Exciting week the plants are all out of germination and into their veg growth stage. This means we get to begin the exciting work of building our soil. When the plants veg growth reaches the tips of the pots, this indicates the roots also have and your plant is then ready for more room. We have a fantastic grow shop in town that is great about soil classes and teaching you some great essentials. We plan on utilizing this resource and will keep you updated with the progress of the soil build. Stay tuned for compost tea as well ;) Stopped by the grow shop to get the run down on the soil build. Because building your own soil creates hot soil, it needs to sit for 6-8 weeks. This obviously won't work for our purposes on this grow. After some deliberation we decided to go with a pre built soil that has already sat and composted. We are going to go with Build A Soil because they have done tons of research into their super soils. We want to do a super soil so that we don't have to top dress or add in any nutrients, we want the grow to be as natural as possible. After looking at Build A Soil's options we are leaning toward the L.O.S. OLY Recipe. This recipe uses 33% OLY Mountain fish compost. We want each plant to be able to finish out in the pots that we switch them into from their nursery pots. I recently found a new grow bag that we are going to try out for this next grow. It is a bag so it has a much larger circumference than the grow pots. It also has a lining on the sides of the grow bag so that it doesn't dry out from the sides like normal grow bags. This is our ideal growing situation because we are trying to simulate earth. When a plant is in the ground in the earth it doesn't dry out from the sides, we don't want our plants to either. The bags are very large (15 gal) but we don't want to fill to the top, in case we need to top dress more soil in the future. We use one cubic foot bag of soil per plant per container. This change will happen tomorrow at the turn of the week. Starting week two of Veg growth we will be in the containers that we finish in. This means minimal transplant stress and much less room for human error effecting my medicine.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the grand Week 1 Veg Report for our Epsilon F1, and oh, what a week it has been! Buckle up as we delve into the lavish life of our green companion, surrounded by the best of the best in the plant kingdom. First things first, our little Epsilon F1 needed a new home, a place to stretch those roots and spread its leafy wings. So, I orchestrated a majestic transplant into a cozy little pot filled with a blend of soil and the magical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This mix, my friends, is like the VIP section for our plant's roots, housing a variety of endomycorrhizae that are the backbone of a thriving crop. They're like the secret agents working undercover to ensure our Epsilon F1's success. Picture James Bond, but for plants. Now, onto the royal feast! I'm sticking to the Aptus Holland nutrient line, and let me tell you, it's like fine dining for plants. Our watering regimen involves the use of Regulator, a concoction of mono-silicic acid, boron, and molybdenum. This is like the plant's personal nutrient chauffeur, ensuring everything gets to the right place at the right time. Silicic acid? Check. Boron for calcium uptake and fiber production? Double-check. Molybdenum to shuffle nitrogen around? Triple-check. It's like a nutrient ballet in every drop! But that's not all, my friends. Enter CaMg-Boost, the organo-mineral superstar that prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while turning our plant into a fruit-setting maestro. Firm and high-quality end product? You bet! It's the secret sauce for a successful harvest. And then there's the All-in-One Liquid, a 100% mineral-based fertilizer that's like the Swiss Army knife of nutrients. From vegetative phase to flowering/maturation, it's got our plant covered. pH variations? Not a problem for this versatile gem. It's the superhero of the nutrient world, swooping in to save the day regardless of the grow medium or system. But let's not forget the Startbooster, our organic root and growth stimulator. It's the motivational speaker for our plant, whispering words of encouragement to the root system and promoting vigorous vegetative growth. Specific microlife biomass? Oh, you know it's in there, working its magic to enhance root development and provide bioavailable nutrition. It's like a plant pep talk in a bottle. Our Epsilon F1 is currently basking in the glory under a dome, and I can't help but beam with pride. Shout-outs to @James and the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds for this amazing genetic journey, Aptus Holland for being the nutrient wizards behind the curtain, and Grow Diaries for being the virtual garden where we share our triumphs and tribulations. Stay tuned, dear readers that i consider friends, as we watch our Epsilon F1 thrive and blossom into a botanical masterpiece. Happy growing, and may your gardens be forever green! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

The Fastbudauto From Sweetseeds are the last strains of these bank to becomes flowering, but Still looking greatly and creating Amazing cola's,we are glad to have these companies in our testing genetics. Hopefully we will get the videos up on Time.

Boy oh boy look at these babies grow I'm studying them more and more to ensure they are happy. I've notice that gelato 41 is producing bud spots like thats what it was ment for. Tropi cherry is coming along but not as fast as G41, and runtz muffin im a little disappointed in but i believe that is my fault for im still new and have only grown 1 plant prior to these 3. It also doesnt help i had to cut the vegitation cycle by 2 weeks as well. and further more I was at least able to give 2 clones away, the rest were still good but couldn't find them homes so i had to throw them away. Next time I'll have all the room they need and can't wait to make mother plants of my favorites.

Die Blüten wurden zur Hälfte nass getrimmt. Die Trocknung erfolgte im Growzelt mit Ventilator und Abluft bei einer Temperatur von 22 Grad Celsius und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von ca. 56 Prozent über 7-9 Tage. Bei der täglichen Kontrolle habe ich wenige Blüten gefunden, die ich entsorgen musste. Sie braucht schon etwas Aufmerksamkeit, die Shaman. Anschließend wurden die Blüten trocken weiter getrimmt und zum Aushärten mit Boveda 62% in Schnappdeckelgläsern bei 20 Grad in einem Eichenschrank gelagert. Das Endprodukt und ein abschließender Konsumreport folgen. Ich bin ziemlich happy! 💚

DOGK Is on week 11, week 6 of flowering. It's stayed in a 2L pot. (Wasn't my intention. But after a silly mistake. 2 seeds stems were crushed with pebbles) She SMELLS F.....g amazing & I'm absolutely raging this is her size. Had I known what I do now. I'd of put these in a 20L pot like Euphoria. For being stuck in a 2L pot. She has grown fairly well. Few issues on the leaves but Nothing that set her back. The buds are still fattening lower but the tops are rock hard. She stinks of gasey berries. OMG it smells DIVINE, :-). (NOTE: I will back date pics. I've misplaced my other device with the past 4 weeks of photos. Missed her past 2 weeks. But, she's a breeze to deal with in such a small pot & being hydro. "Coco/pebbles 40/60" I'd say she has roughly 3+ weeks left to go.. HST was done after preflower, week 3 of flowering(still some growing left in her) and she grew up to her OG height. She will get a heavy & last defol in the next week. Her tops are done. But, 80% down she is still fattening. Week12 Day80 I've decided that 90% of her is done. She's only been 7-8 weeks flowering. The 2L pot sped things up. Yield will be tiny. 7-10g of A grade bud. The smell is just astounding. The buds glisten with resin and sticky af..

Hot week

*LOS FERTILIZANTES SON HACIA LAS OTRAS PLANTAS NO TERMINADAS NO LA QUE SE CORTO ESA SOLO AGUA* *reemplazo bio bloom por monster bloom como los dos son PK la planta se sobrefertiliza* semana 10 y se va de corte la primera contento de terminar mi primer diario entero en esta plataforma cogollos llenos de resina muy contento con la producción en 68 días desde germinación *la planta en total creo un poco menos que el doble de lo que se corto pero fui sacándoselo de a poco antes* ahora solo queda esperar secar y las otras que vienen en camino 70.85 gramos en humedo contando tallos y una hoja de viento por rama espero marcar unos 15 en solo cogollos y ya secos LST en las dos ramas principales de una de las que viene siguiente muy compacta en lo personal me gustan los cogollos con casi nada de hoja (de esto dependerá cuanto raspe en la garganta) por lo que el humo entra sin dejar ninguna molestia muy suave y sativo

Now just time to build up nice colas. Lets work it out. Max Co2-Light-Feeding. Does Auto can become Photoperiodic?!!! Yield?! Quility?! Lets try to build up HULK All topping are done.

Salut les growmies Fin de la semaine de croissance donc la nouvelle sera en mode 12H/12H. aujourd'hui j'avant de passer mes contrôleurs en mode foraison : J'ai traité en préventif la totalité de l'espace et des plantes à IPW. J'ai prélevé des clones de chaque individu et pour finir j'ai installé le filet et j'ai commencé à palisser les filles sur le filets afin de bien remplir l'espace 18/09 5 jours apres le switch 20/09. Video du 7eme jours de la 1er semaine en 12H/12H. Les filles sont justes éblouissantes. Les nutriments BIOTABS sont exceptionnels. Avec, les filles sont en pleine santé et plein de vigueur.

Servus Moin! Die Bluzcotti Vaders Cut riecht wieder extrem BlueSherb-Soapy, Citrus, Gassy... einfach genial. Die Buds werden langsam auch deutlich härter und fangen an Richtung Ausreifung zu gehen. Man sieht sogar wie sie langsam grau-bläulich werden. Sie wurde das letzte mal jetzt entlaubt und ist bereit für die letzten 3-4 Wochen.

Hello everybody Welcome to the review week 😁 (Harvest pictures previous week) What can i say. Another very fun year doing this hobby. Grow number 5 since I'm here on growdiaries and ever year I improved because ofvall the knowledge here. Last year my NL'S started fantastic but it went horribly wrong during flowering. I was very motivated for this revenge round since NL is great strain and I knew where the mistakes were made in the previous grow. Made a well fed soil, added lots of RQS nutrients and made it extra airy by adding about 20 to 25 % extra perlite. Germination was made in a soil plug. Soaked the seed for 24h and then 12h in a moisted paper napkin . After the root came out a little bit i put her directly in the soil plug After 2 days she put her head out 🙏 Vegative phase was fun but she was stunted from the cold in the first weeks outside. With photoperiods that's not a problem but with autoflowers u end up with a small plant. Gave some neem oil spray too every week. No bugs have been seen on the plant. Fantastic product I did my first LST training and that was so fun to do. I fucked up here and there and should have spread the canopy more open but i give myself 6,5/10 for the first time 😁 Didn't break anything and she reacted well on my inexperienced hands. Will always do this from now on but with adjustments of course 😁 we grow to learn In flowering she did well but she stayed on the small side, wasn't very bushy and didn't completely filled up the space she had. But the plant was healthy and what she had did very well and delivered super nice buds. In the final 2 weeks she really bulked up a lot and gave me my first handsized buds ❤️🙏 I had Budrot because of high humidity in the morning and 2 small rains. It was extremely warm here during July and August but during the days we had 30° to 40° Celsius with low humidity and at night 15°Celsius with night and morning humidity of 80% to 100% 🤷‍♂️ 🙄 talk about a challenge Every plant will develop problems in such swinging climate conditions but the NL did pretty good. Lost about 20% of the plant unfortunately but that's life After 16 weeks she looked done for me. Chopped her and had to dry her in warm weather. The tent was around 23°Celsius, couldn't get it lower. After 5 days the smaller buds were on the verge of just a bit too wet but close to dry and i know it's better to put them in a little bit more wet instead of too dry because it's harder to add moisture than the other way around. Opened the jars 4 times daily the first week and it was okay. The handsized more wet buds were added after 7 days of drying and didn't have any problems. An overall very smooth grow untill the budrot problem. Will grow this one again since i have 10 seeds left of them 😁 (small note for RQS if they read this : mix up the free strains guys 😂 1 Royal Jack and 13 NL here) Thanks for the help and comments Another year were i learned a lot from everyone here 🙏 Happy growing 🙏

I did a last defoliation on the NL and left the WA flowering! I kept the nutrient as RQS recommends and for now I didn’t not have any problems beside some few yellow marks on some leaves but nothing really noticeable

Strawberry Gorilla harvest

They started blowing up last week we're in the beginning of the 4th week and there looking good spraying them with Dr zymes ones a week

Day 79 - Another week passes, not much to post, normal feeding, 1000 ppm 6.2 PH, normal lights, the girls are fattening up nicely...... 😎 Day 84 - some pics/vids.... pics of a Test Bud (ready for curing)......doing some experimentation..... read up about drying and curing, but i don't have a set method, so test abit..... never grown bud before..... 👍 my tent is really small, i think 50x120x160 or something... and it's tight in there, i have no other source of herb, so i'm going to start getting into the smaller one, and focus the light on the larger one..... i've been trimming and drying all during the grow.... there's really only enough room for the big one, and it's really squishy in the tent........ 😎

🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno A | Week 4 The adventure continues… Every week this project reminds me why I love growing from seed. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients, the same lighting and exactly the same environment, each phenotype writes its own story. That’s exactly what this diary is about. This is Godfather OG – Pheno A from Zamnesia, grown as part of my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different genetics are all being cultivated using the 12/12 from seed method. The goal isn’t to chase massive vegetative plants, but to discover each cultivar’s natural expression while keeping everything under identical conditions. Week 4 has been all about building structure. The roots are now well established, the branches are strengthening, and the plant is beginning to reveal the architecture that will support the coming stretch. Every day she becomes a little easier to read, and so far she’s telling a very promising story. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development This phenotype has developed into a beautiful, compact plant with excellent vigor. The overall colour is rich and healthy, while the newest growth shows that vibrant lime-green tone typical of fast, actively dividing tissue. One thing that immediately catches my attention is how symmetrical she is becoming. The internodal spacing remains tight, producing a dense canopy filled with potential flowering sites. The stem is noticeably thick and sturdy, which is always something I like to see before entering the real flowering stretch. Strong foundations usually lead to strong harvests. Large fan leaves are doing an incredible job powering photosynthesis while shading portions of the canopy that aren’t yet ready for full exposure. Overall, she looks calm, healthy and completely comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training this week remained focused on Low Stress Training (LST). Instead of removing leaves, I’m continuing to gently reposition branches and tuck larger fan leaves underneath developing shoots. This simple technique allows more light to reach secondary growth without sacrificing valuable solar panels. The beauty of leaf tucking is that nothing is permanently removed. The plant keeps all of its energy-producing leaves while the lower branches receive enough light to begin competing for canopy space. Every day the branches become a little more flexible and easier to position. As they continue to harden, they’ll naturally hold their new shape, creating a wider and more even canopy. It’s a slow process, but one that consistently pays off later in flower. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The nutrition remains simple and consistent. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution adjustments: * pH: 6.1 * EC: 1.35 mS/cm Nothing dramatic has changed because there simply isn’t any need to fix something that is already working. The plant is responding beautifully, producing vigorous new growth without any signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. The root zone appears very healthy, allowing the canopy to expand steadily every day. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues to perform exceptionally well despite the warm weather. Environmental conditions • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C While daytime temperatures are certainly on the higher side, maintaining stable humidity, good airflow and constant irrigation allows the plants to continue growing without showing signs of heat stress. Healthy roots make an enormous difference during warmer periods, and so far this room is handling those conditions remarkably well. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to continue guiding the canopy through gentle LST while allowing the secondary branches to catch up with the main leaders. If she continues developing at this pace, she should enter the flowering stretch with an even canopy, excellent branch distribution and plenty of future bud sites already exposed to light. For now, patience remains the best training technique. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed continues to be one of the most fascinating experiments I’ve ever undertaken. Every phenotype responds differently. Some stretch early, others remain compact, while others completely surprise me halfway through the cycle. That’s exactly why I enjoy documenting every single plant individually. Watching each phenotype express its unique personality under identical conditions teaches me far more than simply chasing yield. Every week brings another lesson, and every diary becomes another chapter in that learning process. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey, whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve just discovered the diary. Thank you to those who leave kind comments, ask thoughtful questions, share knowledge, and even to the critics who encourage me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make this community stronger. A special thank you goes to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, compare and learn from one another. And of course, endless gratitude to the incredible companies helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the amazing Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the light that powers every day of growth. Finally, thank you for taking the time to follow this 8×8 adventure. I hope these weekly updates inspire you to keep growing, keep learning, and most importantly, enjoy every step of the journey. Until next week… Growers Love and Happy growing! 🌱💚
