Hi there. Here’s a few photos and videos over the past few weeks. I transplanted the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flowering ladies outdoors around May 24th. A little sooner than I had planned, but they were starting to get root bound in their starter containers. They have been exploding with growth since the transplant. The larger plant is already 4’ tall and the shorter one is 39”. Fast Buds website says up to 3 Meters (10 Feet) outdoors. At this pace they might exceed that!!!👍👍

COMMENTED BY MadeInGermany MadeInGermany 6 days ago Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hello everybody :-) Another nice week goes by. The network for the ScrOG was stretched :-) It is really strange how fast it grows in Aerophonic :-) no comparison to all media 👍. I will put it in bloom again in the coming days because the stretching at Aerophnic is extreme :-). With training I stopped so she was only topped 2 times in total. As always, the water was completely replaced every 10-12 days and everything was cleaned. She was checked for health so nothing stands in the way of her :-) Have fun with the update and stay healthy You can buy this Strain at www.Zamnesia.com Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez X Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 Flower lamp : 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 COB 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 ☝️ Grow Aero System : Growtool 0.8 ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Aqua Vega A + B , Canna Aqua Flores A + B , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

These guys aren't growing as fast as the White Widow. I topped the one in the DWC. I'm going to wait a bit for the others. Other than that they look pretty good!

Week 11 From Seed | Week 6 Flower 🌸 (Sour Diesel) Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run has been 12/12 from seed—no veg, no safety net. And this Sour Diesel made that very clear from the beginning. Early stress slowed her down, and in this style of run, that time doesn’t come back. Just like an autoflower, every day counts—and she felt that. She stayed smaller than the rest. Lower water intake. Less stretch. But she never stopped pushing. She adapted, stabilized, and found her rhythm again. ⸻ Current State — Week 6 Flower Now she’s showing her true character. • Temps: 26°C • RH: 60% • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • Water intake: ~1.2L/day (14.5L soil) Not the biggest drinker—but steady and consistent. We performed a light defoliation, opening her up and preparing her structure for the weeks ahead. And she answered back: Compact, dense buds Noticeable frost building That classic Sour Diesel energy starting to come through Small frame—but real presence. ⸻ Observations • Tight stacking despite limited size • Strong resin production for her stage • Healthy recovery after early stress • Efficient metabolism relative to her size • Terpene profile already hinting through She didn’t win in size— but she’s absolutely delivering in quality. ⸻ The Real Talk This is what 12/12 from seed teaches you. There’s no time to recover mistakes early on. Every stress moment leaves a mark. And this Sour Diesel carries that story. But more importantly—she shows what recovery looks like. Not every plant needs to dominate the room to earn respect. Some earn it by fighting back and still finishing strong. ⸻ Looking Ahead — Week 7 Next week we expect: • Buds tightening further • Frost becoming more visible • Terpenes getting louder—true Diesel character coming out What not to expect: • No major size increase • No catching up to the larger plants And that’s perfectly fine. Now it’s about honoring her finish, not comparing her journey. ⸻ Gratitude 🤝 Big respect to everyone involved: • The genetics — Sour Diesel showing resilience and character • The gear — LEDs, tent, airflow, all working in harmony • The sponsors — for the continued support • The GrowDiaries platform — for letting us document the real journey And to the community: OGs, long-time followers, new supporters, Those showing love and those bringing questions— all of you are part of this. ⸻ Sour Diesel.

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.

Starting my first grow in the new tent with my first Night Owl seeds. Grabbed these from seedslocker a few months ago and they've been sitting in my seed vault in the fridge since. Popped them in a glass of water at 8pm on 10/18. Broke out the AC Infinity propagation system and added a bit of RO water to some coco pucks. About 24 hours later they sunk in the glass and had opened up a bit with root peaking out, so into the pucks they went on the evening of 10/19. No real movement on 10/20, turned the heat pad off because they were a little warm. Morning of 10/21 the first Compound V was starting to pop through the soil, 2nd one followed a couple hours after and before noon all 3 were making their way out. Opened vents on the dome to let them breathe a bit more. 10/22 continuing to grow really strongly, looking good. 10/23 some roots out the bottom, time to go into the tent. Transplanted and seem happy, dialing in the temp and humidity and airflow, some odd higher temp days still around this time of year with some heavy fluctuations but it will normalize out. The tent has been stood up and cooking a bit w/ the lights blazing and a dehumidifier running to dry out our soil a bit. Had issues with fungus gnats last grow and I'm trying to prevent that this time. Ordered some beneficial nematodes as a line of defense and sprayed soil with a good soak of neem oil as a precaution after drying out. Sticky traps show no gnats so far. Soil is Coast Of Maine Stonington Blend Aeration Formula, a 70 / 30 Coco / Perlite blend that I've used before. I have Coast of Maine dry nutrients and Fox Farm liquid nutrients, will likely try to stick to the dry nutrients unless fungus gnats emerge again. Soil is in 5 gallon fabric pots. I added 2/3 cup of Stonington Blend Plant Food and 1/3 cup of Wiscasset Blend Earthworm Castings to each pot along with some Mycorrhizal Fungi spores and worked it in. I have been using the AC Infinity self watering bases but as I'm running 6 total plants this grow I've ordered the new Vivosun self watering bases to compare them.

Harvested n hung in the dry box. Cardboard with small humidifer on a inkbird. Under A/C on blast the box stays a little below 70 deg. and 57~63% rh. 4 inch duct leading into another tent for passive exhaust from box to tent. No dark period, little early honestly couldve went another week max. Will report back.

Good morning, today is day 36 of veg and the start of week 6. As you can see the ladies got transplanted into their final 10am fabric pot homes! These ladies like it a bit cooler and more humid so I’m still keeping vpd at .9 with the temps maxing out at about 77! I also needed to bump up watering - they ran through a half gallon super quick so I went to a gallon and they needed it every 3 days ! Still sticking to my every other watering of fish shit and silica! Still a few weeks of veg to go, mainlining slows down the process and I need to fill the canopy horizontally before I start to let them grow taller and after that flip!
