February 23, 2024 Day 8 Both babies got 250 ml top water today. I'll check on them in a couple hours and see how they are. Other than that. Nothing else to do. I did want to mention how very similar these two are. I think they're the same phenome. Although, it may be a bit early to really tell. That would be cool though. Beautiful green color and perfect little stalk. The true fan leaves are starting to show themselves now, so I can officially move them into the Veg Stage. So for this week, the focus will be watering and ensuring the light intensity is at the right level. I'll probably wait another few days before I think about introducing some nutrients. I'd like to start when the true fan leaves are fully showing. As I've said before, the soil is used, so I think a bit of recharge and Advanced Nutrients 3 Part Base solution would be a good idea. At a minimum of course. I'm counting more on the recharge to really kickstart the soil back to life. I'm definitely going to need to do a full watering when the first node starts and with the nutrient solution. However, I feel like I may need to do that sooner rather than later. Based on my last grow, the biggest plant had the most water in the second week of growth. I even thought I overwatered, but nope. So I'm going to try to replicate that. Especially because this is a super fast strain. They'll need all the water they can get. I'll start that on my next watering. I'll bump it up to 500 ml and focus mainly on the outer rim to help the rest of the soil get to the right moisture level without disturbing the environment they already have at the base. The light is still the same distance from the plants with the same PPFD. I'll start to focus more on DLI in the coming days as they grow. I have my light schedule for the week and plan to stick to it, letting the intensity slowly increase for the start of the next week and so on. I was considering increasing the power to 40% when I need to increase the intensity, but I have so much distance to play with, I might as well keep it at the same level until I get some nodes going. By flower, I'm hoping to have a perfect DLI of 45 by flowering. And hoping to be able to bring the light up to 100% for super deep penetration by then. I'd also like to get the light down to 24" for the veg stage. It seems to be the sweet spot for the coverage footprint. Also, I think I got the Tent Environment down for once. The night temp drops to around 68° while the day temp, although slow to climb, stays around 77°. I'm hoping that doesn't cause a stunting issue with the temp swing at such a young age. I think it will be fine. We shall see. The average temp is a bit low though. I may increase the night temp to 72°. That should put the average over 75°. The RH is pretty steady across the board around 72% with it dropping a little bit to 68% and up a bit higher at night to 74%. The VPD is also spot on averaging around 0.82 kPa. During the day it climbs up to 1.03 and at night drops down to 0.77 kPa. It's a bit low for my taste, but with the increased temp, I should see a nice round 0.83 kPa at night. Someday I'll get an automatic humidifier. Anyway, I know it was a lot, but it's a new week. See you tomorrow: Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 71.8% VPD: 0.82 kPa February 24, 2024 Kind of a big deal today for both ladies. So I in have a pair of Tropicana Cookies sharing the tent with these plants. The TC is showing signs of deficiencies. So to combat that, I added a 1/4 tsp of Recharge to a gallon of water. As I'm growing both strains as similarly as possible, I fed 250 ml to all 4 plants. Hopefully the packaging is correct and it won't burn these little babies. They are definitely hitting Veg already. But to be on the safe side, I covered them with a Starbucks cup and then watered them. It kept the soil from getting saturated at the base and will also help promote outward growth. As for watering itself, I feel like I should be watering more to prep the soil for when the veg stage really hits and the roots start to search more. I'd like to get to the point of runoff by the end of the week. Maybe I'll add another 250 ml with the cup in place again tomorrow. I will also need to water at the base in the next day or so. They are both growing the exact same still. I know it's only been a day, but a lot can change in that time, so nothing yet. Plus, what else am I supposed to document? Stems are strong. Leaves are a beautiful green color and the true leaves are starting to spread more. Lookin good. I'd also like to mention that it is 16° outside today, so even with the heat cranked, it's not really doing much. So low temps for a bit today. Around 70° much too low, but not much I can do until the heat catches up. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 67.6% VPD: 0.90 kPa February 25, 2024 Not much to do today. I'll either water 250ml today or 500 ml tomorrow. Either way, it's time to start wetting the whole container. I'm starting to think I should have done this the day before planting them. Oh well, I'll try that next time. For now, I'll stick with the gradual watering. It'll be increased again next week if needed. These babies look great. The leaves are getting longer and seem to be a medium width. Much like a true hybrid. So far at least. It's still pretty early to tell. We shall see. The light intensity is pretty good as well. No changes needed at the moment. However, I have a feeling I'll be dropping it an inch or two in a couple of days to match the schedule. I don't think I need to increase the power yet. I'll start increasing the power when I start training. It makes sense. I'll be pulling the tops down, so the DLI will be off a bit. But instead of dropping the light, increase the intensity so it can penetrate the new canopy right away. And if I can hover between 22" and 24" light distance, it should be perfect. I feel like that has the best footprint for this setup. Interesting Theory: Mostly for My Records: I may be slow on the info, but I think I figured out how brightness and distance make a difference in PAR and Brightness as well as footprint. The light distance defines the footprint. And the light power defines the brightness. Combining the two makes for a PAR reading. However I feel that the higher the brightness, the deeper the canopy penetration. Distance doesn't really change the brightness. It does change the PAR, but we can fix that with Distance. As long as we match the PAR reading to the proper level, there's no difference, correct? Maybe not. A less bright light even super close to a canopy would not be strong enough to penetrate the canopy because the power isn't strong enough. Even at the same PAR reading, it still wouldn't be powerful enough to penetrate. On the other hand a brighter light with the same PAR reading would work differently. Same PAR reading at a higher distance. But the power would also be higher. I feel that the light will penetrate deeper as long as the PAR remains the same. An example is a too large plant for the setup. Light distance was under 9" and power was down to 30% the PAR reading was much too high even with such low power. The light however couldn't penetrate below the first set of leaves and buds very well. But, in a smaller tent with a 100 watt light, I grew a wonderful plant where the light penetrated the canopy deeper because it was brighter and the distance was deeper. The plant wasn't nearly as big as it was in a 2x2 tent and 1 gallon container compared to the 3x3 tent and a 5 gallon container. But it had dense buds almost all three way down to the base. The larger plant had bud as far down as I allowed, as it mostly came out as popcorn, loose buds and some larf. This all brings me to believe that light power directly affects the canopy penetration and not necessarily distance. Distance plays a role with footprint and brightness, but not power. I also believe light heat makes a difference as well. A brighter light is warmer and plants like to be warm. So they will stretch to the warmth of the light as well. Less power means a cooler light and a less happy plant. My opinion of course. As I'm keeping this for my records, if anyone has any extra info, or correcting facts, please let me know. I'd rather have a theory be corrected or supported so I have the correct information. Doesn't matter how old this Diary is as I check all comments. Thanks in advance! Update: I decided to water in 250 ml of Recharge without the domes. I'll do another 250 ml tomorrow with the domes on and so forth until they get too big to fit under the dome. Then it will be normal watering. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 74.4% VPD: 0.57 kPa (a bit low, but I'm measuring 2 different probes) February 26, 2024 Mid-week update: Both ladies are looking great! Still wonderful green and growing nice and steady. They are about 6 cm tall or 2 3/4". DLI: 18.1 mol/m²/d PAR: 280 ppfd. I also watered in another 250 ml with the domes on today. I'll run the 250 ml daily until week 3 and then I'll change it up to 500 ml every other day for that week. After that, everything should be good to go for the flowering stage. I'll also install the basins after week 3. It should be excellent timing. They are 1 gallon basins. So refilling should be every other day or so. The goal with this run is to not have to top water at all. The basins should work perfectly as long as I set them up properly. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 70% VPD: 0.83 kPa February 27, 2024 So major problem in my opinion. My humidifier is blanketing the whole tent with the white powder they give off. I wasn't running my exhaust fan as I didn't need it at all. So I turned it on as low as possible and started one of my circular fans. Hopefully that solves the problem. I had to carefully wipe it off of Banana PP B. However, regardless of the powder, these two are growing quite nicely. Maybe a little slower than I was hoping, but still nice steady growth. They both got a little misting today as well as will be getting the 250 ml watering after the water comes up to room temp. This watering will be PHed to 6.0 and will be dome free. There was still about 400 ml of Recharge left, so I let it stay and just won't add more til next week when I start the base nutrients. I'll also be adding Cal/Mag. Other than that, they are still super green and super healthy. Hopefully they take off when the base nutrients kick in as well as the container soil being properly moistened. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.16 kPa February 28, 2024 Not much going on today. They both got their daily 250 ml watering PHed at 5.95. I didn't go near the base though. So it's kinda like having the dome, but not as precise. They are slightly reaching and the first set of true leaves are finally starting to pop out. The node is also growing at what seems to be a wonderful pace. Still a beautiful green and the stalk is nice and strong. Very straight as well. They do have a bit of a lettuce structure on the single fan leaves. It'll be fine. The true leaves look spectacular. Lighting is still pretty spot on. 2 more days and I'll be either lowering the light or increasing the intensity. At this stage I don't think I need to increase the power. The light distance is pretty far away. That gives me a good 6 inches of wiggle room. I'll increase the intensity when they start to grow a second node. On the other hand, I could keep the light where it's at for now and let the plants grow into it. Then I can increase the intensity when they get to that point. Week 3 from seed starts in 2 days. Which should be the true first week of Veg. I'll evaluate on what to do tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I need a DLI of 20 mol/m²/d starting next week. So I'll run the light at 350 ppfd or DLI of 22.7 mol/m²/d. Just above. It seems to be the perfect spot for these ladies. I'd also like to add that I've had zero issues with the 250 ml per day. It keeps the soil moisture just around 50%. Not sure if that means I'm not getting any deeper, but that's why I'll be starting 500 ml every other day next week. I feel that adding the extra 250 will help penetrate the soil better and a bit faster. Especially because those roots are going to start stretching past the dome width. And it's time for the roots to start growing down. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.09 kPa February 29, 2024 Today is the last day of the first week of plant life. Week 2 from seed. Both plants got the 250 ml top water without dome. Lighting looks great. Although, I noticed that a couple hours before lights out, they were both standing straight up like there was no light, but they still had a good 3 hours left. Strange or good? Either way, it'll be adjusted tomorrow to a DLI of 22.7 mol/m²/d. PAR will be 350 ppfd. I'm also going to try and lower the light a smidge. Maybe down to 26". We shall see what works best. Both plants are super healthy and right on track. Maybe a little slower than I'd hoped, but still steady growing. I feel like this will be a 4 week veg time. Greens are beautiful and she looks very strong. Leaves are growing nicely and I can only imagine they will take off when I start the Advanced Nutrients regimen tomorrow. At least I hope they take off. They should though. Tomorrow is around the time when they really start taking root. That in turn speeds up growth so I think I'm right on point here. I'm also going to be posting a video every week. Once the 2 start to show their differences and greater size, then they will each get a video every week. Update: I realized my plants were reaching a bit too much and leaning in toward the light. That being said, they definitely need more light, so I lowered it until I hit a DLI of 19.8 mol/m²/d. That way when I bring it up to 22.7 mol/m²/d it won't be hit so hard immediately. I should have dropped the light down a day or two ago, but oh well. It will be on point for the rest of the grow. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 62.3% VPD: 1.03 kPa The temp slammed down over 50° last night and I'm having a bit of trouble combating it. It'll definitely take a decent amount of the day to re-acclimate. However, it should be fine. I have the temp in my room set to 80° so that should combat the sudden cold.

Super dank will be growing again

#Day 123 #Week 6 flowering 💐 Oh my God, it's the 6th week of flowering The smell of children is crazy. This week I used advance hydroponics overdrive supplement at the rate of 2 mg/liter because it is really high quality. Thank you for your comment🙏🙏🌷🌷

Muy buenas mi gentee. Otra semanita más por aquí, ya en la semana 5 de crecimiento. Y se puede observar como va bastante bien, con buena estructura, buen color y buena ramificación. Se le están dando riegos semanales con bioestimulantes de The hype company y aparte dos riegos de agua más semanales. La temperatura la estamos empezando a subir, para esta semana cambiala a maceta final y pasarla a floración. Así que veremos cómo sigue la próxima.

Heute erste mal gedüngt es sieht alles sehr gut aus bisher, bin gespannt wie der stretch aussieht, ich habe 1 vegi Woche verplant hochzuladen 😅🤔 Seit dem 17. Sind sie in der Blüte. Wünsche euch ne schöne Woche! Fertilized for the first time today, everything looks very good so far, I'm curious how the stretch looks, I've planned to upload 1 vegi week 😅🤔 Since the 17th they are in bloom. Have a nice week!

The girls are looking healthy. Both Banana Purple Punch autos are yellow on the outer leafes and I don't know why. Maybe someone can help. Peace, Johnny ✌️

Fed with week 4 lotus: 4/27/26

We’ve decided it’s time to chop them down! 🌱✂️ The trichomes are fully mature now. One of the plants might even have gone a little past its peak, but I’m actually curious to see what kind of differences in effects this will bring. Always something new to learn with every grow! 🌞 We followed our usual drying process. The plants were hung whole for 3 days, followed by a wet trim. After 8 days of drying, we gave the buds a final manicure before putting them into jars with 62% Boveda packs for curing. Humidity was on point during drying, but unfortunately, we couldn’t keep the temperature consistent. I can’t wait for the first taste! The combination of aromas is amazing and truly unique. 💨💚 Blueberry Cupcake – Final Smoke Report 🍇⛽ Aroma & Flavour This has exceeded every expectation I had. The most complex and impressive flavour profile I’ve ever experienced. The first thing that hits is the sweet, tangy berry aroma, quickly followed by a distinct fuel kick. On the exhale, the flavour becomes smooth, soft and creamy, with a rich berry profile that lingers on the palate long after the session. The combination of sweet berries and gassy undertones creates a genuinely unique experience. Every layer adds something different, making this one of the most impressive flavour profiles I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Effects A true heavy hitter. The initial impact hits hard, almost like a knockout, before gradually settling into a euphoric, chilled-out state of mind. What really stands out is the way the effects develop. After that powerful initial hit, everything slowly eases into relaxation without leaving behind any strange vibes or an uncomfortable comedown. It feels like a smooth transition from the initial punch into a calm, euphoric chill. Bud Structure & Consistency There were some noticeable differences in bud structure between the three plants. One produced fluffier buds, which I suspect may have been more affected by the stress experienced during the grow, while the other two developed dense, chunky flowers. Despite these structural differences, the flavour and effects were very similar across all three plants. This suggests a reliable and consistent strain, delivering a comparable overall experience even when individual plants develop differently.🍇💜🔥 Blueberry Cupcake – The Complete Grow Journey This 19-week journey with three Blueberry Cupcake plants has been a real learning experience, full of challenges, adjustments, and rewarding moments.👨🏻‍🌾 From Seedling to Vegetative Growth🌱 The journey started with three Blueberry Cupcake plants in 19L pots filled with Plagron Light Mix, under the Mars Hydro FC4800 EVO 480W LED.⚡️☀️ The beginning was focused on root development and establishing a healthy foundation. Growth was initially slower than expected, but the plants gradually developed and became strong enough for training. Topping above the fifth node helped establish the foundation for a more structured canopy. During the following weeks, LST, defoliation, and canopy management became an important part of the process. There were a few setbacks along the way, including overwatering and mild calcium deficiency symptoms. Later, cold root-zone conditions caused another setback, slowing the plants down temporarily. With patience and adjustments, the plants recovered and continued developing. These early challenges were a reminder that healthy roots and a stable environment are just as important as lighting and nutrients. The Transition into Flowering??? After an extended vegetative period, the plants were switched to a 12/12 light cycle following 24 hours of darkness. The transition brought a strong stretch, with the plants growing approximately 20 cm per week at their peak. LST, selective defoliation, and lollipopping continued to help manage the canopy and support the developing flowers. As flowering progressed, the plants developed increasingly impressive buds. Support became necessary as the flowers grew larger and heavier, while resin production became more and more noticeable. One of the biggest lessons came from measuring the actual light intensity with a PAR meter. The readings were approximately 150–200 PPFD lower than expected, showing how important it is to measure conditions rather than rely solely on assumptions. Late Flowering and Ripening🍁 During the final weeks, the flowers continued to mature, becoming increasingly resinous and aromatic. The aroma profile evolved throughout ripening. The initial sweet blueberry and berry notes gradually developed more pronounced gassy undertones, creating a more complex combination of aromas. Two of the plants also developed beautiful purple colouring, adding another visual highlight to the final stage of the grow. By the end, the trichomes were predominantly milky, and the plants were approaching harvest maturity. Despite the setbacks earlier in the journey, reaching this stage with three well-developed plants was incredibly satisfying. Harvest, Drying and Curing⚔️ The plants were harvested and hung whole for three days before wet trimming. They then continued drying for another eight days, after which the final manicure was completed. Humidity during drying was on point, although maintaining a consistent temperature proved difficult. Despite this challenge, the aroma combination was already amazing and truly unique, building anticipation for the first proper taste. After drying and trimming, the flowers were transferred into jars with 62% Boveda packs to support a controlled curing process. The curing stage became the final step in bringing everything together, allowing the aroma and flavour profile to develop further. Final Thoughts on the Journey Looking back, this grow was about much more than the final result. It was a process of learning, troubleshooting, adapting, and understanding the plants better at every stage. From the early root-development challenges to the strong flowering stretch, resin production, changing aromas, and purple colours, every stage brought something new. There were mistakes and unexpected setbacks, but each one provided valuable experience for future grows. The final result is something to be proud of, and the evolving aroma profile has made the wait for the first taste even more exciting. A challenging journey, a lot of lessons learned, and three Blueberry Cupcake plants that made the entire experience worthwhile.

Small yield but great outcome on the quality , bad thing is by this point I still hadn’t realised it was a hermie

this lady from the off set was the fastest growing and largest plant from the off set growing bushy with lots of leaves needing the biggest defoliation's too get that important light down too the many branches below, she is drinking about 8 pints of feed a week and loving life , and her bud production is also coming along nicely too , i cant wait too try this one ,

The single plant of BADAZZ from RIPPER SEEDS harvested a very good amount of 67 gram of dried bud. The buds were not very big, but insanely frost and dense, she was the SECOND BEST YIELDER in the HOMEBOX tent. A VERY DANK VARIETY! She reeks of KUSH and also tastes like it when smoke a very fully, gassy aroma and taste, VERY DELICIOUS!

Week 6 | Godfather OG Another week, another significant push. Height went from 33cm to 58cm — the kind of jump that tells you the roots have found their rhythm and the plant has fully committed to veg. Looking at her from above, the canopy is opening up wide with strong lateral development on all sides, internodes tight and well-stacked. The structure is exactly what you want to see at this stage. Temperatures came back down from last week’s peak — 28°C daytime, 18°C at night. A more comfortable swing and it shows in the foliage, which is holding deep green across the whole canopy without any heat-related stress. No signs of deficiency, no spots, no curl. She’s healthy and running. Feed holding steady: CANNA Aqua Vega 3ml/l, CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH 6.2, EC 1.2 mS/cm. Watering at 1L per plant per 24h. Still in the 5L pot, natural daylight at around 17h. The 5L is going to start feeling small soon at this rate. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

First Full Day Out The Soil and She Looks Perfect 👌

These plants are loving life. Upped the food a bit this week, the dinamed was looking a little hungry. I will snip clones clones tomorrow. Hopefully I will have the flowering setup finished soon so I can move these girls over.

Monday 8th March - DAY 17 Leaves are curling slightly and I still have some yellow tips please can someone advise if this plant is healthy? Or what I can do better? Tuesday 9th March - DAY 18 She’s looking more healthy today which I’m pleased about I’m just letting her soil dry a little before I up the nutrients. Happy Tuesday! 🍁 Wed 10th March - DAY 19 Soil was looking a little dry this morning so gave her some more water and nutrients (lowered the dose from last time as advised by a few people.) Thur 11th March - DAY 20 She’s looking ok I think maybe a little on the short side but hopefully she’ll catch up over the next few weeks!! Fri 12th March - DAY 21 She’s rather small I think for day 21 I’m putting it down to trauma from the light drop? I’m not too sure but i could just be impatient!!

This week I have topped for a 2nd time with auto's it is a very tight window to train correctly. Now have 4 main nodes..mostly LST and light defoliation going forward
