It's time to start the next growing season, and this round, I am to make my life as difficult as possible by growing five different cultivars in the same tent. I'm sure it will be a struggle to maintain an even canopy, but hey, we improve as growers by facing challenges and (hopefully) overcoming them.
I will keep a separate diary for each cultivar, and this diary will feature Divinations from Night Owl Seeds.

Night Owl Seeds - Divinations
Lineage: Pre 98 Episode 1 F4 x Wizard’s Apprentice F5
Genetics : Hybrid
Flowering Time: 75-85 Days from Sprout
Yield: 2-4 ounces
Divinations, a mesmerizing hybrid from Night Owl Seeds, harmoniously blends Wizard's Apprentice and Pre-98 Episode one F4 into an F1 hybrid. This variety stands out for its substantial resin output, causing plants to radiantly glow at night akin to street lights, making it a visual spectacle. Its vigorous growth results in large plants adorned with an abundance of bud sites and heavy flowers, which may require support as they mature.
The sensory profile of Divinations boasts a rich array of dark, earthy, and spicy notes, with some plants offering hints of spicy lime, offering a diverse and pleasurable experience. The consumption effects begin with an uplifting and invigorating head buzz that transitions into a soothing body stone, effectively alleviating discomfort.
In creating Divinations, the Pre 98 Episode 1 F4 mothers contributed significantly with their nearly identical autoflowering characteristics, solid stems, and robust branching. The Wizard's Apprentice F5 reversal, chosen for its robust structure and remarkable resin production, enhances the strain’s aromatic and visual appeal, emitting a delightful aroma of gas, haze, and lime.

I started, as I usually do, by soaking the seed overnight in a glass of water with mycorrhiza, kelp powder, and fulvic acid.
The next day, the seed was planted in a Root Riot plug.
Forty-eight hours later, we had germination.
Boom! We are on the way :)
The first week is done without much to report.
I was busy with work this week, so I waited longer before transplanting her into her final pot. Because she had stretched a bit, I planted her deeper than usual.
I left her alone for the rest of the week and let her do her thing.
The week has been uneventful, but she looks great—strong, vibrant, and healthy.
Earlier this week, I prepared some sprouted seed tea (SST) by sprouting 10 grams of barley seeds, 10 grams of corn, and 5 grams of alfalfa seed. I blitzed everything together in a blender with fulvic acid and some kelp meal. I then gave her one liter of SST.
That's all I did this week.
VPD: 0.8
DLI: 22
We're at the end of the third week, and she looks great and is starting to show signs of pre-flower
I had COVID this week, so I more or less ignored the grow the entire week, but I had to start training her.
I should have started a few days earlier as she had grown quite a bit, but hey, better late than never.
VPD: 0.8-1.0
DLI: 30
She is looking great. Healthy and vibrant.
The final week of vegetation has passed, and she is now truly in flower.
I continued doing LST and added a watering system and a camera in the tent, as I'm off on vacation tomorrow.
I returned home a few days ago after a ten-day vacation trip and found that she had increased a lot in size and bulk.
She was actually a bit too dense, and I defoliated her somewhat to increase the air circulation.
I also did some additional LST, which is late considering she is well into flower, but I wanted to open her up a bit more.
The DLI is around 45, so she is getting plenty of light to help her stack her colas.
I'm excited to see how she will develop, considering her sugar leaves are already getting coated with trichomes.
Another week has passed in the tent.
Earlier in the week, I brewed and fed her a compost tea from worm castings, insect frass, basalt, lime, kelp, dolomite, molasses, epsom salt, fulvic acid, and malted barley.
She looks good and is stacking her buds. However, there is discoloration on a few leaves and leaf tips. It doesn't look too bad, so I'm not concerned about it now.
I removed a few leaves to increase light penetration and airflow.
She is now in senescence, although not as fast as the Amulet girl.
Her buds are still relatively skinny, but we still have two-three weeks to go. So we'll see. In any case, there's less risk of botrytis with less chonky buds.
We're on the homestretch, and all I do is to give her water. She is now drinking less, which makes sense as she is losing biomass and transpiring less.
She smells straight-up pine with a slight lemon in the background.
Another uneventful week has passed.
I water every few days whenever the soil moisture drops low and remove leaves as they fade. That's it.
It's only a waiting game at this point.
She is fading nicely, and we're approaching the end.
I had a first peak at the trichomes; they were mostly milky, but there were still some clear and a few amber here and there.
I'll let her go for another week or so before the chop.
Boom! Touchdown.
After 11 weeks, I decided enough was enough and chopped her. I removed her fan leaves before hanging her to dry.
I converted my small tent into a drying tent as I didn't want to hang her together with the CBD girl due to her budrot.
The Inkbird controller in the tent will maintain around 60% humidity and temps should be low due to the time of year.
Now we wait.
Small/Medium sized plant. Terps were... maybe a bit piney, but overall lacking. High leaf-to-bud ratio with VERY sticky buds. Trimming was a nightmare due to all the leaves, and the scissors gunked up quickly due to the sticky buds.
Tested with my tCheck 3 to 22,5% THC.
I left her drying for 12 days. She doesn't smell much but then never had much of a smell besides a weak piney aroma.
The trim was a nightmare because she had so many leaves, and her buds were super sticky. It wasn't possible to finish even one whole branch before the scissors were gunked up.
Overall, this was a smooth grow. Besides a bit of training, I didn't do much. Perfect for a lazy stoner like me.
If you’re going to continue to grow autoflowers check out a grower who goes by the social media name of
“Autopotomus”
I believe after checking him out online you will have a different idea about autoflowering cannabis and how to grow it. He’s convinced me that an autoflower plant and a autopot bottom watering system are perfect for each other. I mean to water an autoflower by hand is almost impossible to zero in on because of the limited time they have if you screw it up. Autopots are there to give the perfect amount of water and it will take care of more than one plant at a time.
Happy g
Was asking myself why there were 3 ladies and only one mentionned in the first diary.... They look so nice and having 3 diaires for 3 plants even at the same time is a good idea instead of doing only one diary for 3 strains 👍🌱
Nice little Night Owls. I grew two Compound V last spring and they were such a fun plant to grow. Never had the chance to LST as they were too short and stout to bend over. Not to worry though because the side branches and main stem formed a nice canopy anyway. They only reached 27 inches in height but were wide at one of them coming in at 34 inches across. Each plant yielded over 4 ounces and were havested on day 88. Currently do not have a grow in progress but have purchased more Night Owl seeds from each of their last two drops, Chemdog91 auto, Vanilla Fizz, Blue Power auto, and a pack of High Lux.
love your set up! I am growing in a stairwell closet with a homemade light system happy gardening.
@sanibelisl, Thank you for your kind words, and nice haul! I also picked up a few packs in the latest drop: Blue Power, Serial Milk & Qookies Remix #2, and Midnight Mass. It will be exciting growing these out, although it'll have to wait as I have a photo run planned after this grow.
Drop me a line when you start your diaries. I'd love to follow along.
