I really slacked at the end of this grow, my schedule changed drastically in the last month and I was unable to really take care of her the way I wanted. She yielded a 56 grams exactly.

Started flowering, everything is good ✌️

25/12/18 Week 5 Flower Merry Xmas! All 4 plants are doing well, growth seems to have slowed down so I think the next few weeks are just packing on weight and then ripening. Gonna give them all some pk 13/14 on Friday - had a small problem with fungus gnats in my bathroom which eventually led them into my grow tent. Been waiting extra long between waterings to minimize the chance of them spreading - I know they love wet, mouldy coco. Got some peroxide just incase they become a problem any way. Looking to chop 15th-22nd Jan, depending on how the trichomes are looking. Lots of users commenting on how much weight GZ packs on, really hoping to get some nice dense golf-balls. My previous grow, which was two plants yielded just under 1.5oz, would really love to see a yield around 2.5oz with my current 4 plant set-up. Merry Christmas - more updates in the new year!

FLOWERING First flowering phenomena are visible in the tops of the plants.😜 -------------------------------- GROWTH The plants are still growing rapidly. To keep the size of the plants somewhat at the same height, I use the following techniques: 😷 1. Removal of the side branches (Defoliation) -Small plants: I remove almost all side branches. In this way the small plants do not have to spend energy in the growth of side branches. -Large Plants: I don't remove anything. The plants will put energy into the growth of side branches, so the plants will not grow too fast in height. -Other plants: I remove the side branches in proportion to the size of the plants. In the course of the following days, I gradually remove all low side branches! 2. Tying the branches (Low Stress Training) -The smallest plants grow straight upwards. -The largest plants are tempered in their growth, afterI have tied them to the plant sticks with the help of plastic plant binders. On DAY 5 the plants vary in length between 23 and 41 cm AIR HUMIDITY 😨 When the lights are on, it gets nice and warm in the growing room. To keep the humidity at the desired level, I have two 7.5 liter humidifiers working almost continuously. In less than 24 hours I have to refill them. As long as the plants do not have real buds, I like high humidity so the plants to keep a low VPD. -------------------------------- WATER and NUTRITION 😱 Due to the high humidity, I don't have to give that much water. Every 3 days I give 1.25 liters of water per pot. I add 3 tablets of Easy Grow Booster to 10 liters of water. I divide this mixture between the 8 pots. This week I gave 2 x water.

Coming soon 👌

This Flower week 6 sucks. Major Power outage, Plants have been in the dark for 4 days now, and power company is saying a few more days until electricity is back on... I’m really surprised they aren’t suffering more without light or good air flow. I’ll update when power is back on. UPDATE: After 5 days without electricity, my plants are FINALLY happy to have the lights back on them!!! WooHoo! Day 6, they seem to be taking off where they left off without much confusion. Gave them a good drink of nutes, and they're happy.

Had a bumpy week this week a little bit, started to get a bit to cold I think at night and this combined with a nitrogen abundance made her slow glowing this week. She’s coming around now though, just diluted my water/nutrients mixture in half and left her be. Got my AC exhaust from one of my flower tents pulling through this tent now so the temps are back up again to normal as well. Be moving her soon to the big tent, I’m guessing a week or so till it’s ready for her. Will be starting lst soon to get her ready for the screen as well, didn’t wanna stress her last week anymore while she was bouncing back still. That’s it for this week. Cheers💨

Smells and tastes straight like a banana smoothie

Everything's fine 😁😁😁😁

Week 12 . Tricomes are nicely starting to form everywhere. They are starting to look daam sexy! . The smell gets stronger and stronger and the leaves are getting real sticky to touch and when cut. Overall conditions are golden! And each time i change my water i get amazed by how clear it is!

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦🚽💦🚽💦 It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💨 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂️ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Week 3 from clone, wicking buckets, the smaller plants are in 2 gallon pots. Going to weed out the males, clone the females and keep the best one

Finally we cut this plant 13 weeks plant, it isn't a 8 weeks plant this is my main complaint about it, the bank should change the information because most of the people select this strains because are "faster".

Day 49. They’re starting to lean pretty good. Staked and tied a few branches. Still drinking normal, expect them to slow down this week. Ended up defoling and top dressing with small amount of craft blend, Kashi, and build a flower on like day 47. Plucked one or two sacs off the diesel donuts. Tall, purple jug life pheno in the loudest with sweet burned rubber nose. Ready to see how these girls finish.

Strain: Hillbilly Wedding Genetics: F- (Raspberry Moonshine) [Raspberry Kush x Old Time Moonshine] x M- (Wedding Cake x More Cowbell) [Girl Scout Cookies Forum Cut x (88G-13 x HP)] that old time moonshine.... I believe is a Dj Short creation. When I first started floating the idea to start growing the first thing that came to mind was find my favorite strain. BLUEBERRY! THAT DJ SHORT BLUE BERRY... Dj had just rereleased the OTM line.. I did not grab those beans but I am glad Ziplock got to it! I was graced with blueberry moonshine back in 07. 🤤 First time growing a strain with Girl Scout Cookies and a second chance with the 88G13 & HP Soaked for 36hrs had a glass with a lid(seems to be working for me) heatmat on top of drawer seeds are in set to 80 11/12 cracked open before planting{very abnormal for me}

🌱 Grow Diary Update — Sour Diesel Week 4 | First week of flower (12/12) This week, the spotlight is on Sour Diesel, because she clearly stood out from the rest of the room — and when one plant speaks louder than the others, we listen. ⸻ 📍 Quick recap (so everyone is on the same page) • Sour Diesel just entered week 6 / first week of flower • She was running on Autopots with mineral-only feed • Organics and amendments were removed from the Autopot system • The rest of the room handled this change fine • She did not She started showing: • Droopy posture • Loss of vigor • Early deficiency-type signals • A general “I’m not comfortable” look Important detail: 👉 She was the only plant reacting like this. ⸻ 🌿 Why this happened (the key lesson) Sour Diesel is an old-school genetic, and not all strains respond the same way to abrupt system changes. In her case: • She was previously thriving with organics + minerals • Removing organics reduced: • Nutrient complexity • Biological buffering • Availability of secondary elements • This happened right at the transition into flower, when demand increases sharply On top of that, we had environmental pressure: • Outside temps: ~4°C • Outside humidity: ~98% • Room stabilized at: 21°C / 58% RH Those conditions are acceptable — but combined with: • Feed change • Flower transition • Genetic sensitivity …it was enough for her to react. ⸻ 🚿 Why we took her off Autopots Autopots are great — but they’re not universal. We removed her from the Autopot regimen because: • She needed immediate, tailored feeding • She wasn’t responding well to mineral-only delivery • Hand-feeding lets us: • Adjust EC gently • Reintroduce organics • Observe response feed by feed This wasn’t a system failure — it was a plant-specific decision. ⸻ Current feeding strategy (now) • Medium: hand-fed (off Autopots) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Full recipe: organics + minerals • Added: CalMag Pro Why CalMag Pro? • We’re using rainwater + humidifier water, which is very soft • Low calcium & magnesium availability can show fast in flower • This is both: • A corrective move for her • A preventive move for the whole room Meanwhile, the rest of the Autopot system is running: • 2.29 EC • pH 6.0 • Mineral-only • Other plants are stable and happy ⸻ 🌬️ Environment (current) • Lights: stable • Airflow: good • Temp: ~21°C • RH: ~58% Nothing extreme — but this shows how context + timing + genetics matter more than numbers alone. ⸻ 🔮 What we expect (and what we don’t) What we expect: • Gradual recovery, not overnight • Leaf posture improving first • New growth responding before old leaves • Stability over speed What we don’t expect: • Instant “fix” • Old damage to reverse • Her to behave exactly like the rest of the room From now on, she’ll simply need a bit more attention than her sisters — and that’s okay. ⸻ 🧠 The bigger takeaway This is a perfect example of why: • There is no single “best way” • Systems are tools, not rules • Genetics always get a vote • Listening beats forcing We’re not chasing perfection — we’re responding with intention. We’ll keep monitoring her closely over the coming week and adjust calmly, step by step. As always, this is just our experience and observation — not a universal recipe.

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.

Heyho Leute, wie man sieht geht eine der Ladys durch die Decke 😝 Naja, mal sehen. Wir haben Tag 22 in der Blüte. Habe grob „unnerum" frei gemacht und habs Licht derzeit auf 70 %. Da es drei unterschiedliche Sorten sind, sieht man echt gut wie unterschiedlich sie auf den Dünger reagieren. Ein bisschen angesengte Spitzen haben die beiden großen. Die Banner interessiert es irgendwie gefühlt nicht 😃 Die gushers hat leider nur noch 20 cm bis zur Lampe und wenn sie weiter wächst, komme ich ohne Supercropping nicht hin. Andernfalls toaste ich den headbud.😄Ajo, ist dann halt so. Ich probiere grade von Bionova ein alternativen Silikat düngen aus. Der verschmoddert einem nicht so das Autopot System wie der von TA. Grüße 🖖🏼
