Still a few week before harvest. I have stopped adding N as much as possible to my nutrient solution. It might help the bud swell up a little more the last few weeks. Also been adding big bud and bud candy from Advanced Nutrients. I will feed the girls 2 weeks more before going into flush. My soil Sour diesel is ready for flush anytime soon. #1 (back right) have suffered from being to close to the light while also not having enough airflow around it. Have fixed the air problem but cant bring my light any further up. kept around 22 cm from the tallest branch 30< cm from the rest which is the minimum recommended. They smell really pungent and the suger leafs and buds are coted with crystals. My autoflower (front left) is doing good too and i really cant wait to taste it. A good week (kinda)

Wanted to give a shout out to everyone that helped my first growing experience. I believe I have learned so much from all 3 growing experiences especially as a first timer. Good genetics are where the REAL dank comes from. Barneys Farm did not disappoint. These buds grew so smooth I felt like a master grower. I believe this strain could get even bigger results with the right training. I will definitely grow this strain again in 3 gallon pots with lots of HST. With minor training she turned out pretty swell. The Grow: Growing this strain as I mentioned is practically a damn joke. She responded so well to growing in a solo cup(weeks1-3) that I practically gave her a few ml of water out of a dropper every other day and sometimes 3 days without water. As she grew, I gave some minor training, topped them, and tucked some leaves. I believe with the right training and an extended training regiment in the vegetation cycle for this strain, you could kill yields with this frosty/fast flowering strain. Any defencies I had were quickly cleared with cal-mag. She never actually ran into any problems besides some light burn due to the LEDs being too close in super late flowering. As she grew, her leaves looked more vibrant each day. Her buds simply swelled over time and became so frosty that I have no idea what I am in store for.... She got a good scent around week 3 in flowering and every week after that became more dank smelling each day. She smells like nuts, citrus, skunk, and lemon zest. I believe this strain is a hit when it comes to growing. Overall I'd give her a 10/10 out of any strain I've grown for now. She responds well to any training, nutes, and transplants. This is by far a strong resistant strain. She smells good, grows strongly/quickly, and hopefully the smoke is as good as she smells or eventually tastes. The phantom og is an easy growing strain as I've mentioned several times. I want to also try a better nutrient line(fox farm)for increased results. Not downing the ole OG fox but there is a new line of nutes now days. Until next go on these girls🤘🤤😎 The Dry: These buds are 1 to 2 inches thick. Nice and dense. I love the aroma of citrus and hops they give off. We are currently on day 2 of drying and I can tell yah, these buds smell NOTHING like chlorophyll. This strain is super powerful with terpenes. I believe the cure is gonna give a knock out smell, that's how strong it is. As she is drying, I am drying her at 66 degrees which is nice and cool, a small USB fan at the bottom of the tent. The fan was pointed outwards for the first 2 days. Now going to have it blowing more inwards to the wall to give a little less airflow for 1 to 2 more days the rotate back for a finish on the dry. So far the drying is turning out really pleasant and easy. Day 4 of drying and the outside of the buds are starting to crispn up. Another 2 or 3 days and she should be fully dried. We are now dried and jarred. They are crispy on the outside and the smaller stems snap. They will continue drying as we burp the first couple of days. Ended up taking the buds down at 5 days. Ended up being perfect for these dense nugs! The Cure: We are idk how many days into the cure. Probably 3 to 4. My roommate and me are taking a smoke now. She weighed at 2 oz give or take. Not the biggest outcome but total harvest between 5 plants all together that includes GD not included, 7 oz which I cant complain. Learning that bigger yields will come from better training. I did however get the sticky icky/trichome regiment down on this girl. I will post more pictures once I get to 2 weeks into the cure. I will say her buds are so good damn sticky. Excuse my language haha but let's be honest, this shit is dried and being rotated/cured and it's what I'd call the sticky shit you'd wish you'd had. 10/10 on quality bud Barney! 🤘 curing is still going well. Very sticky buds as I mentioned earlier. We are weeks or close enough to say these buds have cured up nicely. They have mainted an easy 61 to 62 rh after the first burp. I really over thought this and now its time to perfect the process! The buds turned into hard dense fluffy nugs.( no commas needed). The Smoke: When you smoke this strain, you feel an earthy taste that initially hits your throat with a hint of diesel on your tongue. Other flavors include berry and nuts which are very prominent in the smoke. The high hits you with a very dry mouth and a slight blur to your eyes. You get a sense of relaxation and happiness with short giggles every now and then. We loaded a huge kied bowl from some of the bowls ard my roommate and I were absolutely blazed. I smoked both phenos and the one phenos that frosted more than she fattened, really knocked me on my ass. 9/10 for a delicious smoke and potent high. The high is perfect for regular smokers especially when you want to change it up. The smells is also amazing in the jar with that nutty, berry, and diesel undertone. As the high hits you with all it's great effects, it hits with a moderate body buzz and strong head high. You'll notice that you cant speak full sentences all the time or you blank out and forget things. Phantom Og is a great evening smoke because once you let the high start climbing down, you start the feel the sandman on your eyes. The highs greatest focal point is the sense of focus. I AM NEO. You may not be able to dodge a bullet but you will kill some time lol. As long as you keep puffing however, you'll always be in a wonderful state of mind. 👽🤞👌 Ups and downs: The ups and down with this grow really derive from my own techniques or any issues or "ups" I had during the grow. Genetically speaking, I had two different phenos of phantom og. The 3 gal fattened much quicker and showed a significant amount of frost while the 1 gal pheno showed double the frost but not as fat of buds. I dont believe this to be a pot size difference obviously. This wasnt a problem but instead I was able to try two different phenos/potency levels based on the new amount of trichomes on the smaller gal. The strain grew extremely well even with higher heat levels and even lower humidity levels during the grow. I never noticed defencies throughout the grow besides the fast amount of water these girls can drink! Make sure you feed these girls nutes in week 3 or 4 or at LEAST start. You'll noticed rapid nitrogen defencies later in growth or any other common decency if you dont start the nute regiment early. I used lst as it shows in the diary. I didnt do much besides topping and pulling some branches but I did learn she responds well to hst. During the veg. Period, I accidentally snapped two branches off each node. Just enough to snap the skin. She recovered quickly without any help(duck tape included) and in return you could see bigger bud growth on the affected branches VS. The branches that were not affected. Phantom Og also produces moderate size buds and can create heavy yields with this training method. This was one of my only downfalls but this grow was for experience. I want to thank everyone for tuning in to my grow. The bud as I said is great for experienced smokers with thc levels of 18% to 24% and a flavor out of this world. After a full report, I will be updating this strain to 9/10. Thanks for looking 💨🤘 UPDATE* 12/9/19 MY FIRST, growing experience won 3rd place in the November 2019 Newbie of the month contest. Thanks everyone that followed and liked 🙏 2020 is going to be a beast🤘 UPDATE* Nebula of @growweedeasy has featured this diary in the 2019 Edition article on growweedeasy.com Thanks everyone for the support☺️

Another week is gone. I have done some defoliation to make airflow better and give as much light to the bottom nugs as possible. Plants are tough, smell beautiful and buds are getting some size already. Cheers!

Week 10 From Seed | Week 6 Flower 🌸 Quick Recap — How We Got Here 12/12 from seed, no wasted time—just a straight path into expression. From early on, these girls showed intention. Strong structure, steady vertical growth, and a clean transition into flower without hesitation. We kept the environment stable and let them lead: • Temperatures around 26°C • Humidity steady at 60% • Balanced feeding, building up gradually No forcing. No overworking. Just guiding and observing. And now… here we are. ⸻ Current State — Week 6 Flower This is where things get real. The room is alive right now: • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • CO₂: ~1000 ppm They’re drinking around 2L per day in 14.5L soil, which says everything about their metabolism and comfort. Structure is holding beautifully— Stacking tight, forming dense flowers, and starting to push real frost. The smell? Strong already. The kind that tells you something serious is building. Everything feels aligned: Healthy leaves, active uptake, no hesitation in development. This is the phase where the plant shows you what it’s truly capable of. ⸻ Observations • Buds are thickening daily • Resin production is clearly ramping up • Strong terpene expression already present • Plants are fully in sync with the environment • Water uptake confirms high metabolic activity They’re not just growing… they’re performing. ⸻ Looking Ahead — Week 7 Next week is where things usually shift from “building” to “refining.” Expect: • Increased density in the flowers • Noticeable swelling across all sites • Frost development accelerating • Terpenes becoming louder and more complex This is where patience matters. Stay consistent, don’t chase—just support what’s already happening. ⸻ Gratitude 🤝 Big thank you to everyone involved in this run: • The genetics — for the blueprint and expression • The gear — LEDs, tents, airflow, all the silent workers behind the scenes • The sponsors — for the support and trust • The GrowDiaries community — To the OGs, the long-time supporters, the new followers joining the journey… To the ones who show love, and even the ones who question—respect to all of you. This space grows because of all sides. And of course—GrowDiaries itself, for giving us a place to share, learn, and evolve together. ⸻ Week 6 flower. Fully in motion.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

I touched one of the leafs with trichomes on it. Smells VERY citrusy/lemony/fruity. Very excited for this strain! Buds are very solid. It's a hybrid with Durban Poison X Rainmaker (Citral Skunk x Mandarin) x Gorilla Glue #4.

My beautiful prince's is looking even better now that she's not having to deal with those freaking fungus gnats that were eating all the roots of my plant, I've got rid of them just by watering with a nematode called steinernema feltiae if you're having or have had the same infestation just apply predator nematodes like steinernema feltiae guys!

Acapulco Gold has grown out of control, the lights can't go up any further, and the plant is burning on the LED's. This really is a massive plant. Let's hope the smoke is good, as it looks like there will be a substantial amount here by the end! 😅😁👌 I have been turning the plant around to try and minimize the damage from the heat and light. Other than that, the plant is looking really good, this is going to be a long one for sure! I can't wait to see how the colas form. 6.8.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.1 PPM: 425 12.8.25: I watered with 3.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.2 PPM: 349 13.8.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 351 17.8.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 2ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 391 The plant has been drinking very heavily, and it was time for a top dress. is what I used. 9.8.25: I top dressed with the following organic dry amendments; As a base for the dry amendments I used: 🧡 Worm Castings - 1L 🧡 Coco - 1L 🧡 Perlite - 1L Dry Amendments: 💚 Ecothrive Life Cycle 2 TBS 💚 Ecothrive Bloom 2 TBS 💚 Ecothrive Charge 2 TBS 💚 Diatomaceous Earth 2TBS 💚 2 TBS Cinnamon I watered this in with 9.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 with; 💜 1ml Ecothrive Trace.

After the repotting at the end of week 4, I watered my plants for a couple of days only using water (day 31 - 34). On day 34 I added some small LST cords, and watered. On day 35 I switched my lighting schedule from veg. to flowering, and watered. On day 36 I watered with nutrients. On day 37 I watered. On day 38 I defoliated and watered with nutrients. (The amount of nutrition used this week is combined at the top for the 3 plants.) During defoliation, I cut the inside looking leaves, and the big overhanging sugar leaves. Here and there I also cut some new growth on the inside of the canopy because it wasn't getting enough light. I noticed a very small amount of leaves which was yellowing on the bottom of the plant and cut them aswell. These we're from when the plant was just growing. All in all, things are looking good. Still searching for a solution for the trellis, because the things I came up with weren't cutting it. Probably going to fix one from PVC-piping. See ya!
