Buds are swelling up coming up to the final couple of weeks in flower. Will push for another week or two as trichomes are now mostly cloudy. Some of the tops have been pulled out slightly just to try an increase light penetration

Estamos en las ultimas semanas de engorde, estamos tratando de tener un vpd dentro del rango 1.2 o 1.3 kpa. La T con luz prendida llega hasta 26 y de HR no pasa de 55 y no baja de 40. Con luz apagada llegamos a 21 de T y la HR entre 40-50. Vamos bajando ph de a poco y tambien la EC, buscando llegar al final de la semana en 1.3 o 1.4.

The buds are forming! Changed to a nicer light recently, light is great, although my mars hydro 600w did me justice. This new one I got of amazon for under $100 is 1000 watt led and crushing it. It has increased temps significantly which is a bit tough for me to control given my tent is in a closet. Also it is starting to getting less humid outside, so I reduced airflow in the tent to keep the humidity at 50. I have a small humidifier coming soon (oddly a Corporate work gift lol).

Week 14 from seed — or around Week 9 flower in this 12/12 from seed journey — and today we focus on our Sour Diesel. The small one. The difficult one. The “unhappy” girl of the room. And honestly? Sometimes those are the plants that teach us the most. This report also represents the beginning of harvest time for her, although we decided to divide the final documentation into multiple updates because there were simply too many photos and too much to talk about in a single post. So this entry focuses mainly on the living plant itself: her structure, morphology, resin production, density, colors, trichomes, and overall expression before harvest. The next report will go deeper into the harvest process itself — cutting, trimming, drying, observations after chop, and eventually the smoke review once everything is properly cured. Now, let’s address the obvious part first: yes, she stayed much smaller than the rest of the room. And that’s completely okay. When growing multiple genetics together in one shared environment, perfection for every individual plant becomes impossible. One room cannot fully satisfy the exact preferences of every cultivar at the same time. Some genetics dominate the environment naturally, while others adapt differently. Sour Diesel in this case never became the biggest or happiest plant in the tent, but she never stopped fighting either. And honestly, there is something beautiful about that. Despite her smaller structure, she produced dense, compact flowers with excellent frost coverage and surprisingly solid stacking. She may not have filled the room vertically, but she absolutely made her presence known up close. Sometimes quality hides inside smaller frames. Morphologically she developed in a very compact way compared to the taller spear-shaped plants around her. Tight internodes, clustered flower sites, chunky calyx development, and resin-covered sugar leaves gave her a very distinct look in the room. As harvest approached, the flowers started showing more maturity signals everywhere: pistils darkening and curling inward, calyxes swelling harder day after day, resin heads thickening, and that beautiful late-flower texture beginning to appear across the buds. And honestly, the trichomes are looking gorgeous. Frost levels became impressive for such a small plant, especially in macro range. Under magnification, the flowers almost stop looking real. Tiny crystal forests everywhere, sticky sugar leaves, swollen resin heads, and layers of texture forming across every surface. Some trichomes are still clear, many are cloudy, and small amber signs are beginning to appear here and there — exactly the kind of progression we like to monitor carefully during these final stages. The colors also started telling the end-of-cycle story. Greens slowly softening, pistils shifting into orange and brown tones, flowers tightening up and looking heavier despite the plant’s overall small size. She may not have been the easiest plant in the room, but visually she absolutely earned her moment. And of course, we cannot ignore the newest member of the inspection team: our tiny plastic fly friend. He or she took the job very seriously this week, carefully inspecting trichomes, density, calyx development, and overall quality control during the photoshoot. Thankfully, the inspection passed successfully. No complaints from management. This update is also a reminder that not every successful plant needs to be gigantic. Sometimes growers become too focused on size and forget to appreciate resilience, uniqueness, resin quality, flower density, or simple beauty. Sour Diesel may have remained compact, but she still carried herself with character all the way to the finish line. For now, we continue observing and documenting her final living moments before harvest. The next update will dive much deeper into the actual chop, trimming, drying process, and final impressions once she officially completes her journey. So if anyone has been following this little fighter since the beginning, stay tuned — we are not finished with her story yet. Massive thanks once again to everyone involved in this journey: Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the support. The sponsors and equipment partners helping make these projects possible. Grow Diaries for providing the platform. The growers sharing advice and positivity. The longtime followers who have been here since the first weeks. The new people discovering the project now. The skeptics, the critics, the silent viewers, the supporters — everybody crossing through here adds something to the experience. From grower to growers, thank you for following along. And to our little Sour Diesel: small, stubborn, frosty, and unforgettable. — A quick note about some of the macro photos and “photo merges” shared in this diary. A lot of the close-up images shown here are actually focus-stacked macro photographs. That means they are not a single photo, but a combination of many images merged together to create one final detailed shot. Depending on magnification and depth, some stacks here were made from around 50–60 photos, while the biggest one in this update reached around 255 individual frames. Why? Because at high magnification, the depth of field becomes incredibly small. Sometimes only a tiny part of the trichome or calyx is in focus at once. So we take many photos while slowly shifting focus through the subject, capturing different layers of detail from front to back. After that, all frames are merged together using Affinity Photo 2, creating a single image with much more depth and sharpness than a normal macro shot could achieve alone. Final color adjustments and edits are also done afterward to better represent what we experienced visually in the studio. So behind every “simple” trichome photo there is actually a surprising amount of work, patience, and processing involved — but honestly, it’s worth it. These plants become entire microscopic worlds once you get close enough. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

- wurden vorgestern eingesetzt - schaut jetzt alles noch ein wenig karg aus aber man kann auch schon langsam das Cover Crop wachsen sehen - Temperatur ist bei ca. 25°C, VPD ist auf 0,9- 1,0 ca und Licht ist erstmal auf 230 - 250 PPFD eingestellt Zum Beet: - Ca. 120 Liter Beet - Schwarzerde von Sonnenerde im 4. Run(nach 1. Run 7-10 L frische Erde aufgefüllt), unten grober Bims zur Drainage und feiner Bims im Substrat als Wasser-/Nährstoffspeicher, Regenwürmer, Asseln, Springschwänze bzw allgemein Nützlinge, Bokashi, IMO - Bisher wurde auch alles was von Pflanzen im Beet abgeschnitten wurde, einfach wieder hinzugefügt um Nährstoffe zu recyclen, mal schauen wie lange es anständig funktioniert ohne Reamending - Almicanna Cover Crop Mix + Mulch/Pflanzenreste vom letzten Run

Ok let’s go! She’s doing so amazing! She’s catching up at such a fast rate! I guess that’s brand new genetics for you plus that added Zamnripper umph combined force lol I trimmed away the lower leaves off her and she loved it appreciated it and boosted up! Dynomyco is obviously doing it’s thing too helping her get to canopy! And with help of the new light TSW2000 from mars hydro it will be a better outcome! I continue to give her a little spray a few times a day only lightly but it helps with the low humidity! I am in 2 minds with the flip! Like do I wait for this to go 4 weeks at least or just go for it so I’ll decide very soon! As that’s in a few days lol so she’ll be 3.5 weeks! So should be alright!

📆 Semana 5: La planta sigue con su ritmo firme y constante. Los cogollos siguen engordando, ahora con más densidad y compactación. La resina se vuelve aún más abundante, cubriendo prácticamente toda la parte superior y algunas hojas vecinas. El aroma se intensifica y se vuelve más complejo, con notas dulces y un toque terroso que empieza a destacar. La planta mantiene un consumo estable y adecuado de agua y nutrientes, sin mostrar estrés ni señales negativas. La estructura aguanta bien el peso, gracias a una ramificación sólida y entrenudos aún cortos para lo que suele ser una auto XL. La floración sigue en pleno apogeo, y se ve que la calidad apunta alto. Todo sigue marchando como debe, y la cosecha promete ser muy buena. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Week 11 for Black Lebanon by SSSC Growth wise i don't feel that she's growing very much only thing i really notice from the pics is she might be filling in a little. Last week was another hot hot week but we are coming down to the low 30's again for the rest of the upcoming week so think the plants will be happier. I wish the growing area wasn't so sheltered to wind as i feel like these bigger girls would really benefit from it. This week ive tried to water wayyyyy more than i have due to the hot weather, she got 15L some days & 7L other days but nearly everyday.

The Critical Mass CBD is lookimg good, tric's are clouding up. Keeping flushing with straight tap water. I am not ph'n the water, I figure this is the end and nute lockout should not matter. Would like to know everyone's thoughts on that. I am still waiting for some amber tric's before harvest, looks like it may be another week yet to harvest. I will have to move the plant to the edge of the lights again, new round going in. Thanks for looking.

Jetzt beginnt die Ernte langsam ihren Schatten vorauszuwerfen. Jede Woche zeigt diese Apricot Auto ein neues Gesicht. Was vor wenigen Wochen noch wie eine sauber trainierte Outdoor-Pflanze aussah, entwickelt sich nun immer mehr zu einer beeindruckenden Sammlung harziger Colas. Das Training der vergangenen Wochen macht sich jetzt richtig bezahlt. Die offene Pflanzenstruktur sorgt dafür, dass nahezu jeder Haupttrieb ausreichend Licht erhält und sich gleichmäßig entwickeln kann. Statt einer dominanten Hauptblüte stehen inzwischen zahlreiche kräftige Colas im Mittelpunkt, die Woche für Woche an Größe und Dichte gewinnen. Besonders schön zu beobachten ist die Entwicklung der Blüten. Die Kelche beginnen sichtbar anzuschwellen, viele der ersten Blütenstempel färben sich bereits orange, während an den Spitzen weiterhin frische weiße Pistillen entstehen. Genau diese Mischung zeigt, dass die Pflanze noch einmal ordentlich Energie in den Endspurt investiert. Auch die Harzproduktion legt deutlich zu. Inzwischen sind nicht nur die Buds selbst, sondern auch die Sugar Leaves von einer dicken Trichomschicht überzogen. Je näher man herangeht, desto deutlicher wird, wie frostig die Blüten mittlerweile aussehen. Die großen Fächerblätter verlieren langsam etwas Farbe – ein typisches Bild einer Pflanze, die ihre gespeicherten Reserven zunehmend in die Blütenbildung steckt. Insgesamt wirkt sie jedoch weiterhin vital, stabil und ausgesprochen gesund. Jetzt beginnt die spannendste Phase. Von Woche zu Woche werden die Blüten dichter, schwerer und aromatischer. Wenn das Wetter weiterhin mitspielt, dürfte in den kommenden Tagen noch einmal ein ordentlicher Gewichtszuwachs bevorstehen. Ich freue mich schon darauf zu sehen, wie sich diese Apricot Auto auf den letzten Metern noch einmal entwickelt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The finish line is finally coming into sight. Every week this Apricot Auto reveals a new side of herself. What started as a carefully trained outdoor plant has now transformed into a beautiful canopy full of resin-covered colas. The training from the previous weeks is now paying off perfectly. The open structure allows almost every top to receive excellent sunlight, resulting in an even canopy where multiple main colas continue to develop together instead of a single dominant top. The flowers have clearly entered their swelling phase. The calyxes are becoming thicker, many of the early pistils have already turned orange, while fresh white hairs continue to emerge on the upper buds. This combination is always a great sign that the plant is still pushing hard toward the finish. Resin production has increased noticeably once again. The buds are becoming increasingly frosty, and even the sugar leaves are now heavily coated in sparkling trichomes. Up close, the flowers are beginning to develop that sticky, icy appearance every grower hopes to see. Some of the larger fan leaves are gradually fading as the plant redirects its stored nutrients into flower production. This is a completely natural part of late flowering, while the overall plant still looks healthy, vigorous and well-balanced. Now comes the most exciting stage of the entire grow. Every passing day adds a little more weight, a little more density and another layer of resin. If the weather stays cooperative, the final weeks should reward all the patience invested since day one. I can't wait to see how this Apricot Auto finishes her journey.

Note: At time of writing the Runtz has had 2 weeks cure, will update the review and rate it after 2+ months cure. Hermied a bit, has very few seeds so not too bad. Growth review: - vigorous grower during veg - solid stretch - medium internode distance - small sized buds - lower buds not too airy - very easy/not fussy - medium amount of smell - 80+ days flower (12/12) in hydro DWC under full spectrum led - responded well to various lst techniques Ease of growth rating: 9/10 General note: --> For me personally this strain NEEDS a good cure and is not worth smoking yet... It has a bit of a citrus grassy (not hay) taste, with some 'special' fruity smells to it that remind a bit of grapes/cassis. When grinding/opening the curing pots there is a pretty dank heavy weed smell so I think the quality will come out after a few months of cure... In its current state not worth smoking for the taste or effect after 14 days cure. --> Currently the effect is not very strong, easy to handle and I need a lot to feel a bit. The effect lasts for short compared to the average strains I smoke. Should develop more character with a longer cure. Hash making notes: - water extraction of the trim yielded 16g of hash (45mc-220mc) - rosin has a bit too much of a weird spicy grassy taste which make it a bit unpleasant, waiting till the buds improve with cure to try again - rosin color at 80c is yellow/white/beige creamy waxy, with hard consistency - rosin color at 95c is golden with hard consistency
