed the light schedule to 12/12 avout 4 days ago. I also did a solution change on her 2 days ago. They both are looking pretty healthy even with a light battle. All the pest are confirmed dead. As no new signs have been seen for some time. Everything is looking good at the moment. Thank you Terpyz Mutant Genetics, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ultima semana de nuestras northern light xL y aunque no destaquen de las demás por su olor, sacaron un gran tamaño nuestras flores. Bastante productoras, ya veremos en peso que nos dan . Son algo más complicadas de cultivar que las otras 2 del mismo proyecto. Pero no es una dificultad extrema, solo que hay que aguantarlas un poco más y tener cuidado con las carencias ya que chupa bastante comida. No pinta mal esta cepa veremos los resultados las siguientes semanas. Buen cultivo nada de plagas y no tuvimos que tutores todas, solo algunas 😂 Nos vemos la próxima familia.

not sure where the dry weight thing went but i dont fill in wet weight. who even weighs there whole plant? dry yield is 269gram of pure bud. Grown in a 22liter pot with biobizz lightmix soil and greenhousefeeding bio line this smells so hard that my neigbor called the cops. she even smelled it in her apartment so its game over for me because off this plant. never came across such a weed smelling strain in the 8 years that im growing. hope to be back in 6 months or so.

Hey guys :-) Unfortunately I had so much to do with the flowers that I hardly had time for the veggie update last week :-) I trained the ladies with LST and topping. I will do that for a while because you still have time until there is space in the bloom tent 😅. They were watered twice a week with 1-1.2 l each time (see table above for nutrients). Tomorrow they will be treated again with nematodes against tripse because I saw some in the vegi room 😡. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun with the update 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/product/kosher-tangie-kush/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
