Drei Pflanzen. Ein Herz. Ein gemeinsames Ziel. Woche 11 markiert für dieses Projekt einen ganz besonderen Abschnitt. Was vor einigen Wochen als Experiment mit drei einzelnen Pflanzen begann, fühlt sich inzwischen wie eine einzige, perfekt zusammengewachsene Apricot an. Jeder Blick auf den Stamm erinnert mich daran, wie viel Vertrauen ich in dieses Training gesetzt habe. Drei Pflanzen wurden zu einer Einheit verbunden – und heute versorgen sie sich gegenseitig, als wären sie schon immer ein einziger Organismus gewesen. Genau solche Momente machen Homegrowing für mich so faszinierend. In dieser Woche hat sich der Fokus endgültig auf die Blütenbildung verlagert. Fast jeder Trieb produziert inzwischen kompakte Buds, die von Tag zu Tag dichter werden. Gleichzeitig beginnt sich eine schöne Schicht aus Trichomen über die Sugar Leaves zu legen und verleiht den Blüten bereits jetzt einen frostigen Schimmer. Besonders im Morgenlicht sieht man, wie die ersten Harzkristalle langsam das Licht reflektieren. Die Struktur der Pflanze gefällt mir inzwischen ausgesprochen gut. Durch das frühe Training gelangt das Sonnenlicht nahezu an jeden Budsite, wodurch sich die gesamte Pflanze sehr gleichmäßig entwickelt. Genau das war das Ziel dieses Projekts – keine dominante Hauptcola, sondern viele kräftige Blüten, die sich gemeinsam entwickeln. Natürlich zeigen die unteren Blätter inzwischen erste Alterserscheinungen, was in diesem Stadium völlig normal ist. Die Pflanze steckt ihre gesamte Energie inzwischen sichtbar in die Blütenproduktion. Genau dort soll sie jetzt auch investieren. Ich bin unglaublich gespannt, wie sich die Buds in den nächsten Wochen noch verdichten werden. Das Fundament ist gelegt – jetzt beginnt die Phase, in der Gewicht, Harzproduktion und Aroma Woche für Woche deutlich zulegen dürften. Jede Woche erzählt ihre eigene Geschichte. Woche 11 fühlt sich an wie der Moment, in dem aus einer spannenden Idee langsam Realität wird. Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen und bis nächste Woche! 🌱💚 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three plants. One heart. One shared goal. Week 11 marks a very special milestone for this project. What started a few weeks ago as an experiment with three individual plants now truly feels like a single Apricot growing as one. Every time I look at the main stem, I'm reminded of how much trust I put into this training technique. Three separate plants were carefully connected, and today they support each other as if they had always been one organism. Moments like this are exactly why I love growing so much. This week the plant has fully shifted its energy into flower production. Nearly every branch is carrying developing buds that continue to gain size and density every day. At the same time, the sugar leaves are becoming increasingly covered in sparkling trichomes, giving the flowers that beautiful frosty appearance. Especially in the morning sunlight, the resin glands are already starting to catch the light. I'm really happy with the overall structure. Thanks to the early training, sunlight reaches almost every flowering site, allowing the entire canopy to develop evenly. That was the goal from the beginning—not one oversized main cola, but many strong flowers growing together across the whole plant. Some of the older lower leaves are naturally beginning to fade, which is completely expected at this stage. The plant is clearly redirecting its energy into flower production, exactly where I want it to be. I'm incredibly excited to watch the next few weeks unfold. The foundation has been built, and now comes the stage where density, resin production, aroma and overall flower quality should improve dramatically week after week. Every week tells a different story. Week 11 feels like the moment when an ambitious idea truly starts becoming reality. Thank you for following along, and see you again next week! 🌱💚

Originally wanted to sog 25 strawberry banana from advanced seeds.. Those seeds been stolen🤬💢 So i threw 9 seeds that i already had 1 blueberry and 1 passion fruit didnt pop out, its 7 plants left so its not 100% germination rate.. Bought a new light 'lumatek 200w' cuz the actual 'lumatek 300w pro' is to powerful for this tent. So today is officialy DAY 1

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦🚽💦🚽💦 It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💨 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂️ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

D63/F15 - 11.21 - easily the most vigorous plants in the tent. The passion berry has unbelievable structure and stretch. She stands about 6 inches taller than all the others today. I have 5 more fem'd Passion Berry seeds. 😈Depending on how this one finishes and the bud profile, they might get their own tent next run. D66/F18 - 11.24 - Little LA sunset that was such a runt for so long is starting to put on buds all nice. Gonna defoliate her in 4-5 days. More pics to come of the big girls tomorrow after they get defoliated 👍 D67/F19 - 11.25 - Defoliation is complete! Everything is looking great! D69/F21 - 11.27 - the little LA Sunset is looking just dandy, a few more days until the last little defoliation session.

Transplanted the pint cups into 1 gals after 1 day flush. The bigger pot with new medium allowed the roots to rejuvenate. Defoliated and topped for the start of a 4-branch manifold mainline. Used LST to tie down the baby branches with garden wire.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 9 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) We move forward with our Lemon Cherry Gelato, now entering what we call Week 5 of flower (Week 9 from seed, 12/12 from start). This week brings something special — not one, but two expressions of the same genetic, grown side by side, each telling a slightly different story. The first Lemon Cherry Gelato remains untouched. No defoliation. Just observation, light guidance, and studio time. She stands full, natural, and honestly… stunning. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato took a different path — what started as a light clean-up turned into something closer to an “army-style haircut.” A full defoliation to open space, improve airflow, and allow light to penetrate deeper into the canopy. Two plants. Same genetics. Two approaches. Same goal — let them express. --- ### 🌿 How We Got Here This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning these autoflower plants never experienced a traditional vegetative phase. From the start, they grew with the signal that time is limited — and that shows in their structure. Instead of wide, heavily branched vegetative growth, they focused early on vertical development and flower initiation. Now, in Week 5, we see the result: dense bud sites forming across a compact but highly productive structure. --- ### ✂️ Why We Defoliate (And Why We Didn’t — Yet) The room is getting full. Really full. The decision to defoliate the second plant came from necessity: • Improve airflow • Reduce humidity pockets • Increase light penetration • Redirect energy toward flower sites On the first plant, we chose patience. Sometimes doing nothing is also a decision. Next week, she may follow the same path — but for now, she shows us what happens when we simply let her be. --- ### 🌸 About Those White Hairs (Pistils) What you’re seeing across all those bud shots — those bright white hairs — are pistils. They are part of the female reproductive system of the plant. Their natural purpose is to catch pollen. But in our case, there is no pollination. So what happens? The plant continues producing more and more pistils, trying to fulfill that biological mission. At the same time, it increases resin production as a protective mechanism. This is exactly what we want. More pistils → more potential bud sites → more resin → better final expression. --- ### Feeding Strategy (Why This Mix Works) We keep the nutrition consistent and intentional: • Terra Bloom → Base nutrients for flowering • Green Sensation → PK booster + metabolic support • Power Buds → Encourages flower initiation and structure • Sugar Royal → Supports terpene and sugar production • Pure Zym → Enzyme activity, root zone health • CalMag → Stability under LED conditions Nothing excessive. Nothing random. Just a balanced system supporting what the plant is already trying to do. --- ### 🌡️ Environment & Plant Feedback Room conditions: • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~1000 ppm On paper, some might question these numbers. But we don’t grow on paper — we grow by reading the plant. We follow leaf behavior, transpiration, and overall response (leaf VPD in practice, not just charts). The plants are drinking ~1.5L per day, standing around 1.2m tall, and showing strong metabolic activity. That tells us everything we need to know. --- ### 🍃 Small Imperfections We noticed minor leaf burn from under-canopy LED exposure. Nothing serious — and most of it was naturally removed during defoliation on the second plant. A reminder: Not everything needs correction. Some things just need understanding. --- ### 🎭 Meet Mr. Baggy This week also marks the official arrival of Mr. Baggy. You may have seen him around already… but now he joins the journey properly. Part observer, part assistant, part silent chaos. Welcome to the crew. --- ### 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Continued bud stacking • Increased density and structure • Possible defoliation of the first plant • Early signs of terpene development becoming more noticeable We are entering the phase where everything starts to connect. --- ### 🤝 Gratitude To everyone who passes by — The long-time supporters, the new ones, the curious minds, the silent observers. To the platform. To the partners. To those who love it and those who question it. All of you are part of this.

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.

Hallo Liebe Community! Leider gab es einen Nacktschneckenbefall den ich feststellte als ich am Samstag von meinen unvermeidbaren Terminen wieder kam. Zum Glück wurde Sie bisher verschont. Seitdem bin ich jeden Tag auf der Hut und habe den Untergrund der Untersetzer ein wenig Schneckenuntauglich gemacht. Ehrlich gesagt wollte ich los und was gegen Schnecken besorgen aber bisher scheint es gut zu funktionieren. Aber nu so ist es halt mit der Natur :-) Zum Wachstum Stamm und Blattwuchs machen sich gerade echt super, Seitentriebe entwickeln sich ebenfalls. Sie hat einen ordentlichen Sprung in die Höhe gemacht. Dünger Da Sie etwas empfindlicher ist auf der Düngeebene, hab ich sie vorsichtiger gedüngt. Sie befindet sich auch gerade in der Vorblüte. Ab dieser Woche geht es dann langsam mit Kalium und Phosphor los. Ich freue mich auf die Kommende Woche! Das Wetter ist aktuell eher grau und es regnet wirklich nicht wenig. Die Zugabe von Additiven im Outdoor Bereich sind durch das Wetter aktuell nur schwer umsetzbar. Ich hoffe sehr, dass jetzt bald mal wieder mehr Sonne kommt! Somit, euch noch eine angenehme und Erfolgreiche Woche gewünscht! Viele Grüße an die Community und Kollegen! LueRootsGrowGermany!

Im learning with this coco and the watering Im trying to improve this as I am allways over watering . She was deffo ready today as the leaves were wilting so shes had a good drink about 3 litres. The shogun nutrients seems to be amazing no deficiencies and super growth. I had too many plants in my tent so have reorganised everything to improve their health

Just got the girls in the coco with the floraflex drip shields. I have on girl in regular roots organic soil and some m3 super soil mixed in. They are under my DIY citizen cob led. Consists of 4-citizens clu048 -1818 90cri cobs running at 1050ma. Later in bloom I'll probably bring in my other DIY that consists of 2-citizens clu058-1825 90cri cobs running at 2.4 amps. Im hoping to really push these girls but this is only my second run with coco and advanced. We shall see!

04/02/22: Had some mishaps - I visited the grow room and various branches had fallen over due to the weight of the buds - big problem with large sativa breeds. I managed to use large garden sticks, cable ties and plastic clamps to secure them. Other than this plants all looking fine fine fine - large colas throughout - some are even starting to show brown pistils. smell is strong.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estas Papayton feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, el ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 25/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo pero están dando problemas por bloqueos, ya veremos como acaban. COMENTAR: que una de las 3 salió macho. Agradecer a Agrobeta por el kit Gold series que mandaron, siempre os portáis, unos maestros. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
