Daris_Growmance This week brought an important realization: The plants were simply in too small pots for too long, and on top of that, the conditions were far from optimal. In the basement, it was way too cold at 8–10 degrees to properly raise young plants. Growth was hardly possible, of course. So I pulled the emergency brake: Repotted into 11L pots and supported with Kickoff Microbial Life from Crazy Hills (11g per pot) to best assist the restart. Now it's all about stabilizing, building roots, and gradually getting back into the flow 🌱🔥 Updates to follow.

Daris_Growmance The plants have clearly bounced back in the last few days. Leaf position and growth are now stable, and new growth is starting cleanly. The cuttings have been in the medium for about a week and are showing the first clear signs that they have settled in. Still cautious, but on a good path. Overall: transition from stress → growth is happening. 🌱

Daris_Growmance Roswell Code – Veg Update Today there was an important update for the Roswell Code 🌱 The cuttings were repotted into 11-liter pots, where they will also stay as mother plants. Right after repotting, they were of course thoroughly watered. Also, today was the first time they received nutrients: about 2.5 liters per pot at EC 0.9 (Grow nutrients) – intentionally dosed moderately to slowly acclimate the plants to nutrients. Slight repotting stress is still visible, which is completely normal, but overall I'm very satisfied with the development over the last few days. The color is right, growth is starting, and the foundation for the next steps is laid. Now it’s time to let them settle in, let the roots work – from here on, it can only get better 🌿🚀 Stay tuned ✌️

Daris_Growmance 🌱 Roswell Code – Topping Update Yesterday, the Roswell Code was topped ✂️🔥 The plants have really taken the cut well – no drooping, no stress, nice upright foliage, and vigorous new growth. Just what you want after topping 💪 Right now, I'm letting them grow in peace for a bit so the new shoots can develop properly. As soon as they have built up some decent mass again, I'll lightly defoliate in the next few days to: bring more light to the interior improve air circulation optimally promote the side shoots So far, they look very stable and healthy – rich green, compact growth, and good structure. On to the building phase 🚀

Daris_Growmance 🌱 Update – First LST Day & Watering in 100×100 Today was an important step in the tent 👨‍🌾🔥 For the first time, I applied LST on the larger plants and carefully tied down the main stems. The goal is to let the side branches grow evenly upwards and build a flat, homogeneous canopy. Also, watering was done today (until slight drainage). Now the ladies get some time to adjust to the training and continue to thrive. Current impression: ✔️ Color stable ✔️ No signs of deficiency ✔️ Plants look vigorous ✔️ Structure is starting to open nicely The plan is to observe how they react to the first training over the next few days. I want to switch to flowering relatively soon, but first build a bit more area. First create structure – then decide to flip 🌿

Daris_Growmance 🌸 Blütetag 1 – Umstellung auf 12/12 Gestern haben wir offiziell die Blüte eingeleitet und auf 12/12 umgestellt. Damit startet jetzt die Stretch-Phase und die Pflanzen gehen langsam in den Blütemodus über. Heute Morgen wurde gegossen und dabei gab es eine Übergangs-Düngung mit Crazy Hills Nutrients, damit die Pflanzen den Wechsel möglichst stressfrei schaffen. Verwendete Nährstoffe (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – weiterhin leicht mitgegeben für den Übergang Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – als Start in die Blütephase Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – zur Unterstützung der frühen Blütenbildung Elix (All-in-One Booster) – als zusätzlicher Support im Mix Zusätzlich wurden heute einige Blätter entlaubt (Defoliation), um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe zu bringen. Ziel ist es, die Pflanzen jetzt sauber und offen in die Stretch-Phase zu schicken. Die Pflanzen zeigen noch leichte Anzeichen vom Training und der Umstellung, was direkt nach dem Flip normal ist. Jetzt geht es vor allem darum, die Bedingungen stabil zu halten und sie in Ruhe in die Blüte starten zu lassen. Training / Setup LST bleibt aktiv, damit das Canopy möglichst gleichmäßig ist. Die beiden hinteren Pflanzen (Roswell Code) wurden gezielt geöffnet und verteilt, damit mehr Licht ins Innere kommt. Ziel ist ein flaches, gleichmäßiges Dach für die Stretch-Phase. Da ich übers Wochenende unterwegs bin, wurde die Blüte bewusst jetzt eingeleitet, damit alles stabil läuft, während ich weg bin. Jetzt heißt es beobachten, ruhig bleiben und den Stretch arbeiten lassen 🌱 🌸 Flowering Day 1 – Flip to 12/12 Yesterday we officially switched to 12/12, starting the flowering phase. The plants are now entering the stretch period and slowly transitioning into bloom mode. This morning they received a full watering with a transition feed using Crazy Hills Nutrients to help them move smoothly into flowering. Nutrients used (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – still included lightly for the transition phase Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – introduced to start flowering nutrition Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – added to support early flower development Elix (All-in-One Booster) – extra support within the mix Today I also did some defoliation, removing selected fan leaves to improve airflow and allow more light to reach lower growth. The goal is to send them into stretch with a cleaner, more open structure. The plants still show slight stress from training and the recent flip, which is totally normal at this stage. The main goal now is to keep conditions stable and let them settle into flower. Training / Setup LST remains in place to maintain an even canopy. The two plants in the back (Roswell Code) were opened up and spread out for better light penetration. Goal is a flat, even canopy going into stretch. I decided to flip now because I’ll be away over the weekend, so this timing keeps everything stable while I’m gone. Now it’s time to watch the stretch and let them do their thing.🍀

Daris_Growmance 🇩🇪 Grow Diaries – Blüte Tag 6 Heute ist Blüte Tag 6. Die Pflanzen wurden gegossen, wobei die vorderen Pflanzen eine leichte Nährlösung bekommen haben. Die hinteren Pflanzen wurden nur mit pH-reguliertem Wasser gegossen, da sie zuvor leicht unterwässert waren und sich erst wieder stabilisieren sollen. Zusätzlich wurde etwas LST durchgeführt und einige Triebe nachgezogen, um die Pflanzenstruktur während des Stretchs besser zu kontrollieren und eine gleichmäßigere Lichtverteilung zu erreichen. Aktuell zeigen zwei Pflanzen etwas dominanteres Wachstum, während die anderen kompakter bleiben. Insgesamt wirken die Pflanzen gesund und der Stretch beginnt sichtbar. Klima im Zelt liegt ungefähr bei 21°C und ca. 54% Luftfeuchtigkeit. Ziel für die nächsten Tage ist es, den Stretch zu beobachten, die Höhenunterschiede leicht auszugleichen und die Pflanzen stressfrei in die frühe Blüte zu begleiten. 🇬🇧 Grow Diaries – Flower Day 6 Today is flower day 6. The plants were watered, with the front plants receiving a light nutrient solution. The plants in the back were watered only with pH-adjusted water because they had shown signs of slight underwatering and need some time to recover. Some additional LST was done and a few branches were adjusted to improve structure during the stretch and to create a more even light distribution. Two plants are currently showing more dominant growth, while the others remain more compact. Overall, the plants look healthy and the stretch phase has clearly started. Environment inside the tent is around 21°C with approximately 54% relative humidity. The goal for the next few days is to monitor the stretch, balance canopy height slightly, and guide the plants smoothly through early flowering without stress.

Daris_Growmance 🌿 Flowering – Week 3 🌿 The ladies are now fully in stretch and developing more and more bud sites. The canopy is slowly filling up and the first small flowers are visible everywhere. The plants look healthy and are beautifully praying to the light – exactly what you want to see at this stage. Now begins the time when the buds will slowly start to build up. Patience pays off. Grow is running stable – let’s keep going. 🌱🔥

Daris_Growmance Wintergrow – little update ❄️🌱 Yesterday was actually a quiet day in the tent – no cutting, no bending, just watching. The stretch seems to be pretty much over now. Most of the plants have reached their height and are now focusing more on bud formation. You can slowly see little bud sites developing everywhere. I'm especially happy about the former problem child in the back. She's really bounced back and looks much more vigorous now. Let's see how she develops in the next few days – it definitely looks promising at the moment. The plants in the back might still stretch a little, but I think most of the growth is now complete. We're slowly moving into the phase where the buds start to really build up. Today we'll check in briefly and then see how everything continues to develop. Wintergrow is running stable 🌱

Daris_Growmance 🌿 Grow Diary – Flower Day 28 🌿 Exactly one month since switching to 12/12 – we’ve officially reached the end of week 4. This week we did some light lollipopping ✂️ Everything in the lower area that wasn’t getting much light was removed, so the plants can focus their energy on the top buds. The structure is now much cleaner and more open, improving both light penetration and airflow. The buds are developing more and more and are just starting to enter the real bulking phase 🔥 So far, the plants look stable, healthy, and are responding exactly how you’d want them to. Now it gets interesting – the next few weeks will define yield and quality. 📅 Status: Flower Day 28

Daris_Growmance Deutsch: Blüte läuft – jetzt heißt’s einfach machen lassen 🌱 Lollipopping ist erledigt und die Mädels stehen jetzt sauber im Setup. Die Energie geht komplett in die Buds und man sieht von Tag zu Tag, wie sie anziehen. Aktuell wird nicht mehr groß eingegriffen – Fokus liegt jetzt auf stabilem Gießen, sauberem Klima und einfach beobachten. Die Struktur passt, die Tops entwickeln sich gleichmäßig und die ersten Frost-Ansätze sind auch schon gut sichtbar. Ab jetzt: weniger machen, mehr wachsen lassen 🤝 Bin gespannt, was die nächsten Wochen noch bringen. English: Flowering is in full swing – now it’s all about letting them do their thing 🌱 Lollipopping is done and the girls are looking clean in the setup. All the energy is going straight into the buds, and you can see them stacking up more every day. At this point, there’s not much intervention needed – just focusing on consistent watering, a stable environment, and keeping a close eye on everything. Structure looks solid, tops are developing evenly, and the first nice frost is already coming in. From here on: do less, let them grow 🤝 Excited to see how the next weeks turn out.

Daris_Growmance 🇬🇧Flower Day 42 – End of Week 6 The plants continue to develop steadily without any noticeable issues. With the end of week 6, the stretch phase is fully completed and the focus is now clearly on further bud density. Over the past few days, the buds have visibly increased in size and are starting to tighten up. Resin production is picking up significantly, especially on the Permanent Chimera in the back, which are also beginning to show slight color changes. The Roswell Code in the front remains very consistent. Even growth, stable leaf color, and clean, compact bud structure – overall a very controlled and smooth run so far. Some minor adjustments were made in the tent: A few branches were supported to handle the increasing weight. Light distribution and airflow remain well balanced, and the canopy is mostly even. Feeding and watering are running stable at the moment. The plants are responding well, so no changes are planned for now. With the start of week 7, the focus now shifts fully towards density and the early stages of maturation.

Daris_Growmance Wintergrow 🌱❄️ The run is slowly coming to an end. The Permanent Chimera in the back area is just about ready for harvest and shows a strong finish with dark colors and plenty of frost. In the front area, the Roswell Code is still taking a bit longer and is expected to need another week or two to fully mature. The buds are continuing to develop and are currently gaining good mass. The difference between the strains is clearly visible – both in growth and ripening behavior. Now it's time for the final phase: Patience, clean work, and making the most of the last days. The winter run has definitely delivered 🔥❄️

Daris_Growmance 🇬🇧Wintergrow Update ❄️🌱 The Permanent Chimera was harvested on Sunday and is currently drying in DryFerm Bags – turned out with some really nice, dense buds 🔥 Super excited to see how she develops after curing. The other ladies, Roswell Code, got to enjoy an extra week to fully mature 💪 They’ve now had their first flush and are slowly heading into the final stage. You can clearly see them fading now and using up their last reserves – exactly what you want to see towards the end 👌 If everything goes as planned, harvest day for the rest will be this weekend ✂️🔥 Overall, a really solid run – more than happy with the results 🙏 Now it’s all about the final push and then enjoying the rewards 😎

Daris_Growmance 🇩🇪 Wintergrow Harvest ❄️🌿 The winter grow is officially finished — and honestly, I’m more than happy with the results. 🔥 Towards the end the plants produced some really nice compact buds and delivered surprisingly well despite a few struggles during the run. Everything is now drying slowly and the first impressions already look very promising. The smell during trimming was absolutely insane. 👀 And of course, I somehow ended up with exactly 49 grams in total. Completely legal. Not a single gram more. Definitely. 😉😂 This run taught me a lot once again, and now the upcoming RS11 phenos are already waiting to start the next chapter. The grower winter is officially over. 🌱🔥
