Had 1mm of rain in the last month, responding well to very little water, drip irrigated a few hours once a week. I spent so much time hauling water jugs for feeding last year, this is a treat..

16/12 - Harvest day

It was a good run considering how it started. I wish I put her in a bigger pot and vegged her for maybe 2 more weeks and I would of ended up with another ounce. I also think I defoliated a lttle too much to early in fear buds werent getting enough light. Jusst under an oz is fine. Im doing a 2 week and 1 month cure so I will split it in half and update later on.

D78 - We're just starting week seven of flower, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. I'm thrilled with how they are coming along. The buds are fattening up, with a more intense smell than they had only a few days ago. I'm starting to see the first signs of fading, and the trichomes are clear/milky with an odd amber here and there. I estimate that chop day is a couple of weeks off, which would bring it to eight weeks of flower. ________________________________ D80 - Pics ________________________________ D82 - I have been stuck in trim jail so it has been a couple of days since I looked in on the girls. They didn't miss me though as everything is just humming along. They look and smell amazing, citrus and pine, and the buds are fattening up with each passing day. Some additional fade but not much, to be honest. ________________________________ D84 - We are indeed on the home stretch at the end of the seventh week of flower. The girls look great with only a slight fade until now. I'm starting to see some amber trichomes but want more before harvest. Judging from how the trichomes have progressed this week, I say chop day is a week off.

Now that all plants are in the ground we have started to train the plants by topping and lst, nearly all my autos are transitioning into flower, the semi autos are grow massive will get some close ups on the weekend

Well here we are at the beginning of week 8. Super windy today but I got my new rain tarp up. June 25th gave all the plants pretty good snip except for Cinderella number 2 which is still slow but coming along tomorrow I may top all the other little branches not quite sure yet. just fucked up my pH metre by hitting the calibration button by accident and now I have no solution to recalibrate it so I'm going to have to wait and kind of wing it until the new one gets here in a couple of weeks but my pH in my house water is around 7- 7.5 12 ml of vinegar in 12 qts should be the ticket. Friday June 26th well I found a way to use clothes pins to use them as wait to hold the branches down I kind of like it tell me what you think. well looks like everything is coming along okay I keep the newts down I rather have them a little too lower than too high. well this is the last day of week 8 in July 1st and everything seemed to be going along fine but it looks like my Cinderella 99 run into a bit of a deficiency on the nitrogen and somebody let me know if this is right or not and if there's somebody in Toronto who can test the tap water for pH levels and let me know my pH metre is broken right now

Structured Defoliation & Light Redistribution GMO Cookies — Week 7 From Seed (12/12 From Seed) ( Week 2 Flower, kind a because this run is 12/12 from seed, developmental phases overlap. While we are in Week 7 from seed, flower morphology places these plants approximately in Week 2–3 of true flower formation.) ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was flipped 12/12 from seed. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Only: • Strategic leaf bending • Gentle positioning • Natural apical development • Controlled mineral feeding through the AutoPot system • Occasional top-feed inputs when needed We let the plants express themselves first. That decision matters. Because what you’re seeing now — the uniform tops, the consistent structure, the even canopy rhythm — is the result of restraint early on. No panic training. No overcorrection. Just guidance. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, deliberately, we changed nothing. • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • LED lighting (multi-layer + under-canopy support) Some growers see 28 °C in flower and panic. But context matters. Under LED lighting: • Leaf surface temp runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient • There is no heavy infrared load like under HPS • Transpiration behaves differently So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% Leaf-level VPD sits in a comfortable early-flower range. We do not calculate room VPD in isolation. We observe plant behavior. And the plants confirm stability: • Upright posture • No tacoing • No clawing • Strong internode spacing • Healthy green without tip burn We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. That’s different. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Why EC 2.4 Is Intentional These GMO Cookies are evolving fast. At Week 2 flower, they are: • Stretching • Building structural mass • Initiating bud sites • Increasing water consumption EC 2.4 is not a random number. It matches: • Growth speed • AutoPot constant availability • Mineral shuttle stability • Transpiration rate under LED Because AutoPots provide continuous feed, the goal isn’t spikes — it’s consistency. No dramatic increases. No sudden drops. Just stable availability. That’s why we did not change anything this week. When plants are stable, changing variables creates instability. ⸻ Defoliation — Controlled Intervention, Not Reaction This update follows the exact chronological order of the session. Before defoliation, we observed: • Mid-canopy density • Lower airflow restriction • Interior shading • Competing secondary growth The intervention focused on: • Removing obstructive fan leaves • Cleaning lower interior branches (lollipopping) • Improving air channels • Increasing light penetration • Prioritizing top flower sites No stripping. No shock. Just structure correction. ⸻ 🔥 Under-Canopy Light Marks — Addressed Transparently Minor leaf surface damage was observed on some lower leaves. Important distinction: This is not nutrient burn. This is not systemic stress. These were: • Localized photon exposure spots • Leaves positioned too close to under-canopy diodes • Surface-level tissue damage Cosmetic. Monitored. Adjusted. Under-canopy lighting increases lower bud potential — but placement must be respected. This is part of dialing in layered LED systems. We document it openly. Because transparency builds trust. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Plants Look So Uniform Three plants. Very similar rhythm. Why? • Stable feeding • Stable environment • No high-stress events • Even canopy exposure • Gentle early leaf positioning instead of hard training Consistency early → uniformity later. This is not luck. It’s controlled inputs. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Stretch slowing down • Clear bud stacking beginning • Pistil density increasing • Water consumption rising • Slight increase in aroma intensity You should NOT expect: • Massive swelling yet • Heavy frost development • Final bud density We are still in structural flower. GMO builds weight slightly later. Patience is part of the architecture. ⸻ 🧠 The Philosophy Behind This Week When everything is stable: Do not interfere. Many growers change parameters weekly just to feel active. But cultivation is not about constant movement. It’s about: Observation → Understanding → Adjustment only when required. This week required observation. Not correction. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries platform — thank you for the space to document honestly.

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 killed 3-4 bugs around the tent and dont see anything else for the moment. Both of the Gorilla Zkittlez’s looking good and frosty and all of them except the tallest Gorilla Cookies, I think it was meant for bigger spaces :D Anyway assuming last 2 weeks before chop

Week 6 day 1 video Week 6 day 4 video I’m still pushing very hard with carbs every watering, humic acid, soluble n, soluble pk, microbial mass, b+, fishshit. Already tried testers for lowers. Very potent hits harder than a pen. Feels like 30-40% baked for 1-3h per j, different phenos. Not harsh just testers dried for 0:01:15, checked seeds and developing for 2-3 weeks

So I had a few issue. I over watered early on, took them out the seed tray early, started feeding them a week or two late, no humidifier yet but they recovered well.

Day 49 - Have been having a bit of a high humidity problem in the tent but will be getting a new dehumidifier soon to keep that under control but over all these ladies are growing beautifully & seem to be very healthy! I am extremely impressed at how well they are doing with little to no nutrients, the buds are starting to get thicker & put on some frost! Make sure to check back for more updates, thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

I use these fertilizers not for the first time, the whole grove was successful, without any problems. the tree did not hurt, and there was no shortage of fertilizers. organic fertilizers are very good for the earth

she grows healthy ... she is in her last weeks outdoor ... the days are cloudy most of the day ... with the substrate mills he has .. he feeds every 10 days with red guano and earthworm humus

Harvest day. For my opinion there are many leaves in the buds, but we will see when they are dry. The imperium X was a great start to see how rdwc works. Happy about the result

She's doing fine I'ma push for one more week only plain phd water I want them amber trichs I'm dreading trimming she's foxtailin other than that well on my way to my second harvest
