***April 11 First things first, she is looking sexy as hell. Trichomes are spreading down the leaves, they are fattening up super nicely, it's been handling the nutrients really well, and has been drinking a decent amount. I get a nice vanilla bean, sweet, pine smell coming off of her, and it's been getting stronger every day. I haven't been needing to take too much off of her, just a few fan leaves here and there, but she has been taking care of herself pretty good in the long run. I have been taking off some of the teenie-tiny buds as I see them, because I want the main focus on the top nugs and the middle branch. Roots are growing like nuts, but I'm going to leave them go for now, until they get more out of hand (probably the end of this week). I gave 1tsp extra of the Bloom, since it seems to be handling things well, and not showing any signs of burn. 😍 Very happy with things so far!! ***April 13 Wasn't around to open my tent when the lights turned on, so it spent 6 hours in max humidity, but it seemed to like the stress, because it's literally coated to the tips of the top fan leaves with trichomes. ***April 15 WELLP.... I had to raise the light again 😂 She is growing vigorously, and is showing no signs of wanting to slow down. Still stretching just a tad, but mostly just packing on the weight and getting dense. Even the nugs down at the bottom are big enough so show they are worth keeping. I am so impressed with this grow, and I can't get over how happy I am to see it loving everything I can think to throw at it! Hard to believe just how big this filled out compared to before flower. Definitely 5x the size she started from, that's just my estimate. She started 1/4 the tent, and had enough room for all those veggies along with her, and now looking at her, I am thinking "wow... it's a good thing I got everything out of there when I did." 😂😅😍

So this week isnt over yet, i just wanted to say that im pretty certain she is starting to show her sex! I dont have any pictures yet as they are really really really tiny but i think this will be my last week that i give her veg nutes and next feeding will be with tiger bloom and probably still likely big bloom too. I cant wait to show you guys the progress is been so exciting! The branch i accidentally almost took off because i pressed down too hard is doing well it isnt fully healed yet but we have time so im not too worried and none of the leaves are wilting or looking like they are dying so i think and hope it will hold out and be healthy and strong by flowering time so it can hold its weight! P.S. it wouldnt let me post without a picture so heres the first frame for this weeks time lapse before its done for the week! Alright guys week 4 has officially ended and im putting the edited time lapse up for you all to see, week 4 was phenomenal and the growth alone has been starting to get crazy big i cant believe it! So i was 100% correct about earlier in the week and she is currently showing signs of pistils starting to form on some branches so this will mark my last week giving her veg nutes and next feeding cycle will be with some flowering nutes. I decided to defoliate her today to try and get rid of any ugly leaves as well as fan leaves that werent needed. it really spaced out the plant some more for good lighting to penetrate it all hopefully. The branch that i accidentally injured is doing good still healing up i think but i do believe that in time it will be 100% of what i can be given the circumstances. im just happy and it hasnt seemed to stunt the growth of that branch at all either its getting really big. Thanks for all the love and support guys i cant wait to get her to harvest and to be able to say im smoking my own weed after dry and cure! I gave her some Cal-Mag too to help with possible deficiencies later on in the flower cycle but not a ton because i dont want to over do it!

End of week 10 in bloom (day 70) and the time for harvest is approaching. Not all the plants are the same so they will finish gradually and they will be cut gradually. So i will start from Bangi Haze that is almost ready, needs few days more.

Vegetative #22 22/September/25. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foliar Application: Preventive treatment for pests with Neem Oil and Potassium Soap Nutrition: Parameter of the week 1.650 μS/cm EC I start with softwater around to 0.060 EC CALiMAGic = 11ml to 660 μS/cm EC Canna Coco A&B up 30ml to 1.650 μS/cm EC Total Solution 10 L Watering: I watered my plants with a solution with the following inputs and outputs pH = 5.8 EC = 1.650 μS/cm Input Total Solution 13 L Solution = 3.25 L each Run-Off = 1.780 μS/cm pH Run-Off = 6.5 Volume Run-Off = 3000ml between 22% Observations: Today I practiced High-Stress Training with a Super Cropping to the 4 plants only to not stress to much the plants because this week I will perform big defoliation and lollipopping and finally secure all super cropping made before heal completely Now it fixed the nutritional deficit and I finally archive a good EC Run-Off Vegetative #25 25/September/25. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrition: Parameter of the week 1.650 μS/cm EC I start with softwater around to 0.060 EC CALiMAGic = 11ml to 660 μS/cm EC Canna Coco A&B up 30 ml to 1.650 μS/cm EC Total Solution 10 L Watering: I watered my plants with a solution with the following inputs and outputs pH = 5.8 EC = 1.650 μS/cm Input Total Solution 13 L Solution = 3.25 L each Run-Off = 1.980 μS/cm pH Run-Off = 6.5 Volume Run-Off = 3000ml between 22% Observations: I made some maintenance making aggressive defoliation and some lollipopping for preparing all for flowering state. I'm using the new moisture sensors that arrive and for test I extended the dry back to see how it works and how I should using with the Irrigation System. For that reason the Run-Off it getting higher but not to much concern... One of my surprise was the response of the plants is start to made more flowering spots like how Crop Steering say... For me it the first time I try to apply this technique of course is not in professional way but to me is a good approach to now how to use it. Vegetative #28 28/September/25. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrition: Parameter of the week 1.650 μS/cm EC I start with softwater around to 0.060 EC CALiMAGic = 11ml to 660 μS/cm EC Canna Coco A&B up 30 ml to 1.650 μS/cm EC Everest in Soil = 11ml Total Solution 10 L Watering: I watered my plants with a solution with the following inputs and outputs pH = 5.8 EC = 1.780 μS/cm Input Total Solution 13 L Solution = 3.25 L each Run-Off = 2.2 μS/cm pH Run-Off = 6.5 Volume Run-Off = 3000ml between 22% Observations: I need to do again a good defoliation, the plants are now huge... Now its time to change the photoperiod because could be a problem if a delay more and will be the first two days of October... I had a pretty high EC in the Run-Off not huge deal the plants can handle very good I will down the nutrition in the next watering for avoid some time of lockout or toxicity. Vegetative #30 30/September/25. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutrition: Parameter of the week 1.650 μS/cm EC I start with softwater around to 0.060 EC CALiMAGic = 11ml to 660 μS/cm EC Canna Coco A&B up 30ml to 1.650 μS/cm EC Everest in Soil = 11ml Total Solution 10 L Watering: I watered my plants with a solution with the following inputs and outputs pH = 5.8 EC = 1.780 μS/cm Input Total Solution 13 L Solution = 3.25 L each Run-Off = 1.840 μS/cm pH Run-Off = 6.5 Volume Run-Off = 3000ml between 22% Observations: Today is the last day of veg. For the flowering period I will be more strict on feed methodology now I become to watering every day with sightly increasing EC in every to fertigation to archive the EC week target as soon as possible...

DAY 29: Wooohoo, it is that exciting time when we notice more of the little white hairs poking up around the bracts and the tips take on a bursting opening of growth appearance. The main 2 in flower are the Northern lights #1 and Grandaddys mimosa. Both have started to stretch and will benefit from the planned l.s.t to keep them in their best light . Northern lights has taken a very healthy S-bend in her stem as she wanted to go tall from the beginning. Her growth rate has been excellent under the light and I can see her stretching will certainly have me pushing the lights footprint limits. Grandaddys mimosa has also added a nice bit of height at around 12 inches now. A good start for stretching too. She has space and I have been removing the larfy lower growth from rhem all to not waste energy. She is a little more advanced in flower then the northern light but very close. Both of the Gorilla cookies are starting to join the party now and look like they are still in veg and pushing tips up for flowering but no signs of bract hairs yet so they will hopefully match the size of the other 2 soon enough. They are a bushier appearance than the other 2 strains so I will have to make sure they dont get overgrown by their canopies after the stretch periods. The mutant Northern lights has still remained small and hopeful but I wont be holding out too.much hope on her. I contacted Fast buds and used their after sales service to discuss the failed seeds. They were excellent and only needed a few details of purchase and a couple of pics with some info on what happened and they have now replaced the 3 that I lost. Well done for keeping true to your word @fastbuds . THE LIGHT What can I say about this amazing piece of tech. A small unit, solidly made and delivering a punch way better than I honestly expected. I thought it was going to be ok to sprout them and bring them up together then remove most of them to grow with my other lights while I flowered a single plant under it. Seeing how bloody capable it is , has thrown that plan out of the window altogether...... I plan now to grow all 4 main plants to harvest and really push the limits of this sunshine in a shade. For 150w of power , it is having no problems providing plenty of par for all of the girls to max their photosynthesis needs. All of them are in homemade super soil and the lights are their main input from my end so something is keeping them very happy indeed. In a box or cupboard , this light could work wonders on a single plant or couple of trained but I feel this would be hiding a lot of potential and underestimating its abilities. A very happy grow here . Let's see how it progresses. Nice work Viparspectra. Until next time. Be safe and well.

Plant ran low on nitrogen during stretch. This was cause by the potassium and phosphorus out competing the nitrogen. I solved the issue with a 3 day dry back.

Here we are in week six of flower and not a lot has happen this week other than the usual watering and letting her do her thing. Only trouble this week was updating GoPro had to try a few times. Other than that we got some rain in my home town and collected about 60 gallons that I'm going to use to finish the rest of the grow. Also, got my new AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch. I was really hoping this two plants would finish before the year ended, however, it looks like they got others plans. See you guys next week.

Que pasa familia, ya estamos de vuelta y empezamos la primera semana de floración, ya cambiamos el ciclo a 12/12 , y ya marco su sexo, es hembra. Pues seguimos controlando ph, lo bajamos un poco a 6,2 a ver si chupan mejor los nutrientes, temperatura y humedad controlados, siempre dentro de los parámetros correctos, hemos bajado un poco la distancia del foco, ahora en floración lo agradecerán. Así que esto es todo, ya veis que va bien tiene buen color y no hay problema ninguno, nos vemos la semana que viene fumetillas.

Let's realign our cosmic compass and embark on a harvest report for our magnificent Cosmos F1, a pure CBD strain that has taken us on an extraordinary journey. Brace yourself for cosmic revelations and interstellar delights! After an impressive 11 weeks from seed and 7 weeks of flowering, the time has come to witness the cosmic culmination of our efforts. I carefully hung the entire Cosmos F1 plant to dry, allowing the cosmic energy to infuse every inch of this botanical marvel. It's a sight to behold, with majestic branches reaching for the cosmos, reminiscent of a cosmic dancer frozen in time. As our cosmic queen gracefully dries, her vibrant hues continue to amaze. The shades of green, intertwined with delicate hints of purple and gold, are a testament to her genetic splendor. It's as if she has absorbed the cosmic essence of the universe, transforming it into a visually stunning spectacle. Now, let's talk about the cosmic power of CBD. Our pure CBD strain holds the key to a transformative experience. With minimal psychoactive effects, this cosmic treasure offers a realm of therapeutic benefits. It's like a cosmic massage for the mind and body, soothing and relaxing, allowing us to explore the depths of cosmic tranquility. The decision to hang the entire plant for drying is a testament to our dedication to preserving the cosmic integrity of our harvest. By allowing the branches to hang freely, we encourage a slow and controlled drying process, ensuring that the cosmic essence remains intact. It's a ritual that honors the plant's journey, preserving its cosmic magic for us to enjoy. As we eagerly await the cosmic transformation, let us express our gratitude to the celestial forces that have guided us on this cosmic odyssey. The cosmos has aligned to bring us the extraordinary Cosmos F1, a gift from the cosmic garden gods themselves. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the cosmic harmony orchestrated by @James and Royal Queen Seeds. In the coming days, our dried cosmic buds will be ready for the next stage of our journey. From cosmic concoctions to cosmic culinary delights, the possibilities are infinite. Imagine infusing the cosmic power of CBD into soothing teas, cosmic creams, or cosmic confections. The universe is our canvas, and with our cosmic harvest, we can create cosmic masterpieces. As we bid farewell to our Cosmos F1, let us cherish the cosmic memories we've shared. The vibrant colors, the pure CBD power, and the cosmic connection we've established with the universe. May our future endeavors be as cosmic and awe-inspiring as this one. Until we meet again, my cosmic friends, lets keep exploring the cosmic wonders, nurturing our cosmic gardens, and let the cosmic energy guide our cosmic creations. May our harvest be abundant, our cosmic experiences be enlightening, and our cosmic journey be filled with celestial blessings. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on

Hi everyone 😁 I would like to thank you all fellow growers and breeders for such a great support on this journey. Thank you Grow Diaries and Green House Seeds. Without you all this wouldn't be possible. Love you all First ever recorded diary so don't know where to even start 😅 I am returning to growing after many many years of break. This is my first ever experience with autoflowers, scrog, lst, led and such tiny grow space. Choice of strain - Big Bang Auto from Green House Seeds. I have run so many strains from this seed bank in the past and I was always happy with the final outcome. Was looking for indica dominant strain, fast flowering cycle and very important heavy yields on small spaces. Again thank you GHSC in very happy of choosing this strain. Little bit about my cabinet. External dimensions: 64 x 50 x 114 cm (W x D x H) Growing area: 55 x 47 cm cm (0.26 m2) Panel based on SAMSUNG LM301B diodes Spectrum: Samsung LM301B – 5000 x72 Samsung LM301B – 3000k x136 Samsung LM301B – 660nm x9 Samsung LM301B – IR 760nm x1 Regulation in the range of 20W - 110W - Meanwell XLG 100-H-AB PPF 300 umol/s PPFD 890 mol/m2/s @30c Total of 6 adjustable fans, 4 exhaust fans 4 modes - silent/drying, vegetation, flowering, full power Active carbon mass in the filter 2kg Absolutely love my grow cabinet. Thinking of next build already. My grow 3 beautiful ladies - Nuna, Luna and Sweet Mary Jane. This was a pleasure experience growing autos for the first time. All 3 ladies on the end developed perfectly. Nuna, left corner lady- tall and beautiful. She had some problems to switch to flowering and was even considering removing her but very happy that I was patient enough and turned great. Luna, right corner lady - have to say she is the queen. She has the most heavy buds from all, the most. colorful. Her wet weight was 420g, can't say how much of dry but guessing approx. 100g Sweet Mary Jane, front seat lady. I think she was the most pleasant to grow of her location but due to no other spare space for drying I belive that I have harvested her at least a week to early. If keep longer I belive she could be the most yielder from all 3. Thank you all for all the support, help, comments, likes, messeges. Love you all 💚💚💚 Will update this diary in some time and when puff perfectly cured 😎 Peace and love ✌️💚

Starting week 3 today, with a challenge ahead with this little bad girl! It's looking good! I'm feeding the plant once each two days, with Seaweed Tonic, 150ml with the suggested dilution from the bottle. Now I have also a bottle of Canna Terra Vega, with NPKS 3-0-3-0. Is it a good idea to start feeding the plant, with also this nutrient? The soil is a mixture of 80% organic soil + 20% of coco coir. What is the best agenda to follow with nutrients? Cheers!! (:

Plant 1 (84 days): 39,5g Got some pretty nice looking buds out of it, not very dense tho, left them to dry for around 12 Days, humidity droped below 50% during the day which kinda scared me but i think they turned out nicely Plant 2 (96 days): 65,4g Buds are way denser, removed the bigger stuff while it was still wet and trimmed the rest once it dried.

FBT 2307 did really well. She has aone. Ice big colas. I did have a ph issue with wrong nutrition base that damaged leaves in early flowering. Once a new solution was given it had stopped. She has a earthy flowery smell. Loaded with frost, and buds feel dense. She will hang for 24 hours then go into the cannatrol. Thank you Athena, Mars Hydro, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
