🌸 GrowDiaries Update — Week 11 (Week 7 Flower) Permanent Marker Pheno #1 & #2 — Flower Week 7 Here we are again, my dear growers — week 11 from seed, and what a journey it’s been! Our two beautiful phenos continue to show their individual personalities: Pheno #1, the tall dreamer, still reaching for the moon; and Pheno #2, the compact queen, steady and strong in her deep greens. Both are truly thriving, expressing themselves with grace and power. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now From the very first sprout to now, this grow has been a journey of observation, learning, and connection. We’ve seen perfect germination, vigorous vegetative growth, stunning branching, and a seamless transition into flower. We’ve tested light, temperature, airflow, and nutrition — keeping everything balanced with the organic Aptus program (Regulator, Top Booster, and CalMag), letting the soil and biology do their magic. ✨ This Week’s Focus — Trichomes, Terpenes & Color Explosion At week 7 of flower, nature begins to paint. Trichomes are swelling and clouding — a forest of frost starting to shimmer under the lights. Terpenes are coming alive, with rich, layered aromas filling the room: sweet, pungent, spicy, earthy. You can almost taste what’s to come. Flavonoids and anthocyanins are starting to express beautifully, especially on Pheno #1, which is showing the first touches of purple hues. Meanwhile, Pheno #2 remains loyal to her deep emerald tones — dense, resinous, and classic. ☀️ A Note on Light & Albino Tops Our big mama (Pheno #1) is stretching so close to the LED panel that her top is showing a touch of albinism — a bright, pale glow caused by intense light exposure. It’s not a problem; in fact, it adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. These light-stressed tops can sometimes develop special trichome patterns, and it’s fascinating to observe. A gentle reminder that even perfection has its quirks. 🌡️ Garden Conditions Temperature: High but stable with the AC in control. Humidity: Balanced despite the season’s challenges. Airflow: Excellent — a full dance of air and photons. Health: Exceptional. No bud rot, no major stress, just pure thriving energy. 🌍 Community & Gratitude The Dognabis Cup is in full bloom! Packages have arrived, diaries are opening, and the community is alive with creativity and inspiration. Let’s keep sharing, learning, and lifting each other up — because to grow is to share, and to bloom is to connect.

You’re all part of the story, and that’s what makes it real. 💚 🌼 What’s Next? Week 8 ahead — trichomes will turn cloudy, aromas will peak, and the girls will start signaling when they’re ready for their grand finale. We’ll talk harvest timing, resin maturity, and flushing techniques as we approach the end of this beautiful cycle. Until then — let the garden sing. 🌿 **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone**The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

Week 8 flowering give waters only

I just love this girl, she's my pride and joy right now. How she's transformed is nothing short of awesome. Always have faith in the girls

These XtraKush are also finally starting to grow. It took them a while but they doubled in a week. Still a little bit pale compared to the other two strains. With a new top layer of first worm castings and then neutral organic cocopeat to combat the gnat problem and we seem to have fixed most problems. Temps are going down at night, I'm trying to fix this by keeping it warmer in the attic where the grow is. In the coming week, I'm going to train/manifold them, they are getting a bit big.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. It was a good week for the Strawberry Banana Auto, she was pushing her 7th node on day 26 so I gently removed the top, and I also removed the lowermost 2 nodes so I will have nodes 3, 4, 5, and 6 to work with. She got a little sad immediately after topping, but when the lights came back on after 6 hours of dark she was perked right back up and I immediately started LST to try and develop an even canopy. She is still feeding 4 times per day on Silica, CalMag, and GH maxi gro veg nutes. This light is an absolute beast, I now have it cranked up to 50% in the V1 stage, and it continues to keep everything green and more importantly with tight internode spacing. I will continue to LST for a few more weeks and transition her to flower nutrients once her vertical grow stops on its own or if I need it to stop due to height constraints. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and Blaze On! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

And now there was two. At the begining of the week I chopped down and hung the first two plants. Cut the plants in two pieces at the stem and hung the halfs. This was after two days in darkness. Continued to flush the last two with straight tap water all week. Plucked some fan leaves getting ready for drying. Today is the official last day of flower as I put the last two in darkness. The drying room is 66 degrees and 55% humidity. Sounds perfect to me for a longer slow drying process. This will be my last update until the harvest report. I did a clean and bleach in the flower room and will now move in the Black Dog plants and flip to flower. Perpetual growing is happy days! Thanks for looking. Cheers.

Flower start to kick in, Last week feeding 550ppm ~ runoff 300 Now feeding 850

Yall see the yellowing of the leaves closest to the top? I've since switched my nutes over to Tiger Bloom and I've thrown in some Cal-mag into the mix. They'd gotten kinda droopy but since I changed their nutes up a bit, they've been perky af even tonight as it's getting close to lights out. I switched them over to flower on Sunday. They're already starting to stretch in just a few days which tells me that they're feeling much better. My last video... even though it's not loaded correctly is from tonight. It's 11pm, lights are out in an hour and they're still perky. Love it!! 😍😍😍 4/6/23: Yall.... the plant in the back right hermied!!! OMFG. The 2 tallest branches had seeds on them... just popped up because they weren't there yesterday or at least I didn't notice. The seeds were concentrated at the top, I didn't find any on the rest of the plant but with as bushy as they are, there may be more. I cut those 2 tallest branches down to below where the seeds were but I will be watching that plant and the rest like a hawk for more seeds. I didn't find any on the other 3 plants but still I'm saddened. Unsure of why this one plant is hermie'ing. Smh

Hey guys today the 30th day. Plant is over the hill after my dog has treated himself with relish. 🍓😅... I showered her directly after the assassination with a load of valerian + amino acidos and a few pick-me-ups (oligosaccharides).. it looked much worse at the beginning of the week. lost by the leaf, she got eagle claws directly. It has become insanely bright. think due to the heavy rain the ph has changed. I'll check that tomorrow, if so, there is a correction, if no it gets a load of calcium, either eggshell, dissolved in apple vinegar and EM and some mussel shell powder... Give her a week of recovery time. Lighting remains for the time being, it rains at least half the day, every day and there is a massive lack of light... also to compensate for the missing leaves a bit... wish her a lot of life force, I don't give her up,😇 maybe there's still a doi and two or three seeds😆💚💚💚💩 I also planted three strawberries to match the plant. they will catch the excess nutrients and root the rest of the pot. think after the incident, it won't get too big now... and so I definitely have something to snack on in the end, no matter what else happens🍓😆😎

Update 11/04/2022 (Day 57) Hello All! the start of yet another week!! it's been 2 weeks ago since I Flipped to flower but I have a feeling they are really slow in this process. it's only today I really start to see some pistols forming! Since these are my very first Photoperiods i am yet again on unknown territories. Might be that at this stage my TSW2000 just isn't juicy enough. lucky enough I've got a new FC-4800 coming in from Mars hydro. this will have a much better coverage and and some more wattage I might have to do another Lollipopping session once I really see pistols all over the place. The stretch on these girls is crazy at almost an 78CM as of today. I only have +- 80 CM left in my tent and that also means I gotta figure out a way to get my lights up tight against the ceiling and rearrange my extraction fan. 1 plant is kinda on the slow side I accidently topped that one in the early stages and it feels like it never really recovered from that. Having a look at my clones well 4 out of 8 survived and are now starting to develop some nice roots. Thats it for today. hope too see some nice buds forming this week. Update 14/04/2022 (Day 60) Yesterday the new light arrived so I got busy. in order for the new light to be hang as high as possible I had to move the extraction fan outside the tent it now sits on top of the tent. the driver from the light is also placed on top of the tent. I must say this new FC4800 is a very welcoming upgrade it really has a much better coverage in my 4x4 and more wattage :D after the switch I got busy with some scissors to apply a final lollipop session. also transplanted the clones in some bigger pots gotta keep them under the Secret Jardin Tneon 2x55watt lights 6500K till beginning of may than they will be moved to some friends garden.

Last day of week 5 I been high asf I almost forgot about this lately lol but you see the results

Not a lot happened last week, just monitoring, feeding, and keeping everything in check while the girls did their thing. I did switch over to my finishing nutrients and have cut out calmag according to feeding chart I have been following. I think we are gettting pretty close to harvest though! The trichomes are starting to get a little milky. I am going to wait until about 30% amber to harvest though. I am getting super excited to finish this one and start my next run! 9/2 - The girls have been doing great and are starting to pack on the size and frost nicely! Nothing to do to them really except monitor and keep checking and making sure everything is running at an optimal level. The closer it gets I start to get a little nervous for the dry. I am prepared and have a plan, just hopefully I can get my dry set up as dialed in as I was able to get my grow tent. I will try to post more updates this week. Last week I had company from out of town, so it was difficult to get around to it. 9/5- Just continuing to monitor and check the trichomes, once about 25-30% turn amber I will be harvesting! They are starting to get pretty cloudy right now. When I did the res change yesterday, I switched to just root drip and full tilt and have started flushing, hopefully not too early, but im following my feeding chart. As always tips and recommendations always welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for checking out my diary!

Hello growers. This week rocket banana did good. She still grew a couple of cm. She also has very long floweringhairs, and it looks cool. I already grew a banana kind before and it looks a bit similar. The smell is getting stronger. Also on a bad side, i had a herma in my tent so i hope no other plants aren’t pollinated. I removed the hermas. See you next week!

Excited to see the pistols keep coming and coming I have such tight spacing that the buds will probably start connecting by the end of the week on the Royal Gorilla Day 19- Tomorrow I will tie some branches down to open up the plants more. The LSD plants needs it the most!

Pictures do no justice for these 7.5’x 7.5’ wide 6+ft tall monsters

Mandarin XL auto is growing great. She is progressing more into a flower stage. Everything is looking really promising at the moment. Nothing new to report this week. Thank you Ganja Farmer, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

day 42 images are in last week, I can not count XD. bridal is stacking a lot of weight and is constantly shifting/leaning every morning, good things. I would chop any day but I will wait it out. water, tiny bit of humic and folvic to reduce chloromine, chlorine- air stones day 45 took a few nugs off on day 42, dried for 3 days. Tried bridal and blackberry. As a heavy recreational, thc is up there! bridal felt like having a blindfold over your eyes somewhat sativa uplift but heavy weight feelings. Very good. Lasted as good as 30%'s. Dr. Thunder was also very nice, nug was smaller so mixed with blackberry to have a small j. Also feels very good indica. Both trials were chopped on week 6 day 1. Very pleased with the results. I was worried bridal was more sativa; which charasteristica I am not looking for. So I believe this is a very good heavy hitter run with 4 plants. I can chop any day, but I am waiting for pink paradise to finish seeds. day45 took top nugs from bridal party, blackberry oreo bigstuff and dr. thunder. No touching pink paradise!! day 46 can chop anytime just waiting on pink paradise seeds to finish, bridal party leaning more day 47 bridal leaning hard from weight. day 48 stacking, day 48 video

Bueno empiezo la 3 semanas día 15, con un unos LEDs rojos que me regalaron marshydro al comprar el fc800 evo , creo que se llama así 😝 es una auténtica bestia, ya no me imagino que pueden hacer los leds rojos, en teoría la luz roja aparte de hacer madurar los frutos, engordar y dar sabor, también ayuda a hacer crecer a los nuevos tallos que están más abajo y reciben menos luz, la luz roja profunda les da energía a esos brotes para que crezcan y busquen la luz blanca... Total.. quiero ver si crecen las ramas que están escondidas... También he añadido CO2 , cada segundo dos burbujas.. no quiero pasarme, porque tanto echar magnesio, me a dado un poco de exceso, lo he corregido echando más agua al depósito, y con la ayuda de CO2 hará que coman más las plantas, y corregiré antes el exceso de magnesio, en teoría jejeejje😅😅 todo en teoría
