29.12. Day 92 Flower 51 Hallo Leute Sieht gut aus. Ich kämpfe immer noch etwas mit Spidermites. Noch ist sie echt Durstig. Die Knospen wachsen. Und davon gibt's ne Menge. 😍 Süßigkeiten Regen heißt es ja auch. Wird bei vollen 70 Tagen Blüte geerntet. Ich will POWER BUDS GROSSE POWER BUDS Noch 19 Tage zum mästen. Danke Leute Ach ja, das Update... Ich sage es Mal so. Macht baldigst wieder eins denn es läuft nicht. 01.01.xxxx Hallo. Das war's mit Durstig. Ihre Knospen sehen toll aus. So viele... Alle Marke fest und klebrig. Freu. 02.01. Der Duft ! Es kommt eine Menthol Note dazu. Also Hustenbonbon. 03.01. Schxxxx ne Nachbarpflanze nicht von Zamnesia infiziert sie gerade mit Spidermites. Deswegen geht heute die Nachbarpflanze. Diese lasse ich mir nicht versauen. Da hängt was dran. 04.01. Dieser Duft! Liebe Leute, wer es ausgefallen haben möchte. Wem ne Gelato gefällt der wird hier auf seine Kosten kommen. ZAMNESIA hat hier etwas großartiges gezüchtet. Werbung? Erfahrungsbericht.

Flowers are growing larger with more resin. I am thinking I use CNS17 Ripe next time around instead of bloom. I will lower PH a bit tonight. It is 6.8 with an EC of 1.7.

Esta planta viene de 1 año aproximadamente de cultivo y sigue impresionando como el primer dia, es un aroma que lo quiero tener en mis frascos para momentos especiales.

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 8 (Flower Week 3) — Strategic Reset Week ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — Where We Are • Genetics: Sour Diesel • Timeline: Week 8 from seed • Flowering: Week 3 • Height: ~60–70 cm (compact structure) • Room Temp: 28°C • RH: 65% • Feed EC: 2.9 • pH: 6.5 (kept above 6.0 intentionally) • Lighting: LED • Action this week: Strategic defoliation This plant is not tall — she’s compact, dense, and structurally tight. Which means airflow and internal light penetration become critical early. And that’s exactly why this week mattered. ⸻ 🍃 The Defoliation — Not Aesthetic. Architectural. This was not cosmetic trimming. It was: • Removing large fan leaves blocking interior bud sites • Cleaning inner congestion • Opening airflow channels • Resetting light distribution across the canopy • Helping the entire room environment (not just this plant) The room needed air — this plant was advanced enough to handle stress. That’s key. Week 3 of flower is the transition window: • Stretch is slowing • Bud sites are set • Energy shifts toward stacking At this stage, a strategic defoliation: • Improves transpiration efficiency • Reduces microclimate humidity pockets • Prevents internal leaf-to-leaf condensation • Encourages bud site activation below the top canopy This was structural architecture. Not haircut vanity. ⸻ 🌡️ 28°C in Flower — “Too Hot?” Let’s Go Deep. People panic when they hear 28°C in flower. But here’s where most growers confuse: 🔥 HPS vs LED Heat Behavior Under HPS: • Radiant heat warms leaf surfaces directly • Leaf temperature often equals or exceeds room temp • 28°C air under HPS can mean 30–32°C leaf temp • That pushes VPD dangerously high Under LED: • Less infrared radiation • Leaf surface temp is typically 1–3°C LOWER than room temp • So at 28°C room temp, leaf temp might be 25–26°C And VPD calculations depend on leaf temperature, not air temperature. ⸻ 🌿 What Is Leaf VPD? VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) measures the difference between: • Moisture inside the leaf • Moisture in the surrounding air But if you calculate VPD using only room temp, you’re missing the real transpiration dynamics. With: • 28°C air • ~25–26°C leaf surface (LED) • 65% RH Leaf VPD sits in a very workable mid-flower zone. Not extreme. Not stress-inducing. Not shutdown territory. We’re driving metabolism, not cooking terpenes. ⸻ 💧 Why 65% RH Isn’t Dangerous Here Context matters: • Good airflow • Opened canopy • Compact but cleaned structure • Early-mid flower (Week 3, not Week 7) At this stage: • Pistils are forming • Bud density is still moderate • Transpiration is active High humidity becomes dangerous when: • Bud mass is dense • Internal airflow is poor • Late flower resin traps moisture We’re not there yet. And we just improved airflow with defoliation. ⸻ ⚡ EC 2.9 — Aggressive but Intentional That EC is strong. But: • Plant is compact, not oversized • Sour Diesel can eat • pH 6.5 keeps availability wide (Ca, Mg, P balance) The key will be: • Watching leaf tips • Monitoring runoff behavior • Watching for clawing or salt stress Right now, if she’s praying and stacking, she’s handling it. ⸻ 🔍 What To Expect Next Week (Flower Week 4) After defoliation: You may see: • Slight pause (24–72 hours) • Increased vertical bud push • Better lower-site activation • More defined pistil clustering • Stronger apical dominance response If recovery is clean: • Buds begin early stacking phase • Internodes tighten • Resin production initiates at bract level If stress appears: • Slight leaf droop • Tip burn acceleration • Reduced upward leaf angle But based on structure and timing — this looks calculated, not reactive. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Week Matters Long-Term This week determines: • Airflow pattern for late flower • Mold resistance later • Bud density uniformity • Final trim efficiency • Light-to-bud conversion efficiency This wasn’t about now. This was about Week 7 and 8 survival. ⸻ 🙏 Appreciation Section To: • The OGs here since seed • The new followers discovering the journey • The silent readers • The critics • The skeptics • The lovers • The haters • The platform • The sponsors • The community • Grow Diaries itself Everyone has a place here.

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.

10/5 9:0 4 AM two of them are doing great since I switched to RO one of them is still doing really bad cause I spilled amino acids when I was waterinvvI think that was Mendo Frost. It was really good when I fucked up too. 10/19 4 AM. I started dissolving the maxi powder into a glass cup on a magnetic stir before I try to mix it up. Seems to work better this way. EC 1.4 PH 5.7. I’m having to use PH up for the first time since I started using RO water. 10/21 115PM They are great, smell perfect and done, but im keeping them for as long as I can. 10/22 2:38AM...Almosst Frank Sinatra Quarter to 3 time! Im smoking some of the RF3 I dried and its just great. 10/22 10AM LIGHTS DOWN to about 600 - 700 PPDF about 55 watts on each light, the double light and half power worked GREAT, a success! 10/23 2 PM 🤖Your plan is solid and practical for late flower in coco, especially with the goal of saving RO water and reusing the medium. At ~14 weeks, both plants are well past the typical Fast Buds window (most of their autos finish in the 9–11 week range from seed). The photo shows mature, stacked buds with the usual late-flower leaf fade, so chopping after this treatment makes sense if the trichomes look ready to you (mostly cloudy with some amber). On the flush steps you described • Tap-water rinse in the bathtub (one plant at a time): Good idea. It will push a lot of residual salts out and also rinse the outside of the fabric bags. Use enough volume to get solid runoff. • 1 gallon FloraKleen at 5 mL/gal: This matches common practice. FloraKleen (General Hydroponics) is designed exactly for this—breaking residual nutrient bonds in coco/hydro without adding more salt. 5 mL/gal is a solid working rate (some charts list 5–10 mL/gal; your dose is fine and not excessive). • Follow with 1 gallon of pH-balanced RO water: Perfect. This finishes the job and leaves the medium cleaner for the chop. Do the tap rinse → FloraKleen → RO sequence as one event (or close together) so the FloraKleen has a chance to work before the final RO rinse. Then let the bags dry down a bit before you chop. After the chop (for reusing the coco) Once the plants are cut: 1 Pull out as much of the root mass as you can (the big root ball and any dense clusters). Leftover roots hold moisture and can harbor issues. 2 If the runoff EC was still elevated after your flush, give the coco one more plain-water rinse. 3 Let the bags dry thoroughly (spread or sit them so air can move) before storing or prepping for the next run. Wet coco sitting around is the main mold risk. 4 Before the next grow, re-buffer the coco with Cal-Mag. Coco’s cation exchange sites pull calcium and magnesium; a short soak or drench with a Cal-Mag solution (roughly 5–7.5 mL/gal of something like CALiMAGic, or equivalent) for several hours, then a light rinse, prevents early deficiencies on the next seedlings. Your sequence already does the heavy lifting for salt removal while the plants are still in the bags. The post-chop root removal + later Cal-Mag buffer is the main extra step that makes reused coco reliable. You’re good to run it the way you laid it out. 10/25 3:38 AM Mendo Frost has been done for about a week. I just kept her going cause I wanted to and the other one the RF three mix back. I can’t tell which one it might be guava, but it is a week behind Mendo Frost and she’s peeking she’s really ready. It’s the nicest smelling plant. I just can’t believe it. I don’t know if it’s guava or strawberry gorilla or one of the other ones doesn’t smell like an apple but wow, it’s just the best I’ve ever done. I can’t believe how great this is. It really just smells like completely fresh like grocery store fruit fresh I’m smoking it right off the plant. I like the way it is when it’s like this.

Continued feeding plant with each watering of 2 litres every 3/4 days. The flowers are fattening up nicely, into some bigish colas, meaning harvest isn't too far away. Removed some dieing leaves from bottom of the plant. Almost time to stop feeding and start the flushing process.

Хороший куст, 230+/- грамм сухих шишек с куста потеряв месяц Вегетативной стадии. Сахарные шишки. Много листьев.

Week 6 of to a good start! They look happy and healthy. Time to flip to flower soon! 👽👉3/10 Climate is automated and working accordingly to my adjusted VPD settings. Happy and healthy, actually surprised they've grown so much lately. 👽👉4/10 Waiting for their complete recovery, so they can be flipped to flower (Defoliation the 30/9, im giving them about a week) 👽👉5/10 Water day* Plain ph balanced water. Need Runoff PH and EC down a little bit. 👽👉6/10 I applied the SCROG net. 👽👉7/10 Doing some minor tweaks to the setup + VPD settings(from 1.0 to 1.1). Approaching the flip to flower, so VPD Did a bit of defoliation before the flip next week 👽👉8/10 Today, i learned from research on biobizz nutrients https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/biobizz-nutrients-answers-from-biobizz.78899/ (Direct answer from biobizz) With the answers, my view on feeding biobizz changed a bit, and i was luckily about to switch up the nutes. Good timing. Waterday* PH6.2 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l) Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow) 👽👉 9/10 Last day of the week for my plants and last day in veg! They look fantastic and well recovered at lights on! (Look at the before/after lights vids/pics) Raised VPD by 0.1: VPD settings(from 1.1 to 1.2)

There's a slight smell of a cheese bud. Only got about 0.6 ounce bud can improve on that with better LST. I have a lack of pictures because it has been smoked. 😃

I caught the sun and captured the moment as it shone on my special rose. 🌹 It was pretty windy, as you can probably tell from the video, but I think I still managed to get a few nice pictures. And finally, a video where you can see the blooms a little more clearly, along with some close-ups. For really close-up shots, I guess I’ll have to resort to my smartphone after all. I’ll post those next time, or maybe sometime in between. Peace be with you all. ✌️

it's amazing:) she's already getting ready for flowering:) I'll leave the girl alone for a week, "I'm going on vacation" I'll leave the wifi-controlled watering system, I'll give 1 liter of water every other day:) the girl will also dress up for "Halloweed: for the holiday:" good luck to everyone:).

Just like assumed the faster-growing plant is definitely a male which i am happy for…he will pollinate the regular skunk and blue skunk also…i can hardly wait to plant offspring.

Week 5, last week in the 1.5l pots, I will transplant them during the weekend in 18l pots. The roots have filled up the 1.5l pots creating a strong roots ball ready to explode in their next pot. I am starting to need to water them too frequently from what I like... transplanting them in bigger pots will extend the watering frequency, giving me more free time to enjoy some dank weed while surfing GrowDiaries 😊 (Tip of the week : After transplanting no need to feed, any horticultural soil is pre-fertilized) [Day 31] Transplanting into 18l pots, using Cellmax Organic Pro. - Water + RootBooster + AllZymes (P.S: I am looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as, Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞) This diary is updated daily ☝️

Poly Harvest 622g lost about 3g to bud rot as one bud was about to go south due to all the wet assed weather lately. good thing we got her today. Easy trim Wow did winter ever get here fast. Snow this weekend so everything is chopped. Busy busy day Not sure how to amend the harvest to include Zona - 445 grams wet but do what I can She did well and in the end was healthier than Poly. Very slight point of bud rot (cold and wet) perhaps one gram affected. Will update dry weight as I may BTW the dog in the video is named Mater and he loves cannabis, he hangs around when I harvest and eats any leaves I discard. No hes a good dog leaves the plants themselves alone :) Zona 167 grams dry I am good with that on a plant almost cut down lost a few grams to bud rot nothing remarkable given the weather

day 44 - The growth process continues unabated. I am waiting for the desired size. 8 days after flowering it didn't grow as much as I thought it would, so we went back to the growing season. 👽 day 49 - I decided not to cut the leaves anymore after much defoliation. It easily tolerates strong stress easy to grow.

Kept bending and LST-ing her. She's catching up a bit now. Spraying all the ladies with cannacure weekly.

las plantas siguen con su bloque o carencia pero ya esto se termina en nada , tienen muy buenos olores dulces y flores apretadas me gusta este cultivo y son semillas de granel baratas y con agua dura ,alguna semilla de mas calidad y agua bien controlada de ec pueden salir cosas buenas en 11L

Hi the plant is fine and in recent days a lot of comparison has developed with the other plants (which all have the same parent) that were planted before her also because and it's the last mass June, the fertilization continues with earthworm humus and raw cane sugar and honey
