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.

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 definitely enjoyed and having cool cure definitely a game changer . Bout to test it out some more by leaving the buds or recent harvest inside the system. Thinking cutting down the time 4 weeks in veg and 8 to 9 weeks in flower to keep it coming and posted..

Beautiful Plant and good smell - cant wait to test the finish product. Smells a little like grape and other fruit i cannot explain. this was her last week. Week 10 she got only 10hrs of light for the first 5 days of the week. Day 66 - Last watering Day 68 - lights off Day 70 - harvest

Most of the week was spent setting up the hydro grow. Needed to build a DIY chiller since air temp in our grow room is hot, and water needs to be a good deal colder. Fridge from kijiji, garden hose, fittings, and submersible pump all in were under $100 but knowing what I know now I'd likely go with a thermoelectric chiller (DIY, with power supply and temp controller) next time around. Looking forward to tracking metrics and seeing how it goes :). Seems there's a lot of contradiction in terms of level of nutrients recommended, max water temperature, using H2O2 to boost water temp that can keep algae and rot at bay, etc. Got my hands on some Hydroguard via Amazon... despite local shops saying you can't get it in Canada... so I'm going to go with that instead of H2O2 to start, despite water temp getting up above 21 C (70 f) during the day. Fingers crossed. Update - keeping water reservoir tank under 20 C now by using reflective bubble wrap insulation on the reservoir itself and pipe insulation as well. It's a 10 C difference from the room temp, so I'm SUPER pleased with that.

Bloombastic putting in that work! Stinks like crazy now. Super strong sweet Lemon terps Stopped Bloombastic & DualPart feed. Switched to Ripen for few feeds before starting flush.

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Finally my weather is getting better! 🙌 and good day everyone! Both of my girls are maturing properly and I'm glad it wasn't extremely hot inside the tent, it'll help my babies to not stress too much. I also increased the amount of Silver PK 14/15 by another 0.5ml and the plants took it well! 😍 The plants (mostly Pistachio) is getting more yellow leaves (I'm constantly removing them) and that means my babies are getting close! 😃 So now I'm double checking the trichomes/pistils in my girls and thanks to that I can say the flowers in Pistachio are more developed than the ones in Matcha and I suppose that's because the lights are way too far from Matcha but I can try to fix that in the future. Anyway, see you all in my next update! 👋

We got some drizzles this week and some cloudiness, but her southern facing aspect, helped her out with getting some nice sunlight despite the fact. Temperature still dropping as to be expected so I didn't have to water more than once. The buds are swelling and frosting up quick.

16th Week Report 30/01/20 - 06/02/20 Had a look to trichomes and she was almost ready, consequently I didn't filled/changed reservoir from last week 06/02/20 Harvest Day! 2nd Harvest Wet Weight Is 440g! 💦💦 All the lower growth yielded more than the bigger colas from first harvest (350g Wet Weight) Nothing particular to say, trichomes are 5-10% 🔍 Amber, even the lower buds got some purple tones and while I was trimming them I sniffed the best weed flavour I ever felt in my life! The 2nd Harvest day was a week away from the 1st Harvest day! "Harvest Week" will be published when buds will be dry 😋 Last Update 06/02/20 See you guys ;)

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure Early taste test & this Bud KOs leaving you in major terp sweats! Hits like a Sumo wrestler sitting on you tickling all over! Flower bowls hitting like fat juicy dabs, with overwhelming squeeze & flavor like you're drinking a smoothie! Breaks down chunky and greasy with a vivivd dark purple color. LOUD N STANKY, opening a jar gives you the duck face funk face.

Day 58 - I started seeing these yellow/brow spots, maybe its a calcium deficiency? I have been giving her calcium so it could be a ph problem. I´m also worried because my neighbor tree has leaf septoria so it could be it aswell, i will keeping a real close eye. Last night rained heavily, so today i sprayed her again w/ Botryprot. Humidity here is really high, i think it´s already helping! Next 3 days will continue raining. When raining stops, i´ll spray when possible. Day 61 - Today i fed her the above chart. We are in week 3, so i cut Fish-mix as she´s focusing on her flowers now. The deficiency stopped developing so im happy, but im always seeing crickets on my plant. I remove all of them by hand, regardless every time i get back i see 3 at least. They are loving the blueberry. Forgot to mention i added acti-vera this time, to help stalks get stronger and healthier. Let´s see how she reacts to it, when she was young she didn´t enjoyed acti-vera Day 64 - These last days have been very hot, with a maximum of 30ºC. Will feed her tomorrow at the beginning of week 4. Will keep same feeding, she didn´t complaint about acti-vera now. :)

Se comienza a completar la carpa con la técnica scrog. Quizá sea muy poco 2ml/l de biogrow, se está notando el deficit de nitrógeno colocandose hojas de color amarillo como pueden apreciar en las fotografías, posiblemente producto de la cantidad de fotones entregados por el LED, que es de 240 Watts. ¿Como poder regular la falta de nitrogeno, a puertas de pasar a floración???

Girls have settled into summer camp nicely. Worries about not taking the transplant diminish more each day and I am gaining more confidence in strong roots with each passing day as well. I had to build a supplemental lighting system for the greenhouse. Here at home we are experiencing a wetter than usual summer so far and with that brings clouds. So I needed to do something. So I built a new greenhouse light. It cranks out some light. Currently at canopy I’m measuring around 600 PPFD. Plants are loving it. All three plants sexed and all are females. Didn’t think otherwise. So the formula 707 is performing better than expected. Water retention is crazy. Watered the plants on Sunday with a gallon each , today is Thursday and no water needed. Going to try and get to Sunday for a whole week between watering. *** update, added a short video from 7am this morning. The girls really do like the homemade light. *** update, aggravated just lost an hours worth of data. I’ll come back in a while and do it again. Fu.k

Day29 feeding with 🍀Xpert nutrients🍀 Day30 I start some light défoliation and lst💪💪

Starting out nice . High temps and humidity but moving along nicely
