Sour Diesel — The Little Survivor Harvest & Trimming Report — Part 1 Before starting this report properly, we once again want to apologize for dividing the harvest documentation into multiple parts. Even when plants are smaller than the giants we have shown recently, we still believe every genetic deserves proper documentation, proper explanation, and enough time to tell the full story from seed to final medicine. That means: - harvest, - drying, - trimming, - curing, - smoke review, - terpene analysis, - and final reflections all deserve their own moments. And honestly? That is exactly what GrowDiaries is about for us. Not just showing finished buds. But documenting the entire journey honestly. The beautiful parts. And also the difficult ones. --- This week, we are talking about the smallest and most unhappy girl from the room: Our Sour Diesel. And honestly… in a room full of different genetics sharing the same environment, same feeding schedule, same lighting, same humidity and same rhythm, it is impossible to make every single plant perfectly happy all the time. Some genetics thrive. Some tolerate. Some struggle. And this Sour Diesel definitely struggled more than the others during this run. Compared to the monsters surrounding her inside the 8x8 room, she stayed smaller, more sensitive, and clearly less comfortable with the overall conditions. But here is the important part: She never gave up. And neither did we. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is remove the weak plant and move on. But when we have: - the space, - the patience, - the time, - and the love for growing, sometimes it is worth allowing plants the opportunity to recover and finish their journey. And honestly? We are very happy we did. Because despite all the struggles, this little Sour Diesel still delivered beautiful medicine. --- By Week 15 from seed, she was finally ready. Not the biggest plant. Not the frostiest in the room. Not the highest yielder. But still beautiful in her own way. Dense little flowers. Strong aromas already developing. Beautiful trichomes. Classic Sour Diesel energy hidden underneath the stress she experienced. And because the entire room was coming down together, her time also arrived. Could she maybe have stayed another week? Possibly. But in a mixed-room environment, timing becomes a collective decision. And honestly, we were happy with where her trichomes stood: mostly cloudy, a few amber, still some clear heads, but overall exactly inside the window we personally enjoy harvesting our medicine. --- After harvest, we broke the plant down branch by branch and placed everything carefully onto drying racks. Drying conditions stayed similar to the rest of the room: around 20°C and 60% humidity. Slow. Controlled. Patient. Exactly how we like it. After roughly 7–10 days, once those little branch snaps finally gave us that beautiful “click” every grower loves hearing, trimming time arrived. And honestly? For a smaller plant, this became a very peaceful trimming session. Trim bin on stage. Gloves on. Zamnesia curved scissors ready. Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always. And one by one, we cleaned her carefully. Those curved scissors truly make a difference for us because they allow easy access deep into compact flowers while preserving structure and avoiding unnecessary damage to the buds. Small details matter during trimming. Especially with resinous flowers. --- And despite being a smaller harvest… this girl was still sticky. Very sticky. The gloves quickly started collecting resin, giving us beautiful finger hash that we rolled gently into small charas-style balls to enjoy later. And honestly? One of the most beautiful parts of hand trimming is exactly this connection. Feeling the resin. Feeling the texture. Understanding the plant directly through touch. No machine replaces that. The trim bin also collected a nice amount of resin-rich material through the screen, which we later gathered into another small hash ball. Not massive amounts. But beautiful medicine nonetheless. And honestly? That always makes us happy. --- Final dry result: 54.2 grams. And while some growers may look only at numbers, we honestly prefer looking at stories. Because this plant easily could have been discarded much earlier in the run. Instead, she recovered, finished, dried properly, trimmed beautifully, and now rests curing safely inside one of the Zamnesia vacuum metal containers. For smaller personal jars like this, we absolutely love these containers because: - they preserve aromas very well, - reduce unnecessary air exchange, - protect terpenes, - and keep special flowers separated for long-term enjoyment. This became one of those “open only sometimes” jars. The kind of medicine you revisit quietly from time to time. --- We also decided to press part of this Sour Diesel to explore her resin potential. But… we will save that entire conversation for Part 2. Because that story deserves its own moment. And honestly? There are lessons there worth sharing. --- For now, we simply close this chapter feeling grateful. Grateful that we kept her alive. Grateful that patience won. Grateful that even the “unhappy plant” still found a way to become beautiful medicine. Sometimes plants teach us more during struggle than during perfection. And this Sour Diesel definitely reminded us of that. --- Huge thanks once again to: Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrients, Future of Grow LEDs for the lighting, GrowDiaries for the platform, and every single person following these journeys. The OGs. The silent followers. The new growers. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The accidental visitors. If you are here reading this… you are part of the story too. And honestly? We appreciate all of you. Part 2 coming soon: Smoke review, curing evolution, terpene profile, rosin discussion, and final thoughts about this little survivor. The journey continues. 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 💚 Quick little side note before closing this update: Apologies if some of the photo sequences appear slightly out of order or jump a bit between stages. With hundreds of files, multiple cameras, daytime/nighttime shots, trimming sessions, macros, and documentation spread across different moments, sometimes the gallery decides to dance left, right, up and down on its own 😄 But honestly… maybe that chaos is also part of the real grow room energy. Nothing here is over-polished or artificially perfect. Just real plants, real moments, real documentation and real passion for the craft. Thank you all for following along through every step of the journey 🌱

Week 5 flower is progressing well. bud sites are getting bigger with more pistils and trichs on leaves everyday. This will not be a 8 week strain I'm thinking 10 but will calibrate if necessary to get the full potential of this genetic as I can see she is a special one already!

☄️Salut les copains,👋 🍊J'ai récolté 4 plantes au 53 ème jour de floraison. Après avoir retiré pleins de feuilles de mes bourgeons, j'ai pesé 75 grammes de bourgeons sec sur la balance. C'est ok mais j'aurai aimer avoir plus. 🍊J'ai commis des erreurs durant cette culture et je n'avais malheureusement pas la possibilité de m'en occuper comme je le voulais. 🍊Je vous suggère de ne pas reproduire mon dosage pour les nutriments(+serait mieux) et ma fréquences d'arrosage(moins d'eau et + souvent serait mieux). 🍊Je compte modifier certaines choses pour ma prochaines culture en espérant améliorer le rendement 👌 🍊 🍊Je prévois aussi de faire du ice o lator avec les plus petits bourgeons et les feuilles de mes Lemon Orange, je vous partagerais ça ici et sur mon instagram bientôt !✌️ 🍊 🍊Mon Instagram ☄️ https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/

It’s going well, I think it could be better though. I decided to decrease the part A nutes a bit because she didn’t like the extra nitrogen and increased part b to full strength. Her lower leaves are fading, although I’m not sure if this might be a bit of a magnesium deficiency. I hope she fattens up some more and produces more trichomes. Any advice is welcome!

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

These plants were very easy to grow. They didn't get very big, but had a great yield for average sized plants. A tent full of them would offer a solid yield. Nice big, dense, sticky buds. The colas cured into some really gorgeous produce, and the flavors just keep improving with time. Yield: 8/10 Potency: 7/10 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 8/10 Bud density: 8/10 Another winner from AMS!
