Quick recap — seed to now (for anyone joining late) • 🌱 12/12 from seed • LSD genetics showing consistency and vigor • Early structure set without aggressive training • Environment prioritized over chasing charts • Feed increased gradually, never pushed • Plants transitioned naturally into flower • Defoliation timed after structure was established, not before This is calm, intentional growing. No panic moves. Why we changed nothing (and why that’s not doing nothing) Your room conditions: • 🌡️ Day temp: ~28 °C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • 📏 Height: ~40–80 cm • 💡 LED lighting On paper, some growers would panic at 28 °C in flower. But here’s the key difference between growing by numbers and growing by understanding: Under LED, leaf temperature ≠ room temperature. LEDs don’t radiate infrared heat like HPS. So while the wall sensor says 28 °C, the leaf surface is usually 2–4 °C cooler. And the plant does not “feel” the room — it feels its own leaf temperature. That’s where leaf VPD comes in. ⸻ Leaf VPD — the part most people skip VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) is simply the difference between how much moisture the air can hold and how much it actually holds. But here’s the nuance most charts miss: • Room VPD is calculated with room temp • Leaf VPD is calculated with leaf temp So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf = ~24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 our leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants are confirming that with their behavior: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing, no praying too hard • Internodes strong and structured • Uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes That’s the real data. We’re not ignoring numbers We’re letting the plant be the final authority. Stability here beats “fixing” something that isn’t broken. ⸻ Defoliation — why this time was heavier Let’s be very clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional defoliation. Context matters: • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, light penetration, humidity pockets all scale differently Sometimes a single plant wouldn’t “ask” for leaves to be removed — but the room does. Why you defoliated: • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Allow photons to travel deeper, not just hit the roof • Reset apical dominance and refocus energy on flowering sites Yes — i went harder than originally planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Plants are healthy • Root zone is dialed • Feed is stable Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. These girls are the first category. And importantly: we didn’t stack stress. No feed change. No environment change. No light shock. That’s how we “go hard” safely. What to expect next week (and what not to expect) Expect: • Slight pause as plants redirect energy • Fresh flower site definition • Upright posture returning after defoliation • Strong tops responding to improved light access Do NOT expect: • Explosive vertical stretch (that window is closing) • Deficiency symptoms (unless something external changes) • Need for immediate correction Next week is observation week again. Hands in pockets. Eyes open. ⸻ Gratitude — because this matters Let’s say it properly: • Thank you to GD for the platform • Thank you to the GD community • Thank you to the Discord family • Thank you to the OGs, the new faces, the quiet readers • Thank you to the lovers and the haters — both keep the wheel turning • Thank you to the sponsors, past and present • Thank you to everyone who believes growing can be calm, thoughtful, and honest This is a special report — because it’s not about hype.

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.

Day16: nutrients like plan Day 18: i added 2 secret jardin tled 42w bloom --------------------------------------------- She is doing well, all the other stuck a bit because of heavy deflotation i made last week🤷‍♂️😅 The small one in the middle is an Banana clone, which i made just for Fun. (I tested to clone with biobiss root juice, it took 5 days to root) 😁 Maybe someone have some experience with secret jardin tled can can tell me how far i should place them? 😅 Merry Xmas everyone 🎄🍌

i did some defoliation because it did get som sunburn on the mainstem. but everything is good. she is gorwing and puting on weight.

This will be the start of week #2 of seedling stage. Had an issue 😢 with my blue dream plant I believe I’ve might of over watered . It looks bad hopefully it can recover. Yield may be stunted really lagging behind. Also I have another blue dream seed so I’m thinking of starting that one fresh so I can pot into the finale medium. I didn’t want to use the cup but didn’t have enough soil at the time 🤷‍♂️ The strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌 auto and the power plant fem seems to be doing good 👍 so far. All in all I’m happy 😊 with how things have been going throughout my grow . I’ll will be feeding my plants nutrients and dropping the lights 💡 for the start of Veg next week. Let’s goooo… 😎😏

Endspurt! Letzte Woche hat begonnen. Bin sehr zufrieden wie sich alles entwickelt hat, nur leider hab ich an der seifuku 4-5 seeds gefunden ich hoffe das es nur eine teilweise Bestäubung war und nicht alles voll mit seeds ist

Salut a tous bonne semaine j ai baissé a 16h de lumière car la plante se met en repos bien avant que la lumière s éteigne du coup je suppose que 2 h de moins luis seront bénéfiques et je sens que ça va prendre des couleurs tous ça 🤞😜🌈 merci tout ceux qui sont passés j'étais un œil bon jardinage a tous 😉👌🌱🌲 Thx👇 https://marshydro.eu/ https://xpertnutrients.com/

Ok this week was a little exciting one of the plants developed an issue with one of its leaves. It's the only plant out of all of them it's hard to see from the picture but 2 out of the 5 fingers on the leaf had a burn and were shrivelled and also very very shiny. I looked it up and it suggested it was boron deficiency. I simply removed the affected areas and carried on as it was only localized too a couple of leaves and just on that one plant. The smaller plants are catching up now

Hi guys, Hope you are all doing well in these difficult times the upside is you can spend more time on this amazing hobby of ours. Another week has passed and i have a few updates we are still growing on a 24 light schedule and im thinking about switching to 18-6 for the following week-week and a half of veg fase, The growth is good but they are not very thirsty which concerns me a little but we will see what will happen. 3 of the plants have a little defect which shows it self in weird looking leaves and stunned growth don't know what is up with that but we will also see what the future brings, experience tells me that although the plant may look a little retarted that does not mean that these will not grow to be amazing plants with a big harvest very curious to see how they are going to develop further down the road. I stopped giving the Hy-pro Terra i love the company and their products but there is something with the Terra line that does not make me happy although it's very easy to use just one component as a base and a few optional additives it doens't give me the results i expect so i made the switch to Hy-pro Hydro Part A+B and within a day or 3 the plants have a fuller green color and the development of the plant overall is very noticeable and the stem is getting steurdier and thicker. As for the lights they are still hanging on the same height as i started and i gave it a little more power the plants are stretching towards the light just like i wanted and when i made the switch to 12-12 i will gradually move the light lower untill it's about 30-35 cm above tha canopy and i may or may not take out met scrog netting i haven't decided yet. That is all for this week Hope you all are doing good stay healty and keep it green Cheers, Nibameca

Literally she’s beautiful. I can’t even tell you how happy I am with how she turned out. The Rosin is crystal clear amber goodness. She tastes so creamy and sweet. The profile is just pure bliss. One of my all time favorite plants. Yields great. Dense as ever nugs. Tastes fabulous. Sweet seeds keep it up 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Unfortunately, I've let the Chaos Cake become too dry due to the fungus gnats, I had watered it too much, and afterwards, I just got a huge increase in the amount of fungus gnats. So, I thought it was best to let it dry out for a while. I think, however, I might have left it a little bit too long because it was incredibly dry. So when I watered it, it actually made the plant fall over. So I've had to prop it up with some metal garden pegs. Hopefully, she'll rectify herself if I make sure that the medium is properly. Watered. Other than that, the plant is doing well. Hopefully, she'll start becoming a little bit more sturdy next week! 😅 I have added an additional 100Watt UVA/UVB lamp, as the uppermost canopy of Acapulco Gold is blocking pretty much everything in the tent. Hopefully, this will aid the shorter plants in surviving until I can harvest it. There will be so much more space and lighting. Can't wait! 😅 Here is what I did this week. 28.9.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with; 💜 Sea K .5TSP 💜 Biosys .5TSP PH: 6.2 PPM: 565 The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thanks for checking in this week, and see you in the comments 👌💚🙌🧡😁

Nov 3rd- She responded so well to the higher feeding, i never knew a plant could be that hungry but it helped loads. The video is a sneak peak at my automated humidity control using cheap lugin wifi controls and smart life triggers with a manual knob humidifier so it turns one when notified of the humidity in the tent :D Note- There are odd markings on the leaves i dont know if this septoria leaf spot, or just a deficiency (looks like calcium deficiency but im not sure) i did accidently water without rasing the ph so that water/feed could have been from 5 - 5.5ph BUT these spots were appearing before hand. I also noticed the lower leaves yellowing so i increased the nitrogen a very small amount and it shaped up (itis yellowing again but i believe that may because of the possible ph imbalance) much better overall im happy so far!

Day 40 flower going start taking her some nuits and see how she is in a weeks time getting close

Easy to grow. Started out pretty rough due to my PH being way to low and honestly plants were underfed being in coco now seems the plants want food sooner then they did in soil. So around day 5 start slowly introducing Megacrop to them. Other then easy to grow fun as fuck smells so good. The yield im really happy with i was only expecting 3 zips tbh. The buds smell so good right out the herbsnow dryer and lightly trimmed and placed into jars for the curing process. I am beyind happy considering the timing and everything. Will be a lovely 420 treat. Thank you to everyone who watched me grow this one :).

Watering every two days this watering was a plain water with calMag other than that I give a couple of the plants 2 weeks then I'll see if they ready for the chop.

Did 2 flushes now. They have only one more week to go and they're finally ready.

2nd week of veg. Will be using Cal/Mag and Grow With Grease for watering when needed until I begin to see nute issues. 2/16 D2 adjusted LST and turned the pot for better light penetration. 2/19 D5 mid day @ 1430 3 potential main colas were topped. 2/20 D6 The girls received a lite feeding as we transition to another beautiful week of veg growth.

Well folks we chopped the Strawberry Cola 😁 And the third of the Strawberry Blast Series 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 Shes a killer for sure , incredibly frosty , and sticky , nice tight nugs wish I had more thoe guess I will need to grow her again , the smell is sweet and berry-licious but she's definitely got that cola whiff to her ......
