📋 This Truffle gas #1 is a really good strain. She put up with some abuse to keep her as low as possible and coped well with the conditions I managed to get. After 2 weeks drying I put the buds into terplock bags, never used these bags before so I'm hoping everything works out. Stats for the GDG21 Truffle gas. Dry decent buds 94g Dry larfy buds 4g Lemonpaya Dry decent buds 62g Dry larfy buds 8g Trashed buds 21g Total decent buds=156g Total larf=12g Removed because of rot 21g Hash=7g Total=163g Light power=217.11 KW during the 115 days of the grow. 18hrs for 35 days=630hrs, 16hrs for 7 days=112, 12hrs for 70 days=840hrs. Total hours lights on=1582hrs Average watt per hour lights on=137w 1.18g/w

She bounced back well from the crap leds she's now under a mars hydro 600 watt and loving it transplanted her to a 3 gallon pot as this will be her home for the rest of her life . She's a little stretchy from the crap led. So I micro topped her the ocean Forrest soil burned her a bit but not enough to flush her

To get higher temperatures I placed the growbox near the radiator, dimmer still at 25%, boiled tap water also this week, this guaranteed me an ideal pp for the beginning, from now on I will use mountain water which will allow me to use less fertilizer.

10/28/2025 What a day! We have started the Bloom Nutrients, cleaned out the reservoir... To be honest, I don't know what people are talking about with dirty things. My whole bucket was super easy and fast to clean. Frankly it really wasn't dirty at all. Kinda like reusing a cup. Nothing wrong with it. Just had something else in it. Anyway, quick and easy. I used distilled water. 4 gallons per bucket. I think my TDS meter is broken. Either it's really that high or these plants love it, but the reading is 1020 ppm and the EC is at 2000. That's really high... I think. I have no idea. I've read that people couldn't get over 300 ppm without burning their plant. While I'm at 1020 ppm. Something is wrong here and I can't figure it out. I've watched them like a hawk for the last 5 hours. And they look super happy and healthy. Not a single sign of toxicity. Just follow the instructions. Lol. So why am I looking at numbers that should burn them? Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they can just handle it. No idea how, but these are tough plants. I'll update with any signs of stress. Anyway, moving on. Ahem... So I definitely need to do another clip traing on Papaya Cookies. Not really sure if Lemon Cherry Cookies needs it. I'll see tomorrow. Also, these 2 are finally showing real traits of what they are. Papaya Cookies is definitely sativa as the description says. Like seriously sativa. Thin leaves, skinny branches. At first I thought it was the stem issue, but then I realized that this is what it's supposed to look like. Skinny but strong. Anyway, she is starting to grow too tall in the middle, so I need to pull down some branches with those clips I got. Lemon Cherry Cookies is certainly showing her indica traits. Wide leaves, bushy stature. Thick strong branches. Beautiful green color. (Papaya Cookies leaves are much lighter.) Lighting: 27" away from the canopy. Power 90% 278 watts. 615 PPFD I might have to dim the light a little when they grow closer to it. Maybe. It all depends on how much higher I can get the light up. I think there's 8 inches of space between the light and the ceiling. I'll figure it out. The environment is still perfect. The humidifier and heater barely run. And if they do, it's like level 1 or 2 of power. Not much going on in there to change the environment. But I did get my new exhale 365 bag. It's supposed to take a few days to get going, so we'll see what it looks like in a few days. The CO2 level is around 900 ppm. I'd like it a bit higher, but it's ok. I don't think I'll record the environmental readings. They are generally all the same. And it's honestly getting a bit redundant. Especially when they are already recorded in the list thing. See you tomorrow. 10/29/2025 No picture day. I assure you they look wonderful. Both plants are starting to show buds. They should start stretching any day now. Each of them is 12". Very green, very healthy. I'll have to pull down 2 top branches on Lemon Cherry Cookies after lights on. Just 2. They are sticking up too high above the others. Also, it'll help fill in a hole in the center of the plant. Still looks pretty bushy. That's nice. Papaya Cookies looks awesome! Even after her little infection. Definitely stunted and I would have expected her to be taller than her counterpart. But she isn't. However. That's not stopping her from producing tons of bud sites. I may have to go with the scrog net after all. Unless she hardens up and can hold the buds. I don't think so. I'm gonna have to use the net as a support. Lighting: So I lowered the light to increase the DLI currently it's sitting at about 42.5 mol. The PPFD is around 630. Something like that. I'm going to double check when the light is at full power. I was going to increase the intensity to 100% but I decided I should wait a few days since I lowered the light. I'll get a measurement after the lights turn back on. Honestly, my goal is to have the light as high as it can go with max intensity. I'm not sure I can actually do that with this 300 watt light. I also have the CO2 exhale bag I can consider soon enough. If it works as they say, I can probably increase the DLI to 50 mol. We shall see. Environment: There's actually something to talk about. So I live in an apartment converted from a house. There's a total of 3 apartments. Someone, not me, cranked the heat this morning and the tent hit like 78°. I know it's not a lot, but still not within my precision mastered range. Lol. Hell, my AC isn't doing the job. The lowest it's been is 71° in the house. Back up to 72° but yah, in the house it was like 75°. Anyway, that's it for the day. I'll check in later with any changes. 10/31/2025 I'm sorry everyone. I've been super busy the last couple days and didn't have time to add to my plants adventure tale. So I noticed at light level 9, the plants were praying pretty hard. I thought to myself well then a bit missing light. So I turned up to max level 10. Watt output is 310 watts. I don't remember the DLI, but it's like 44 mol. Anyway, I checked on them about an hour later. They were still slightly praying, but that's good. It just means they needed a bit more light. I'll keep an eye out for light stress. Also, I think I figured out a thing. Cannabis grows trichomes when it is stressed out as a defense mechanism, no? As in a strong aroma coming off in the veg stage. Isn't that a sign of stress. In particular light stress? Obviously when flower hits, it will smell from the flowers. But as a vegging plant, it should smell like a leafy green plant and not strongly of trichomes. It's just a theory, but could be useful if I'm right. To summarize, veg stage should smell like a plant. Flowering should smell like weed. And as it's known. It builds trichomes to protect against light stress and a few others I can't think of at the moment. Wind burn too I think. More like environmental stresses. Something the plant would have to protect itself against. If you have an idea in regards to this theory, I would be glad to talk about it. Send a comment and we can maybe start a discussion. Anyway, I let the pH float yesterday. Today it was dangerously close to 6.5. I don't understand why it increases so much. It doesn't swing either. Just spikes. It's seriously annoying not knowing why. I will learn thos somehow. Back to 10/31/2025 Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃 So today I will be taking some of the training clips off. They are starting to get too small for the bigger branches. I'd like to take them all off now, but I have a lot of small branches that need to be woody and thick. But yah, all of those are coming off. I've also decided to see if the light at 90% will still cause major reaching. And if so, maybe I should let it be. They can stretch right into the light. Or I'll leave it at 100%. I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment on that no matter how old this diary is. The temp seems to be perfectly ok, but the humidy is starting to climb with the plants getting bigger. So it's dehumidifier time. I'm planning on buying the AC Infinity one that connects to the system. But I have as small one for now. Environmentally speaking, everything is going great! Not too much wind, decent air exchange and bouncy CO2. Not sure how to fix that. I was considering routing the end of the exhaust duct back into the tent. I think I will. When I get these vent port caps. They are light proof but also provide air exchange. So I was thinking of taking the duct. Sticking it in the top vent port and letting that air flow through. If it works, I should have plenty of CO2 in the tent, the temp should stay pretty constant as well as the humidity. Well, kinda. The dehumidifier would have to work double time, but the other accessories, like the heater and the humidifier won't need to run as much. And considering this AI is keeping my tent spot on, I'm guessing spot on to spot on would make a perfect mix. We shall see. I have to wait a week or so for the port covers, which sucks. Because this is the very beginning of flower and I would love for the CO2 levels to be in the 1200s. I think. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks absolutely wonderful. Lush broad leaves. She'll definitely need a trim at the end of the stretch. Speaking of stretching, she hasn't done much of it. Like an inch or so. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just being impatient. But I have had plants with the greatest care only get to like 18" tall. This Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like it might be one of those plants. Super bushy, but really short. Trimming after the stretch should open up some much needed air space. But as I said the leaves look great! No signs of any issues whatsoever. And the root ball! It's huge! I can't take pictures because I have to hold the lid up. Believe me, it's big. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good as well. She's actually taller than her counterpart. By a good inch or 2. But that is most likely because she's a sativa. Where Lemon Cherry Cookies is an indica. In that aspect everything is perfect. And! The stem isn't getting big big, but it's definitely expanding. Not like the other one, but still. She still definitely needs to be supported, but I expect good things. Maybe not big things, but good ones. Her root ball isn't all that big either. Kind of expected. However, I do have 1 more seed I think. Maybe I'll pop that after the next run. Hopefully I'll be in a bigger place with space for a 4x4 tent and my 3x3. That would be pretty bad ass. 3x3 for autos and vegging photoperiods. The 4x4 for the flowering phase. Autos stay in the 3x3. An endless supply of weed right there. That's all for the day. 11/01/2025 So I wake up this morning to a legit bush. Lemon Cherry Cookies seemed to go PUFF and blew up like a balloon. I'll definitely be taking out some leaves after her stretch. I think that's the best time to trim an autoflower. But only once. Small snippets, in my experience, are fine. But like just a few leaves here and there. Papaya Cookies is starting to stretch more. She's also starting to fill out now. I'm expecting a much larger plant in the coming week or so. She's still a very healthy plant. No idea how, but even her lower stalk is fattening up. She might be a little bit behind, but she's starting to become more active. Honestly, she should be taller and a bit larger than Lemon Cherry Cookies. The way the stalk looks on both of them, Papaya Cookies wins. Up top anyway. But the bottom is small, so less production I think. The environment is spot on still. I think I'll leave the light at level 9 for now. I might turn it up after the stretch. But for now, level 9 it is. The CO2 is pretty low in the tent. I forgot to tell you all. The new exhale 365 bag came in and is already in place. That was nearly a week ago. My bad. Anyway, it works, but then it stops. I might route the exhaust duct back into the tent above the canopy after I get the port vent caps. I think that'll work. This is good. Because winter is coming and it gets cold here. So I'll need as much heat as I can get. Well, not really, the heater I have is fantastic. But you get it. The heater also brings in a ton of air. Enough where it balloons the tent. I'm having trouble getting the pH to stay at 5.8. it jumps to 6.3 daily. So I guess I'll just keep fixing it. Lol. Anyway, that's all for today. I'll update with any changes. 11/02/2025 Well well well. Look who came out to play! Both ladies are doing quite well. Lemon Cherry Cookies is by far the winner of this run. But you never know. Papaya Cookies might shoot up but I'm pretty sure she won't get that big. Her root ball is kind small. At least compared to Lemon Cherry Cookies. Hers is huge. I can't take a picture because I have to hold the top and the roots. So big. Anyway, I had to top off both ladies today. They were about a half gallon low. I added a little bit more bloom to help prepare them for the next water change and then bloom goes up. And we add the p/k boost. So I figured exposing them to a very small extra dose would probably do good. Other than that and the huge root ball, nothing much else to report. The environment is perfect, as usual. I'll definitely be trimming after the stretch. They are getting really bushy. That's all for now. 10/03/2025 Good stuff happening today and possible bad stuff as well. Good things first. These 2 plants are getting nice and plump. Well Lemon Cherry Cookies is. Papaya Cookies has a few lower spots. Her canopy isn't very even at all. Thelmouter half just stopped growing. She's also showing signs of nutrient deficiency. She definitely has enough nutes. It's because of her smaller trunk. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of. I checked for bugs with my microscope. Nothin. Checked everywhere for signs of rot, root rot and anything else that could potentially be causing the yellow spots. They are burning through it looks like.

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

Never heard of weedseedsexpress before coming to grow diaries. Saw the contest as a great opportunity to try new seeds, and I was very surprised with the outcome. 100% germination rate, super strong plants, easy to grow, when it comes to pests and plagues, also performed well... even tho one was chopped because of becoming hermie, didn’t had any other issues with it. They like space to grow! And taking 2kg from 5 plants, to me, it’s an absolute record! I’ll definitely wanna try now more of @weedseedsexpress and recommend you guys to try them too. Weed has been drying now for 4 days, so, pretty soon I’ll be able to add the final weight!

Hello and welcome to my newest grow! Going to be doing a small pheno hunt for a keeper cut of purple marmalade by Solfire. Speaking of Solfire, want to shout these guys out. Just purchased from these guys the first time and the seeds I received look perfect. They also sent me 3 free seeds which I’m looking forward to growing next. Purple Marmalade is something special too me as I actually smoked this strain in Rochester New York around 2021, I would always pick up 3 new strains a week when I stayed here. For me and my girlfriend at the time it was one of our favorites we have ever had. Super spacey and melted away all stress. Going to be doing a proper hunt where I will keep the rooted seeds as parents and will be taking clones of these for the actual hunt. The clones will be planted in my newest 30 gallon no till bed where they will be flipped semi early to allow all 3 plants to fill the 2x3. The 30 gallon pot is the same soil I have been no tilling in a 15 gallon for the last year and a half. It had gotten compacted in the 15 so I dumped it out, reammended with 3.0, craft blend, and gnarly barley. Also added a gallon of perlite to help prevent compaction again. Poured it into the 30 and topped it off with about 8 gallons of fresh Elite Soil. My thought process is the plants will start off in the new top soil as the bottom cooks, so by the time the roots hit the older soil it is ready to go. I also took a soil sample of the old soil and sent it to my local university to see if the amendments I added will be enough or if I should top dress more early on. Today August 23rd I sprinkle a ton of white clover seeds on top of this pot so by the time I transplant the clones in two weeks I will have a cover crop I also planted the seeds today on August 23rd. I filled my small nursery pots with some new Elite Living soil. I soaked the soil heavily to ensure it was wet and tamped. Poked a small one inch hole into each pot. Sprinkled recharge into each hole, dropped the seeds in and covered lightly. I then transferred these to my small parent tent where they will hopefully pop and veg until I am able to take my clones for the main tent. Germination success is set to 0/3 until they start too pop. Really looking forward to this grow with you guys! God bless! Update Day 4, August 28th: Cover crop growing in well and first seed popped. Good looks for solfire, first time using them. My seeds planted directly in soil almost always consistently pop on day 5. Day early and healthy looking, no helmet head, and can already see true leaves coming in. Update Day 5, August 30th Number 2 sprouted Update Day 6, August 31st Transplanted both sprouted clones to large container

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! 💚

Another straightforward week. Increased pk 13/14 and they’re starting to fatten up nicely and smell good to. Bit annoying the left plant has a few branches that have stretched out as I’d of liked to have got the light down a bit closer to the ones below.

I am not happy with this strain, but I blame myself, I dried it to quick, allowed a lot of airflow in the dry closet when I should of kept the airflow as minimal as possible, slower you dry the bud, the better the result when it it comes to bud size, aesthetics, aroma, smoothness and when smoking it, the taste on your pallet will be fantastic. However I am hopeful when I bake this strain, I will be amazed 😇

Strawberry Trop Cherry - STRNG Seeds W9 01/04-10 These strawberry collection gals are growing steady during this early stretch. I gave water only last week to contain the stretch. I also turned the lights down to 80%. Other than Cadillac1 all the plants look the same so I tied ribbons to the pots as identifiers for pictures. Kitties lost interest in my leaves, now is play with the pipe cleaners. I’ll have to tighten them up as I found one on the grow room floor. Strawberry Cadillac -Purple Straw-Trop Cherry-Red Straw-Lectric Lemonade-Yellow. 01/05 Supercrop Last week I indicated I might supercrop Cadillac1 since she is so tall. Well, you will see pics during the process of bending the stem and taping the position. I pinched the stem in my fingertips and rolled it a bit, then bent the stem, (notice the outer casing is not broken) applied tape to the joint to keep the branch from completely bending over. Each side had at least 3 nodes. 1/06 the side nodes on the branches have turned up and made more tops. All gals show the beginning of white hairs identifying they are female. 1/9 Strawberry Cadillac #1 46” #2 37“ Strawberry Trop Cherry #1 24” #2 41” Straw-Lectric Lemonade #1 33” #2 35 Important dates 11/9 Germination 11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal, 12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves 12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves 12/16 Topped 4 tops on each plant except Cadillac1 (first topping) and put manuka honey on the cut. 12/24 Transplant to 5 gal 12/27 Defoliate all 12/28 Flip to 12/12 01/05 Supercrop Cadillac #1 at the joint where I topped her. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

She's officially shifting from stacking into ripening. This week she got another Build-A-Bloom feeding along with Recharge, and the flowers are swelling nicely. The fade is progressing, but the buds continue to frost up and pack on weight every day. Purple hues are getting deeper, the trichomes keep spreading, and she's looking like she's'll finish strong. Just keeping her happy and letting her do her thing from here.

it grows so fast. The lower leaves are shaded and away from the light. So I cut them as the plant gets taller I really don't have a good setup to be able to clean my roots. I tried this week anyway. I watered each pot with 2L (not enough I think :/) of water at 450PPM PH: 7 then after I gave 1L of water at 900PM PH: 5.5. There was a big puddle in the room afterwards. But it wasn't that hard to clean up after all. In 5 minutes with a rag and a bucket ------------------------------------------------ -Daytime temperature: 24-29°C -Night temperature: 22-27°C -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it...
