After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Fue buena, se establecieron condiciones de cultivo aceptables. Las hojas presentan un color verde intenso que también se comienza a notar en los brotes nuevos de la albahaca.

Sour Jealousy Auto FastBuds 2025 Outside Grow Week 10 June 1-7 FLOWER 4 This week had a couple rainy days but mostly sunny. Temperatures were normal for this time of year – mid 80s in the day and 50s at night. This next week is calling for rain every day. I may have to move her inside as a cautionary measure to avoid too much moisture in the plant. Our coastal area stays very humid and last year I lost 2 huge plants to bud rot. Have a great weekend staying high. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Well going good so far. Kinda thought I had zinc lockout due to adding too much ph down (phosphorous) to the res rising every other day to 6.5ish. I have a bubbler and a water pump running in there. Gave them a flush of 2l each PhD water with calmag. Looking a bit better hopefully fixes soon

The BEST plant From BIG SEEDBANK!! Amazing genetics... She is a heavy yielder... Love the woody, fruity smell... last week of feeding and then we go into flush... fingers crossed she goes good until the end...🙏

So I was very impressed with the yield for my first grow What did I learn? so I Learned the importance of LST and staying o top of it, also the importance of not letting the medium dry all the way out because it will cause Ph fluctuations. another mistake I made was that I did not switch the nutes from veg to flower, so they were not getting everything they needed at the times they needed them. The last thing is lighting, I had 1 1000w blurple led light (and that was for a 4by4) and I finally got another 1000w at about week 9 to properly fill out the tent, so I'm excited to see what I can do with both lights and next grow. I also only used GH 3 part nutes and cal mag, it did great, but I'm planning on adding in a few things next grow so stay tuned. Harvested date: April 18th Jaring date: April 25th - 28th Dry yield for each plant: #1: 100.7g #2: 93g #3: 85g #4: 143g Follow my grows on IG : @XanabaGrows

Looking allot better this week! Going to keep the ph a little hogher tward 6.4 also finally got all the males out and everything sexed so i am ready for transplant! I have 6 females from each of the 12 seeds popped from each strain! Great ratio Still have a pretty bad knat infestation after a couple of sprays and i also read neem oil negatively affects microbes in the soil so im going to swich back to grow safe a brand i have used before and i know will work in 2-3 sprays max

Day 56 flower getting very close to harvest now just a bit longer needed only water from here on out 💚😍🙏

Another wonderful week. Recovery from the topping has been superb. She has grown quite a lot. As of 5/2/21 she will be leaving the veg tent and moving to the bloom tent where she will spend the next 8.5 weeks with another plant, Cotton Candy. The tent received an upgrade to a third TS1000 for the 2 plants. Hope is enough for now.

Another run started - 1 Purple Kush Auto from Oasis Genetics and 1 Pineapple Express Auto from Barney's Farm. Wet, single sheet paper towel germination method has been 100% successful thus far and once again it did not fail. For this auto run started them off in Jiffy Pellets and then in solo cups before planting into final pot. Was feeding 100ml tap water Ph between 6.0 - 6.1 each every day once in solo cups. Realized during this week both lights were not necessary and therefore only ran one SF2000.

Primera experiencia de scrog y no estoy muy satisfecho. Las plantas han tenido un estres y han madurado más rápido de lo normal. El resultado son cogollos pequeños. La calidad parece igual. Supongo que ha tocar demasiado las ramas para controlarla con la red es la origen del estres. Era un experimento de defoliación. Lo he hecho en varias plantas para comparar. Es un desastre, vale mejor no tocar las hojas salvo en ciertos casos.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 5 (12/12 From Seed) Late Veg / Pre-Flower Transition General Vibe The girls are feeling amazing this week — calmly exploding, super elegant, and bushing up beautifully. Structure is compact yet full, with a very balanced expression across the canopy. No rush, no stress — just plants doing plant things. Training & Structure We’re continuing with very gentle LST — mostly bending and positioning leaves rather than aggressive branch work. The goal is simple: • Open light pathways • Encourage lateral growth • Let the plants decide their final shape They’re responding incredibly well: tight internodes, bushy profiles, and strong posture. You can clearly see the progression in the photos from the beginning to the end of the week. Growth Stage Observation By the end of this week, we’re starting to see early pre-flower signs. Nothing dramatic yet, but the transition is clearly beginning. ➡️ Next week’s update should start showing more defined flower development. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Water Strategy This week we introduced CalMag Pro — not because the plants are asking for it, but as a proactive step heading into flower. Why now? • We’re using collected rainwater + dehumidifier water, which is extremely soft • Before stacking base nutrients and supplements, we need to build a proper mineral foundation • This ensures stability and availability later, especially during stretch and early flower demand This is preparation, not correction. Autopot Zone We’re running two feeding zones in the tent (6 plants total), which is why you’ll see different measurements in the diary photos: • Autopot zone: mineral-based recipe only • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • (Organics don’t play well with Autopots — keeping it clean and stable) • Solution temperature: ~22–23°C across both zones • Slightly warmer on purpose to support root activity during colder weather ⸻ 🌡️ Environment • Humidity: ~58% • Temperature: ~21°C Outside conditions have been tough this week (4–5°C with 90–98% humidity), so honestly, we’re happy with how stable the room is holding. More importantly, the plants are reacting calmly and positively, which always matters more than chasing textbook numbers. CO₂ remains unchanged at ~666 ppm — steady and sufficient for this stage. We’ll reassess during flower. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & PPFD • Top light: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) The girls are praying to the light — no pushing, no forcing. We let them grow how they want to grow. Under-Canopy Lighting (LumiFlora) By the end of this week, we’re turning on the under-canopy lighting for the first time. Why now? • Plants have grown past the fixtures • It’s time for them to start recognizing photons from all directions • This prepares lower growth for the coming stretch and flower set We’re starting very gently at ~30% power, then increasing slowly based on plant response. No shock, no rush — just layered light introduced with intention. Huge thanks to LumiFlora for supporting this phase with under-canopy lighting. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap (For Newcomers) • 12/12 from seed • Gentle, observation-first approach • No aggressive training or forcing • Focus on structure, balance, and plant response • Slow, intentional buildup heading into flower You can jump in right here and be fully up to speed. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Expect: • Clearer pre-flowers • Stretch beginning to express • Training adjustments as structure reveals itself Don’t expect: • Heavy defoliation • Sudden pushes or drastic changes • Forcing the plants into anything they’re not ready for We observe, adapt, and respond — always. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Massive thanks to everyone following along, sharing energy, and supporting the diary — and welcome to everyone new joining the journey.

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.

She was a pleasure to grow from start to finish. Took well to topping and lst. Would recommend this exotic strain to anyone... rock hard covered colourful frosty nugs And gassy af

Gran turismo from lit farms is a super winner. I’m sad I didn’t take a clone. The plant has a craziest smell also it has super huge tricomb heads and its tricomb density is next level. When you touch the buds they are so so so very sticky and the smell is so strong probably the strongest smelling plant I have grown. Also the bud structure is super pretty and uniform. It’s almost unreal. I wish I had more seeds to this plant. I guess it will just be a memory after it’s all smoked and gone.

Week 6 flower : I stopped the pk half way through week 6 so it had a total of 10 days feed with pk13/14 I also cut out the silicone and calmag on the same day . I defoliated a little as there was a lot bud sites covered . I am going to start the flush in 3 days which will be . .6 1/2 weeks into flower , going to give them 2 weeks flush with plain water . Still have a bit of leaf curl from the light being so close I did move it but because the canopy is not so even it’s hard to get it right .

11.10.2022 130 giorni dalla germinazione al raccolto 70 giorni fioritura in totale Pianta molto bella, sexy, 2 semi su 2 germinati con successo. di due piante, ho avuto 2 fenotipi leggermente diversi, entrambe le piante mostrano una struttura ibrida tendenzialmente sativa, con rami lunghi e boccioli densi e duri, ricoperti da tricomi. Ho laciato le piante crescere con un Lst applicato un po in ritardo, ma entrambe le piante hanno reagito benissimo e formato delle belle chiome a cespuglio. Profumo tendente al dolce, note di lavanda ed erbe aromatiche, una delle 2 in fase avanzata di fioritura profumava di ananas maturo, semplicemente uno spettacolo! La resa sembra buona, le cime sono di ottima qualita, aggiornerò con peso tra poche settimane!

Punch Pie in Flower, stretching nice and doing great, the topping helped to slow down the main stem and spread the plant a bit. Now its just time to wait for some nice top colas to form. I cleaned the bottom of the plant up a bit just like the others to make sure we got good airflow in the areas with less light to avoid problems. Still no fertilizer just living Soil by Sonnenerde.

So, this is my first grow, just starting out. After NJ passed recreational weed, I was like you know what... Went on an amazon spending spree and got some seeds from cropkingseeds and this is it! I let the seeds soak for 18hr in deer park spring water w/ 1 drop of Organic Liquid Seaweed and Kelp Fertilizer Supplement by Bloom City. At the end of soakage, it didn't look like any had cracked maybe one did not so sure. So I did up the papertowels according to the video and have to say I feel a little nervous/anxious that there is too much water/weight on the seeds and feer drownage. I'm going to keep it on there though. I check the towels a few times throughout the day and am surprised they're very moist throughout the day and next morning still somewhat damp. 24 hours in the towels I check my babies and one had cracked but the rest were still sealed up tight, unwilling to share the goodness that we all so desire, cmon babies crack that shell for papa! 11/12 looked like 1 seed popped, yay! I remoistened towels a bit but didn't wanna soak them. I also put some rapid rooters in water to soak overnight gunna throw the seeds in them in AM... I was going to do it tonight but figured I should wait see if some pop out more. 11/13 OMG upon checking seeds at 07:10 I found the papertowels like bone dry OMG WTF!!! Panic sets in but I just set up the little terrarium with 6 plugs and put the seeds in and tore some plugs off bottom of a plug to cover seedhole with. 11/14 Got a sprout! YES!! The plugs look nice and moist just going to let it go! 11/15 Woke up this mornin, saw a new sprout peeking thru and then another about to! I got ansy and took off the little top plugs and found all the sprouts were coming up! Leaving the top plug off, hopefully thats not a bad idea.
