A healthy green shade is returning, now that they're being fed! Each plant was watered/fed until full saturation + 20% runoff. Ready to be watered/fed when the soil becomes 95% dry (~3days).

Day 70 Well I think I will give them another week and harvest.Showing lots of trichomes that are mostly cloudy so I’ll let them go a bit longer.The tallest girl is at 40 inches and suffered some fox tailing I’m gonna say from when I pounded them with light for a week or so 😆.Even though she fox tailed and will not have the most dense buds she smells super strong and loaded with trichomes.Of the 5 Runtz the shortest has the chunkiest most dense buds.The other 3 were very big producers and took the LST great branching out forming tons of colas.Ill try to let them dry out this week and place in the dark for a day or so before chopping.Unfortunately in my area we have heavy rains all week humidity may become a problem so I will add a dehumidifier soon.

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊. Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Seemingly overnight, the A.K. plant overcame Sour Ripper in growth! Been a fun week as far as the plants go, havent needed to water them at all. Ill take a peak into the tent occasionally, witnessed the growth pick up exponentially this week. I noticed the pots are getting pretty light when i was taking these pictures. Will likely water them tomorrow. Notes for those interested: My last grow was RUINED from consistently overwatering and NEVER checking pH of feed water. Everything that could have went wrong as a result, did go wrong. Murphy's Law eh? Just trying to see to it that doesnt happen again. For those interested in the DWC girls, their growth has been nothing less than great 👍. It was less than two weeks ago that i went to the local hydro shop to pick up some hydroguard and damn! Is that shit good or what?! Root rot has been stripped away in almost ALL of my DWC girls, tons of white, happy root growth in their place. Ive decided that i will flip them all either halfway through this week or monday of next. Going to mother both A.K. and S.R. 2-3 weeks into flower transition. Again, great job @RipperSeeds and @Nirvana, really loving this stuff.

Hello Diary. At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome. 😍 More or less all the information is in the diary, there are really a lot of photos that speak more than words. What I would point out at the end of this story, the Hulkberries were different. One was more developed in width and that eventually had a higher yield as well. He reached a height of 105cm, while the other was more developed in height and grew to 117cm. But the Hulkberry is a great sativa strain, I didn’t have any problems throughout the cycle, I didn’t do any training I just did a little defoliation twice. 👌 The branches were dried for 12 days after which they were finished in jars for another three weeks. In the end I would like to thank the Royal Queen Seeds for making this wonderful strain, Grow Diaries where I can learn, and share something I really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or commend the diary. See you soon with new journey.

This plant was a breeze to grow, finished quickly, and yielded a decent amount of colorful, fruity and rock hard nugs. A crowd pleaser, this smoke goes down easy and hits hard. More indica leaning than sativa, use this flower before bed for a nice heavy sleep. Great bag appeal and taste. Excellent work by Fastbuds once again. Grow this plant with one topping early and LST as required to open the buds up to Jah. Thank you for following, thank you for liking. Thank you to the GrowDiaries team for continuing to deliver an awesome platform for us to document our work

📌 Disclaimer / Timeline clarification Before we begin, a quick note for transparency: Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me. It’s fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, I’ll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this week’s genetics shots and videos as intended. Thank you for the understanding — clarity and honesty always come first here 🙏 🌬️ Week 4 Veg — Sour Diesel Quick recap (how we got here) This Sour Diesel has moved through veg without interruptions or stress. From early establishment to now, the focus has been consistency: stable environment, balanced nutrition, and no unnecessary interventions. No setbacks. No corrections. Just steady development and strong genetic expression beginning to show. Anyone joining us now is seeing her at a point where the foundation is already built. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions & Environment Conditions remain identical and stable, exactly as intended for mid-vegetative growth: • Temperature: 25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: 60% • Airflow: constant and gentle • VPD: comfortably in range for veg This environment allows Sour Diesel to: • transpire efficiently • maintain lush coloration • build internal momentum without stress ⸻ 💡 Lighting (Week 4 Veg) • LEDs: running at 90% • Lighting source: top lighting only • Under-canopy lighting: not active yet (planned for flower) She’s growing into the light, not being pushed by it. We’re monitoring PPFD across the canopy using the TrolMaster PAR sensor, walking the room to understand distribution — not to chase numbers, but to stay informed. No adjustments are being made. Observation only. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Program Same trusted, balanced approach: • Plagron Terra Grow — vegetative base nutrition • Power Roots — strong, expansive root system • Pure Zym — enzymatic support and cleaner substrate • Sugar Royal — metabolic and microbial encouragement • Vita Race — foliar vitality and micronutrients The response is clear: lush green growth, expressive leaves, and relaxed posture. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Observations • Color: rich, healthy green • Vigor: calm but confident • Growth rate: steady, as expected for Week 4 veg • Structure: quietly stacking potential She’s a lush plant, no other way to say it. Balanced, beautiful, and clearly comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) Expect: • noticeable acceleration soon • tighter internodal spacing • increased nutrient demand as root mass peaks Don’t expect: • explosive stretch just yet • dramatic visual changes this • the need for interventions or corrections This is the calm before the surge — the moment where Sour Diesel gathers herself before showing her true pace. ⸻ Closing Notes Week 4 veg is about trusting the process. Sour Diesel is exactly where she should be — healthy, lush, and preparing for the next chapter. Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

We are in week five. I was a little embarrassed because my girls reacted to the stress by shrinking. Now the situation is perhaps consolidated and we are gaining weight. They will be such tiny beauties, I really hope. pH still unstable (5-6), EC of rainwater supplemented with a mix of organic fertilizers to a value of min. 1.2-1.6 The girls look healthy so I cuted some leafs but only so much, as the all tops have good position for light source.

First buds appeared this Wednesday! Still continuing with shed time at night; I'm still dwelling how/when/if I'll stop this. From start to stop, I can get the plants out in the morning in 7 minutes, and put them away at night in 5. It's also time I'd love to get back. But it also could prevent them being seen by casual weed thieves, as well as saving them from frequent night rains in Sept. But they're also soon going to be getting sticky which will suck for handling them. Speaking of, I'll probably pick a separate shirt to use while doing this, as even tying them up a bit more today has probably made it so I'll reek of weed until I change. Speaking of tying them up, the video allows one to see trees in the background getting tossed around in the wind, while they don't have too much movement. And I love my windchimes :) . Still watering 5 gallons every 2-3 days. Today was pretty cool; only a high of 26C.

Gold Sativa is doing well. I increased nutrition, and I may of been too strong. Been following the routine I been doing through grow with solution changes. She looks pretty happy, and the Spider Farmer SE5000 light is at a good sweet spot for her. She is in a New Level Hydro bucket.
