The 3th week of 12/12 is history and flowering has entered the grow room. 😋 I marked day 53 (day 17 of 12/12) as the first day of actual flowering. Everyday I've checked if there were fungus gnats trapped on the yellow sticky traps and I've spotted a few. So not a total infestation. I've also checked for signs of hermies and I haven't seen any. I've had one a few years ago and it pretty much ruined the whole grow. Seeds everywhere. But that was another breeder and strain. Under the screen I did some final pruning and above a minor defoilation. The Runtz are stretching nicely and the screen is filled pretty much like I wanted it to. Gonna leave them alone now, done with bending those shoots under the screen. This weeks temperatures stayed between 20,6°C (69°F) and 24,2 °C (75,5°F) and humidity levels between 44 – 56 % Light pressure was raised from 244 watt at 70cm (27 inch) to 260 watt at 63cm (25 inch). Their diet consisted of ph adjusted tapwater (ph 6,38 – ec 0,49) most of the week. They were barely fed for 1 day. Gonna keep it that way as long as I don't see any signals of shortages or surpluses. Naturally, ec leves will rise next week but one day of feeding seems enough for now. Smell is coming in slightly, but the CAN-lite carbon filter is doing it's job. There's a 600m³ one hanging in the grow room connected to a 550m³ Airfan foam softbox that's dimmed at 40% since the start of this grow. That was the most important info for this week. Up to next week's flowers!✋ Do you want to grow this strain? 👉 https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html 👈

PABLO ESCOBAR / DIVINE SEEDS WEEK #8 OVERALL WEEK #7 VEG This week was a another good week overall she growing at a good rate I've been topping her and using the bud clips for LST training. Stay Growing!! Thank you stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you DIVINE SEEDS!! BUDTRAINER.COM BUD CLIPS PABLO ESCOBAR / DIVINE SEEDS

I did some tricome checks today and she is almost ready for harvest. Looks like 3 days maximum before I harvest her. She is stinking up the neighborhood and is sticky AF wow. Was a really easy grow. Did not expect her to go full on flower on me but I had to make the best of it. Bud development is good but the size that I was craving is about at 65%. Can't wait to test this!

Welcome to my Lemon Orange Diary sponsored by Green House Seeds. Day 57-64 Week 9 She grew very well. Really healthy through pre flower & very happy to be high stressed. Kept up with Atami Bloom Stim until mid wk 9. And then I started pushing PK booster from plagron and made sure silica boost was given for the stress. Which helped the nodes not break as I HST'ed after pre flower, so there was no growth in the nodes to spring them back up. So the stems walls needed to be strong. And they were. Some naturally did rise towards the light. But not enough to point to rapid but stiffness back into the nodes upward growth, so it's important to have strong membrane walls. After pre fower was over, I cleaned her up also. Took 70% of everything, (defoliation that was done over 3 days.)The other 30% was removed during ripening as it had loads of (hat leafs) leafs surrounding the tops of the main buds blocking light to buds below. Plant has moved great through pre flowering. Very uneven nodes. And where the rest of where my plants where I needed this smaller. So early into week 9 I lollipopped were I knew the HST bend be everywhere below it was stripped. 90% of the nodes where HST'ed. Maintenance Summary 1:Start of wk 9.i lollipopped her, Everything below the planned HST points was removed 2:Defoliations were done in 3 stages. Removing big fan leafs once pre fower was over..I left more than I normally would as HST was in the same wk so I didn't wanna stress too much 3: HST'ed was applied and to make sure she kept a level canopy her nodes were tied down. 4: made sure the soil didn't dry up and was given silica to protect the nodes main membrane as the nodes would be moving for a wk r 2 until it stiffened during fattening. Thanks to my sponsor from Green House Seeds for this amazing strain. Looking forward to seen what other gems I get from my other GHS strains for this crop. Sorry for delays in diaries. I'm trying to catch up. All sponsored diaries are my priority. Thank you for your patience (sponsors)

Weiter Daumen drücken hoffentlich wirds kein Müsli. Pheno 2 zeigt Anzeichen von Kaliummangel (gelbe Spitzen an den Blatträndern) dem wird mit 1ml/ Canna mono Kalium und 1ml/l Plagron pk13/14 entgegen gewirkt. ph wert und Leitwert im Drain passen. Pheno 1 bekommt vorbeugend 1x die gleiche Mischung. Interessant wie unterschiedlich neben dem äußerlichen Erscheinungsbild auch der Nährstoffbedarf der Beiden ist. Am letzten Tag der Woche 6 wurden die Pflanzen etwas entlaubt. Im Laufe der nächsten Woche wird das Blätterdach weiter geöffnet.

Was such a pleasant harvest from start to finish, no issues at all. A tip for next time would be to have the SCRoG lower as I couldn’t really tuck any node sights this time round, smells absofuckinglutely amazing from 3RD week bloom onwards!

Sour Diesel — The Ascension of a Legend 🙂 Week 13 | Flowering | The quiet final stretch Sour Diesel was never the easiest girl in the room. From the beginning, she was the one that lagged behind. Smaller, tighter, less vigorous, less willing to stretch into the room the way the others did. She never had the same natural momentum, never claimed the same canopy space, and for most of the run, she looked like the plant that simply got outpaced. But this is exactly why this week matters. Because despite a slower start, despite a more compact frame, despite being the smallest girl in the room, she never stopped building. She just did it differently. And now, near the end, she is showing exactly what resilience looks like in flower: a compact, dense, intensely stacked Sour Diesel with real weight, proper frost, and far more character than her size first suggested. She may not be the tallest plant in the room. She may not be the widest plant in the room. But she earned every gram she is carrying. And that deserves its moment. Small frame, full intention Sour Diesel never became a large plant structurally. She stayed shorter, tighter, and more compact from the start, which naturally put her at a disadvantage in a room where the rest of the canopy climbed higher and intercepted more direct top light. In a standard top-down setup, that usually means one thing: the lower half underperforms. Less penetration. Less useful PPFD below the crown. Less productive lower flower development. But this is exactly where the layered lighting approach changed the outcome. Because while her top canopy remained below the rest of the room, she was never truly left in the shade. The inner canopy bars and under-canopy support kept usable photons moving through the lower structure, which meant the lower sites still received enough energy to remain productive. Not equal to the top, of course—but productive enough to continue building instead of stalling. And on a smaller plant like this, that matters even more. She did not need extreme stretch. She needed access. And access changed everything. That is why this plant still developed visible lower flower mass, proper side stacking, and much better density through the mid and lower zones than a compact plant like this would usually produce under top light alone. She stayed small. But she never stopped producing. Why we are now running only water + enzymes At this stage, the job is no longer to push growth. The structure is built. The flowers are formed. The plant has already done the heavy lifting. Now the goal is not to feed harder. The goal is to finish cleaner. From here forward, Sour Diesel is running on plain water and enzymes only. That means no more base nutrients, no more bloom push, no more unnecessary inputs—just hydration, biology, and a clean finish. And at this point in flower, that makes sense for several reasons. 1. The plant no longer needs to be pushed Late flower is not the time to force new production. The plant is no longer trying to build a new framework. It is finishing, ripening, and reallocating what it already holds. At this stage, overfeeding usually does not create better flowers. It more often creates excess residue, unnecessary salt accumulation, and a dirtier finish. The bulk is already there. Now we let the plant finish what it started. 2. Enzymes help clean the root zone This is where enzymes earn their place. At the end of the cycle, enzymes help break down leftover organic material, dead root matter, and residual waste in the medium. That helps keep the rhizosphere active, reduces unnecessary buildup, and keeps the root zone cleaner during the final stretch. The goal here is not “feeding” in the classic sense. It is maintenance. Cleanup. Biological support. We are not trying to push more into the pot. We are trying to help the system finish clean. 3. We reuse this soil This matters. Because this medium is not being treated like disposable substrate. It will be reused, and what is left in it matters. By finishing lighter and keeping enzymes in play, we are not just thinking about this harvest—we are also thinking about the biological life left behind in the soil after harvest, and how that soil transitions into its next job outdoors. Instead of ending with a heavily loaded, overly salted medium, we finish cleaner, keep the biology more intact, and make that transition back into living use much easier. That matters now. And it matters later. Why the light is also being reduced now This is another late-flower adjustment that often gets overlooked. At this stage, they do not need the same intensity they needed during peak production. Earlier in flower, stronger PPFD made sense because the plant was actively building mass, driving expansion, and converting light into structural output. Now the job is different. Now we are finishing ripeness, not chasing stretch or bulk. So light intensity is being reduced accordingly. Not because the plant is “done” —but because she no longer needs to be pushed like she is still in peak construction mode. Softer finishing light helps reduce unnecessary stress in late flower, lowers excess demand, and better matches what the plant is actually doing now: ripening, maturing, and closing. Less push. More finish. What to watch now: trichomes, calyx, pistils, fade This is the week where patience matters more than feeding. Not every sign of maturity happens at once, and not every visible change means harvest is immediate. This is where people rush. Do not harvest because one sign changed. Harvest when the plant begins aligning across multiple signals. That is what matters now. Trichomes Trichomes are still the clearest indicator of maturity, but they need to be read correctly. What we are watching now is the shift from clear → cloudy, followed by the first meaningful amber development. * Clear = still immature * Cloudy / milky = peak cannabinoid maturity * Amber = oxidation / deeper ripening The goal is not “amber everywhere.” The goal is a mature field. We want the majority developed, mostly cloudy, with the first real amber appearing in context—not isolated, not on sugar leaves, and not misread from damaged tissue. Sugar leaf trichomes mature faster and are not the best harvest reference. Watch the calyx heads. That is where the real read is. Calyx swell This is one of the most overlooked end-of-flower signs. The calyx is what we want to watch now. As the plant finishes, the calyxes swell, stack tighter, and begin to look fuller, rounder, and more pressurized. That final inflation is one of the clearest visual signs that the flower is actually finishing. This is where the “weight” often really appears. Not because the plant suddenly grows more structure, but because the flower tightens and finishes filling itself in. Pistils / white hairs White hairs are useful, but only in context. Fresh white pistils still mean the plant is actively expressing new growth. Darkening pistils suggest progression. Receding pistils suggest maturity. But pistils alone are not a harvest signal. Some plants throw fresh hairs late. Some oxidize early. Some mislead entirely. Watch them—but do not trust them alone. Leaf fade Late flower fade is expected now. As the plant winds down, it naturally begins reallocating internal resources, and leaf color starts to shift with it. Greens soften. Some leaves pale. Some yellow. Some lose intensity. Some anthocyanin expression may begin to show depending on environment and genetics. This is normal. Late flower should look like a plant reaching completion, not like a plant still trying to look vegetative. The goal now is not perfect green. The goal is proper finish. What to expect next week Expect ripening. Expect more calyx swelling. Expect more pistils to darken and recede. Expect more visible fade. Expect aroma to deepen. Expect the plant to look less “fresh” and more finished. That is what you want. Do not expect explosive new growth. Do not expect dramatic stretch. Do not expect massive visual change overnight. The final week is rarely about expansion. It is about refinement. Less building. More finishing. And Sour Diesel is finally entering that part beautifully. Thank you for being here And before she closes, thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To Grow Diaries for the platform. To everyone following since day one. To the old heads who have been here for years. To the new faces who just arrived. To the growers watching quietly. To the ones learning. To the ones sharing. To the ones supporting. To the ones questioning. To the lovers. To the critics. To the long-time supporters. To the silent observers. Thank you for being here. For watching the process. For following the work. For caring enough to pay attention. Sour Diesel may have been the smallest girl in the room— but she still made sure she would be remembered. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Hi guys i am wondering with this fastbuds strain.West coast og will yield much and its dense and potent.next week i will start to flush with advanced nutrition flawless finish. Thank you all.

So This week was the same as the last really, It seems all I have to do is sit back and watch these ladies do their thing! Ive not gone full on with the bloom supplements or PK yet as only 2/5 of the GG are seriously flowering. The other 3/5 GG are now Finally showing some signs of flower and some tops are starting to build and lowers producing more pistils each day! The Stardawgs continue to explode, even some friends who were sceptical about the performance of the Quantum board LED's have been flow away by the results. All of the buds seem to be building dramatically top to bottom which no shortage of frost! Macro shots on the way!!

Growth stun abit in #1 due to snap in the stem but still manage to grow half inch. n push new growth........#2 main growth stun but directed to lower branches n still grow about 2 inch......#3 double it growth with 4.5 inch. didn't need lst was showing good growth in lower branches from early

looking great! buds start getting dense 💪 smell is really nice

11/5 -- They now have 2 weeks of 12/12 under their belts and it's truly been a tale of 3 plants for the past week and a half. GZ2- This one has the opportunity to meet its full potential. It has stretched to give me this beautiful canopy and very few signs of over feed or stress in it. Hopefully she stays this way. Moby- look like it may have been developing some deficiencies. I fed it a few days ago and it seemed to respond well. Some leaves have gotten yellow but the plant is do thick and dense I'm not worried about a few falling off. All in all, it's been steady eddy for Moby Dick that I now believe is also a Barney's Farm Freebie(the seed is now listed where I buy mine from) I'm not going to change it but if you're keeping track, this is most likely a tent full of Barney's Farm. Gz1- and now the music gets a little more serious. I really started recognizing problems with her right at flip. She has lost a lot of fan leaves due to yellowing,, dark stems and I can tell her branching has suffered because of it. Growth at the bottom looks weak and even wrinkled in some spots. She has burn spots and signs of deficiency galore. But also VERY dark fan leaves. I've just come to the conclusion that flushing was probably my best move. She can still have a week of solid growing. If I can get it corrected now, this plant will still be respectable but the trend is disturbing and alarming to someone who knows how fast they can decline. So in conclusion, things are getting a little hairy. Flowering always brings on a new set of challenges and I'm still learning every single time. Wish me luck this week, I'll need it. 11/6 Updated pic on old friend banana daddy that they shared the veg tent with.

This week it seems like they are starting to flower or getting ready to. Day 42 and they are smelling great. I’m super excited to see the difference in plant A and plant B. The runt seems to be bouncing back. After I did some LST it really started to take off.

Perfect growing conditions the past week , using heat mat in off cycle to maintain nice warm nights . Started foliar spray today . I did notice some perlite turning green obviously because I’m keeping it too moist , I’m repotting in a week so hopefully it’s only a minor issue .

📆 Semana 8: La Auto Pablo Escobar está en su punto álgido de floración. Los cogollos se muestran densos y pesados, cubiertos de una capa de resina que brilla a la luz. El aroma es profundo y penetrante, con matices dulces, terrosos y cítricos muy marcados. Algunas ramas pueden necesitar soporte por el peso. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Day 43. All is good, heavy training session, trimmed sometimes almost half of the plant. It will be 16 girls with different needs and heights, watering, cycle time ... Huge pain, but as it is my LAST of ALL LAST grow, so I just want to get few ounces max from each and do it fast ! Girls last week spent on BioHeaven, Silica and CalMag spray, so leaf colour went a lot better, maybe at the end of week I will feed them heavily. Today and next watering - just 6.3 water. I took last NL away and now humidity and lightning are a lot better. Will drop lights down in few days, but not a lot ... 16 girls again in one room ;)))) I changed names of diaries, because I will try to finish them indoors ... @MarsHydro @Susie420 @eleen , the first light that you gave me is moving to other city and I won't document results under her from now on. She served well for my friend, did magic at mines and I honestly would recommend her to any single plant grower ! Great stuff, it was privilege to test her for almost two years. Now she will serve for one more new grower ! Not the best retirement photo , but still ;)))) Happy Growing !!!

Still waiting on tricomes to Aber abit and I see some foxtails developing all over the buds putting on lots of weight stems bending all over even lower branches are hanging

Welcome to GhostGrow Chapter One by PoshGrow! 🌳 Week #5 2nd week of flowering. Last week LST went as planned, strains recovered fast, so this week I gonna rearange LST and apply home made Scrog net, also I will remove all big fan leaves for better light penetration. Watering when needed, every other watering I used Fox Farm Big Bloom, Grow Big & Tiger Bloom. I wont be moving plants around, they will keep their positioning till the end of the grow, so in further pictures I wont put tags with strain names😉✌️
