- Day 57 Noticed quite a dramatic drop in pH today, went from 6.0 to 5.3 in one day. I noticed one of my bubblers was blocked, put in a new one and it's fixed now, hope the issue was due to that. the plant is doing good otherwise. Brought the pH back up to 6.2 now. Day 58 Was happy to see today that the pH drift has been fixed! Seems like the broken bubbler was the problem. pH only dropped down to 6.1 today. I topped the reservoir up with some 6.1 pH water to keep it there. Happy this is fixed now . Day 59 Sadly the water bubbler was not the issue :/. pH dropped down again from 6.1 to 5.3. I fear that she is just drinking so much compared to how small the water reservoir is, which makes the nutrient concentration very strong, brining down the pH. I did a res change today, Let's see what it looks like tomorrow. Day 60 pH went up to 6.5 today after the water res change, which seems to be how it always goes. It goes up the first 1-2 days then it drops hard the next days after. I gave it 6.1pH water today topped the res up more than usual because I will be gone for 2 days, hopefully the pH will stay somewhat stable until I get back. Day 62 Back from my long weekend! The reservoir still had about 1 liter in it, she been drinking a lot. Came home and immediately refilled the reservoir. Noticed pH had also dropped so 5.1!! With the newly added water now it's sitting at 5.9 now. Seems like she is doing well however. Some of the of lower fan leaves yellowed a lot more but that is probably due to all the flowers developing right now. Day 63 Water topped up again with 1.5 liters of pH 6.6 water, which brought the pH back up to 6.1.

Just feeding and waiting for them to ripen up. They have been very easy to grow despite being kept in small pots.

Hey everyone! It's week 2 of flower and this week was a surprise! The girl on the back, the one that has the "long" stem leaves and I didn't have high hopes started to grow a lot and develop quite fast! I'm quite impressed by her! Flowers are also starting to be way more developed this week, which is absolutely amazing I'd say and looks very pretty! This week was very uneventful besides that! And since they are growing so well I decided to increase the amount of nutrients! 😍 I also trimmed a lot of leaves from both babies speciallyy the one from the back) and played with the LST a bit more. Both of them were quite bushy (specially the one in the back) and I hope this won't affect them negatively! Probably not but we never know. Anyway, that's all for now! I hope you'll enjoy the photos and timelapse I took! 👋

Day 64: she’s finally looking like she’s starting to bulk up. Trichomes are everywhere and she smells magnificent. Temperature and humidity levels have also been great the last week and she’s really progressing. I’m feeding her 1ml calmag, 3ml bloom and 2ml topmax per litre and she seems great other than a few tips burnt and a couple bent 90 degrees up a slightly brown ish colour. I can’t invest in a led light yet so I used what I had and added a 5000k led light around day 62 and although it’s the wrong end of the spectrum it seems to be proving great. Any comments are appreciated! Happy growing😎

Week 9 From Seed Sour Diesel — 12/12 From Seed (≈ Week 4 Flower) First, a quick recap for anyone joining the journey now. This Sour Diesel had a rougher start compared to the rest of the room. Earlier in the run she experienced stress that slowed her development, which is why she remains smaller than the other plants in the room. That said, plants have an incredible ability to recover when given the right environment and a little patience. And despite her size, she is now building beautiful flower structure and starting to frost up nicely. Sometimes the smaller plants still carry the biggest character. ⸻ Current Room Conditions The room is currently running slightly on the warm and humid side, but this is intentional and carefully controlled. Environment • Canopy temperature: ~28°C (gradually tapering toward ~26°C) • Relative humidity: ~70% (slowly being reduced toward ~60%) • CO₂: 1000+ ppm through passive enrichment • PPFD across canopy: 800 → 1300 µmol This might look risky on paper, but the room has very strong airflow and constant air exchange, including inner-canopy movement. Good airflow changes everything. Without proper air movement these numbers would be dangerous, but with healthy circulation and CO₂ availability, the plants are able to metabolize efficiently. ⸻ Nutrient Program (Current Week) Feed EC: ~2.4 Soil EC: ~0.9 Current weekly top feed includes: • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom (base nutrient) • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar where applicable) ⸻ Why Power Buds and Green Sensation Now At this stage the plant has fully entered generative growth. The stretch phase is finishing and the plant is shifting energy toward flower development and resin production. Power Buds Power Buds helps signal the plant to transition more strongly into flower formation. At this stage we want the plant focusing on bud site development and structure, and this additive helps push that direction. Green Sensation Green Sensation comes in as a flower booster, supporting: • bud weight • terpene production • resin development • potassium and phosphorus availability during peak demand Around week 4 of flower, plants start increasing nutrient demand for flower building, which is why this product becomes relevant now. ⸻ Why Power Roots Was Removed Early in the run the focus is on root system establishment. Power Roots is excellent during: • seedling stage • early vegetative growth • transplant stress But once the root system is already developed and the plant has entered full flowering mode, the focus shifts from root expansion to flower production. At this point it becomes more beneficial to direct the feeding program toward generative growth rather than root stimulation. ⸻ A Quick Note on Leaf VPD Leaf VPD is always something to keep in mind, but we won’t go too deep here since we’ve covered it in previous reports. What matters most is that: • temperature • humidity • airflow • light intensity are all working together. Even though humidity is currently around 70%, the strong airflow and active transpiration keep the plants functioning properly. The leaves are still able to transpire and regulate themselves efficiently. ⸻ Plant Development Despite the smaller plant size, the flower formation is looking excellent. Bud sites are stacking well and trichome production is already beginning to show. She is starting to frost up nicely, almost like a light snowfall on the sugar leaves. The structure is surprisingly elegant for a plant that had a slower start. Sometimes the plants that struggle early end up showing the most personality later in flower. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Over the coming week we should begin to see: • increased bud stacking • calyx swelling beginning • more visible trichome development • stronger aroma production The plant should now start focusing more energy on resin production and flower density. If conditions remain stable, the next weeks will likely show the true character of this Sour Diesel. ⸻ Final Words To everyone following this journey: Thank you. To the OG growers, the new followers, the people quietly watching, the ones leaving comments, the ones sharing knowledge, and yes — even the haters. Energy is energy, and every voice contributes to the ecosystem of this community. Shoutout as well to the GrowDiaries platform, the broader growing community across platforms, and everyone who continues to support, question, discuss, and share knowledge. We grow together. And sometimes even the plants we think we messed up still remind us why we love doing this.

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.

She is doomed 😂 We hung her for about 4 days and then had a smoke. Lemon flavor like her mother (Critical Plus) and a nice high like her mother. As I said on the last update I will just switch this diary over to the other Quick Critical I didn’t choose as a mother plant. She looks much better than this one ever did. She is about 2 weeks behind (17 days) so the diary weeks won’t match but I’ll be sure to label the weekly photos.

Day 1 drying: Really nice strain! Easy to grow, medium dosage of nutrients. Smells amazing, I’m really curious how they will end up after the drying. Let’s see in some days. Drying day 7: finished and damn the terps are amazing! Smells and taste amazing. It reminds me of amnesia but in a mix with mimosa. Super special. I do really recommend trying this one out. But I would recommend using living soil over coco!

Лимонад продолжает мутировать. Была надежда, что всё успокоится, но каждый следующий узел был кривой и не симметричный, и в результате всё пришло к раздвоению основной колы, теперь у меня их две😱(см. фото). Я на 99% уверен, что не потеряю в качестве урожая, но почти также уверен, что потеряю в количестве😥 Все растишки показали пол(кто же сомневался? 420!), у лимонада начался предцвет. Поднял лампу, раздвинул горшки, примерно так они и будут стоять до конца цикла. Обрезал ручки с мешков, они мне только мешали. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Started a compost tea, watered in compost tea. Continued LST to promote horizontal growth. Trying to continue to stretch these guys so all the nodes become branches and I can really pack this screen of green.

con 64 dias y viendo el estado de los tricomas diría que voy a empezar a regar con agua sola , unas 3 veces más en el que añadiré en el riego Dos de acido cítrico por uno acido ascórbico y en 7 -10 dias cosecharé.

Looks great, she's gaining nicely. But could take another 2 weeks before ready. Clones failed, they were already flowering, but was taking them off anyway I'm speculating her to be a 40gr-plant 🤞🤞🤞 Trichomes getting ready, too soon! Starting a few amber trichomes, still little amount, got some time, but will cut her soon, she's not the thickest 😞 could have been a lot worse though. Will have a few weeks extra to the stash 25/11 still mostly white overall same on 26th 06/12 little bit of amber, she looks ripe though, guess a few extra days Lamp is on at night, hope to save electricity costs

Co2 is kicking some ass, causing some of the mothers to grow huge in 7 days! Autos are producing slowly, or maybe im just impatient. When the clones and seedlings are ready for a light change, the autos are going outside I think Added a security monitor to allow me to watch the garden remotely and record any unforeseen motion. I really like growing in 2020, technology is a great companion to the garden and gardener

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now almost halfway through flowering which is 4 weeks into flower, and the stretch has just finished. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I did start to add a PK booster last week pushing the EC up to 1.4. I also switched the Medic Grow light from V1 to the F1 Spectrum at the beginning of last week, and will be integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The tallest plants are the Sundae Driver and the Durban Nights at 44" and the Red Hot Cookies is the shortest plant at 40" however they all look happy and healthy and capable of easily giving up a half pound each. The 5X5 tent is starting to really fill up and they are just now starting to smell. I was out of town all weekend so I was unable to make a time lapse video but I will update next week. I did defoliate twice this week and I may do one or two more rounds before just letting them do their thing. Not much to do from here on out except make sure the reservoir is full and the PH is in the proper range. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled
