During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

04/26/2026 Readings before water swap. pH: 5.6 EC: 1450 cm TDS: 1050 ppm Temp: 71.3° So I'm going to start flushing today. She has a whole lotta nutrients left in those leaves and buds. So what I'm doing now is fill and drain. In my case pump and pump. I mix my nutes in a 5 gallon bucket. Then use another bucket to drain the DWC reservoir. Do it twice and then the last time with flawless finish. Again! Something happened to my yesterday entry. 04/28/2026 Readings: pH: 6.58 EC: 499 cm TDS: 351 ppm Temp: 66.7° Will be pHed today. It's too high. Anyway, she looks really odd with all of her branches just falling down. All around and the main top and some select branches are left standing up. She has issues everywhere from clawing to tacoing spots and burned tips or whatever else is wrong. So she's getting her week of flushing. I haven't noticed anything yet. But maybe it's because theight is too close to the top. Speaking of, does just the top getting too much light stress the whole plant out? Or is it just the top? I honestly hope my plant isn't waterlogged. I wonder what causes that. Because when I hung the plant up, the branch I was going to use legit sqweeshed on me. Like it was soaking wet. And when I take leaves off, the break pours out water. Never seen that before. Just a new thing. The environment looks really good Now it's working. 04/30/2026 Readings: pH: 6.7 EC: 521 cm TDS: 371 ppm Temp: 66.2° 05/01/2026 Well, I say she's done. I have her in the dark for the next couple of days, then I'll harvest. That'll give me enough time for the bucket to empty out and by the time it's ready, the bucket should be nearly dry. Actually, I wonder if that'll happen. I topped her off yesterday, so she should be fine for the next 3 days. I'm gonna check the water one last time before she's in the dark for 3 days. I dunno. I think she's ready now. I'll also get a trichome video to make sure. No top off just this one last trichome video and harvest will be in 3 days. Or sooner. I took a trichome video this morning. It's not very good. But you can see the abundance of cloudy and in some spots, amber. Other than that, I might pop off a few leaves today before her official dark period starts. It was supposed to be last night, but I forgot to set it. So it's off this morning, but I have some things I still need to do. Like snip off as many fan leaves as possible. No sugar leaves. And if there's a ton of trichomes on the offending leaf, I shall leave it. It's really dry out now, so I'll need to keep a lot of the leaves in tact so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Readings: pH: 6.16 EC: 605 cm TDS: 431 Temp: 69.6 I'm curious as to why both the EC and TDS have higher readings than yesterday. There's absolutely no nutrients, or shouldn't be in that bucket as I've added 2 flushes of Flawless Finish. And 1 top off of plain water. She needs about a half gallon now, but I'll let her take her own water down. I'm not sure how quickly it will be gone. She drinks about a half gallon a day. I think there's around 3.5 gallons left. Should be plenty of water left at harvest and not too much. I still haven't seen a single bit of color. I had to have done something wrong. Back to the EC and TDS. Both spiked about 100 points. That might be my pH pen. I doubt it though. Something environmental or most likely not a colorful one. Which I don't get. It started flushing 3 days ago. Shouldn't I be seeing something colorful by now? All I'm seeing is a very earthy plant. Well, more plant like smell. As for the water situation. I think I might have to pull the water out and pH it back to 5.8 but I'm inclined not to do such a useless task. Of course if it goes over too much, I'll have to step in and add more Flawless Finish. Because I don't think she is eating at all. Or there's a nutrient lockout. Again, that should t matter anymore. Another thing. I found more clawing leaves that were super dark. But how?! There's no nitrogen in this plant. No idea how it's showing signs of toxicity? I don't get it. Like at all. I don't understand why the EC and TDS are climbing when they should be like going down.

Still lookin happy, water only around 6.5 ph. I will start some LST next week 👍🏼 I will also give a 1/4 dose of advanced nutrients sensi cal mag next week because that's one issue I've ran into, usually nearing flower and I feel weekly small doses helps negate any issues. LED lights seem to increase the need for cal mag at least in my environment. The auxiliary shoots off the main are interesting! It's definitely going to be more of a bushy structure and fun to LST! ✌️🏼 ♥️

Beginning of week 3. Great development good healthy color.

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. Unfortunately, seed #3 hasn't germinated and seedling #2 seem to have a problem. Let's move on because it's just the beginning. 🌰 31/05

Really can't complain about this plant. Despite her nutrient lockout issue, she turned out perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the yield considering she was crammed in my tent with the other two plants. Definitely the most dense buds I've grown to date as well. Can't wait to grow again with more room and possibly a larger pot size 👌

She looks wonderfully beautiful and vert healthy,she just like her sisters has started flower on August 3rd let's see how she performs,I'm loving this strain Black cherry punch so far! 🔝💚

8. Woche Sie sind gut unterwegs und messen jetzt 60 cm.📏 Beide zicken jedoch etwas nach dem toppen rum und zeigen gelbe Spitzen bei den neuen Trieben... Hoffe aber das wird sich geben ...✌️ Nächste Woche wollte ich sie eigentlich in Blüte schicken 🙏

Servus Moin! Die Pink Poochie geht jetzt in die letzte Woche. Ich sehe immer mehr ähnlichkeiten zur Straw Limez. Vielleicht weil bei beiden das Pink Limez drin ist. Aufjedenfall hat sie schöne feste Buds bekommen und der Geruch gefällt mir mega!

So it has begun... I've had to start utilizing string to hold up branches by tying them to the ceiling rods and surrounding equipment. These plants are healthier and happier than my first grow, so I wasn't quite expecting them to blow up like they did, therefore my single-layer screen was not enough to support the branches. Not to mention the net used was store-bought and kind of sucks. I prefer my double-layer from the first harvest. The Mimosa is packing on some major frost, followed closely by the Glookies. American Pie trichomes seem to appear and ripen much closer to the ending stages of flower.

Finishing up week 9 flower. She's looking great! I have had a few small issues this week. Noticed she has a few crispy tips this week. I have been feeding pretty heavy and the drip system has been getting clogged up with the Big Bud coco. Not a great product to feed using a drip. So I'll be top feeding for the remainder. Her buds are ripening nicely. Thinking she's not going to end up with very large buds however she does have a lot of them so I'm super happy!!!

Overall was a pretty straight forward grow, had no issues through flowering until the last few weeks when she began to foxtail. This was either due to high temps or genetics, personally I think it was due to high temps and poor climate control on my end. Although she foxtailed the buds still feel rock solid and smell of dank candy with a hint of fuel. The bud to leaf ratio was high and there was very little to trim, I’m hoping for a minimum of 7 days to dry, il try push 10 days, but my environment for drying is not the best at the moment. Hope this diary has been helpful 🌱

Bestva Quantum Board 2000W Mr Hide Seeds Humedad super alta al 80% , ya es hora de ir encendiendo los deshumidificadores. Dos de las cuatro Kritical Red se han desarrollado más y tienen más altura. Se calibró el PH metro y me di cuenta que estaban mal las mediciones con las que se han estado regando. Se ven fuertes y sanas ! Buenos humos Yiyi's grow

Huge plants, very happy 🔥pre flower starts.

Decided to pop the rest of the seeds I have on hand . . 1. To weed out the duds if any, & 2. TO JUSTIFY ORDERING MORE SEEDS 😭🤕. Hey by the way , what’s your favorite discreet seed shop/breeder ? I need new genetics & websites. Comment your suggestions below 👇 would be a excellent way to help me out . All organic growing in case your interested .

The new light is doing great. Thy get bigger and bigger. I give them one more week. Already flushed them once with flawless finish. I adjusted the ph to 6.5. The fade is very nice on some of them. The smell is very hard to describe so I will wait until harvest with this.

3rd week has started well)
