Week 4 – Gorilla Girl is Growing Strong! We’ve reached 4 weeks of growth, and everything is going great! Our Gorilla Girl is thriving and has already reached around 20 cm in height. To encourage a bushier structure and more lateral growth, we’ve performed a topping — cutting off the main tip. This should help her focus energy on developing strong side branches. She’s still growing in her 1.5-liter pot, under optimal climate conditions: Daytime temperature around 28°C, and nighttime at 21°C, with stable humidity levels. We're feeding her with premium-quality fertilizers from Xpert Nutrients, and the results are clearly visible — strong structure, vibrant leaves, and healthy development. Massive thanks to Sweet Seeds for the amazing genetics and to Xpert Nutrients for the perfect nutrition. We’re excited to see what the next weeks bring!

Skywalker OG — Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy Week 7 From Seed | Week 2 Flower Structural Defoliation + Clip Release + Stretch Acceleration ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (Current Reality) • 🌡️ Day Temp: ~28°C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.9 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: 40–80 cm • 💡 LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28°C in flower. In practice? Understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (Why 28°C Is Not “Too Hot”) Under LED: • No infrared radiation blast like HPS • Leaf surface temp typically 2–4°C cooler than room So: • Room ≈ 28°C • Leaf ≈ 24–26°C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD sits beautifully in early–mid flower range. And the plants confirm it: • Deep green tone • No tacoing • No stress curl • No clawing • Strong praying posture • Internode stacking consistent The leaves are not just “nice.” They are metabolically comfortable. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation — What Actually Happened I didn’t trim for aesthetics. I reset the architecture. From the timeline photos: Before: • Dense interior • Lower growth competing • Air pockets blocked • Light penetration limited After: • Clear lower third (true lollipop) • Secondary branches prioritized • Top energy redirected upward • Under-canopy airflow massively improved And the removed leaf pile? That tells the story of biomass management, not plant stress. Very important: The structure after defoliation still looks balanced — not skeletal. That means you removed intelligently, not emotionally. ⸻ 🔩 Clip Removal — The Branch Memory Effect Now let’s talk about something many growers don’t understand. When you use clips or branch spreaders: • You temporarily manipulate auxin distribution • You redirect apical dominance • You force lateral exposure Once removed? The plant reacts in 24–72 hours. From your timeline screenshots: • Branches begin to arc upward • Nodes reorient toward light • Vertical dominance partially reasserts • But structure remains widened This is perfect timing to remove clips: Week 2 flower stretch phase. Why? Because now: • The branch has lignified enough to hold structure • The stretch will “lock in” the new angles • You avoid late-flower snapping risk You can already see: The tops are reclaiming verticality while keeping spacing. That is textbook. ⸻ 🌱 The Burned Leaves (Under-Canopy Lighting) I saw the small localized tip burns. Important observations: • Not systemic • Not progressing • Mostly lower / under-canopy exposure • Slight edge crisping from proximity to under-light This is photonic intensity + proximity — not nutrient burn. Your EC at 2.9 is high compared to your other girls, yes. But here’s the key: They are eating it. Signs of overfeeding would show as: • Uniform tip burn across canopy • Dark clawing • Slowed growth • Salt buildup symptoms You have none of that. Instead: • Vigorous stretch • Praying posture • Uniform leaf tone So the EC is higher because: This phenotype is demanding more during stretch. That’s not excess. That’s appetite. ⸻ 🚀 The Stretch Now let’s talk genetics. Week 2 flower is just the beginning for these. Expect: • 1.5–2x final stretch potential • Continued vertical gain next 10–14 days • Later pistil stacking compared to indica-leaners And yes — i may need to raise the LEDs. At 60 cm now? They are not done. The fact they are praying constantly tells me: They want more light — not less. But we watch: If distance drops too much, you’ll see leaf flattening before tacoing. That’s your early warning. ⸻ Two Plants — Two Personalities You can clearly see: One Plant : • More structured • Tighter node stacking • Slightly thicker leaf The other Plant : • More vertical aggression • Strong apical reclaim after clip removal • Haze-like frame expansion This is why running multiple phenos is beautiful. We’re not just growing. We’re studying expression. ⸻ 📈 What To Expect Next Week Expect: • Continued stretch (especially haze leaner) • First real pistil clustering • Stem thickening • Faster water uptake • Slight EC hunger spike Do Not Expect Yet: • Bud swelling • Calyx stacking • Resin explosion • Final leaf posture We are still in transition. This is architectural week — not production week. ⸻ ❤️ And The Leaves… You’re right. They are beautiful. Wide, defined serrations. Strong petiole angles. No mottling. No interveinal chlorosis. No stress striping. They look metabolically confident. That’s the best compliment a plant can receive. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude Section To everyone: • The OGs who’ve been here since seed • The new growers learning through mistakes and wins • The silent readers • The loud critics • The Grow Diaries community • The platform hosting the journey • The sponsors supporting education • And every single person watching this experiment unfold This is not just a grow. It’s documentation. It’s learning. It’s transparency.

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.

Hello guys😍😍 We have reached the sixth week of flowering All phenotypes are now visible😍 The color of some plants has completely changed due to the temperature difference I observed between night and day. The very dense and snowy buds are the result of my genetic cross (OGcream) of course the real result in my opinion is obtained after drying😈 This week I used feeding and advance fertilizers. Thank you for following and commenting😍 "farah4weed"

Height on 1 of these now 🚀🚀 🔥🔥🔥 I topped the big one yesterday to try get an even canopy before flipping to flower 2 weeks and we flip em!

Exploding in size this week. She’s a hungry one

Day 79, 28th of November 2020: Hi there! Here we go let's say half way. Plants are pretty these Original Sensible Seeds genetics are fantastic! The 2 OG and the Runtz Gum is very strechy. Black Ghost is pretty shorter bushier plant. Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG approx the same height Do-Si-Dos OG is taller a bit. Wedding Gelato is really cool little, bushy anf nice buds forming not problem with her all she is quiet. Do-Si-Dos OG has some deficiency and leaf gets dry but nothing very serious..... Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

In week 9 Stacking nicely and strong smell in the am when I turn the lights on

Very very stretchy and with fragile branches.

Every video and picture were taken on the same day (113/ week 16). If you look at the bottom branches and colas, the pistils are nearly finished and there aren't many clear pistils left. I have attached microscope photos as well. It is important to check many sites on the plant, as only checking one or two colas may be deceiving as to if the plant is ready to harvest or not. I have taken the lower branch and chopped it about two days ago and will sample it in a few days. I'm excited for this plant to be done soon.

👹 Oni Seed Co. I've been thinking of an all-Oni run for awhile now as he's been one of my favourite breeders since I started! I convinced myself I didn't deserve to run these until I felt more confident in my abilities so here we are, finally giving them an honest go! 🍭 Dub Trop BX1 // Dubble Trop x Tropicanna Cookie F1 🍓 Straw-Picanna // Strawberry Bananna x Tropicanna Cookies 🌿 Tropicanna Kush // SFV OG x Triangle Kush 🔥 Sunburn // TKT (Triangle Kush x Tangie) x Tropicanna Cookies 📦 Likely equipment/materials: Gorilla 5x5 ChilLED Growcraft x6 / 1000w DIY StepWell Super Soil + Amendments Dynomyco Mycorrhiza 📅 Day 1 - Soaked for 20 hours in RO and kelp. 99% Germination - Went into paper towel. 📅 Day 2 - 24 hours in paper towel. 📅 Day 3 - 100% germination! - Labelled and into Rapid Rooters 📅 Day 4 - Added super special diffused light shield lol - Started popping through! 📅 Day 5 - Success! Unfortunately, I accidentally decapitated a Dub Trop :( 📅 Day 6 - "Transplant" into first home! (Tray wouldn't fit 11, so one Tropicana Kush is hanging out in a veg tent with siblings) - Used BioBizz Light Mix (0.4-0-0) soil. 📅 Day 7 - New home, no dome, with special guest: a small fan. 💪 - That 1 day growth though, let's gooo!

Nous sommes maintenant en fin de stretch début de floraison. J’ai fais une petite erreur d’arrosage pas assez arrosé les plantes j’ai récupéré ça aujourd’hui 👍 Sinon tout vas bien premier engraissage avec terra bloom de plagron. L’odeur est super forte mais qu’est-ce que j’aime ça 😍🙏

In week 10 all remaining plants developed well, they have a healthy green color and grow copious amounts of new flowers every day. The trichome production has been going strong as well, therefore the plants start to smell stronger than before. The BLUE-MINT plant from Mountain High Seeds is going strong... she grows so many trichomes it has started to build so called RESIN RAILS on the fan-leaves...so AWESOME to see! 😍 The tallest plant is the Strawberry Sour-Diesel from OriginalDevilHarvest-Seeds. Even after being supper-cropped she grows taller every day! She also developes FAT and DANK buds on all branches with a HUGE AMOUNT of trichomes. The smell of this plant is VERY LEMONY, its so fruity and mouthwatering, I cant wait for her to be finished. The Serious Happiness from Serious Seeds does well, she also has big buds with lots of trichomes. The SNEEZE from Cnnbs.nl and Seedstockers is doing GREAT! She has a tremendous amount of trichomes on her buds, and has fat colas on all sidebranches. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work VERY WELL...all plants are doing GREAT. At this stage of flowering the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are dimmed to 100% and hang at 30 cm distance of the top of the plants. My genetic treasures LOVE the intensity and spectrum of those LEDs as you can see in the pics. Unfortunately I spot some traces on my leaves and discover some THRIPS on the backside of my fan-leaves. This insects eat away on the plant-sap and can decrease your harvest, if the infestation gets too much. Therefore I immediately order some bags with predator insects against THRPS from KOPPERT and hang them on each plant. These predators are the natural enemies and will eat the THRIPS from my plants.

Grow Diary Entry: Day 21 of Flowering Hello everyone! The two Gorilla Glue x White Widow plants are thriving at the start of week three of flowering. I performed a thorough defoliation and trimming session across both plants, focusing on removing excess fan leaves, shaded nodes, and some lower branches to maximize airflow and light penetration to the main colas. One plant is exhibiting an impressive stretch, prompting another slight adjustment to the Spider Farmer G4500 grow light height to maintain optimal distance. For the nutrient regimen, I introduced 4 milliliters of PK 13/14 into the 10-liter reservoir mix. Environmental conditions remain well-managed: * Temperature (Lights Off): 17-19°C * Temperature (Lights On): 26-29°C (Note: sensor proximity to the light bar slightly skews this reading). * Relative Humidity: 45% (Maintained consistently by the dehumidifier). Everything is dialed in as we head toward day 28. Best regards, Growfather.

A very cool strain to grow 😀👌 4 on 4 germination rate gave me 4 nice and robust plants. One plant was taller and different from the 3 others one. The red one was a real beauty 😍

Best flower 🔝 Strong flower. I love qualitty of HSO. everyone recommend This strain. 💚 Thank for watch. ✌️🏼🔝🔝🔝
