Week 8: Steady Bloom & Vacation Prep Update: 10.07.2025 | Day 58 Weather stabilized around 25°C with occasional rain - ideal conditions. Gave another mild dose of dissolved Biotabs + Bokashi juice (1:100). Rain refilled water tanks just in time: Vacation coming up! Midweek my grow buddy takes over (fingers crossed). Here are the main characters: Forbidden Runtz Pure bloom focus now - minimal height gain. Sugar leaves turning frosty daily. Aroma intensifies: Sweet candy meets earthy skunkiness (yes, we're making that a word!). Buds point skyward, thickening noticeably. Pistils showing beautiful color variations - not just white anymore. Green Crack Surprise performer! Bud structure defied expectations: Fewer sites but chunky indica-style nugs instead of wispy sativa candles. Already sticky to the touch with impressive frosting. That glorious mango scent is creeping in - imagine it at peak swell! Easily 3+ weeks left. Bruce Banner She's still stretching like your yoga teacher! Not full bloom yet – new shoots exploding everywhere. Bud sites multiplying like rabbits. Light frost/mild smell now… but genetics don’t lie. FastBuds Tangie flashbacks intensify. This will be explosive soon. Wrap-up: This grow's the anti-stress champ compared to last year's coco/nutrient math marathon. Just observing, responding, and trusting the plants. Low-budget (Bokashi juice and only 1 smashed biotab), high-satisfaction. Learned from 2024 but 2025? Pure joy. I hasn't always to be complicated! Catch y'all next week growmies Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Week 8 begins! Grandaddy Bruce is doing great, nice buds super frosty, sticky, heavy and dense. I continue to be impressed by this light and how this plant has grown under it.

Ok

RQS Diesel Automatic is growing along pretty strong, pushing out some nodes. Leaves still showing that mosaic look, but all the comments from the GD community have been to not worry about it, so I'm not worrying. But curious to see what happens as she flowers. Gave her some Recharge this week.

Week 13 – Day 91 / FLO 63 🌞 Temp: 24°C 💦 RH: 44% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.6 ⚡ EC: 0.2 💦 H2O: 800ml/24h Good nutrient control throughout the entire grow, I managed to completely eliminate nitrogen at the end, which makes me really happy, because the final taste will be much better. SHe have nice frosty buds with some fresh gasy flowering and citurs aroma. I do what i can to bring her to ripening but looks like we need a couple days more. SHe start drinking a little less soo we must be close. 👻👻👻

Transition week is underway. Hokuzan has entered flowering under 12/12 and is responding with strong stretch, vigorous branching and healthy early bud-site formation. Feedings have shifted from vegetative nutrition into the bloom regimen using Bio Flores, complemented by Hungry Bacter, Glutton Bloom and Ultra Booster, with Ultra Silk supporting the transition. Plants remain balanced, vigorous and fully prepared for the flowering push ahead.

Week 16 Journal Update: Northern Lights Autoflower Sisters * Setup and Environment: Both Charlotte and Michaela are resting comfortably in their 10-gallon fabric bags, elevated off the deck surface on sturdy PVC risers. * Charlotte's Growth Style & Harvest Timeline: Growing as a distinct, tall vertical Christmas tree tower without a SCROG net or topping, Charlotte has reached peak maturity. With her trichomes showing heavy cloudiness alongside a strong mix of amber heads and ripening, complex aromas filling the air, she is scheduled to be harvested by Friday. * Michaela's Growth Style & Harvest Timeline: Featuring a low-profile, naturally structured form without topping or a SCROG net, Michaela is trailing slightly behind her sister in finishing up. Her trichomes are predominantly milky-white with developing amber, and her distinct ripening scent is continuing to build. She is slated to be harvested roughly two weeks after Charlotte. Update 7.31.26: DIY drying chamber. 36 gun safe box, 3" exhaust fan, vent holes in the bottom, bamboo drying rack and a service door

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and what should be this girls final week of life. She’s almost dried up and starting to show a little more amber trichs. Still planning on chopping her sometime this weekend. Day 72 - Almost ready, just some updated pictures for the day, nothing much has changed. Day 73 - Just some more pictures for today, I’ll chop her down on Saturday and looking forward to it. This girl stinks to high heaven and want to get her drying. Day 74 - All set for the chop tomorrow, she’s used up all the water in the soil and she’s about 15% amber, just about the way I like them.

Girls are trucking along without much issue. I did have a bit of PH flux due to my PH meter calibration being off but no biggie, she didn't show too much signs of stress. These girls are starting to stink which I'm happy about, hoping for a really cheesy harvest :D

Nice healthy growth. Starting to push up the nutrients slowly. First time using multi bottle system why not learn under pressure in a competition haha.

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

What an absolute monster! 70 Days ago I sown the seeds into the ground and she has become a whole a** 🌲tree! 🌲 She was given Big 6 Micros from Buildasoil and Bio-catalyst from Root-wise today. A few days ago I innoculated the 65 gallon pot with about 100 red wigglers to kick start some life in there and get some nutrient cycling going for the next run. I might have to do a staggered harvest as it's too late for me to comfortably lollipop again! Thanks for reading and take care!

such an beautyful strain! the colors are really outstanding and the scent is incredible! loads of resin production on this one, not the highest yield but insane quality!

This is my first ever experience with growing cannabis. So i lack some experience. But i think overal i’m doing fine for my first week.

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! 💚🌱✌️

Dienstag war ein großer Tag für meine Pflanze – sie ist jetzt offiziell im Blüte-Modus! Das bedeutet eine Umstellung auf den 12 Stunden Licht- und 12 Stunden Dunkelheit-Rhythmus. Kurz davor habe ich sie noch entlaubt, um sie auf diese wichtige Phase vorzubereiten. Auch die Wasserzufuhr habe ich angepasst, sie entspricht jetzt den Empfehlungen für die zweite Blütewoche. Zum Glück ist das Problem mit dem pH-Wert endlich Vergangenheit. Das hat mir wirklich Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, aber jetzt scheint alles stabil zu sein. Das aktuelle Sorgenkind ist allerdings die Luftfeuchtigkeit. Sie ist momentan leider viel zu hoch, und ich muss mir überlegen, wie ich das am besten in den Griff bekomme. Das ist jetzt meine nächste große Herausforderung.

🍪🍨 Biscotti x Gelato - Ernte 🍨🍪 Heute ist es soweit: Die Biscotti x Gelato wurde nach ihrer langen Blütezeit geerntet. 🎉 Der Grow war definitiv eine interessante Erfahrung. Gerade durch das LST und SCROG hat sich die Entwicklung etwas länger gezogen als ursprünglich erwartet, dafür konnte die Pflanze zum Ende hin nochmal ordentlich zulegen. Die Buds haben sich bis zuletzt sehr schön entwickelt und waren zum Erntezeitpunkt richtig dicht mit Trichomen überzogen. Besonders auffällig war die enorme Klebrigkeit der Buds. Schon beim Ernten waren sie richtig harzig und haben einen intensiven, sehr angenehmen Geruch verbreitet. Genau dieser starke Duft zusammen mit dem frostigen Erscheinungsbild hat am Ende nochmal gezeigt, dass sich das Warten definitiv gelohnt hat. 🍪🍨 Jetzt geht es für die Ernte erstmal in die Trocknungsphase. Anschließend folgt natürlich noch das Curing, bevor ich die Biscotti x Gelato endgültig beurteilen kann. Auf das finale Ergebnis bin ich daher besonders gespannt. 😎 Alles in allem bin ich mit dem gesamten Grow sehr zufrieden. Die Biscotti x Gelato hat zum Schluss nochmal richtig abgeliefert und verabschiedet sich mit ordentlich Harz und einem fantastischen Aroma. 💚 Grow abgeschlossen jetzt heißt es warten auf das finale Ergebnis! Happy Growing Growmies 🌱?

I cut down the 2nd half of my Green Crack plant today. Did a wet trim this time. Will post the harvest report after she's dried and cured. So far the buds seem loose and airy overall. Probably stressed her out a little too much with the topping, HST and then the LED burn. I'm still pretty happy with the results so far 😃 Root sone looks more developed than the last harvest (Blue Mammoth). I guess Recharge is working 👍
