Plants are responding well with the gold leaf at 4ml per gallon. The reservoir is starting to have a strong bad smell on day 3. May switch back to ph'd water at 6.5, then add gold leaf at 10ml gallon every 3 days. They're drinking water like crazy. Iowered the light to about 20", running on 580 watt.

Week 9 of flowering, Day 92 = the smell is incredible a. the buds are smelling very sweet, and still growing very large b. we are in the home stretch c. the trichomes are very milky d. the DWC is half full of 1620ppm nutrients at 6.5PH, I am cutting it in half with Mineral Water to finish the maturing process e. stigmas are changing color very rapidly, and the smell is incredibly strong Day 93 - WOW! The smell is becoming very intense a. we do not have a carbon filter on this box as it is out in our barn, but holy cow when we walk about 5 meters from the barn we can smell it strong b. added 4L of mineral water to the DWC to cut the Ripen down c. the buds are maturing fast! this will be harvested around day 100/101/102 d. for this week we are moving light to 11/13 Day 94 - resin explosions everywhere a. the light switch always makes more resin appear, and causes white stigmas to turn pink/orange b. she has slowed down her drinking a bit c. tomorrow the DWC will be pumped out, and 10L of water with FloraKleen will be added for 2 days Day 95 - trichomes look wonderful! a. 100x microscope shows really nice trichome development, majority milky white, with some amber, a few clear which should go white/amber in the next few days, and while drying. b. installed FloraKleen at 3ml/L with 10L of mineral water, will keep FloraKleen in for 2 days, then remove c. the pistils are all turning red/orange and brown Day 96 - growing well a. the buds continue to fully mature, the pistils are changing rapidly, and there are very few clear trichomes anywhere I look b. she is drinking less and less, her life is coming to an end I see, i constantly remove dead curled up leaves from her Day 97 - maturing, and smelling awesome a. i uploaded a video of the buds b. the trichomes are all milky white, and a probably 5-10% amber, they are SO greasy! Just like Girl Scout Cookies! c. installed a dehumidifier into the tent, it works well Day 98 - she is in the harvest window a. what a great plant to grow, 95% pistils are orange/red/brown and trichomes are 90% milky, 5% amber and a few clears here and there b. I am removing some leaves today to open her up a bit c. I think we will go another week, I will be in Geneva, so hopefully she will eat her leaves!

Flowering Week 20: Structural Surprises & Purple Promises Update: 28.07.2025 | Day 143 Hey Growmies, Apologies for the radio silence! Between vacation and kid adventures, the diary took a backseat. But the ladies? They’ve been busy. Here’s the catch-up: Emergency Support Mission - Durban’s weight crisis: Side branches cracked under their own mass – one even split the main stem! - Field fix: Stabilized with 4 stakes + speaker wire (ugly but effective). - Lesson learned: Next run = heavy-duty support before stretch. Strain Check: Durban Poison (African Queen) - Growth style: Less height (expected 2m+), more lateral explosion – new shoots daily make her look like 3 plants in one. - Flower status: White pistils stacking at branch tips. - Smell: Still discreet (neighbor-safe… for now). - Health: Vibrant green – zero stress signs. Blueberry - Surprise stretch: Nearly hit 2m (like a sativa!). Half Durban’s width but elegant. - Stem power: Thicker trunk than Durban – mini-tree status. - Color preview: Purple stems emerging! Buds may follow suit (fingers crossed). - Support needed: Prepping for heavy buds to avoid branch snaps. Care & Environment - Feeding: Pure Bokashi juice (no extras) – they’re thriving on it. - Pests/mold: None spotted. Dry summer helping. - Weather: About 20° C and really high humidity. Next Steps - Build 4-stake + twine support grid (multiple height tiers). - Monitor Durban’s odor spike as flowering advances. - Pray to the mold gods for a dry autumn (purple buds = mold camouflage). Week 20 Takeaway Never underestimate the weight of the branches and the effect of a little strom. I could possible fuck up my grow. Alright folks, as always: Catch y’all next week – no more hiatuses! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

I really, REALLY hate making PH changes this late in flower but we gotta do what we gotta do...it's definitely not the worst i've seen but if we let them ride like this it will absolutely impact our yield..we can't have that folks lol... we'll update their progress midweek, thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!!! 💚💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 1/30 😼 we gave the monster Big Bud (not seen) sharing the tent with these girls a good monster cropping today, this allowed us to drop the lights a little over 6inches today ❤️💡🌱.. ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

-25.07.2024 The blooming season starts today the light intensity has been increased, the lamp is running at 80% (240 Watt) the measured values with the Photone App: Ppfd = 1000 DLi = 75 Starting this week, each plant will be watered with 1 liter of water. 4 ml BioGrow, 2 ml TopMax, 2 ml BioBloom will be added to the liter of water. Soil still felt moist, so no watering today. -26.07.2024 Just a visual Check -27.07.2024 Everything looks pretty good so far. the soil felt dry, both plants were watered with 1 liter of water with 4 ml BioGrow, 2 ml BioBloom and 2 ml TopMax. -28.07.2024 Just a Visual Check -29.07.2024 Visual Check The Soil felt really dry, Both plants got 1 Liter Water per plant. -30.07.2024 Visual Check The soil is little bit moist, but no watering. I raised the Skywalker, now both tips of the plants are at the same height. LST has been readjusted slightly and removed some of the lower leaves. -31.07.2024 Visual control, the plants were watered with 750 ml of water per plant. 2ml BioGrow, 2ml TopMax and 2ml BioBloom were added to the water. And another week passed.

Another week down and we are getting close. Fade is well on. Slowed down on water uptake Keeping a close eye on the trichomes. So all going well, she be for the chop next week, fingers crossed🤞

06/03/2021 Week 10 and pistils are turning brownish in color as new growth is still coming starting to get some serious smell now, I put her outside for a little fresh air and light drizley rainy afternoon will be brought back in doors to dry her leaves, and back under Iights to finish her day. Maybe trim some leaves? Hmmm. Ps. Put up 3 pics of day #5 week #10 of flower, she may go to week 12 but we will see.

Steady progress from last weeks update. Although I may have mixed two of the plants up and the one I think is red dragon could actually be Zombie Kush, but I’m sure that’ll show in the next couple of weeks, there are actually 2 Zombie Kush in there, the mix around came at the time of repotting, if a mix around there was, ah the mystery of it all😜 smelling great in there. The purple strawberry really does have an amazing aroma, and the blue fire og has a super stench, I thought it might be a bit more fruity but I’m not complaining. The gorilla Zkittles is just pouring oil, the leaves and buds are covered, it’s been sticky for a while now the smell not so intense. The Zombie Kush are looking great (1 especially but this as aforementioned may be red dragon🙃) The red Dragon is also looking really good and filling up space along the stems with bud, not so much of a show of trichomes as far as this one goes but theyre there🤤 the critical orange punch is also doing well but isn’t that great to look at, I’m hoping as the buds fatten they’ll tighten up a bit. The smell from this one is gorgeous though and no doubt it will make great smoke. April is looking like a good month for flavours🤤🤤🤤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So she 'only' grew 3cm this week. That's not bad considering what she looked like a week ago!! 😭 She's pushed out a lot of new green growth this week. I hope she's also building a strong root system below ground. 💪

Massive growth on week 5 no any trouble

Super impressed with the vertical growth on the costa mesa haze plants. Fimed everything week ago, really helped in shooting out more nodes. Already showing buds on CMH.

. Vorwort: Die Pflanzen zeigen deutliche Mängel, was zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt erwartet wurde. Seit heute gibt es nur noch Wasser und natürlich PH reguliert, ca. 4-5 Liter, ohne Dünger. Weitere Mängel in den kommenden Tagen sind eingeplant und kein Grund zur Sorge. Die Ernte ist für nächsten Montag oder etwas später vorgesehen. 🌿 Woche 8 - Reifephase, Substanz vor Optik Ich, Banana Purple Punch, stehe am Ziel. Meine Blüten sind schwer und dicht, meine Energie ist vollständig in sie geflossen. Die Blätter lassen nach, Farben verblassen, aber das gehört dazu. Mein Duft ist voll entwickelt, süß und tief. Ich brauche nichts mehr außer Zeit. 🍌 Ich, Purple Haze, bleibe konstant bis zum Ende. Meine Struktur ist stabil, meine Blüten reifen gleichmäßig weiter. Die Mängel zeigen sich ruhig und kontrolliert. Mein Duft ist klar, würzig und präsent. Kein Drama, kein Einbruch. Wir beiden Lemon Cherry Cookies nähern uns auf unterschiedliche Weise dem Abschluss. Ich, die Schnellere, zeige deutliches Finish-Verhalten. Die Buds sind kompakt, die Mängel nehmen zu, die Energie geht sichtbar zurück. Mein Duft ist intensiv, süß-sauer und deutlich ausgeprägt. 🍋🍒 Und ich, die Ruhige, bleibe gelassen. Meine Entwicklung ist weiterhin gleichmäßig. Mängel sind vorhanden, aber ohne Stress. Ich nehme mir die Zeit, die ich brauche. Woche 8 fühlt sich nach Loslassen an. Kein Nachjustieren mehr, kein Eingreifen. Wasser, Licht und Geduld. Die Pflanzen bauen ab, um abzuschließen. Genau so ist es gedacht.

Harvest

Fruity Pebbles in blue planet nutrition has grown really nice. She has a good fruity, sweet aroma. Loaded in trichromes, and looks like she will give me roughly a good quarter lb or more in a dry yield. Everything went fairly well in the grow. No major issue I can think of. Thank you Medic Grow, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This plant came from a random seed I found in a dispensary bag and since we have dozens and dozens of bags I don't know which one it came out of...so the strain is unknown. I’m not sure whether it’s a photoperiod or an autoflower, but I’m assuming it’s a photoperiod for now. I started it indoors in a tent, germinating the seed using the paper towel method before planting it in a small quart-sized pot. It’s been growing for a few weeks in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, but the leaves have just started to fade, so I’m preparing to transplant it into its final home—a 50-gallon pot outdoors now that it’s spring. The 50-gallon pot is filled mostly with standard potting soil, mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and perlite. A few weeks after transplanting, I’ll begin feeding it a combination of liquid nutrients including Advanced Nutrients, Fox Farm, CalMag, and Mikrobs Microbial Superpack. I’ll also top-dress with worm castings and other amendments as needed. If the plant turns out to be male, I’ll harvest the pollen or any seeds it produces. If it’s female, I plan to grow it as large as possible—which is why I’ve chosen such a large pot and moved it outdoors.
