discopriest379 This spring grow journal will be a bit different from my previous ones 😎. Fortunately, I have less work this year, so I can fully focus on my plants. My girls will also have some companions 🌱🌱🌱 — tomatoes, annuals, and perennials that I’ll move to the greenhouse and outdoors around late April or early May.
I’ll try to use the grow tent to its full potential, and I’m planning to experiment with LST and topping to keep everything airy and prevent problems with excessive humidity.
I also chose the “seed straight into the soil” approach, just like with my other plants — no special treatment this time. No exceptions! 😄

discopriest379 Everything is going according to plan so far 🌱. I planted the Lemon AK Auto a bit later because the seeds arrived late, so Break-Up and Runtz have a bit of a head start. Otherwise everything is growing without any problems.
The same goes for the other plants as well — tomatoes, annuals, and perennials are all doing great too 🍅🌸🌿.
discopriest379 Last week I did topping and LST on Break-Up and Runtz, and they handled it like champions 💪🌱. I’m not seeing any slowdown in growth at all.
The Lemon AK plants have really strong stems, and even though they’re smaller, they’re showing incredible growth vigor. They’re looking really good so far 🌿✨.
The other plants are doing great as well — it’s clear they enjoy the good company, and the tent and lights are treating them very well 🍅🌸🌿☀️.

discopriest379 This week went smoothly again with no issues, but most importantly, something big happened — Runtz is now in full flowering 🌸🔥 yeehaw 😄
Break-Up is a bit behind, but she’s already flowering as well.
On Wednesday, I lightly trimmed some fan leaves again. I’m really making sure everything stays airy to keep humidity as low as possible 🌿💨
The Lemon AK plants are very robust — the structure is really massive. I topped the bigger one on Friday, and the two smaller ones today ✂️🌱. I also removed a few leaves and will now give them some time to recover and regenerate 🌿✨
The annuals and perennials are doing their thing — every week they’re getting bigger and stronger, and I’m really happy with how growing them in “snail rolls” saves space 🌸🌿
I also have a lot of tomatoes, and they’re growing beautifully 🍅💚. Luckily they’re not stretching too much, which is perfect — I’m just slightly terrified of how many I have and what I’m going to do with all of them later 😄😲😝

discopriest379 This week went smoothly again 🌱. Break-Up and Runtz are now in full flowering, with Runtz still a bit ahead, which actually works well for me since she’ll finish earlier and free up some space in the tent — it’s starting to get pretty crowded in there 😄🌸.
The biggest Lemon AK is already in the early flowering stage as well, while the other two are still in preflower. I expect them to fully enter flowering next week 🌿✨.
I also noticed a slight Cal/Mag deficiency on Runtz and one of the Lemon AK plants, so just to be safe I added 1 ml/L of Plagron Cal/Mag to every watering 💧.
Next week I’ll stop using Power Roots and start adding Power Buds 🌸⚡. I may also slightly reduce the amount of Terra Bloom so it doesn’t become too much.
Tomatoes and the rest of the crew are doing fine too 🍅🌸🌿😄 — but I’m really hoping for better weather soon so they can finally move out to the greenhouse already 😄☀️.

discopriest379 This week was a bit hectic, but in the end I managed everything — even though my back is absolutely killing me 😄
Moving the annuals and perennials to the greenhouse went well, but I had to repot all of them right away and completely destroyed my back in the process 💀🌿. Unfortunately the painkiller isn’t ready for harvest yet, so for now the heating blanket will have to do😅.
The tent has a bit more space now, but the tomatoes are still starting to become huge 🍅. They clearly love the lights and all the attention — and honestly, I can’t blame them😇.
Break-Up seems to be slightly on strike and is taking a slower approach to flowering, but I’m not seeing any issues with the leaves or overall health. She’s just doing things at her own pace 🌸
Runtz is being a bit difficult — even though she’s getting Cal/Mag, the leaves are still turning yellow and I’m not really sure why. The buds are already getting pretty big though, and she smells beautifully fruity 🍓🌸
The Lemon AK plants are doing great — very healthy and vigorous, I really can’t complain about them 🌿✨
I’m paying very close attention to humidity, and whenever I water, I wipe up all the extra water with paper towels so the tent stays as dry as possible 💨
There are still a few weeks ahead of us, so I’m hoping everything continues to go smoothly 🌱✨

discopriest379 Another week behind us, everything is going well — no drama at all 🙂🌱
Runtz is slowly heading into the final stage, and I’d say she’ll be ready in about one to two weeks 🔥🌸
I have to give credit for the beautiful fruity aroma — every time I open the tent, she’s the one that stands out the most 🍓✨
***
As for Break-Up and Lemon AK, I’ll need to wait about three more weeks for harvest ⏳🌸
Break-Up is looking really good at this stage, I’m very happy with her so far ✨
***
The Lemon AK plants are still going strong with no issues at all 🌿💪 — I’m really curious to see how they’ll finish.

discopriest379 Runtz is heading into the final stage — this is her last week, so I’m watering daily with plain water only 💧
She smells absolutely amazing, and I really enjoy it every time I open the tent — she easily overpowers the aroma of Lemon AK and Break-Up 🍓🔥
Break-Up and the Lemon AK plants still have about two to three weeks to go, and they’re growing without any issues.
Break-Up is stacking a lot of buds — she’s completely covered, and I’m really curious to see how she’ll turn out 😄🌸
And the last photos are tomatoes… 😄🍅 it’s a full-on jungle at this point — I probably started them a bit too early, but oh well, it happens.
The greenhouse is already completely full too… 😄🌿
I’m thinking I might keep updating this journal from time to time with how the tomatoes and perennials are doing — just for fun 🍅.

discopriest379 This is one of the final weeks for these four ladies — Break-Up Cake and the Lemon AK plants 🌸
They’re ripening nicely and without any issues. I’ve got almost ideal conditions right now — warm and very dry — which really helps speed up the finishing process ☀️💨
I already harvested Runtz this Friday, and it was a smooth and easy job 😄✂️ I’ll add photos once the entire run is complete 📸
This is also the last week with nutrients — next week will be plain water only 💧
My next run will be fully outdoor, and I’m really looking forward to it 😄🌿☀️

discopriest379 Here we are — the final week for these beautiful ladies. Since Friday they’ve been getting only plain water, the buds are ripening beautifully, and the aroma… 😄 Now that Runtz is gone, Break-Up has really taken over — today I walked into the room and thought: this smells like a bakery in here 😄🍞✨ such a beautiful, unmistakable aroma.
The Lemon AK plants are a bit unusual — I can smell citrus, but at the same time something… different. I’m really curious how that will translate into flavor 🍋🌿.
I’m planning to chop on Thursday or Friday depending on time ✂️ — the garden is keeping me pretty busy as well, especially with the current spring drought, which isn’t ideal.
See you at harvest! 😄🌿✂️
discopriest379 Last week was absolute chaos for me, so I didn’t have time to post an update until now 😄🌪️.
Harvest was easy as fuck 😄✂️ because I really made sure not to let the plants get too leafy, so I basically had half the work and trimming went super fast 🌿✨.
Drying was the usual routine — cardboard boxes, stable temperatures, and good airflow 💨📦.
The buds are now nicely curing in jars 🍯🌸.
This was probably the easiest run I’ve had so far. Runtz had a few minor issues along the way, but nothing serious. Now I’m just looking forward to the first test 😄🔥🌿.
***
Lemon AK 🍋
An absolutely easy journey from germination all the way to the finish line. Very smooth and trouble-free growth, and even though two of the plants had tougher conditions, they handled it like champions🌱.
The aroma is very citrusy 😄🍋… honestly, I’m slightly scared of it.

Break-Up Cake 🍰🌸
Just like Lemon AK, she was a completely problem-free plant from start to finish. She only fully revealed her aroma near the end — and honestly, it makes your mouth water 😄🍞✨.

Runtz 🌸✨
Had some minor Cal/Mag issues along the way, but they improved pretty quickly. Absolutely beautiful aroma 🍓🔥
@Kali_flauer, Thank you so much! 🌱🙂
This is actually my first spring run with a mix of different plants in the tent. Unfortunately my greenhouse isn’t heated, and some annuals and perennials need to be started by the end of February, so the tent was the obvious choice 😄🌸🌿
What I’m slightly worried about now is the flowering period, because I really have to keep a close eye on humidity… bud rot is definitely not my friend 😅
I check the weather forecast every day, and it’s looking pretty good so far, so this weekend the cold-tolerant annuals and perennials will move to the greenhouse 🌿❄️. They can handle a light frost, but the tomatoes will keep my girls company for a bit longer — at least until the nighttime temperatures stay above 10°C 🍅🌙
Thank you for including our Brake Up Cake in this diverse garden you’re growing! 🌿✨
At Kannabia, we hope all the "young ladies" in your garden develop beautifully, and that you truly enjoy the process of taking care of them. We’re sending you our most intense orange vibrations 🧡 to make sure everything goes perfectly. Let’s do this! 🚀🔥
@Kannabia, Thank you for the beautiful message 🧡🌱
I’m really happy to have Break-Up Cake in my little garden crew — she’s doing amazing so far 💪✨.
Looks like all the ladies are enjoying the good company in the tent 😄🌿🍅.
Thanks for the orange vibrations — I’ll make sure to put them to good use! 😇😎
@GERGrowDesigns, Thank you so much 😇
I really appreciate it! The next few weeks will definitely be the most stressful part, but hopefully everything will keep going smoothly 🌸.
Good luck with your grow as well, and happy growing 🏆🌿.
Indeed! Your Break-Up Cake Auto is looking amazing 😍.
If she keeps this up, she’s going to give you a fantastic reward! She looks so happy alongside the rest of her sisters 🌿🌿 and her tomato companions! 🍅🍅🍅
