The week starts Monday Jan-27, being day 27 of flowering. Plants are looking very good and healthy, albeit some bigger buds at this stage is missing. Carried out more minor defoliation, only trimming fan leaves on one side of a bud site in alternate fashion. Strategy is to expose more bud sites to light. Leaves are getting sticky and glistening brightly. The canopy has a few branches stretching out typical of Sativa genetics. Hoping the bud sites grow bigger soon filling up the space. Feeding a high EC nutrient mix whilst monitoring run-off EC which remains below feed EC. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering just under 3L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ---- updates for prior 4 weeks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-20 still flowering away. Bud sites are beginning to take form and the ScrOG setup looks full, ready for the development of some large buds. Removed a few more leaves from above the canopy which were blocking bud sites below. Also cut small stems (with bud sites) below the canopy from both plants which were unlikely to grow strong. It's now looking clearer below the canopy. The canopy is still thick with beautiful luscious green leaves typical of an Indica. Run-off EC has been slowly rising over the weeks but still under the feed EC - will be keeping my eyes on this. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Maintaining an average RH in the space at 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing thick and fast, with very short node intervals creating a thick canopy. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 2.5L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. The Indica dominant strain is really shining with incredible dense growth and thick branches that don't bend as easily as it's Sativa neighbour. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

Sorry for missing a few days of her grow guys! I'm so sorry about that, I like to always have6ny diaries updated. This lady hasn't really grow too much after I started training her but anyways. Her aroma is very sweet like a perfum, her sister smells the same too which is awesome news for me! She's being 100% organically grown with Biotabs organics! 💚🌱✌️

Dialled nutes down in week 7 & 8. Harvested with Milky Trichomes & 5% Amber. Some parts of bud smell pungent and diesely, where some other parts smelt sweet or grassy. First Grow went well, didn't have the right space but have noted many areas for improvement. environmentaly l had - high lights on temps & high lights off RH. Started with 2 seeds, took x6 clones x2 never really got any light due to space so will be re-planning the next grow with an aim to topping, scrogging and to keep all plants the same size x3 strains. #1 - x2 Green Crack Clones #2 - x3 Royal Runtz Seedlings #3 - x3 El Patron Seedlings. New journal coming soon ✌️🍀

Hello, now on week 6. Big upgrades. I changed the light from 65w coold (+6000k) to 105w warm(2700k) and i also close the distance to the bulb by adding another pot under. I bended 3 more side branches and another is going straght up catching up to the main cola height. I believe this is good news. A lot more of pre flowers are also showing up. As usual im open to suggestions and help. Thanks again 27/3 - Updated Top Crop Nutrients. And a couple of new pictures

This is towards the end of last week. The BB crosses are doing excellent. They have all gone through some extreme temps with intense temp and RH fluctuations. I’ve concluded that the plants 1 week behind experienced too much heat on this one day when some things came up and I wasn’t around to get them out of the hot sun in time, and they were stunted by excessive heat over 90F. The others didn’t show much signs of stress at all. I’m not giving up on the little ones, but I am giving them a large amount of grace and understanding. They can just continue to grow and do their best. Maybe they will come back into full speed in a week or so. Maybe not. At least I will grow them out to learn what happens. From now on I will be extra careful with all stimuli my seedlings are receiving. Showing sone other plants of same age, some of which are photoperiods that began flowering about a month and a half early, with 15 hours of daylight! Why? My first guess is some form of extreme rodelization. I did notice on both A-Trains that they each had a node with two pollen sacks developing as well as the burst of female bracts. So I nicked off the pollen sacks right away, and I’ve been putting them under a light for the nights to hopefully reveg them. Either way, a fun anecdote for some new knowledge and experience! I’m sure they would bud out Fat! Seeing how much they did in 2-3 days! But maybe there’s other elements at play.

The Apple Betty babies are doing great 😊 I’m very pleased with the results so far, I just wished I would have known they would have such a large stretch, they D almost doubled in size in 14 days. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so, much more than my other strain that I have going as well. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. A quick snip here and there will really help the end result. At day 13 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, she flourished just as the girls in my big tent did as well. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing and large tops. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. I will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Week 13 from seed. Around week 8 flower in our 12/12 galaxy. 🙂 And now… everything is changing. The room feels different this week. The colors are shifting everywhere. Leaves are fading naturally across the canopy, hairs are turning deeper orange and copper tones, trichomes are getting thicker and cloudier by the day, and the plants are entering that final stage where the grower does less, observes more, and lets time do its work. The “almost no nutrients” strategy is still rolling beautifully. At this point we are basically running enzymes and patience. No heavy feeding. No panic corrections. Just letting the plants finish the way they want to finish. Less became more in this run. From the beginning, the goal was simple: minimal stress, minimal interference, and let the plants grow naturally into the lights under 12/12 from seed. No endless training sessions. No constant manipulation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there, careful observation, and letting the room guide itself. And honestly… these Skywalkers rewarded that trust. Heavy fruits everywhere. Dense flowers from top to bottom. Plants leaning under their own weight and asking for support from the yo-yos. Colors stacking on the pistils. Resin thickening every single day. One thing I’m especially happy with is the lower canopy development. The under-canopy lighting keeps helping the plants mature evenly from top to bottom, and the difference is very noticeable now. What could have become airy popcorn buds simply never had the chance. The lower flowers are dense, developed, and fully part of the harvest. What used to be “sea buds” became real flowers… or disappeared completely during cleanup. We also continue using the far-red strategy: 15 minutes after lights-off, while slowly increasing reds during lights-on as well. The idea is to help simulate the end of the season and encourage those natural finishing responses from the plants. Maybe terpene expression, maybe flavonoid response, maybe simply stress-signaling and seasonal behavior… but whatever is happening, the room is speaking loudly right now. And the yellowing leaves? At this stage, that’s not something scary here. That’s the plant redistributing energy, consuming reserves, and moving toward the end of its cycle. After 13 weeks together, this is part of the story. Now is not the time to rush. There’s no point harvesting early after all this patience. We’ve already come this far together. At this stage, the grow is less about “doing” and more about understanding when to simply wait. Calmly. Observing. Checking. Smelling. Watching the trichomes. Letting the plants tell us when they are truly ready. Next week? Expect more fading. More swollen flowers. More support needed. More aroma. More late-flower personality. But don’t expect panic harvesting just because the finish line is visible. We wait for the moment that feels right. Huge thanks to everyone stopping by this diary: the OG followers, the silent lurkers, the new growers, the skeptics, the supporters, the lovers, the haters, the community, the platform, the breeders, the sponsors, and everybody spending even five minutes here with us.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hey growers, welcome back! This week marks week fourteen of the Pineapple Upside Down grow, and things are looking really good inside the tent. It’s been a smooth, steady week — no drama, no surprises, just solid, consistent growth. The plant has fully bounced back from the previous weeks and is showing great vitality. The new apexes have stretched out beautifully, filling the canopy in a balanced way. Every leaf looks healthy, rich in color, and there’s not a single sign of deficiency or stress. Environmental conditions have stayed right on target — temperature and humidity are stable, keeping the VPD in the sweet spot. The setup’s running quietly and efficiently, and it feels like the system has found its perfect rhythm. It’s been one of those weeks where you don’t really have to do much — just keep an eye on the parameters, enjoy how she’s developing, and let nature do the work. Watching her push out new growth every day is honestly the best part of the process. So yeah, a calm and satisfying week overall. The Pineapple Upside Down is thriving, and we’re right on track for the next stage. That’s it for this week’s update, growers. Thanks for following along — see you next week for a new chapter in the grow. Until then, peace and happy growing!

The strain is really strong to various stress, it's felt a difference between the two phenotipes, their are both delicious but one more berry flavoured and the other more exotic one. At the moment the best strain I've ever grow! 💐🍧

Man I'm in love with these seed stockers plants just delivering on there quality growth . I'm trying them pretty hard this week and stretching and bending those branches . Waiting on a tent this week so I can move her into a bigger home. The plants will be getting the flip to 12/12 in the next couple weeks and then it's game on my friends .cheers brothers and sisters ..
