This diary started technically on the 16th of Feb. 2020. We have started germing our seeds. Will update once we see the diesel pop and plant inside the solo cup for a future 2 gal pot home with potential topping/HST. Our tent is practically setup beside the basic things. Our medium is mixed with a 50/50 hand ratio of fox farm soil and mother perlite mix. She should enjoy her home and hopefully before the end of the official veg. 2nd week, we top above the end node/chop the third node and any other branches below the 2nd node. I want to mainline this girl inside a 2 gallon pot. I'm using all fox farm with cal mag including, terpinator, flower fuel, and maybe some raw sweetener. We will veg for multiple toppings and only go as far as week 7. I hope to ramp her up to push her to a few colas in 4 to 5 weeks but it will depend on how she responds to my techniques and how the other grows/diaries follow along as well. Stay tuned we are now on 2/19/20 hopefully by tomorrow we will have grown our tail and began planting.👽 2/21/20 - She has been planted and been given 1ml of water on the top soil. 2/22/20 - No head popping through the soil quite yet. Gave 2ml of water this time. 2/23/20 - Popping finally. 2ml of water. Day 1 veg. 2/24/20 - Gonna lower the lights gradually to 24 over the next week. She is thriving. 2ml of water. Hope to see those woman leaves start to grow! 2/25/20 - Man she is tiny. No watering today. 2/26/20 - Day 4 of life. Gave her 4ml of water today and dropped the light from a measured 35 inches to 30. Will drop the light to 24 inches tomorrow for faster growth. 2/28/20 - Day 6. 8ml of water today and lights are now at 24 inches. Shes very small so unsure why compared to anything else in my tent. Will keep posted. 2/29/20 - Little water today. Updated pics. Hopefully next week she moves quick. She looks fine just small as shit. No 2nd leaves out yet.

3/1/2020 - Day 8. Looks healthy but no sign if growth. Her roommates are being treated the same going to give her more time. Watered 8ml today updated pics. 3/3/2020 - Day 10. Gave 10ml of water. I can tell she gained some height and is developing inner second leaves aka 2nd node. I believe shes finally starting to move. Trying to decide if I want to solo cup her or 2 gal her? Comment below! Updated pic. 3/6/2020 - Updated pics. Day 13. Shes starting to finally move more. Either she will get minimal training before the flip or remain in the solo cup due to her slow growth. Only time will tell.

3/8/2020 - No watering Today. Shes finally coming along. Seems she will be a small one at the moment. No transplanting?! 3/9/2020 - Day 16. Small one. Thinking of giving her another week and maybe i can too her? Transplant later due to her slow growth. Idk going to see how this plays out. 3/12/2020 - Updated pics shed growing slow but steady will give first set of nutes next week and hopefully transplant her into a small 1 gallon along with her 2 gallon roommates for more space. Probably the smartest thing to do for everyone 🤘 3/14/2020 - End of the week guys. Day 21. Shes moving and started 2nd node. We will transplant her in 2 days and we will top before we flip to flowering.

3/17/2020 - Day 24 today. We fed her some nutes around 1 cups worth of water. She got topped and is preparing for 4 colas hopefully. Not long before the flip. 1/4 tsp per gallon of water on all nutes.

3/31/2020 - Slow grower and drinker. Shes been slow regardless of what I do but that's fine. Most likely genetics played a part of this. Shes been treated like her sisters so yeah. Nonetheless shes growing and blooming! Small stretching. Read shes supposed to be short and bushy which is good! 4/3/2020 - Girl is being good. Let's see if we can pull and oz and a half or more. Upped nutes today and line.

Man I totally need to update this chick more. She has exploded. She has some nice fat buds incoming. Added flower fuel. 1/4th to the gallon of water. Also upped cal mag to 1 tsp. Gonna cut back on grow next week. We are ending week 5 of flower for this balanced hybrid. She has been fun to watch 🤓

4/10/2020 - This girl is mostly cloudy right about now with some clear. Shes getting pretty plump. 4/13/2020 - What I've learned with growing this girl is she was quite fun. Slower starter and a longer veg would have benefited as well as more stripping and a lolipop. She smells super citrusy, haze, with some gas. 4/16/2020 - Started flushing. She has a few amber and is looking to come down in a weeks time 👏 Ran the dehumidifier for continous drainage has kept humdity between 44 and 41 at a low of 39. Really good for last weeks of flower.

5/17/2020 - Day 57 today we are flushing. Few amber here and there. Will give better percentages tomorrow. She is really nice looking and red just like her name 👊😘 Ph watere from here on out! 5/20/2020 - Few amber. Decision made easy. Chopped and trimmed her bigger fans. She smells quite nice for a small plant. Wonder what she will weigh in on the scales. Will post harvest pics and shiz once I take my first 2 week smoke. Have to give a solid review and the smoke portion contributes to the review. Thanks for following this quick lil red. ✂️👊😊

Red Diesel grew honestly subpar to my expectations. She was stunted through weeks 1 to 3. No signs of defencies just very slow starter. After chopping her on day 59 for some early bud the high was meh. This could have easily been fixed by letting her go at least 2 to 3 more weeks longer. However I knew what I was doing and for a strain chopped early with all cloudy trichomes the high was mediocre at best. Discontinued? Maybe there is a reason. Not a quality genetic to keep around. Maybe someone else will have better luck. In the end I got almost an ounce under the poor veg she received. This strain however takes nutes like a champ and creates dense buds. Orange hairs are pretty obvious and this strain live up to its California origin. The high however needs to stay in the streets 🤣😅 Biggest mistake was not lolipopping and not letting her grow out completely. Other than that she was fun!
the end.
