Seed was put in a glass of water on the 2nd of January 20:00 (8PM). Around 15h later it sunk to the bottom and I transferred it to a wet paper towel inside a zip. Around 51h later (so ~36h inside zip) the seed had not yet opened. I am a little worried, but at the same time not because I've looked up what the pro's say and some of them don't even look at the seed until after the seed has spent at least 48h inside the paper towel. I will be patient and wait for the seed to open. After the seed has opened I will be even more patient and let the root grow for a bit. I have grown 2 of these plants in my lifetime and first time was really good, second time was very bad, and the second time I planted it when the root was ~1mm long. I will not rush things this time. I will also be careful to not let the root grow too long. If I'll have it my way, then I'll be planting this baby tomorrow evening, so in a bit less than 24h from now. If I have to reschedule then it will probably be planted on the 6th of January. Worst case scenario: We have to restart with a new seed. Bless you. Update 5 Jan 2022 17:29 (05:29 PM): We have a root! The seed has opened ever so slightly and the root has grown more and more during today. I want the root to grow a tiny bit longer before I plant it. I will take another look before bedtime. Update 5 Jan 2022 20:43 (08:43 PM): Root has not grown much since the last picture, will plant tomorrow. Update 6 Jan 2022 10:05 (10:05 AM): Will plant later. Root is too short. Update 6 Jan 2022 15:00 (03:00 PM): Root is still shorter than I had in mind but my patience has ran out and I think it is still a fine length for the seed to do really good. I also have very good soil for her with claimed great amount of nutrients for seedlings. When it gets large enough I will transplant her to a 11L pot. The 11L pot has been filled with more than 11L soil. Probably around 15L. By the way, the plant has a name, her name is "Satan" but is referred to as a "she". Update 12 Jan 2022 18:00 (06:00 PM): We have a sprout! I saw the sprout some hours ago. I am sure that I planted the seed quite perfectly in the middle. However, the sprout happened very much to the side. I suspect that there was something in the soil that might blocked the sprout. So far it looks like we planted Satan on the 6th of January and we got a sprout on the 12th. I will consider Satan to be in germination stage until it grows a little more. Then I will treat it like she's in the vegetative phase. ----------------------------- SUMMARY: Day 1-21 in Satans life has been so wonderful. Not a minute goes by without me feeling euphoric about her. Every day when I wake up I go to the grow-room and tell her good morning. I hold her largest leaf between my thumb and index-fingers to hold leaf (hold hand) and we just hold leaf together for a few seconds while I admire her beauty. She is so absolutely gorgeous and kind and she is also very happy with her environment. I already have another plant in another grow-room which also is a Northern Lights and I have kept a diary of her as well, just not on growdiaries.com (everything is kept in a Word-document). This other plant is called Kim, named after Kim Jong-Un. Kim and her diary is going to be utilized as a "roadmap" for Satan, so I should know what to expect and when to expect it. I also did a few mistakes with Kim, such as water too much or let her grow with way too much nitrogen in the air. Satan will instead be the best grow I have ever done - hopefully. I thank you all for reading and joining me on this adventure. Kim and Satan says hello!

Day 44 (Jan 10 - Flower Day 10) More of a maintenance day. The focus was keeping the canopy flat and even while the plant continues to push. This is where the tent starts feeling smaller every day. Day 45 (Jan 11 - Flower Day 11) At 02:30 I measured EC 1.466 (1466 µS/cm). At noon, after a top-off (this time with fertilizer included), I landed at EC 1.480 and pH 6.19. Day 46 (Jan 12 - Flower Day 12) At 12:15 I measured EC 1.512. After topping off I ended up at pH 5.75 and EC 1.462. Later I decided to push the reservoir strength up, briefly saw a higher number, then did the right thing: I waited for proper mixing. After 15 minutes of circulation, the stable reading was EC 1.612 with pH 5.88. Canopy-wise she’s starting to look like a literal square under the trellis - which is both hilarious and satisfying. Day 47 (Jan 13 - Flower Day 13) At 00:30 I measured EC 1.618 and pH 6.30. I topped off ~1.5 L of pH’d water and rechecked after circulation: EC ~1.620 and pH ~6.06. After that I adjusted pH down to 5.69. Day 48 (Jan 14 - Flower Day 14) At 00:30 (before top-off): EC 1.622 and pH 6.16. Water level drop was about 2 L out of roughly 9 L, so definitely a big drink. I decided to top off with nutrients this time. After the top-off and ~15 minutes of circulation, the reservoir landed at pH 5.74 and EC 1.720. Canopy / space notes (Week summary) The canopy is getting extremely even and wide — genuinely “square” under the trellis. I’ve been leaf tucking and I also weaved two tops sideways under the net to keep the canopy flat. Height management is now a real factor: the plant is around 43 cm tall even while being woven into the trellis. The good news is I can now rig the light up to about 90 cm above the bucket, which gives much more breathing room than I originally thought. Week takeaway The plant is clearly in a strong stretch phase (big daily growth, big water consumption). The reservoir has been stable when I’m careful with mixing time, and the trellis work is paying off — the canopy is filling the tent efficiently and staying controllable.

📆 Week 3, 20-26 May 2024 20 May - Increased light power to 60%. 21 May - Cut first 2 true branches off. 22-26 May - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 I’ll always cut the the first true branches off any plant I grow. In my experience they just don’t keep up with the plants growth rate in general and only take away from it's overall potential. This plant seems to be very healthy and growing as expected, strong and fast. 🍶 20 May nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 20 May feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 1.7 at 72 degrees F 🔆 Light power at 60%, DLI 25 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Seems to be going good, idk if I should ad more bloom booster or just use molasses. Also the broken cola I replanted, seems to still be alive but don’t really know what else to do. Just hope I can get these out of some random guys back yard soon.

Sorry for the slow upload this week, it has been a heavy rainny week and humidity was off the charts. Had to get a big dehumid to balance it all out. Send round of defoliation, didn't take too much off but this will help with the humidity balance. Did a little Srog netting just for the top buds not to hit the lights too much and burn.

Welcome to my 2nd diary within diary. The first diary is already harvested. The second one has been in veg for about 20 weeks, while it was in veg, i trained it with lst and hst, now we are a in flowering for a couple of weeks. Third diary will come within this diary too, i took a monstercrop clone, it's revegging now, curious of the outcome, since this strain already has tight internodes on the branches. Well, this looks good, looks like shes loving the lights, gave some green sensation booster this week. Let the buds fill up a bit...

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Three Veg Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’re now into Week Three of the vegetative stage, and our plants are loving their new environment. The Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon are thriving after the transplant, and we’re excited to share the latest developments. 🌟 Week Three Highlights 🌟 This week, we plugged in the Autopots and turned them on, letting gravity do its magic. From now on, we’ll rely on the Regulator and CaMg-Boost in the reservoir. Our soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, so we’re testing if just the organic inputs in the soil, plus CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the entire run. Let’s dive into the details: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Vigorous vertical and lateral growth, with lush, broad leaves. • Health: The transplant has boosted its vigor, and the plant looks healthier than ever. • Notes: Moon Rock is showing exceptional adaptability and strength. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Steady and balanced growth with symmetrical leaf development. • Health: Opium is thriving, with no signs of stress or deficiencies. • Notes: This plant continues to flourish with grace and beauty. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Robust and vigorous, with thick stems and expansive leaf growth. • Health: The transplant has enhanced its already impressive growth. • Notes: Big Demon remains a powerhouse in our garden. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our feeding regimen this week focuses on: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): Helps reduce stress and improves overall plant health by regulating plant processes and enhancing nutrient uptake. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): Provides essential calcium and magnesium, preventing deficiencies and supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. Our rich organic soil is packed with biolife and nutrients, so this experiment will test if these organic inputs, combined with CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the plants through their entire growth cycle. 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 To support our plants’ growth, we’re using the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED. Here’s why it’s amazing: • Efficiency: Provides high light output with low energy consumption, ensuring optimal growth while being energy-efficient. • Full Spectrum: Delivers a balanced spectrum of light, mimicking natural sunlight to support all stages of plant growth. • Coverage: The compact design ensures even light distribution across the entire canopy, promoting uniform growth. We’re also using the TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its impressive 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection. This controller allows us to: • Monitor and Control: Keep precise control over the grow environment, ensuring optimal conditions for our plants. • Automation: Automate various aspects of the grow room, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. • Data Insights: Gain valuable insights into environmental conditions, helping us make informed decisions. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Response: The plants have responded exceptionally well to the transplant and nutrient strategy. • Growth Rate: Significant increase in growth rate, thanks to the balanced environment and nutrient-rich soil. • Health and Vigor: The plants are healthy, with vibrant foliage and strong structures. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move into Week Four, our focus will be on: • Monitoring the Autopots: Ensuring the system runs smoothly and the plants receive consistent moisture. • Observing Plant Responses: Keeping a close eye on how the plants respond to the nutrient strategy. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Using the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to maintain perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish. We’re excited to see the results of this nutrient strategy and share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekThreeVegReport #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @divine.seeds Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Do not pay attention to the temperature on the thermometer in the middle, it lies by a couple of degrees. I have a good thermometer on top of the box that shows the temperature. Day 29: After a terrible fracture, we see that the plant is beginning to recover. I'm honestly disappointed because it makes it very difficult for me to train mainlining and it will also increase the amount of time it takes to grow. Day 30: It looks much better already, I could superprune the right branch, but I don't want to stress it. I will try to bend the right branch harder, I will bend the left one a little in the morning the next day, maybe early. Day 31: This morning I cut the lower leaves, photo in the evening and continued the LST training after the injury. Photo in the evening. Day 32: I am completely sure that the plant has moved away from the stress, but we can see on the left circle, the right bud (and side) slowed growth. Day 34: I saw traces of salt on the tips of the new leaves, so now I pour water with regular 15 PPM.

Day 72, 21st of November 2020: Gorgeous, tall and strechy. Nice nice and nice. Straching has stopped finally and more work on buds. Amazing creation. All good as it can be seen keep getting older haha. Buds are on the way getting fat ;) Fertilization is the same every 2nd day with the mix and the ratio above.... All LST has been removed as the plant remains the same so no need to keep her in "chains". The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

The flowering now really has kicked in and the first trichomes are appearing all around the flower crowns. The plants start to exude an intoxicating sweet smell...I LOVE IT! All plants grow VERY HEALTHY thanks to the BIO-TABs nutrients. They love the intensity and spectrum of the SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps, which is specifically designed for cannabis plants. They are the BEST LED GROW-LIGHTS I have EVER USED!

Gelato #2 has gotten so big that I'm afraid of burning the tips. Gelato #1 is already developin' beautiful round dense buds covered with trichomes.
