Thus, I've switch my 250w CFL for a Mars Hydro ts1000, heat increase to 24°C, I add 1ml of top bud in my water, buds have grown a lot and I can see some trichomes

12/09/25 - I think this is the last watering for the girls. I did chop one poundcake yesterday as it was the smallest and taking up room I really could use. For the sake of a few extra grams ill deal with it and make sure my drying process is dialed before I put in the real contenders 😝 Checked trichs on them and mostly cloudy with some ambers. Ive not checked the Sour crinkle but I can tell thats going to be the last to finish which Im fine with 😁 13/09/25 - All needed water again prett sure the strawberry gorillas will be done in a few days and the sour crinkle late next week 14/09/25 - Trichs looking good mainly cloudy and 5% amber all over so this week will be chop week for 2 strawberry gorilla's and maybe the last poundcake. Sour crinkle could do another week or two we will see 😋 15/09/25 - Watered all 1.25-1.5L each 16/09/25 - Watered with microben actus by Dr Organics 17/09/25 - Watered all 1.5L each 18/09/25 - I think chop day is tomorrow we'll see ill give the trichs another check and I think we start the hardest bit. Drying so ill smoke it 👌

I decided to mainline my plants this week. I've never done HST, but I felt confident and I'm extremely happy with the results. I also gave each plant a litre of Multifeed because I noticed some leaf necrosis and yellowing which I believe is a bit of nutrient deficiency.

Pablo Escobar has been growing good this last week. She had her roots pruned today with some defoliation, and lst. She has steadily been making good progress. Nothing more to report at this time. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Short, Compact & Beautiful! Leaf mutation on lower growth (2nd node) Day 16: Sept 11th - Water w/ 1 Tbsp Molasses. Day 18: Sept 13th New Spider Farmer SF-2000 LED Grow Light - Lowered new SF-2000 - 30 Inches above canopy - 80%

Es sieht alles sehr gut aus, ich habe mich dafür entschieden noch ein paar Tage zu warten bis auch bei den unteren Buds die Trichome größtenteils milchig sind - da ist jetzt etwas Geduld gefragt, aber ich denke in den nächsten Tage dürfte es soweit sein. Die Buds sind sehr kompakt gewachsen und wirken sehr frostig. Unter der Lupe sind man einen dichten Besatz an Trichomen und manche Stile der Trichome sind schön lila gefärbt. Bin super gespannt auf das Endergebnis und ich versuche die letzten Tage die Raumtemperatur zu reduzieren (18 Grad). Die Lichtintensität habe ich abermals reduziert auf Stufe 7 der Sanlight ( max. 1000 PPFD / 43 DLI mittig Headbud / Durchschnitt 780 / DLI 34 mittig).

The first 7 days were good the plant is growing nicely. She just got fed for the first time with Goldleaf feterlizer. I had to raise the light higher because she is a little sensitive to the light.

. 🌱 Tag 6 Dar die Jungpflanze tatsächlich weiter gewachsen ist, war mir das ein zu starkes Spargeln weshalb ich sie umgepflanzt habe und ein Teil des Stieles nun mit Erde bedeckt ist. Ich habe auf meine große Growlampe gewechselt um weiteres spargeln zu vermeiden. 🌱 Tag 7 Das erste echte Blattpaar entwickelt sich weiter, außerdem habe ich gelernt wie entscheidend das Raumklima für das Boxklima ist. Die Klimawerte sind jetzt im optimalbereich. 🌱 Tag 8 Das erste echte Blattpaar bildet sich weiter aus. Die Box hat weiterhin ein perfektes Klima. 🌱 Tag 9 Es macht mir den Anschein dass die kleine Pflanze den Boost eingelegt hat. Ich lasse jetzt als nächstes den Wasserspeicher leer laufen und bewässere danach von Hand. 🌱 Tag 10 Da an der Oberfläche etwas ausgetrocknete Erde zu sehen war, ist dass das Zeichen gewesen, dass der Wasserspeicher leer gelaufen ist und wurde wie geplant entfernt. Das Loch wurde mit Erde aufgefüllt. 🌱 Tag 11 Die Erde sieht sehr trocken aus doch der Topf ist noch recht schwer für die Größe. Ich denke frühestens morgen sollte der Tag des Gießens gekommen sein. Die kleine entwickelt sich gerade prächtig, ich bin zufrieden. 🌱 Tag 12 Die Pflanze wächst schnell weiter. Ich habe sie nach den Fotos gegossen und mit Bio Gro und CallMag von BioBizz gedüngt. Ich bin mal gespannt, ich habe noch nie nicht eine Pflanze übergossen. Diesmal habe ich mir gedacht weniger ist mehr und die Erdoberfläche vor dem Gießen benetzt.

Day71: Tropicana cookies will be cut tomorrow or as soon as the soil dries a bit more. Wedding cheesecake is getting denser. This week is the last feeding week for her, then she is going to get 10/14 days with water only. Gorilla cookies is super bushy, I’m not going to be a fan when I’ll trim her but she is developing well and putting on some weight. Day72: Tropicana cookies is drying! Now I got 2 plants in the tent. I can’t wait to see wedding cheesecake colors at the end of the flush. Gorilla cookies is going to get her last feeding as well and then she is going to get only water. Day 75: pushing towards the end!

Day 44 today. This lady is one leafy girl !!!. trimming is going to be a nightmare . Her bud growth is still ongoing and with 2 weeks to go she will hopefully swell now !. She doesnt seem to like stronger feeds as other strains do and it was the same with her mum too. her buds are fairly solid and smell sweetly fruity too.

Started off week 2 of flowering on 11/19. All of the ladies look good with the Tangerine Dream being the only set of clones to start showing bud sights and not just pre-flowering. Did a significant amount of clipping and clipped most of the fan leaves on the main colas of my ladies and side branches too. I also began playing classical music for them! True to it’s genetics my Tangerine Dreams are putting off numerous side branches with side branches coming off those branches! Since flowering my Cotton Candy has grown the most. Before flowering it was just barely half the height of my TDs and now they’re taller! As for the Chronic Thunder it’s always been the tallest but in flowering it’s focus has all been on the side branches without me even topping it.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Cereal Milk de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas, con 70 dias de floración. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es resistente , y no es para nada complicado cultivarla por lo menos en interior. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Planted into final 15 ltr pots, put into veg tent, started automated feeding on light nutrients. Automated watering, pump turns on & waters plants for 15 minutes out of every hour. Recirculating hydro, I run air pumps to my resovoir to provide airated water/nutes to the plants. Hydro system is a 15 ltr pro pot recirculating adjustable height system. Inner & outer pots! Inner pot has plastic mesh type of bottom , holes everywhere to allow roots to grow through, this sits in a sealed pot apart from 19 mm drainage hose, & has 3 adjustable heights. Which is very handy when you have plants of different heights, as it helps to level them out. Drainage pipe is waround an inch or so off the bottom, so that their is always water/nutes in the bottom of pot, another reason I run air lines. Plants grow big root system's in it! At harvest time when I take the top pots out the roots have filled the entire space & are really compressed! Absolutely crazy! I run the same set up in veg & flower & as I grow perpetualy it makes it easy to simply pick up the inner pot & move it & place it in flowering tent & set up. System can be purchased with a 3rd pot as to be used upside down as a base to get pots of the ground so they can be drained back to a res. Instead of doing like that I simply built a table to sit the system on allowing me to drain it to a res underneath, it came at a good price as well, grows awesome plants.

📆 Semana 11 La Auto Pablo Escobar llegó a su punto justo. Tricomas en su mayoría lechosos con un 20% ámbar, los pistilos ya marrones y retraídos. Olor muy penetrante y dulce, con tonos terrosos y algo especiados. La planta respondió muy bien al lavado en la última semana y dejó ver unas flores compactas y bien resinosas. En general, cultivo fácil, ciclo rápido, y muy buena producción para una automática. Ya cortada, colgando para secar en armario con buena ventilación. ¡Muy contento con el resultado! 🔥✂️💨 Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 92 1000 tap added 6.3 700 Tomorrow will be three weeks since res change. Day 93 1000 tap ph5.46.1 ppm710 Another tiny nanner plucked from another bud. Day 94 Three weeks since res change. She drinks about a liter a day. Looks cooked tbh. First I've read that if/when sugar leaves' tips start burning it's better to harvest, second I checked the trichomes: lowest buds are quiet transparent, but there are amber heads on the top colas already as well. So I guess I should prepare for harvest. I don't know if I should flush. Day 95 Welp after reading a few articles and being bored I decided to change her res one last time to just cold tap. I'm not even gonna ph it, hope I'm not gonna regret it. Update: PH rose like crazy and I had to add some PH minus :) Sugar tips are badly burnt. Day 96 And I sent her to chop town.

Premier test de one bud sur cette variété et au top pour ce mode de culture de bon bourgeons bien remplit et bien coloré . Pour un poids final de 75gr j'ai bouturé a nouveaux mon pied mère et je vous ferait un nouveau journal avec celle ci et des la croissance cette fois si ;) Bon grow à tous😉

11-21 All the girls had a great first week and looking very happy and ready to be topped moving into week 2. Average height of 11.5”. Changed circulation pump from 75gph to 160gph 11-22 Update Topped all 4 resulting in a 10” average. 11-23 Update All responded great to topping and pushing out a lot of new growth. Added video including the mob boss and duct tape moms on the RDWC skid and the older sisters in week 9 overall, flower week 5 in the flower tent that these will move into.

……

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And this week, one Lemon Cherry Gelato came down. Not because the room was finished. Not because the cycle was over. Because sometimes the plant tells you one thing… and the jars tell you another. This wasn’t a full-room harvest. This was a selective cut — one plant, chosen carefully, taken early enough to keep the room moving and late enough to still deliver exactly what medicine is supposed to deliver. And honestly? She earned it. ⸻ 🌱 Why This One Came Down Early The room is still running. The full harvest is still ahead. But one Lemon Cherry Gelato had clearly moved ahead of the pack. Not by weeks. Not dramatically. Just enough. Enough swell. Enough frost. Enough weight. Enough maturity to justify taking one while letting the others continue. That’s one of the advantages of reading plants individually instead of treating a room like a synchronized machine. Not every plant finishes on the same day. Not every expression peaks at the same pace. And not every harvest has to happen all at once. This one came down because she was the most advanced of the room — and because the medicine shelf was starting to look a little too honest. Simple as that. ⸻ Reading Ripeness Properly This is where harvest decisions stop being about calendars and start being about observation. By week count alone, she was close. By structure, she was ready enough. By resin, she was already speaking clearly. The trichomes had begun shifting. Mostly cloudy. A few still clear. A visible touch of amber beginning to appear in select heads. That’s the window. Not “fully amber.” Not “wait until everything turns orange.” Not “harvest because the breeder timeline said so.” The real harvest window begins when clarity fades, cloudiness dominates, and the first signs of amber begin to appear. That’s where she was. Not overripe. Not unfinished. Just entering the first edge of peak maturity. Exactly where many growers prefer to cut for a more balanced effect. ⸻ 🔬 Trichomes: What They Are — And What They Are Not Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not glitter. They are not just visual appeal. And they are not there to make photos look good. Trichomes are resin glands. They are the biochemical factories of the flower — producing and storing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the compounds responsible for aroma, potency, and effect. What we’re watching is not sparkle. We’re watching chemistry mature. Clear heads = still developing. Cloudy heads = peak cannabinoid production. Amber heads = oxidation and degradation beginning. That does not mean amber is bad. It means chemistry is changing. More clear = less mature. More cloudy = fuller, louder, more complete. More amber = heavier, softer, often more narcotic. This plant had entered that first balanced transition. Which made her a perfectly reasonable early pull. ⸻ 🎨 Pistils, Fade & False Signals The white hairs had already begun turning. Fresh white pistils were shrinking back. Older hairs had darkened into orange and rust. That matters — but only as supporting evidence. Pistils help tell the story. They do not write the conclusion. Orange hairs alone do not mean harvest. And white hairs alone do not mean immaturity. Pistils can oxidize from age. From touch. From environment. From simple exposure. So yes — orange hairs were there. Yes — the flower had begun to visually mature. But pistils confirmed the direction. Trichomes made the decision. Color supports. Resin decides. ⸻ ️ The Cut And she was no lightweight. Big frame. Thick branching. Dense internals. Heavy tops. A trunk that did not come down politely. This was one of those plants you feel immediately when the scissors hit the stem. Tough wood. Strong vascular structure. Real weight in the hands. The kind of plant that reminds you very quickly that yield starts in structure long before it ends in flower. By the time she hit the studio, she already looked like what she had become: A full, heavy, mature plant with serious density, strong resin production, and enough mass to justify taking her early without regret. ⸻ 📸 Studio Work & Breakdown Instead of hanging the full plant intact, we took her to the studio and broke her down properly. Document first. Harvest second. Full plant shots. Top structure. Side profile. Bud architecture. Stem thickness. Trichome detail. Then the cut. Rather than dry her whole, she was broken down branch by branch and flower by flower, then transferred into the drying rack. That choice was simple and practical. A full-plant hang is beautiful. But a controlled rack dry gives better space efficiency, faster organization, and easier handling when the goal is immediate personal medicine. So this one was processed clean, sectioned carefully, and laid to dry in the rack inside the drying tent with steady air exchange and indirect circulation. No air blowing directly on flowers. No aggressive drying. No rushing the final stage. Just controlled moisture loss, clean airflow, and patience. Now she dries. ⸻ 🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato, Week 12 from Seed And she delivered. Dense flowers. Heavy resin. Strong structure. Excellent frost. Real weight. Real presence. Could she have gone another week? Probably. Two? Possibly. Would she have gained more? Maybe. But that does not make this cut wrong. It makes it intentional. And intentional harvests are rarely mistakes. ⸻ 📘 Quick Recap — How We Got Here 12/12 from seed. No wasted veg. No unnecessary recovery. No overcomplication. A stable environment. Consistent feeding. Strong genetics. Controlled structure. Patience where it mattered. Intervention only when useful. She got here the same way most good plants do: Not through force. Through consistency. Week by week, she stacked. Flower by flower, she built. And by Week 12 from seed, she gave enough to justify the blade. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next This diary continues. And that matters. GrowDiaries does not handle staggered harvests especially well, which means this is not marked as “harvest week” yet — because the full run is still active, and the second Lemon Cherry Gelato is still standing. So the final harvest report comes later. This is the first cut, not the final chapter. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato remains in the room and keeps pushing. She is not ready yet. She is close. But not yet. She’ll get a few more days. Nutrition will be cut completely next week. Then we let her finish the story in her own time. Same week. Same diary. Different finish line. And that’s the reality of growing plants instead of timelines. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers.

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.
