On July 8th: I carefully place the seeds inside the germination container. To ensure optimal conditions for germination, I've prepared a well-draining soil mixture and adjusted its pH to 6.8 using water.
By July 10th: The germination phase has officially begun. I maintain a watchful eye on the soil moisture, ensuring it stays consistently damp but not waterlogged. Adequate moisture is crucial during this critical phase to encourage healthy seedling development.
On July 12th: The plants have emerged from their seed casings and are now visibly open, displaying their first pair of true leaves. At this stage, I introduce a small but measured dose of Bio Bizz Root Juice. This specialized fertilizer contains premium humic acid and seaweed extracts, which stimulate root development and overall plant vigor. These nutrients are essential for establishing a strong foundation for the plants.
On July 15th: The development of the leaves is now complete, and I can also observe the initial growth of the central stem. The seedlings have successfully transitioned from the fragile germination phase to robust young plants. To support their continued growth, I've decided to provide a balanced nutrient mix.
For feeding, I anticipate the plants' needs and administer 1ml of Bio Bizz Bio Grow per liter of water. Bio Grow is derived from sugar beets or sugar cane through a natural fermentation process. The starches in the sugar are enzymatically converted into glucose and other essential plant nutrients. This combination serves as a rich and organic food source for beneficial soil microbes, fostering a healthy soil ecosystem.
In addition to Bio Grow, I incorporate Fish Mix, an organic fish emulsion sourced from the North Sea, into the mix. This fish emulsion is enriched with extracts from 100% organic Dutch sugar beets, providing a further boost of nutrients. Together, these natural fertilizers contribute to robust plant growth and vibrant foliage.
On July 15th, the development of the leaves came to a halt, and at this point, I could also observe the first stage of growth in the central stem.
For feeding, I made the decision to be proactive by providing 1ml of Bio Bizz Bio Grow, derived from sugar beets or sugar cane created through a natural fermentation process, for every 1 liter of water. Starches in the sugar are then treated with enzymes to produce glucose, which, along with other plant nutrients, serves as a rich food source for soil microbes. Additionally, I used Fish Mix, an organic fish emulsion from the North Sea, mixed with extract from 100% organic Dutch sugar beets.
On the 20th, the condition of the plant remained nearly the same, but I observed significant root development. Since the soil was already dry, I administered 1 liter of water along with 2 ml/L of Bio Bizz Bio Grow, 2 ml/L of Fish Mix, 2 ml/L of Bio Haven, and, finally, 2 ml/L of Acti Vera.
By the 23rd, the plants had experienced rapid growth, owing in part to the effectiveness of Bio Grow. I can confidently state that the plants have grown at least tenfold in just four days. For feeding, I followed the same regimen as before. I prefer not to stimulate excessive growth during this stage, as it can potentially lead to various issues during the flowering phase.
As of August 4th, we are nearing the end of the third week since the seeds germinated. The development of our plants has been impressively rapid and continues to thrive. The autoflowering plant variety we've chosen is proving to be remarkably easy to cultivate, and we're already beginning to see the formation of buds.
One noteworthy aspect to mention, however, is that autoflowering plants tend to have a lower number of branches. Typically, they develop around six or seven branches leading up to the top bud.
On August 10th, just six days since our last observation, there's been a substantial transformation in the development of our plants. Now, the early stages of bud formation are unmistakable. It's an exciting phase of growth.
Notably, the structural components of the plants have primarily concentrated themselves on the branches, which is promising for the future weight and quality of the buds. However, it's crucial to be mindful of a potential issue: if the buds grow too large, there's a risk of the branches sustaining damage or even breaking.
To address this concern, we employ a technique known as High-Stress Training (HST). During this phase, we intentionally create small, controlled damage throughout the branches. This strategic approach induces a network of microfractures along the branches, allowing them to flex and adapt as the buds continue to grow. It's a delicate but essential process for optimizing bud development.

This revised script maintains a professional tone while providing a clearer explanation of the changes observed in the plants and the purpose of the High-Stress Training technique. If you have any further details or specific points you'd like to add or modify, please feel free to let me know.
At this stage, which marks the 13th day since planting in this stadium of plants, I can confidently confirm that the flowering phase has commenced. The development of the buds is now visibly apparent, and our focus will shift towards enhancing the trichomes and terpenes in these buds.
During this phase, it is advisable to maintain the low-stress training regimen and consider discontinuing high-stress training. One of these two varieties is the Purple Queen, which already possesses black purple genetics. My objective is to further enhance the coloration of the buds. Additionally, I've observed that the Northern Light strain appears to be progressing at a slower rate compared to the others. However, it is compensating with more robust bench and leaf development. I am hopeful that it will only slightly lag behind during the harvesting phase.
I am conscious of the substantial quantity of fertilizer I am providing to the plants and the potential for overstimulation. If you have any recommendations on this matter, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Well guys what can i say, it's the 20th day of this journey, and I'm thrilled to report some significant progress with the buds over the past week. I'm delighted to see crystals forming on the top of the buds. There's just a minor issue with the pots and the root development; it seems like they haven't fully developed yet.
I've also noticed that the buds are getting quite large compared to the branches. I'm considering creating a support net for them. The lighting is currently at its maximum height, so I won't be able to increase the distance from the plants. My hope is that in the next couple of weeks, the branches will develop further, allowing us to increase the bud weight.
The plant with the genetic defect has developed more than expected. I'll likely keep it separate until the end to observe if there are any differences in the buds compared to the others.
Hello everyone, this is my first diary here. I would appreciate your expert opinion on how you think my growing process is going and if you have any tips to improve it. Thank you.
Looks like everything is going great. All I would suggest next time is tie your main cola down when it's growing to let the lower colas reach the same height. You will get a much more even canopy then. I wouldn't top an auto because with autos they can throw a hissy fit and you don't have time for them to recover before there predetermined flower cycle starts.
On the 27th, things took a dark turn, and I'm struggling to pinpoint the issue. I suspect it's related to the excessive fertilizer and pH imbalance. In hindsight, I overlooked the importance of using control strips to check pH levels.
A couple of days later, I discovered my pH meter was malfunctioning, compounding the problem.
Looking back, I'm filled with regret and uncertainty, learning the hard way about the importance of attention to detail in my passion.
Guys, this is the current condition of the leaves. I believe it might worsen in the next week. My question is, could the plant not have absorbed nutrients due to excessively acidic pH levels?
If they burned like this its not only ph, you put too low ph and feed together, i saw your other question and top foto, honestly you are fucked.
You will get some result, but it will be pitty of what if ....
First return to wet/dry , she has to start drinking. Only 6.3 ph water when needed and as much as needed.
I dont believe in flush in soil, never had good result as correction tool, it works in hydro or coco, not here.
With second watering add 0.25-0.5 ml of CalMag to water.
When she will dry out twice pot, give her last plain watering, only then try to return to feeding schedule if it will be any time left for that.
She will develop way weaker and slower, so don't screw up more.
The middle bud on the Northern Light is growing significantly slower than the others. I'm wondering if there's any way I can accelerate the plant's growth?
At this stage you should have stopped the Cal+Mag and switched for Mag+Sulfur. But this will be for the next growth. And as I already recommended to you, you reached the level where you must get a pH meter and a good EC meter if you really want to improve your growth.
