Dosy needed relatively long time to show her tail (compare to VM and PP in the same conditions)
*my diary was separated into 3 different ones. It’s simpler to me journaling this way. So this diary is only about Do Si Dos from Linda Seeds.
To see what I got with velvet moon go to another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/222602-velvet-moon-grow-journal-by-yamaguci
Power Plant is here https://growdiaries.com/diaries/222604-power-plant-grow-journal-by-yamaguci
- D8. Changed LED distance to 50cm
- D9. Changed LED distance to 40cm
- D10. Heating mat was switched off
- D14. LED dimmer set on 75% (as it runs out later in WK3 wasn’t right as a baby plants still don’t need much light as in a growth phase)
- D14 to D17 the LED dimming was set to 75%. As a result, very high temperatures during the day up to 30 degrees Celsius and running ventilation at full capacity
- D17. Changed the brightness of the LEDs by 25%. Waiting for the start of the growth phase when plants form their first five-leaflets. High temperature problem solved 👻
- D16. Started nutrition with organic stimulants.
- D20. The surge protector has tripped. As a result, the plants were left without light and ventilation for the last 5 hours of the day.
- D21. The surge protector has tripped again. Now on start of a light day. The system has been tested. A problem was detected in one of the power cord of LED. The Power Cord causing the short circuit in the network was then replaced with a new one. Problem solved 👻
D21 Some leaves started developing yellowish irregular spots on margins. Could be Calcium deficiency. Or just stressed after blackout days before
D22 organic activator started
D23 carbon filter arrived and was installed
D25 fertilizers started
D26 FIMed 5 nodes above
hope I missed it well enough 👽
D31
PROBLEM: Last week, the DSD and VM plants have been showing:
* Yellow dots on leaves
* Weakness on bottom nodes
* Burning on some large leaves
Observations:
* Symptoms appear to be stress from fimming 6 days ago and the introduction of fertilizers.
* Possible overdose of potassium/phosphorus (see Images).
* Incorrect pH level may also be a contributing factor.
SOLVING:
* Watering without fertilizer, but using a pH regulator.
* Adjust lights to 40 cm above plants.
* Dim lights to 40-50% intensity.
* Open side pockets to allow more fresh air from outside and decrease temperature.
Next Steps:
* Monitor plant response to adjustments over the next few days.
* Test pH levels regularly to ensure they are within the optimal range.
* Observe for any further signs of stress or improvement.
Notes:
* Keep a close eye on nutrient levels and adjust feeding schedule as necessary.
* Consider potential environmental factors that may be affecting plant health.
D33 watering without fertilizer started
D33 set lights dimming on 75%
See you soon 👽
D36 LST started
D37
PROBLEM:
All plants are looking weak:
- leaves down
Observation:
- high T28
- dimming 75%
- lights distance 33 cm
SOLVING:
- dimming on 40%
- lights distance 38cm
- T25.1 H52
- watering (! this was a need to be done)
Additional Recommendations:
* Monitor Humidity: Ensure that humidity levels are appropriate for your plants, as high temperatures can lead to increased transpiration and stress.
* Check Watering: Ensure that your plants are adequately watered, as stress can also be a result of underwatering or overwatering.
* Observe Plant Response: After making these adjustments, monitor your plants closely for signs of recovery or further stress.

See you soon farm 🐞 happy growing 🌱👽
This week has been quite enlightening as I've delved deeper into the watering needs of my plants during this phase
📚I've learned that consistency is key; it's not just about how much water they need, but also the frequency of watering.
🍉 I've been experimenting with different schedules and observing how the plants respond
🐛 It’s fascinating to see how they thrive with the right balance.
🥑I’ve also noted the importance of checking the soil moisture regularly to avoid overwatering or underwatering.
This knowledge will definitely help me optimize my watering routine moving forward!
See you next week farm 📗 happy growing 🦖🦖🦖
Everything is going smoothly this week! Girls are thriving in their flowering phase.
While the photo doesn’t capture it, the sweet, honey-like aroma is absolutely delightful.
I’m checking in every evening (morning for the grow box) and watering every 2 days.
Excited to see how they continue to develop!
🍯🐝
This week marks the full third week of flowering, and I’m pleased to report that everything is going carefully good!
The plants are looking vibrant and healthy, with lush foliage and a sweet aroma. I've been consistent with watering every two days to keep the soil moist. Daily monitoring of temperature and humidity ensures optimal conditions.
Today, I added more nutrients per the supplier's schedule, outlined in the circular diagram below. The plants seem to be responding well, and I'm excited to see their continued development.
Overall, I'm feeling optimistic about the progress. Happy growing! 💛🦖
This week has been great for my plants! 🦖🦖🦖
They're thriving with lots of flowers.
I've been sticking to the supplier's nutrition schedule, and it’s paying off!
Made a slight change to my watering routine—now every 3 days.
Also did some defoliation and reorganized the grow box to optimize LED lamp reach.
Fingers crossed they keep adapting well! 🍉🐛
WK14, D98
Watering Schedule: Adjusted to every 2 days (previously 3) for Velvet Moon.
Light Check: Ensured all buds receive adequate LED light; balanced ScrOG system and checked lamp distance.
Nutrients: Planning to increase nutrient supply next week as per supplier's advice.
Overall Health: Everything looks good—happy with progress and enjoying the grow!
Happy growing! 🦖🦖🦖
Grower Diary - Week 15 Entry
Accomplishments Last Week:
Week 15 is officially complete! This week, I focused on defoliating all the green growth that was deep under the SCROG. It was essential to ensure that the plants received adequate light and airflow. I also made some adjustments to the nutrition scheme, which you can check out in the diagram below. Additionally, I reduced the watering frequency to better suit the plants' needs at this stage.
Plans for Next Week:
Looking ahead, I plan to monitor the daily humidity levels and the distance to the LED lamp closely. I'm really enjoying how the girls are looking and smelling at this point in their growth. It's a rewarding sight!
Problems We Are Facing:
One concern I have is whether there is enough space for the buds on the SCROG. I'm contemplating whether I should cut more leaves to allow more light to reach the deeper sides of the buds. I'm not entirely sure, but I plan to address this issue on Wednesday and Saturday when I open the grow box on all available sides to assess the situation better.
Overall, I'm excited about the progress and looking forward to the coming week! 🦖🦖🦖
Week 7 Flowering Update:
This week has been a smooth ride, with no major issues or concerns. The plants are thriving and looking healthy. As we approach the final stretch, I'm excited to see the buds start to ripen.
Nutrition Plan:
Next week will be the last week of feeding with nutrients. After that, I'll be switching to a water flush for one week to help the plants purge any excess nutrients and promote a cleaner flavor.
Current Status:
💚 7 weeks into flowering
🦖 No major issues or problems
🍏 Plants are healthy and thriving
✅ Last week of nutrient feeding next week
🍉 Water flush scheduled for the following week
Happy growing, farm! 🦖🦖🦖
This week, I unfortunately missed a day of recording in my diary.
However, I want to emphasize that I did not critically monitor the humidity levels in the grow box, which led to some issues that I will describe in my next entry.
It's important to stay vigilant about environmental conditions, as they can significantly impact plant health. I plan to implement a more consistent monitoring routine moving forward to prevent similar problems in the future.
Looking forward to sharing more details and updates in the next entry!
Happy Growing
This week started with a massive defoliation of all plants, as they now have a minimum of two weeks until harvest. The goal was to improve airflow and light penetration, which is crucial at this stage.
Bad News: Unfortunately, I lost some buds due to the onset of mold, likely caused by high humidity levels. I had to cut them out to prevent further spread. It's a tough lesson, but it's essential to stay vigilant.
In addition to the defoliation, I began watering without any nutrients this week, using pure water with the necessary pH levels. This should help flush out any residual nutrients and prepare the plants for the final stretch.
Moving forward, I will be more attentive in the coming week, closely monitoring the plants and ensuring adequate ventilation. I will also keep a close eye on the trichomes to gauge their readiness for harvest.
Overall, it's a critical time, and I need to stay proactive to ensure a successful finish.
The challenges are tough, but I'm determined to learn and adapt for the best possible outcome. 🦖🦖🦖
