Diesel Dessert

Reeflove Diesel Dessert – Week 2 Grow Diary (Days ~8–14 from Emergence) Genetics: Diesel Dessert Phenotypes: P1, P2, P3 Stage: Early Vegetative Medium: Pro-Mix (seed start), later transplant to living soil bed Lighting: LED, moderate intensity 300 PAR (seedling → early veg range) Environment: • Temp: ~80–85°F • RH: ~75–85% early, gradually easing toward high 70s • Airflow: Gentle, indirect Growth Overview Week two marked the transition from seedling to early vegetative growth. All three phenotypes successfully established true leaves and began stacking nodes. Pheno 2 showed slightly stronger early vigor and leaf size, while Phenotypes 1 and 3 lagged slightly but remained healthy and upright. Feeding & Watering • Watering remained conservative, primarily small top-waterings to encourage root expansion. • Initial nutrition relied on what was present in the medium. • Toward the end of the week, preparations were made to introduce a proper vegetative feeding schedule (BuildASoil Week 2 veg inputs). Observations / Issues • Growth rate is much faster than my last grow. I think this is mostly attributed using pro-mix for seed starting on this run. • Leaves remained generally healthy green; minor variation in vigor between phenotypes noted. • Environmental conditions were stable, though humidity management required active adjustment. Actions Taken • Light intensity adjusted upward slightly to support vegetative momentum. • Humidity gradually reduced from seedling-range toward veg-appropriate levels. • Planning initiated for transplant into final containers / living soil bed to avoid root restriction. Assessment Week two was about survival, establishment, and root building, not explosive growth. While the plants were smaller than some comparative examples, they remained structurally sound, responsive, and healthy. No irreversible issues identified at this stage.

Reeflove Diesel Desert — Week 3 Grow Diary Stage: Vegetative (end of Week 3) Day: ~15–21 from emergence Medium: Living soil grow bed Phenotypes: P1, P3 Week 3 focused on establishment and dialing in the environment. Both phenotypes are healthy and actively growing, with visible differences in vigor. P1 showed mild upward leaf curl and slight tip yellowing on new growth mid-week, which resolved after reducing light intensity and pausing feeding. No deficiencies progressed. The grow bed was fully hydrated prior to transplant, with EcoWitt moisture readings holding around ~40 at depth. Roots are expected to access deeper moisture; no signs of over- or under-watering were observed. Straw mulch continues to protect soil biology. Feeding remained minimal and biology-focused. Dynomyco was applied at transplant for P1 and P3. Inputs were paused after minor stress signals to allow the soil–plant system to rebalance, which resulted in improved leaf posture and new growth by week’s end. No training was performed during Week 3. Plants were allowed to recover and establish before manipulation. Assessment: Week 3 was about restraint rather than pushing growth. Environmental corrections were effective, and the plants are well positioned for training and expansion in Week 4.

Reeflove Diesel Dessert — Week 4 (Days 22–28 from emergence) Strain: Diesel Dessert (Type II) Breeder: Triangle Hemp Stage: Vegetative Grow style: Living soil bed (mulched) Week 4 dates: Feb 5 – Feb 11, 2026 Week 4 summary: Week 4 was primarily about structure and recovery after topping. P1 and P3 were topped early in the week (P1 more aggressively than P3). Both continued pushing new growth afterward, but P3 maintained stronger overall vigor while P1 showed a more noticeable stress response and lagged slightly in growth and leaf quality. During the week, P1 showed mild upward leaf curl and very slight tip yellowing on new growth. In response, light intensity was reduced slightly and feeding was not pushed. Leaf posture improved after the adjustment, and new growth remained active. Older leaves on P1 continued to show some prior damage and decline, but there was no rapid progression suggesting an acute deficiency. Bed moisture trended lower over the week, so the focus stayed on monitoring plant posture and moisture rather than adding inputs. No major corrective rehydration or feeding actions occurred within this week window. Key actions taken (Week 4): • Topped P1 and P3 (P1 more aggressive; P3 light top) • Reduced light intensity slightly due to mild curl / slight tip yellowing • Kept feeding conservative (no top dress; no heavy pushes) Looking ahead (Week 5 preview): Early Week 5 got a little rough—plants showed more stress as the bed dried down further—but after rehydration and a proper vegetative feeding, they started bouncing back quickly.
