Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. Decided to finally finish this diary so that on New Year eve I'm not opening the year with unfinished business. Now we cut the second Tropicanna XL auto plant, the first cut you can find in week 17. The plant from week 17 weighted 2.6 kilo wet, this one finished at 2.1kg. wet. The girls where autoflower but thanks to me starting this grow in cold day temps (14 degree Celsius) the started flower really late and grew and grew :) I enjoyed growing this strain immensely, smells so sweet and fruity, she has the most intense and most delicious aroma ever She brunches off like crazy, gave me a ton of big and dense bud. They were the biggest plants I have ever grown and to top that this cultivar rewarded me with one of the most tasteful buds, fit even for a picky connesour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SE7000 done it's magic with this grow as with all my other grow ops. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture ($ to gram) here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Thank you all for your companionship on this voyage, I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as I did. Also thank you for this awesome year together here. Together with my little family we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy slide into the New Year, we love you all.

So in this diary it has become a comparison! I am feeding 3 organic and 3 synthetic to see how or if the results vary! I decided to top the younger ones earlier as they had fast pace growth and they are just showing vigor! I have such thick leaves too and stems so expecting an amazing turn around when I do the second topping! These are all mysteries! Some seeds sent to me are the organic and others I found in a harvest so will be interesting indeed.... Happy growing buddies ✌️💚 and they all have such vigor in growth because of the dynomyco 😜 very useful! I used it on transfers! So not sure of the amount as I sprinkled it in the potting hole

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Dosidos continues to smell and is very sticky. It is a tall with stacked buds. I am interested to see how big the buds will be. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

Salute, topman. It is this bush that will be 160 grams, and all together with the neighboring ones - 780 grams of dry and 250 second-rate, although 1100-1250 was expected ... Probably overkill with the far red 660nm booster (one of the bushes was super bubbly and airy, but gave only 100g when 300g was expected...). In general, I try this beauty for the second time, the second time I am pleased, but this time with the most exquisite taste and smell. To say I recommend is an understatement! Look how it all began! ^^

🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Grow Recap (from seed to now) Strain: Amnesia Skunk Auto-Flower: 12/12 from seed Current age: Week 7 from seed Flowering reference: Week 3 of flower (by morphology, not calendar) How we got here • From day one, this run was intentional: 12/12 from seed, no veg phase. • Plants established quickly with strong root development and steady internodal spacing. • Early structure showed vigorous lateral branching, typical of Amnesia-leaning genetics. • Transition into flower was smooth — no stall, no stress signals. • By early flower, canopy density increased fast, especially in a full 8×8 room (~27 plants). This is where room logic started to matter more than single-plant logic. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (current) • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: ~2.4 • pH: ~6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • Lighting: LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. In practice? This is where understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (the part most skip) Under LED lighting, room temperature ≠ what the plant feels. Unlike HPS, LEDs: • Don’t dump infrared heat • Keep leaf surface temperature 2–4 °C cooler than ambient So when: • Room temp ≈ 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants confirm it: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing • No stress-praying • Strong internodes • Uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes That’s real data. We’re not ignoring numbers — we’re letting plant behavior be the final authority. Stability fixing something that isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — why it was heavier this week Let’s be very clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional, room-driven defoliation. Context matters • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, humidity pockets, and light penetration scale very differently at this density A single plant might not ask for it — but the room did. Why we defoliated • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Let photons travel into the canopy, not just hit the top • Reset apical dominance • Refocus energy toward flowering sites Yes — it was heavier than initially planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Roots are dialed • Feed is stable • Plants are healthy Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. We also: • Found a few minor under-canopy light burns • Nothing serious • Removed affected leaves • Cleaned structure The girls responded immediately — posture, color, and turgor all stayed on point. ⸻ 🌸 Where we are now (Week 3 flower) • Clear flower initiation • Sites are stacking evenly • Stretch is slowing • Structure is set • Energy is shifting from leaf production → flower development This is exactly where we want to be. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next (and what not to) Expect: • Calyx stacking to accelerate • Stretch to finish over the next 7–10 days • Flowers to start defining their final architecture • Strong recovery response from defoliation Don’t expect: • Explosive bulk yet (that comes later) • Resin maturity at this stage • Any need for drastic changes From here on: • Stability • Observation • Small, intentional adjustments only if the plants ask ⸻ 🙏 Final words Thank you to everybody: • Lovers ❤️ • Haters 😉 • New followers • OGs • The GD platform • The GD community • The ones who ask questions • And the silent ones who just watch and learn Everyone is welcome here. This week was defoliation week, and the girls told us clearly what they needed — so we listened. Plants are looking outstanding, and this Amnesia Skunk run is right where it should be.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

happy out again this week at the shape of things. Sweet Sweeds dominant tent was down overall because of a F up on light regime. pins out of place lol. ok so all fixed. taking their topping and training like champs. merry christmas everyone. a lot of foliar spray to help the recovery. silicate a bit, algae mix.

Here we are, last week of feeding! She has been showing the first ambers begining of the week so I don't want to wait too long before harvest. Week 11 will be flush week. I really love this pheno; how it looks, smells and I hope tastes! The buds have nicely grown in size this last two week and trimming should be quite easy on this one! 😘 I realize I did't take global pics this week so next week before harvest I'll make plenty of them. But, I made a video attempt trying to film in macro and I already feel sorry for those of you that will get sick watching it... 😨 With this level of zoom it is so difficult to have a smooth travelling and no shaking, especially when you have to manually live focus. I will improve my skills for the harvest video!

*** CURRENTLY DRYING *** Dry Date Start: 3-15-21 Trimmed: 3-23-21 Total Dry Weight: 112 grams.

so week 11.. The gorillaz are carrying on beautifully, however I realised having 5 plants sharing one reservoir is now quite a bad idea.. 2/5 of them look to be well into flower, fattening up and some tri's starting to turn cloudy but look like theres still plenty of fattening up to do. The other 3 are now just beginning to fully pistil up so will still be requiring flowering nutes when I should be beginning a flush on the other 2.. any comment or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!? The Stardawgs have basically grown into tennis balls. Such a vast majority of bud sites all the way down look so much larger than I could ever have hoped and i've had to tie some of the buds to the main colas!! I will Be starting the flush this week as most Tri's are now cloudy i'd say around 4/5 currently but more throrugh macros will be taken as the days progress. The only problem i've had is some of the sugar leaves on 2 of the plants have really taken a beating and show some strange signs. I think the LED's aren't to be under estimated and i've battled some burning and what seems to be calmag issues through the grow.

Veg15, han crecido como 2 centímetros desde el transplante, aún no necesitan riego, desde ahora regaré cada 3~4 días, cuando el sustrato este un 80~90% seco, han estirado un poco desde que subí la distancia del LED y bajé su intensidad, mañana haré Main Lining. Veg16, hoy se torturaron las plantas con Main Lining, se cortó arriba del segundo nodo y se cortaron también las hojas de un dedo bajo el primer nodo, las plantas que tenían suficiente crecimiento de les hizo LST también, cuando se apague la luz se efectuará un spray foliar con B-52, y mañana un nuevo riego. Veg17, riego con 5.5 pH y EC 1.8~1.9, se regaron con 1.5 litros y no se obtuvo drenaje, próximo riego tendrá que ser con más cantidad de agua para obtener drenaje, el agua se calentó a 23 grados y se oxigenó antes de regar, mañana se ajustará el LST ya que siguen creciendo muy bien. Veg18, hoy solo se ajusto el LST, siguen creciendo bien. Veg19, ajuste de LST, nada más que anotar. Veg20, siguen creciendo, talvez hay que ajustar la cantidad de luz DLI. Veg21, tuve que poner una estufa para aumentar la temperatura en el indoor y bajar la intensidad del LED a un 50% para alcanzar un DLI óptimo. Hoy haré ajuste de LST y revisar la humedad del sustrato.

She’s the biggest out of all plants! She started a day earlier than the other fastbud plants but is growing twice as fast too! Seriously a beast! 💯 looking forward to seeing what she blooms like!

Gelato - Semana 7 1 Optimización de la Maduración y Corrección del Balance ( N-K) Durante el inicio de esta fase, se identificó un ligero espigamiento o foxtailing (cola de zorro) en las inflorescencias apicales. Etiología: Este fenómeno se atribuyó a una persistencia elevada de Nitrógeno (155 ppm) durante la semana 6. El exceso de en etapas avanzadas de floración puede reactivar procesos vegetativos en el ápice de la flor, promoviendo la formación de nuevas hojas de azúcar y estructuras espigadas que comprometen la densidad. Acción Correctiva:Se recalibró la solución nutritiva reduciendo el aporte de Nitrógeno a 90 ppm. Resultado: Esta restricción nitrogenada detuvo el crecimiento apical desordenado y forzó a la planta a entrar en una senescencia controlada. Al limitar el , se redirigen los carbohidratos de la síntesis de nuevas proteínas estructurales hacia la ruta de los metabolitos secundarios, mejorando significativamente la compactación de los cálices y la deposición de resina. 2. Ajuste del Balance Cationico y Presión Osmótica Se realizó una intervención crítica en la concentración de Potasio (K) para proteger la integridad del transporte de nutrientes en la zona radicular: Reducción de : El aporte se ajustó de 220 ppm a 195 ppm. Fundamento Técnico: Niveles de Potasio superiores a 200 ppm en esta fase aumentan drásticamente la presión osmótica en la rizósfera. Esto genera un antagonismo competitivo, donde el exceso de cationes de bloquea los sitios de absorción de Calcio y Magnesio . Consecuencia: Al bajar a 195 ppm, se redujo la interferencia iónica, permitiendo que el Calcio mantenga la estabilidad de las paredes celulares en los cálices maduros y el Magnesio continúe soportando la transferencia de energía (ATP) sin provocar bloqueos radiculares por saturación de sales. 3. Suplementación Final de Vitaminas del Grupo B En concordancia con el protocolo de maduración, se aplicó la penúltima dosis de Tiamina (B1), Piridoxina (B6) y Cobalamina (B12) (100mg / 5mg / 50mcg respectivamente) diluida por cada 10 litros de agua. Mecanismo: Estos activos actúan como agentes de mitigación de estrés abiótico. Dado que la planta está operando bajo una alta demanda metabólica y una solución nutritiva de alta precisión, el complejo B facilita el metabolismo de los carbohidratos y refuerza el sistema inmunitario radicular ante la fluctuación de la presión osmótica. 4. Estado de los Tricomas y Senescencia La reducción de macronutrientes ha acelerado la maduración bioquímica visible en las flores: Tricomas: La relación actual es de un 75% lechosos y un 15% ámbar, con una disminución notable de tricomas hialinos (transparentes). Arquitectura: La flor ha dejado de estirarse, logrando un cierre de corona mucho más denso. La coloración de las hojas de azúcar muestra un inicio de degradación de clorofila (fading), señal de que la planta está movilizando sus reservas móviles hacia la floración final. 5. Parámetros de Control Climático (VPD) Se mantiene un VPD de 1.4 kPapara asegurar que, a pesar de la reducción de Potasio, el flujo transpiratorio sea suficiente para movilizar el Calcio hacia las zonas de mayor densidad floral, previniendo necrosis interna en los cogollos más compactos.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well! Keep those eyes peeled for next week! Cheers😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

I start by saying that the genetics of this fantastic and super plant, the only exemplary because I was given after ordering, the first time I cultivated this variety .. I never had any problem from germination at the end of harvest, made grow for 6 weeks approximately with light hours 18/6, then kept in bloom for 10 weeks ...... and from about 10 days to dry with temperatures between 19/20 degrees, and humidity rate to 50% between today and tomorrow I'll make a nice manicure.

Week two wrap-up Key Milestones for Week 2: · Day 8: Fan fell and broke a large branch off Plant 2. · Day 9: Bound the branches to the pot covers to spread the canopy. · Day 10: Severe pH crash (4.9/5.2) — corrected with pH Up. · Day 11: PPM spiked into the 700s — corrected with RO water dilution. · Day 12: Bud sites became visible. Internodal spacing is tight. · Day 13: Heavy nutrient consumption established. PPM stabilized between 570–612. · Day 14: Roots measured at 90 cm (P2) and 1.5 meters (P1). Hydroguard still in transit. --- Reflections from BAM (Bryan) Thoughts on the last 7 days: I've done this nine or ten times before, but never with this level of precision. This week was a trial by fire—broke a branch, fought a pH crash, and had to skim Big Bud off the top of the bubbler. And yet, I've never seen my roots look this good. I'm learning the hard way that shortcuts don't work, but the right way works every time. Quote from BAM: "Turns out, you can't cheat the chemistry. But when you get the mixing right, the plants don't just survive—they thrive. I'm seeing things I've never seen before." --- Apex's Take You didn't just survive Week 2. You learned how to bend when a branch broke, how to stabilize when pH crashed, and how to mix when the old ways failed you. The roots are longer, the buds are forming, and the data is cleaner than it's ever been. We are entering the bud swell phase with a stable foundation and a clear path forward. "You can't always prevent the fan from falling, but you can always control how you recover. Week 2 taught you resilience. Week 3 will show you the reward." — Apex

🌿 Woche 6 – Keine besonders gute Woche 👺 🌱 Wachstum & Training Zweite Blütewoche – und zack! Gleich zwei vielversprechende Triebe sind ausgefallen. 😭 💀 Den einen habe ich aus Versehen mit der Hand umgerissen (siehe Video). 👉 Der andere – und das ärgert mich noch viel mehr – war der Haupttrieb der dominanteren Guava. Beim täglichen LST ist er mir abgebrochen. 😰 🔻 Schätzung: Bis zu 10 g Ertragsverlust. 📊 Prognose Das Blätterdach hat nun zwei sichtbare Macken, aber der Rest entwickelt sich weiterhin solide. Vor den Verlusten lag meine Schätzung bei ~100 g Ertrag. Jetzt wird es schwer, die 100 g noch zu knacken. 😕 💧 Blumat 💧 Grade als ich anfing mich an den Blumat richtig zu gewöhnen, fängt er zu spinnen an. Er fing auf einmal an, viel zu trockene Werde zu liefern. Ganz merkwürdig. 😣 Und ich habe eine Woche lang jeden Workaround gemacht den man machen kann. Da war ich doch sehr Endtäuscht... Jetzt muss ich wieder mit dem Finger rein. 💩 💡 Licht & Schatten PPFD wird langsam, Step by Step erhöht. 📈 Aktuell ca. 600 µmol/m²/s. Je höher die Triebe wachsen, desto mehr Licht bekommen sie ohnehin. ☀️ ☀️ Wetter Die Temperaturen sind und bleiben brutal: 25–31 °C Die Lady´s schlagen sich tapfer unter diesen Bedingungen. 💧 Gießen 🕒 Alle 2–3 Tage 🚿 Jeweils 2,2 l Wasser 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱

Que pasa familia, empezamos la primera semana de floración de estas Original de GrowBarato. Y es que no veáis de un momento a otro se quedaron sin espacio, vaya estirón esta última semana. Están bastante sanas , tienen muy buen color, se practicó una limpia de bajos y ramas que no eran necesarias porque no llegaran a la luz. Hasta ahora todo bien y ya superamos esta primera semana. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.
