Quite the nice Bush

This strain gave us no problems, very simple to grow! The plants both stayed small and bushy until flower, then they took off. We will be back to adjust the weight and add more comments. 8/14/21 - The buds are done curing and it’s 🔥 Smooth and flavorful 💨 We finally smoked it and couldn’t finish a joint lol. It’s a lot stronger than we anticipated. I love indica strains and this is now one of my favorites. Next up we have 2 Lemon Kush and 2 Gelato growing outdoors as a side project in between indoor LED grows. Blueberry from seedsman was so simple to grow. We messed up on a few things but we got plenty of nice buds and made 2lbs of butter for edibles. -FIN-

📁 Folder #10 — Sour Diesel Week 2 Veg | 18/6 Light Cycle This Sour Diesel is moving exactly as she should — slowly, steadily, and with confidence. No rush, no stress, just healthy foundational growth. She is currently in early vegetative development, working through her 3rd to 4th pair of true leaves, with compact internodal spacing and well-formed foliage. Structure is clean, leaves are vibrant, and overall posture tells me she’s comfortable in her environment. This plant is not meant to be pushed — she’s meant to be understood. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Status • Stage: Week 2 Vegetative Growth • Light Cycle: 18/6 • Height: ~10 cm • Leaf Development: 3rd → 4th pair forming • Growth Pace: Slow and steady (as expected) She’s building roots and structure first — exactly what we want at this stage. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Environment • PPFD: ~400 µmol/m²/s • Distance to Light: ~1.75–1.80 m • Why this PPFD: At this stage, the goal is root development and node stacking, not vertical stretch. Lower PPFD encourages calm, efficient photosynthesis without stress or unnecessary elongation. 🌡️ Temperature & Humidity • Day: ~28°C • Night: ~18°C • Relative Humidity: ~75% This VPD range keeps transpiration active while allowing roots to work efficiently. ⸻ 💧 Irrigation & Substrate • Water Uptake: ~0.3 L per 24h • Solution pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 • Solution Temp: ~21°C • Substrate Temp: ~22°C Watering is steady and predictable — a very good sign at this stage. ⸻ Nutrition Program (and WHY) All inputs are chosen for root health, microbial activity, and long-term vigor, not speed. Root & Growth Support • Plagron Terra Grow — 2.5 ml/L Primary vegetative base nutrient, providing balanced NPK for controlled leaf and stem development. • Power Roots — 1 ml/L Stimulates root mass, lateral branching, and early nutrient uptake efficiency. • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Breaks down dead organic material, improves substrate oxygenation, and keeps the root zone clean and active. • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Early metabolic support, helping enzyme activity and setting the stage for later terpene expression. 🌿 Foliar Application • Vita Race — 2.5 ml/L (foliar spray) Applied generously — real showers, not misting. This boosts chlorophyll production, trace element uptake, and overall leaf vitality during early veg. ⸻ 🧠 Expectations (and what NOT to expect) What to expect: • Compact structure • Strong leaf posture • Slow but healthy node development • Root-driven growth What NOT to expect (and that’s okay): • Explosive vertical growth • Stretch • Large water consumption • High PPFD tolerance (yet) This phase is about foundation, not performance. ⸻ 🌬️ Final Thoughts — The Legend Herself Sour Diesel is not a strain you rush. She rewards patience, consistency, and restraint. Everything about this week confirms that she is: • Comfortable • Stable • Responding correctly No adjustments needed. No pressure applied. We let her do what legends do — build quietly before they speak loudly. On to Week 3.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Noticed some wind burn 🍃 🔥 on the plant/leaves closest to the fan. Moved it and accidentally hurt the plant again. SCROG-adjustments-woes! UGGGH! Lesson learned... Once scrogged... Tough to readjust! Be extra careful. The red hairs 🌹 are showing up with some already leaning and wilting down. Really excited for them to fruit! 🍓 I am definitely growing at least two phenotypes of TD. One that is meant to be very tall and w very thinned out long leaves -- heavily sativa. And one that is the "more common" pheno. I now understand what this whole pheno-hunting term means. NOOB GROWER THOUGHTS, WEEK 8 -- This grow isn't even done and I am already thinking of my next. I've definitely bought too many seeds. And my grow space is waaay too limited. I will expand once I move to a new place.. and already have a plan for an eternal harvest. More tents 🎪, more seeds 🌱, more everything ... It's official, folks... I'm addicted to growing! And I love it!!! 😎

Plant is responding really well to the change in conditions! I've noticed a rapid turn around in her vigor and overall growth day by day. Really glad I decided to ride this out. Next update should be a great one! Happy growing!

Second week of flushing. Took accurate measurements today. Tallest blueberry headband over 50 inches tall! The rest are coming in around 3 feet. Took microscopic photos of the tricomes today. Some appear to be milky, while others seem to be transitioning to amber while some are still clear and transitioning to milky. Thoughts?

She's praying under that 350R Stretch has been easily managed, growing about 17.5 inches the first 2 weeks with nice tight node spacing Vibranium absorbing all energies, and giving back with superhuman properties

So langsam werden die Trichome immer reifer. Alles riecht wunderbar im Garten. Bei einer pflanze mußte ich einen Bud entfernen, da sich dazwischen ein bisschen Schimmel gebildet hatte.

tent is starting to get nice a smelly and is giving off a fruity kushy smell.

Week 7

The smell is absolutely amazing. So fruity!!

10/13 Day 15 and one week in the large pots. Still no need of watering not concerned as the pots are reasonably fertile, right now they are busy building roots which is just fine. Veg growth will increase just any time now. 10/15 First Watering/feed since transplant a week ago Fish Sh!T 5ml / Cal-Mag 5ml per gal @ 6.1 ph Each got 0.5 gal though I fear some over watering is unavoidable this time think only Maggie is showing the symptoms. 10/16 Explosive growth, more than an inch on Layla and the others are getting it together. May be getting a handle on this. 10/19 The uptick in Brandy and Maggie was not to continue and they worsened making an attempt to fix the issue with a 6.1 PH root drench of Cal-Mag 5ml and Kangaroots 10ml / gal about 2 gal for each plenty of runoff that tested at 6.1 PH. Layla looking great watering tomorrow 10/20 Update Made a spray of 6.5ph water with one tbs / gal Epson Salts and really soaked the leaves of both plants in attempt to help these poor guys, know a new week is due will get to it later 10/21 update When pots dry a bit using a solution of one cup hydrogen peroxide to one gal of 6.5 ph water (lowering ph has done nothing so going back to middle of the road) using as foliar spray as well, not sure if waiting on pots to dry first is called for here so yall chip in if you wish

Hey Guys! Here we go again.. I have been busy this week so i am letting the pictures and video speak for itself😎. I took PH and PPM and checked the RH so you can check where i am right now (i just did it to check the bigger rig so everything works)👌. I also upped the nuts a bit just to get them to 1000 ppm 😊. What we want is perfect condition and we are getting there slowly but surely...🙏🙌😏 Edit: Lets talk about this GSC, She is catching up even though she took some calcium and magnesium deficiency early but she will still be a thick one. Some nutrient problems but nothing serious so i am not worried about it. I will feed some calmag for the GSC and Diesel this week. She is picky in my opinion. But get it right and she will reward with a quality yield i guess. I have learned a lot this grow so for the next harvest she will have slightly better settings. I am thinking that i might invest in better soil and down the nuts and run calmag from start for all my "kushy" strains. Don't forget to leave a like! Until next time Cheers! 👊

I had to cut away 10 molded buds this week. My ventilation was off during the night (for a week) so a few buds had to go. nothing too bad. I think she needs another 10 days to finish from here. The resin ob the buds is insane. As i cut the molded buds my fingers look like i put them in glue, very sticky resin and super strong smell. Also had to use rope to hang the heavy stems up, rockhard buds

Overall i would do some thing better that is all!

3/22: I’m really just loving her structure she’s perfect. Can’t wait till I get my Optic 4 XL’s this upcoming week and see what that does to her, I’m starting to see the 1st hairs since flipping....it sucks ordering something and then have to wait a month and a 1/2 For something because it’s extremely back ordered. 3/25: As I keep saying I’m really digging her structure I’m not gonna be really doing much with her until harvest she’s a beast she’s the biggest medicine plant I’ve grown thus far. I finally got the notification of my Optic 4XLs being shipped so now I can get the real growing on and get rid of this cheap Chinese blurple.

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along.

Привет друзья! И так сегодня 13 день моей малышке. Выглядит здоровой и счастливой За 13 дней ни каких сбоев в росте и развитии, генетика хорошая Всем добра и мира! #Smail_Seeds
