This week the photoperiod girls continued to show steady growth and healthy development. Their leaves are a rich green, with wide blades and strong node stacking. The plants are branching nicely without excessive stretch, which means the 18-inch, 50% light setting is still working perfectly. The cover crop has taken off and is providing great soil protection, though it may need some trimming soon to prevent light competition. Humidity and pest prevention measures (sticky traps, nematodes applied earlier) are keeping things stable with no major pest pressure noted. On the feeding front, the plants have been living off the nutrients in their soil with no deficiencies showing. The plan is to water with silica tonight (Sept 3) to strengthen cell walls and prep them for training. Topping is scheduled this week as well — this will help shape the canopy and encourage even bushier growth moving into later veg. Overall, Week 4 has been smooth and productive. The plants are thriving in their environment, setting the stage for training and stronger structural development in Week 5.

Die automatics: fat banana wachsen alle gleichmäßig und gleich groß. Sweet zz wachsen 3/5wie die fat banana, 2 sind kleiner, wachsen langsamer und etwas krüppelig, aber mit etwas Zeit verwächst sich das erfahrungsgemäß. Die feminisierten: 1/3 critical Wächst normal, 1keimling wurde von bodenorganismen angefressen,aber kämpft noch ums überleben,1 ist nicht gekeimt. Also mittlerweile 2/3. Special queen #1 hat von der keimrate enttäuscht. Als Bonus seeds sollten sie besser keimen als 2/5... die beiden, die keimen, wurden auch von bodenorganismen amgeknabbert, eine hat es geschafft, eine kämpft noch. Wie letztes Jahr hab ich wieder n paar bagseed gezeigt.2 Samen aus meiner letztjährigen Northeim lights auto und 3 aus der letztjährigen fat banana Auto. Mal sehen, was das wird.... i love surprizes stelle mich drauf ein, dass die ruderalisgene sich nicht durchsetzen und es ganzjährige werden. Werden klein gehalten .Will mal testen, ob man mit seeds von Autos was anfangen kann.. Also bisher spielt das Wetter mit(das ist die hauptsache) und warme, sonnigen Tage sollen kommen. So muss das. Bis nächste Woche :)

☀️ // Day 66 🍁 Chopping Day Every grow must come to an end. I can't be the only one who always gets heartbroken when chopping down the plants. I mean, for 4 months you do everything for the plants that they're having a good life. You cheer every healthy sign from them, you want them to love life and from one day to the other, you kill them. That's just sad, isn't it? I am always telling myself that they're basically become a part of us through the endocannabinoid system, so that's their afterlife, right? Haha Anyway, this was a rather stressful grow. I had major problems with the soil, I just couldn't control it. I think it's because of the Peat Free stuff I mixed in, it somehow fucked up the buffer capabilities of the soil or something like that. But that doesn't matter now, I got it under control, the buds developed perfectly but the leafs are damaged by the tips. So it's not the most beautiful plant overall but the buds are very marvelous. They have a rather unique shape, like a pyramid but with an almost flat head? And their purple hue is just breathtaking. It's a very pinkish purple which I haven't seen by myself until now. I am very happy with this genetic in that regard. But let's see how the buds really turn out. I am aiming for a 10-14 day drying period. With 55% humidty during the first 24-48h with 19 °C. I will rise the humidty to 60 % after that period until the end. In that way, I want to make sure that the critical moisture gets out in the first 1-2 days but after that it should be a very, very slow drying to preserve as much cannabinoids and terpenes as possible. Thank you so much for hanging around. I really love this community and I wish that we all stay around for many years and celebrate this beautiful hobby together. The final review will be up in about a month, so stay tuned for the harvest update! Peace, Ganjin 🌱

LST, HST and defoliated second time, Fimmed main 1x, fimmed all tops 14 days later, fimmed all resulting tops 3 weeks later. well over 100 tops and counting, removed all tiny branches off the mains. pre loli.. lol Ill let em up in a few days. should be well beyond the 20" circumference of the 20 gal pots. Gonn a flower 2 in the space , and 2 in my newly acquired 48x48x80 tent. Shopping a few Flowering beasts to put in for the next phase. Love to get 2x https://opticledgrowlights.com/products/slim-720s-dimmable-led-grow-light-720w-triple-dimmer-3500k-uv-ir-lh351h-v2. Oh well, we will see. HAppy growing peeps!

Week 9, day 57.... started this week with a feeding of pH 6.0 plain water. Hope she start to fatten up really soon. I'm going to take it a little light with the feeding this week because I gave her some nutrient burn.i also noticed some of her older leaves are getting a little yellow, is that something I should worry about? Day 58..... she's ok, took a few pictures of her leaves that has those dull spots. Hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction. I see very little progress with her buds swelling. I do have a heater in my tent which is right next to this plant(not facing or touching) and I was reading about heat stress, could it be that she's this tall because of it? I did switch around my 2 plants in the tent. I'll monitor and let you guys know in a few days. Day 59.....this plant is really big, she's taking up more than half of my tent. About the deficiency, I don't know exactly what it is but I tested the ppm runoff and it's about 3500 which is really high. I honestly never tested the ppm of my feedings. She's going to get a nice flush and I'll be monitoring my ppm from now on. He buds do seem to be fattening up slowly but it's noticable every day. Day 60.....well her leaves are looking better but you can see the nutrient burn on the tips. This plant looks very different from the rest of @fast_buds girl scout cookies. I just hope she swell up before she's ready to harvest. Day 61......took a look at her trichomes and to me they look milky. I don't know if her buds will get any bigger. 😥. Day 63......last day of week 9, gave her pH 6.0 plain water today. Took a macro shot of her trichomes, let me know what you guys think.

03/29 Let em dry back for a week fed em a tea turned Blumat back on after calibration and cranked the light and adjustment to environment. Through them into a fit so I turned light back down and cranked vpd again. These girls are being super finicky this time around all root zone issues starting to think it's genetic never dealt with soany root zone issues before

This week I decided to use mother nature and let the cheese finish off outside, currently in winter in the Southern Hemisphere with good mild temps during the day and colder evening temps that should allow the plant to go into trich production over drive before I decide to chop. Plant has been flushed as well in preparations of chop, I am torn between chopping her this week or next week, I do hope that the amber trichs don't come out all of s sudden and turn this grow into sleep medicine🤣🤣 I also have three clones left over that I am running in the tent on a 16/8 light schedule

Harvest completed for Glueberry OG! Round 2 of this strains grow was majorly different from round 1. Buds are very dense and insanely sticky! Will update in 7-14 days with dry weight and smoke report. Thanks for checking out my grow 👽🌳🔥 09/01 dry weight of 96 grams. Primarily taste of fuel with a hint of berries. Nice balanced high! Output was better with round 2, taste/aroma is also better this round.

The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

This last week shit got really frosty !! The monkey berries is wicked the terps are creamy sour milk and cherry halls mmmmmmm I’m thinking about 7 to 10 days more then start flushing the monkey berries . Slurricane is putting on the weight like there’s no tomorrow and frosty too with 4 weeks to go she will be my best run by far, terps grapefruit and sweet skunk

There is a timelapse of this past week! This plant, the blueberry, is in the background. Early this week I transplanted the rock wool cube into my DWC system. I pH'd the water, but otherwise did not provide nutes for a few days. The grow tent is now on an 18hr light period. Sometime in the middle of this past week, this blueberry started wilting! In response, I provided the nutrients listed above, with the addition of 1 gallon of (hard) tap water to provide calcium. Unlike my GSC, the nutrients did not fix the wilting, but the wilting did go away after 2-3 days. I had some humidity troubles, so I resorted to flooding the bottom of my tent. This does seem to help maintain humidity around 50% RH. This plant is growing asymmetrically! It's first set of "real leaves" is not even. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Going to give it 1-2 more weeks in vegetative. Want to fill out the table as best as possible before switching to flower. It is still actively growing as I am lightly defoliating to maintain good lighting throughout the plant. She is getting thirstier so watering on average about a gal every 1-2 days.

I'm writing these words to say goodbye soon. A passion, a run of time spent by your side, pampering you, I'll smoke you every day.

7/27/2023- Prep Tent and system are cleaned and ready to go from my last grow. I have submitted my Journa for the Diary of the Month Competition here is to hopeing for good resutls. 7/28/2023- Germination Day 0- Seed initiation Well lets get this new Grow started.. So My Dad Sent me a custom Landrace Strain that he wanted me to grow out and Breed for him. The Strain is Called Black African Magic: Black African Magic, Alson known as BAM, is a Sativa pure land race strain, It's classified under the Cannabis Sative species and its genetics come from Africa-the Ituri Forest in the Dmocratic Repoublic of Congo. The Effects are said to be Very Psychedelic, used for Stress managment and for better sleep and rest. This is my frist Land Race so we, will see how this goes together.. RO Water Used Added Hydrogen Peroxided 8/1/2023- Germination Achieved G-Day1 Popped her head above the root riot today to say hello.. Woot first challenge when dealing with an unknown seed and a new Strain is getting the seed to pop and the lady to show life. 8/2/2023- Germination Day 2 Took the root riot out today and it was soaked not good plant drowing again. I am still having a hard time finding the right blance for where the water should be to keep the root riot moist and not soaked. I had to drain some of the water out of the root riot plug to help give a little oxygen. I also removed some of the water. 8/3/2023- Germination Day 3 Looking good stretching her leaves out to let in the lights 8/4/2023- Germination Day 4 Looking good a few days until I put them into the RDWC System and get this thing rocking and rolling. 8/5/2023- Germinaiton Day 5 Looking good will probably plant tomorrow if the roots are still looking good. 8/6/2023- Plant Day- Germination Day 6 Planted into the RDWC System today. Joy when they go into the system as long as we dial that in right this will now be a great grow.. Survived the hard part.. 8/7/2023- Germination Day 7 Everything looks like it is going good, she is showing some damage on the lower leaves from the over watering in the cloning machine but right now I don't see any new damage. 8/8/2023- Germination Day 8 Added the first Nutes today, to help support root growth and to help give there first jump to growth. TPS SILICA GOLD-.5mil/Gal Root Drip- 1mil/Gal GH FLoraMicro-1mil/Gal GH FlroaGro-1mil/Gal GH FLroaBloom-1Mil/Gal ORCA-.5mil/Gal 8/9/2023 - Germination Day 9 Everything is looking good new growth looks like it is praying and they are looking happy. I will take off the damage leaves probably tomorrow. 8/10/2023- Germination Day 10 She looks like she is on track the roots are starting to come out of the basket very small but starting. 8/11/2023- Germination Day 11 Cleaned up the dead leaves... Day 1 VEG tomorrow.. Water Change Day and first real meal...

So all the pictures that I posted on this week's diary are just pretty much random. The only thing I did for this week was give more toppings so each plant was topped four times. As of now, each plant will have a total of eight main colas, if I don't do anymore tops that is... I didn't have time today to really do a detailed post on every cultivar and the difference between phenos. so for week 6 I'll do a detailed cover of my girl so I'll do a female comparison for each breeder and cultivar!!

The ph in the soil is very low, causing the plant not to grow at all, very sad.<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">😅</font></font>

Start of week 12: 4/29/25 Fed with nutrients: 4/29/30 Fed with plain ph water : 4/30/25 Fed with nutrients: 5/2/25 Fed with ph water: 5/5/25 End of week 5/5/25
