Week 15 From Seed — Sour Diesel | Part 2 — Cure, Smoke Review & Final Thoughts 🌱 Before starting this final chapter, a quick recap for everyone arriving here for the first time. This entire run was done 12/12 from seed inside a room shared with multiple genetics, different personalities and different expressions. Some girls loved the environment from day one. Others needed more patience, more adaptation and more understanding. And our Sour Diesel… she definitely had her difficult moments. She never fully enjoyed the room conditions the same way some of the others did. While the rest exploded with vigor and stacked aggressively, this girl stayed smaller, more sensitive and a little more demanding. In another environment, another setup or another run focused only on her, maybe she would have shown a completely different side. But that is also part of growing. Not every plant becomes the biggest one in the room. Not every run is about chasing records or numbers. Sometimes the lesson is patience. Sometimes the lesson is resilience. Sometimes the lesson is simply learning when to support instead of giving up. And honestly… I am very glad I kept her alive and trusted the process. From seed until harvest, she received the exact same love as every other plant in the room. Minimal training, only some gentle leaf bending here and there, plants growing naturally into the PPFD provided by the LEDs. Organic and mineral nutrition working together through the Plagron line. Slow development, careful observation and a lot of patience. After harvest, she dried for around 10 days at roughly 18–20°C and 60% humidity before trimming day arrived. Branches were broken down slowly by hand, gloves on, trimming bin on the table and the curved Zamnesia scissors once again becoming absolute heroes during cleanup. Even with a smaller harvest, she still covered the gloves with sticky resin and rewarded us with beautiful finger hash and a nice little collection from the trim bin screen. In total, she delivered 54.2 grams. And honestly? Considering everything she went through… I am genuinely happy with that result. Not every victory is measured only in weight. Sometimes a successful harvest is simply reaching the finish line. After trimming, she went into the Zamnesia vacuum containers for cure alongside some glass jars for comparison. Humidity stayed stable and now, after roughly one and a half to two months of curing, this little jar became one of those “special occasion” jars. The type you do not open every day. The type you revisit slowly. The type you respect because there is not much of it left. And now for the important part… The smoke. This girl is beautiful. Very old-school feeling medicine. Strong diesel and skunky notes immediately hit on the inhale with that nostalgic classic Sour profile many growers still chase today. Sharp, dirty, fuel-like terpenes mixed with that earthy-skunky background that instantly brings memories from older genetics and older sessions. The smoke itself is smooth but expressive. Not aggressive on the throat, but very loud in flavor. And the effect? Completely cerebral. Uplifting, active, creative and socially pleasant while still carrying enough depth to relax the body without knocking it down. This is not couch-lock medicine. This is “sit outside during sunset and watch the world slow down a little” medicine. Perfect for daytime sessions, creative moments, long conversations, walks, music or simply reconnecting with your own thoughts. Very functional while still being powerful. And honestly… probably one of the most nostalgic smokes from this entire run. We also decided to press part of the harvest to see how she behaved as rosin. And yes… mistakes were made 😄 We pressed at around 90°C for roughly 180 seconds and ended up going slightly hotter than ideal. The result came out darker than expected, but still incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. The terpenes remained beautiful, the texture cured nicely and overall it became another great learning experience. That is also part of the journey. You learn. You adjust. You improve. And next press gets even better. One thing I also wanted to share in this final report are some of the macro focus stacks included in the gallery. We have one 99-frame stack, one 160-frame stack, one 222-frame stack and one 255-frame stack. These do not represent the harvest itself. They are artistic and educational macro projects created to showcase the trichomes, textures and structure hidden inside these flowers. Tiny worlds inside tiny worlds. A way to slow down and appreciate details our eyes normally miss. And honestly… this little Sour Diesel deserved that attention. Of course, Mr. Baggy stayed with us the whole way through the process as always. Despite being a blue fluffy assistant with questionable qualifications, his emotional support during trimming, curing and “quality control sessions” continues to be outstanding 😄 As we close this run, I want once again to thank everybody involved. Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the nutrients. FOG and Future of Grow for the lighting. GrowDiaries for the platform and the community. The OG followers. The new followers. The silent watchers. The supporters. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The growers. The learners. The teachers. Everybody who stopped by and became part of this journey in one way or another. This run may be finished… But the next adventure is already growing somewhere nearby 🌱

Se nos fue un poco de altura pero intentaremos arreglar el error farmers... al final quedo simplemente en podas apicales y de momento ramas muy finas. Iremos comentando el proceso Farmers!🍁

Hello growers day 83 the buds are in the jar what can I say it’s been a joy growing the Zkittlez a nice little producer didn’t give me no jip through out the grow and my o my she has given some fat dank buds nice and crystaly I also made some bho wax check out the pics it’s 🔥 so so happy with the hole turnout I gave her water from my tap for the first ten days then gave her bio grow/bloom until I see her first pistols then gave them bio grow/bloom/top max/bio heaven up to day 61 then flushed her until day 75 then gave her the chop they had a 20/4 light cycle from the start definitely recommend this strain look after her with a bit of feed and she will look after you I only used the dry trim for the Zkittlez to make the bho and the return was incredible could not believe how much wax I got just from trim until next time be safe and happy growing 👌🏻✌️

Stretch is fully finished and the plant has settled perfectly into the SCROG net. The canopy is even and well structured, with branches firmly positioned and no further vertical growth. Flower sites are developing nicely across the canopy and bud formation is clearly underway. Overall vigor remains strong, leaf posture is healthy, and color looks consistent with no visible deficiencies or stress. Training is now minimal — the SCROG structure is locked in, with only minor adjustments to maintain airflow and light penetration below the canopy. Feeding continues with the Athena Blended Line (Bloom A & B, Balance, CaMg, Cleanse), with PK supplementation active from Flower Week 3 onward to support bud development and early flower stacking. Everything looks stable and well managed as the plant moves deeper into the flowering phase.

One of the standout features of Auto Purple is its ability to change colors without requiring extra effort or investments from my side. Witnessing the gradual transformation of the plant added an extra layer of excitement to the cultivation process. The vibrant hues brought about by this strain created a visual spectacle that exceeded my expectations, and the joy derived from the resulting photographs is undeniable. Despite the visual triumphs, I couldn't escape the recurring issues that often accompany autoflowering strains. The yield, much like my experiences with other autos, fell considerably short of expectations. This common challenge posed by autoflowers prompts a reevaluation of expectations, acknowledging that their unique traits may require a different approach to achieve optimal results. In summary, Auto Purple by Pyramid Seeds offered a delightful visual experience with its natural color changes and fruity notes, marking a positive step into the realm of colorful strains. However, the persistent challenges in yield highlight the need for a nuanced approach to cultivation when dealing with autoflowering varieties.

3/12/25 Welcome to another week of this Grow that is in thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron! 🤙👊 3/15/25 they are now under a new evo3 which fits perfectly in this 2x3 When i was changing out the lights, i dropped the light and i smashed one of the plants R3 which is also the most developed plant at the moment. one of the branches didnt fully snap but i have it held up with a soft twist tie and the help of neighboring branch. The plants have been stretching quite a bit over the course of the last week

Day 12 of organic grow and all is well. Seemed to have dialed in the conditions and able to keep good air movement, CO2 levels, and consistent temperatures/humidity with the ThruWall Closet Fan (Model TW108 ), and the Holmes Twin Exhaust/Intake Fan (Model HAWF-2041). Humidity is maintained with a Lovoit 6L Ultrasonic Programmable Cool Mist Humidifier (Model# LV600HH). Added a SCROG screen (just a cargo net) and bought the Sample Pack of organic nutrients from Nectar for the Gods (just pay shipping and they will send you the sample nutrients - check out the website). People say their line of nutrients make the buds smell and taste like no other! I have always been an organic Earth Juice nutrient guy, so I am going to experiment with combining the two. Lights are on 24/0 and she has tight internodal spacing with good vertical growth. Room that closet is in is beginning to smell skunky at times, and like diesel at other times. Will begin light organic nutrients with next watering. If you made it this far, please check out my other autoflower grows. Day 13 - Watered today with very low strength nutrients added. - Zannabis7

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , the zkittlez did stay alot shorter and compact compared too the rest , but she has had the shame conditions than the rest , so she much just be a shorter pheno type i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady stayed very short and compact and didn't really stretch much at all and it by far the smallest plant of the bunch ,

Adding some PK 13/14 as its pushing out flowers well. No real issues, slightly yellow leaf tips on top of plant, I'm not overly concerned, I think I might have overdone the CalMag a little.

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind me. 💪 As I announced last week, this week I did my first defoliation. I removed all the leaves from the lower branches and thus allowed her better airflow since there are three plants in the box. It was getting a little crowded already. 😏 As can be seen in the pictures, the flowers are developing nicely and have started to take on a fruity scent. 😋 Watering is every third day, when each plant in the box receives approximately 2.5 liters of water. I started adding CalMg preventively, 1.5 ml / lit and continuing with BioBizz, I will add it by feeling. I will see how the plants will react to this. Here's what the week looked like: 23/10/2020 - Day 29. Watering. This time I only added CalMg without BioBizz. p.H I regulated to 6.4 and the temperature of the water I water with is always around 20 degrees. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 51% humidity. 24/10/2020 - Day 30. Defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I cleaned the leaves on the lower branches and allowed better airflow and easier watering. 👍 26/10/2020 - Day 32. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water with which I water all three plants. This time I added both CalMg and BioBizz. p.H. - 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 29/10/2020 - Day 35. Photographing and watering. I took photos for this week just in the box. I think I will only take photos on a black background for the last two weeks of flowering so as not to disturb them too much. I then watered the plants only with water with regulated p.H at 6.4. That's all for this week, so far everything is great and I hope it will continue that way. See you soon. 🙌

Gave it some water yesterday with some herculean harvest, clean fruits, terpinator and grozyme and kinda flushed it out just to try and prevent build up. It's starting to fatten up a little bit now. All the purples are Putang crosses or mandarin cookies R1V2 #2.

Amazing growth, great genes! She's growing next to a Larry og and the difference is amazing! No veg nutes, just water and root boost.

Very happy with the results so far. Diligently doing nothing lol

Se acerca el momento de la cosecha y comenzamos a hacer defoliación

I have changed nutrients to Advanced Nutrients. Plants are watered automaticly 2x a day. 0.5L each watering. Humidity is around 41%.

Buds von Pheno #1 (Tribute•D•Cut) mein absoluter Favorit wenns um die reinen Blüten geht haptik terps appeal 1a ! Folgen in kürze,in ein paar Tagen wenn sie ca 20 Tage curen konnte,werde ich ein paar meiner Favorit Buds von dem cut hochladen! Ich brauch viel mehr Platz Grow diaries um die schönsten hochzuladen 🤣🤣🤣

both have responded well to defoiliation. Blueberryz stopped stretching after having to tie top down, Was getting dangerously close to hps light. Starting get some scent to

Slowly heading into flowering had to put 2 bends on too colad just to keep the canopy firm and open up the side branches ,pulled out few of the bottom leaves 🍁 so to get better air flow ,so far so good ,lets see how she’ll perform into flowering now 💚

Plant is doing amazing! This is my first grow & I am so excited , I’m in the process of practicing LST , I am not the best but you learn as you go! Let me know what you all think! Please give me feed back and advice!

She's having fun and has passed the first heat wave without issues. I hope that her company will be a girl too, it's a cross between a femele Morroccan landrace and a Lebanese "black gold" pollen made by myself. Let's see
