Only starting the diary at the end of second week counting germination. I ain't no expert as it's my first but I think it's in vegetation stage. I really have some high hopes for my little bitches to grow well. Love them already.
Comment coming at the end of the week, but I'm happy already. Hope I won't screw anything up...
Wednesday update:
- They grew 2cm since Monday, now reaching 14cm.
- Noticed they really enjoy the humidifier. Makes them visibly speed up wherever the mist goes the most.
- Changed the light cycle from overprotective 18/6 to come on you're an auto-flower 20/4.
- Moved light from 115cm to 60cm (temp went from 25°C to 28°C)
I hope those changes based on my research will bring my little bitches what they need to grow healthy and easily rock any guys head 😂
Friday update:
- A bit of discoloration on couple of leaves. Told it's the humidifier so I'll give them a break from it.
- Reduced the temp to 26°C.
- Stopped Fish-Mix as I just now learned it's redundant when using Bio-Grow.
- Added Alg-a-Mic to the mix together with some Cal-Mag as I have very soft water and abovementioned discoloration gave me scares for calcium magnesium deficiency.
Sunday update:
- My young ladies shot up 18cm high (at least the tallest one).
- The discoloration is still there. I'll wait two more feeding with the Cal-Mag and see. They seemed to enjoy the humidifier so I'm eager to turn it back on.
- My little bitches got a surprise celebrity visit. SpongeBob himself popped in to motivate and inspire.
Generally I'm happy so far. They look healthy and happy. The Girls growing like weeds which makes me a happy grower. 😍 If I had a daughter, she'd be so jealous right now... 😂
28c isn't too hot, but you can increase airflow using an inline exhaust or inlet fan, and that may help bring your temps down. You can also supplement CO2 and the plants will withstand higher temps, but use much more water. I usually be careful about going over 30c if you don't supplement CO2, although some strains actually like it in these ranges. If they start to show negative symptoms from heat and you can't get the temps down, I would just re-raise the light a little bit. I hope this helps, Good Luck!
Starting the third week with the bang. My little head angels are bursting to appropriate sizes. Stems got double tick. With Cal-Mag added I'm hoping for that little discoloration on few leaves to go away but again it could be the mist humidifier. It's time to feed them and take some photos.
Also decided not to use any training methods. I didn't do the nasty for the first time in my life with artificial or enhanced boobies so I'll apply the same rule here. 🤣
The tallest little bitch is 24cm now and growing.
Wednesday update:
- Not much to say. Little tempteses are visibly growing.
- Noticed the substrate is absorbing water little slower. I assume it's because of roots but I'm no expert.
Friday update:
- Growing really fast. The tallest plant grew about 5cm since Monday. I must be doing something right.
- Brought back the mist humidifier on half wack, we'll see how it goes, though the humidity without it is about 50%.
Sunday update:
- Little rascals grew a lot in few days. The shortest one is 30cm. The one that used to be the tallest is 35cm, and the average one bursted in height to 40cm.
- Haven't adjusted the light height in a while so it's now 50cm from the tallest plant instead of 60cm. Still the meters show it's normal, so maybe I'll leave it in place for longer and reduce the distance to 40cm.
- The plants are starting to smell yay.
- SpongeBob came back as you can see on a photo. It's going to be a weekly visit. Barely spotted him hiding in the bushes 🤣.
It was a smooth week with no problems and a lot of grow. I hope for the smooth ride till the end.
Starting week 5, with germination counted as week 1. Expecting little bitches to start blooming soon. They already smell a bit which I love. The discoloration I had problem lately went away and now I have no clue is it CalMag or a break from the mist humidifier. Updates coming soon.
Wednesday update:
- The tallest is now half a meter high and two others are 40cm each.
- Light now 40cm above the tallest plant.
Friday update:
- I think they're starting to bloom. My little bitches making me a proud flat screen TV owner.
- The tallest is almost 60cm and two others are 45cm.
- Since I think they're starting to flower, I'm adding 1ml/l Bio-Bloom and 1ml/l Top-Max to the mix. My little darlings know how to empty daddy's wallet 🤣
Sunday update:
- All going smoothly.
- The tallest one is exactly 60cm.
- SpongeBob is stoned already.
This was an easy week with no complications whatsoever. Still not sure if they're starting to bloom or they're just pretty. Also they're sucking up water like crazy lately. Overall I'm happy and hoping for the rest of the grow to be as easy as it has been up to now.
Girls are doing well. The tallest one is stalled a bit I think. She stopped growing for last few days staying at 60cm while two others are catching up and are now about 55cm. A bit worried but happy for the shorter ones.
Increased the amount of water recently as I haven't adjusted it since the beginning but luckily it didn't bother my brave first time parent survivors 😅
Friday update:
- I might have been hastily with the blooming business. Switched the week back to Veg here and stopped Bio-Bloom and Top-Max.
- The tallest is now 65cm and the two others are catching up.
Sunday update:
- Having consulted @CrazyHorse I'm now confident they're near blooming
- The tallest is 70cm now and the two others are catching up
- SpongeBob has gone mad out of impatience and inhales now the humidifier water mist
I'm generally happy with the week. Everything going smoothly and I'm thinking about my first defoliation business as some leaves are turning yellow. I assume the girls are too much cramped together in this 100x100 habitat.
Starting the week with a broken promise. I wanted to grow my little darling bitches all naturally but too many leaves started to die. Defoliated them and they look so pretty right now. Apart from that nothing special to mention but my hopes and dreams 😂
I dream BTW that within next 10 years there will be not a single sad f*cker left on the planet without a joint hanging from their lip. Nice to have dreams and ambitions 😅
Also increased water by 1ltr per watering after finding out how much my mate's girls drink.
Wednesday update:
- Increased water to 5ltr per watering.
- The tallest and most healthy looking is 75cm tall but the two others are just centimetres behind now.
- The two shorter plants are a bit worrying this week but I'll read up on the subject of discoloration or ask a question here.
Friday update:
- Realized I was keeping my girls dry, partially thanks to @CrazyHorse and partially thanks to me actually checking the soil. Forgive me girls... Now I give them 2ltr per plant per watering.
- Some of the bigger leaves getting a bit yellow again and on one plant particularly I see a CalMag problem. That's probably for sure not enough water I think maybe 🤨.
Sunday update:
- There is none. Coming on Monday which is today.
Overall a good week with no surprises. Defoliation didn't seem to slow the girls down at all. Peace ☮️
Starting the week with defoliation again. Expecting my darling little bitches to bloom soon. The tallest one is 80cm now and I officially run out of space to rise the lamp. Will need to remove the adjustable string thing whatever it's called to buy last 10cm.
Increased the water to 8ltr per watering. Some came out at the bottom but nearly everything stayed in the pots. To think I was giving them 4ltr just a week ago. Sorry girls...
Wednesday update:
- Everything is going well.
- Tik Tok bloom already girls... ❇️
Friday update:
- I put them on 16/8 light schedule to help trigger blooming. I hope I won't screw them up this way but I'm getting impatient
- Hanged the lamp directly on a tent's top bar to win that last 10cm.
- The tallest is 85cm now with the lamp 45cm above her.
Friday update 2:
- Back to 20/4. What was I thinking? 🙈
Sunday update:
-Getting worried a bit but I found another diary of the same seeds Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel and it looks like my little girls will bloom anytime.
- Thanks to @CrazyHorse for reassuring advice on how it's normal and I'm overreacting a bit. These are my first girls and I wouldn't like them to be smoked by tracksuit blokes around the corner. That's how that tardiness starts.🤣
After all it was a good week. Some leaves got yellow and a bunch more small leaves appeared on the bottom. Well that's a Monday job.
Starting the 8th week with some defoliation. Cleared the bottom half of all three girls. They look prettier than before.
Compared my grow with another Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel grow and I noticed buds growing in 8th week so I'm hoping the same for my bitches. Started Bio-Bizz's Top-Max and Bio-Bloom to the juice they drink. I'm saying juice 'cause it was water 6 products ago 😂 but it's all organic.
Wednesday update:
- Still not blooming. A bit worried now. Looking for answers, questioning validity of this reality 🤔
Thursday update:
- A fluke was made and I'm getting Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel sent by Dutch Passion. Turned out I'm growing photoperiods so switched to 12/12 cycle and thanked my lucky star the seed bank I chose was a good informed guess and they made things right. ✌️
Saturday update:
- The shortest girl is now the tallest at 105cm. It's 25cm from the lamp, I can't get it any higher, and I just switched them to 12/12 so they'll grow a bit more. No idea how to deal with it. Dr Google and @CrazyHorse to the rescue... 😎
- Introducing a passanger grow of Auto Euforia I'm adding to the tent in case I'm unknowingly growing a CBD strain. It's going to be 12/12 from seed with a separate diary. Haven't heard from the seed bank what were the fluked seeds, but the 4th plant won't hurt anything. And it's the free seed I got with last order.
Sunday update:
- Topped top 2 nodes on all three girls to make room.
Starting the 9th week still in veg state. They should bloom next week. I found out they are photoperiod feminised Bruce Lemon Diesel so I'm content for now.
Done some defoliation to free some of the plants' energy for blooming. I'm just an apprentice so It's an informed guess but I hope a right one. 🤔
Thursday update:
- They're still growing like, well, weeds. Found a way to increase the lamp height by another 25cm. That should be enough I hope 🤨🤔😇
Sunday update:
- All good. They grew up to 110cm the tallest one. They've been topped not long ago and they just caught up with some extra. I applaud their determination and F*CK U and your grow space attitude 😅
Starting the first week of blooming. I think they're blooming, pretty certain. Changed the way the lamp is hang to give them 15cm more space to grow but I have a feeling I'll have to bend them a lot when they bloom stretch.
SpongeBob hasn't visited last week due to obvious reasons. He just loves to smoke.
Giving them half a dose of grow fertilizer Fish-Mix hoping that it will prevent them from growing too much. I've no idea if that's a right move but I'll ask around later. The problem is that I started the grow convinced they're Autos but they're not. Bruce Lemon Diesel though but photoperiod and I kept them growing too long waiting for the auto bloom to kick in.
Anyhow, high hopes, quite solid ground under my feet, and a wonderful community support are there so what more can I ask for...
Tuesday update:
- White hairs appeared on all plants in so many places I'm amazed.
- Probably will need to buy a fan tomorrow.
Thursday update:
-110cm, 120cm, 130cm 😎. The girls grew a bit taller than planned. They have basketball for women now anyways 😂.
- They're flowering nice... 😍
Saturday update:
- The girls stopped growing at last. Bending will be necessary anyway but I think later.
- There's little buds all over them it's nice to look at.
- Put them back on 1ml/l fish mix.
- SpongeBob has chained himself to the air filter for some mysterious reason 🤣
Starting the week on Tuesday with optimism and sticky fingers. They're starting to smell more too. Some defoliation is in order...
Done some defoliation where sun don't shine. There's not much space and they're cramped together but I hope they'll be fine.
Friday update:
- The buds are visibly bigger. Loving it 😻
- Some leaves turned yellow but no panic yet 🤔
Sunday update:
- All going well. A couple of leaves got yellow but I can't even reach there it's so crowded there.
- SpongeBob turned out to be a hippie tree hugger and I had to use some pepper spray. 🤣
All good for now. Girls are fine and growing nice buds. May defoliate later the smaller branches with barely anything on them but I'm too off balance today. Come on girls, hurry up 😎
Sunday update:
- All going well in general, the girls are growing buds like crazy. 😍
- Done some minor defoliation on few yellow leaves that were only blocking the light. 🤔
- SpongeBob has seen Paulina and got embarrassed a bit. Good old humiliation... 🤔
- I guess 3-4 weeks till harvest. 😻🌍😇
Not much to say at the start of this week. All is good with the girls and I'm waiting mid-patiently. 😎
Thursday update:
- Everything going well. 😇
- Going to defoliate later 'cause I already watered them. Need to shine some light on the less fortunate flowersites.
- I smell like lemon pledge and I barely touched my little bitches. Making me proud farmer. 😅
Saturday update:
- Defoliation in progress...
- Done some defoliation and bending so I was able to lower the lights. The girls are like half-naked contortionists but they'll have more light 😎
Not much to say. All going well and I give it 3-4 weeks till harvest. Going to... ✌️💥😎
Also run out of Bio-Heaven and wandering if they'll be ok... Spoiled my darling little bitches like there's no tomorrow. 😂
Thursday update:
- Increased Top-Max to 4ml/l as per Bio-Bizz instructions.
- Running low on Alg-a-Mic so reduced it to 1ml/l. 🌦️
Sunday update:
- No complications whatsoever. 😌
- Cut off a small bit from one plant...
- Used food drier for a while...
- Love them buds already! And I suppose, just going into 6th week of actual flowering and that was just a taste of what's coming. 🤩
The week is a very rewarding one. Cut a piece to try and the bud is already at the level. Half of the white hairs are red and shriveled across the buds except those near to the lamp. I have a feeling the harvest time is coming fast... 😎
Stopping Bio-Grow and Alg-a-Mic but gonna feed them flowering stuff for a while. Not really sure how to judge when to flush but screw it! They say idiots tend to be lucky 🤣
Nothing special is happening this week except for me smoking a sh*t-load of the bud. Gave some to SpongeBob and he spent a week in a hospital with an imaginary blunt force head injury... 😂
Flushing this week and getting ready for harvest. It's the 8th week of actual flowering so I'm robbing my hands together and making witch sounds in my head 😅. But seriously, this bud is freaking witchcraft 🤩.
Kept it away from the public, but one of the girls is little different. I suspect a different strain or at least a major Fck-up at some point. I hope I won't have to put her in an institution 🧐. However it is, I'll still smoke her and actually have. She's good 😻.
Apart from this not much is happening except a regular quality testing...
Easy to grow; had no trouble at all with them. They don't smell as much as advertised but just walk into my home... Smelly enough!
Overdried the bud in the dryer and now I'm rehydrating with lemon peel. Smoked about 40g before harvest, there's easily 10g left on the branches and the harvest itself is 125g 🤩.
Good smoke with massive head effect. Overdid my dealer by a magnitude of head-high 😂.
My first grow ever is done! Generally happy with the experience and well motivated to go on. Motivated and stoned 🤣.
Had a little mishap with wrong seeds being sent but instead of auto I grew a photoperiods of the same strain which is a valuable experience.
Dried it in a food dehydrator and overdried it. Placed a lemon peel in each 25g bag to make it proper.
The bud is a head ripper to say at least. Forgetting where I am and what I'm doing on hourly basis 😎. Full blown SpongeBob is what it is.
Thanks for everyone's support during this first time ever grow and happy farming.
@love_2_grow, thanks. It's been 7 weeks since your comment and they're don't want to stop growing. Have you got any flowering vibes on your disposal? 🤔
@Ganja4Show, thanks. It's nice to get an online community support while actual local community has to stay unaware of our little hobby. Sending positive vibes.
@JamMAKEcan, @ClownBaby make a mistake, should be a "Happy" 😁
Everything mate but not a hippie 😳
You can be a Chewbacca, you can be a Chupacabra whatever bro, not a hippie.
btw. For the clarity, Napoleon Bonaparte is me 🤪🤪🤪
Amazing work you have done for your first crop!. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers based off what I see in your diary? First off, Cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity, It is the buds that hate it. Early on in veg we can capitalize on this for more vigorous healthy growth. We can look for temps up to 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. We do not want too big of a swing in temperature between lights on and lights off or we will encourage our plants to stretch more than we want them to. Also we can utilize humidity at this stage up to 75% in our rooms to really help maximize the plants growth. When our plants are small, Our roots are small. Cold temps will really stunt their development, especially during the night cycle as this is when plants do most of their growth. They will photosynthesize with lights on store up energy & when they go to sleep do most of their growth.
I recommend looking into vapor pressure deficit, Otherwise known as VPD. It will give you a much better understanding of how important temperature and humidity play a role in our plant development. Humidity is great early on to supplement our smaller plants root structures with some foliar intake from the leafs. But when we add in humidity we must do it right to make sure we are optimizing our VPD point. Please read this article and get used to using the chart that it has as well. Log your numbers daily!
https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/
Next, I would get yourself a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 64 MAX & a PAR meter to better read your plant's needs and grow to them. This equipment will also help us optimize our light to plant distances. Now lets talk about flowering. So after day 20 of flower the plant stops its vertical growth and now focus's 100% of its energy into budding. Before this point, We want our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off or the plant will stretch, But now the signal and response to stress has changed since it has finished its mission of growing up tall. Now we want to expose the plant to large temperature swings beyond 10 degrees less with lights off because now it will send energy into making bigger denser buds & producing more resin. This is all part of simulating the end of the season and activating the genetic signals within the plant to respond in kind. When we do the pull down, We never want to trim the plant wet or break it down at all. We want to hang it hole in a environment set to 45-50 degrees at 60% humidity for up to 16 days. This allows the plant to break down any potential left over starches or sugars or nutrients within it during this time the plant will produce even more resin & terpenes, This is where you get the true craft cannabis finish. If you have any questions please feel free to follow my profile & hit me up anytime! We are currently producing a tutorial series to teach everybody to grow high quality craft cannabis the grow diary for it is live right now on my profile & also the video series of it is live on my youtube, If that interests you head over and subscribe! It is linked off my GrowDiaries main profile.
Happy growing my friend!
@ClownBaby, I appreciate the kind words I am trying my best to help out the cannabis community and get everybody learning to grow the best weed out there. I have over 20 years working some of the most advanced facilities in B.C & learning from horticultural masters I feel it gave me a rare chance to learn about the plant on a very intimate level & I want to help everybody now learn about it that way, Its like baking cookies off a recipe or understanding the art of baking. Make sure to head over to our youtube and subscribe the first 2 episodes are out & the third one is on the way!

Good job with defoliation mate 😇 You done it very well, you have got a hand for plants 😁
Btw. And remember they are not a Bonsai Trees so you have to dry your buds after harvest, not during the flowering period...
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
@CrazyHorse, thanks. The bonsai business though wasn't entirely my fault but I keep it as a reminder together with one other plant that hasn't survived my care 🤔
@ClownBaby Soon they start to bloom 😇 Don't worry 🙏 It's looks like that strain need extra weeks on veg. The flowering could be very fast in other hand 😇
@CrazyHorse, thanks but the credit belongs to the green devil himself 😂 who for years has been trying to send all the dicks back where they belong and leave only the cool people ✌️. Having people coming to my doors to pray with me or for me or whatever but my girls bring me more joy anyway 😍
