Day 43 did some more defoliation an some lst

Buds are absolutely coated in trichomes, looks like they’ve been rolled in sand lol 🤩

How much do you think this will yeild?

ULTIMA SETTIMANA DICHIARATA DALLA BANCA, VEDIAMO QUANTE SI AGGIUNGERANNO FINO A FINE CULTIVO

Flowering week 3. Everything is ok. I made a light defoliation.

In questa settimana ho iniziato ad impostare gli steli nella rete, che sostituisce in parte le clip e consente l’espansione dello stelo andando a coprire il suo “quadrato” all interno della rete. Pulizia completa di tutto quello che si trova al di sotto della punta dello stelo in modo da favorire in nutrimento alla sola testa. Un altra settimana di attesa, il tempo che si allunghino gli altri steli ed arrivino più o meno tutti a livello e si procede con lo switch a 12/12 per partire con la fioritura (l’impostazione della lampada è ancora a 400w di potenza )

Average stem height of the big ones are 36 inches, but the mishap past week with the lights might have stressed em a bit and caused some stretching. There was also a humidity issue for a few hours, which could be the culprit for the stretching. Two stems are pushing 40 inches. However, there are no signs of light or heat stress, despite the stems getting within inches of the leds. We shall see... I’m also battling a cold Canadian winter where it hit -42 Celsius today. Plants are in a cold basement in an old house. Had to bring out an extra space heater. Can’t get the temp in my tent above 20. Tent is too packed to introduce a stand up heater. Maybe I’ll convince the plants that fall is coming and they need to bud like crazy.

:)))))

Going good, thinned out some. Put a better video on Instagram

Looking great , smelling fruity , sticky as and chunking up nicely. One more week of food then it’s flush time .

Lemon Cherry Gelato YumYum 🙂 | Week 13 Final stretch, full weight, and still not done While one Lemon Cherry Gelato is already hanging and drying from last week’s harvest, her sister is still standing — and still stacking. That alone says a lot about this run. Same seed pack. Same room. Same schedule. Same treatment. Yet one finished first, and the other decided she still had more to say. That’s part of the beauty of running from seed, and part of what keeps these 12/12 from seed runs so interesting from start to finish. Same start, same environment, different expression. One leaned into the early finish. The other kept building. And now here we are with the second Lemon Cherry Gelato still pushing hard into late flower, still swelling, still changing, and very clearly not in a hurry. This run has been 12/12 from seed from day one. No veg reset, no transplant games, no long shaping phase — just straight into expression, structure, and flower. Fast, honest, and always a great reminder that a plant does not need extra time to show you what it’s made of. And this one is showing plenty. ⸻ Week 13 | Still building, still swelling This week made one thing very clear: we are in the final stretch, but we are not finished yet. The plant is deep into late flower now and changing fast. Not just in size, but in presence. Buds are denser. Calyxes are swelling harder. The room smells thicker. The air feels heavier. Colors are starting to shift. Resin is louder every day. Everything is becoming more concentrated now. This is the stage where the plant stops pretending. No more stretch. No more unnecessary movement. No more wasted energy. Now it is all weight, density, oils, pressure, and finish. And she is leaning into all of it. ⸻ Heavy enough to break herself The most obvious change this week is weight. Not visual weight. Real weight. Branches are bending hard. Some are splitting. Some are collapsing under their own mass. Support is no longer optional here — it is mandatory. And honestly, that says everything. This is not airy late flower bulk. This is real density. The kind that starts testing branch strength. The kind that reminds you genetics matter. The kind that turns “nice structure” into “please hold yourself together one more week.” The stems on this plant are thick. The branching is strong. The trunk is solid. And even with that, she is still pushing enough mass to test her own frame. That tells the story better than I can. ⸻ Feeding less, finishing more At this point, feeding is simple. No more pushing. No more chasing numbers. No more trying to force anything extra out of her. She has already done the work. Now the goal is simple: let her finish clean. At this stage she is only getting water and enzymes (Pure Zym), keeping the root zone active, helping break down what is left, and allowing the plant to use what she already stored. That’s it. No heavy feeding. No late flower overcorrection. No panic bottles. Just clean support, stable inputs, and enough patience not to ruin the last stretch by doing too much. Late flower is often less about what you add, and more about what you stop interfering with. ⸻ Environment | Warm, stable, and still working Room temperatures are still a little warmer than ideal, sitting around 26°C during lights on and around 18°C at night. Would I prefer slightly cooler late flower temps? Sure. But the plants are telling their own story, and they are not showing stress worth chasing. That matters more. Leaves still look happy. Uptake is still steady. Flowers are still swelling. Resin is still building. Nothing is stalling. Nothing is fading early. Nothing is asking for emergency corrections. So while the room is a touch warmer than perfect on paper, the plants are still performing exactly how they should. And at this stage, healthy performance always matters more than textbook perfection. ⸻ Studio trip included (because of course) And yes — despite the size, despite the weight, despite how awkward moving late flower plants becomes… she still went to the studio. Not because it was practical. Because she earned it. And honestly, this one deserved proper light. She is not the tallest plant in the room, but she is dense, broad, heavy, and full enough to make carrying her feel like moving a small tree made of resin. Worth it. ⸻ What to expect next week At this point, the answer is simple: More weight. More density. More color. More resin. More pressure on branches. And hopefully clearer signs of the finish line. What not to expect is a dramatic change in direction. She is not about to stretch. She is not about to explode into new shape. She is not about to surprise anyone with speed. From here, it is all refinement. The next week should be about tightening, ripening, swelling, and watching the plant decide when she is actually done. Not when the calendar says so. When she says so. And that is the only timing that matters. ⸻ Final stretch This one feels special. Not because she is finished. Because she is close enough now to make every day count. The room is changing. The plant is changing. The air is changing. And the finish is starting to feel real. We are close now. Not done. But close enough to respect every extra day. And as always — thank you to everyone still here. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To GrowDiaries for the platform. To everyone following from day one. To the old heads. To the new ones. To the quiet ones watching in the background. To the growers. To the skeptics. To the supporters. To the critics. To the ones who stayed. To the ones who just stopped by for a minute. Love to all of you.

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.

Okay so I'm trying something new, since I've gone away from a switch to water for the last week flush I harvested the tops and best smalls and packed the cannatrol full. I'm giving the under growth a bit more time to rippen before I harvest that for the the freezer. If this turns out to be a bad idea I'll not do it again in the future. The last long video is what's left in the tent right now. Let me know if any of you have experience doing this. Updated with a bunch of pictured of dried and cured. Ended up with 186g of beautiful flower. 72g of untrimmed smalls I'll make into RSO, I have a lot of back and nerve pain and RSO hands down the only thing that brings me actual relive, I'm late to the party on this one but I set a side part of the grow for it now. I let the under canopy and shorter tops go another 10 days feed at half strength and I'm glad I did, it ripened up nicely and definitely got a lot of color. I forgot to get pictures of that harvest but I will when I pull it from the freezer to wash. My test jar of this washed at 4+% (the last picture). Last update will be results of that wash. Last update on this one, I added a couple hash/rosin pics at the end. She washed from plant to rosin at 4.03% the terps are musky skunk, sweet pastries, and fresh Linen. I'd definitely grow this one again.

Fully into flush this week just running 0.6 tsp per gallon(3g/gal) of the FullTilt from FloraFlex. Next week I'll be running plain water ph'd to 6.3-6.5 for the last week of flush. That being said, Plant #1 is developing quickly though she may need an extra week or two to finish out. If she does I will probably pull her out of the autopot system and put her directly in the middle to finish out while my next run is starting in the system. Been an exciting grow watching this cotton candy do her thing, cannot wait to see what the final week has in store! Have also narrowed down my deficiency that began last week down to possibly cal/mag deficiency. Will correct this is the feeding schedule next run.

Added KMPS once a day to the Reservoir to reach ~450 mV ORP. Added Yara Kristalon Blue and Calcinit 1:1, no ml values, used the fertilizer to reach stated EC values. PH correction with Phosphoric Acid. Some roots are showing but hard to see on pictures due to my bad endoscopic camera. PPFD 300, DLI 19 Values are average of the day.
