day 58: Just visual checks. Soil still felt a little moist. The "burned" leaf tips didn't get worse. day 59: Watering day. It may be a bit early, but I decided to give her only plain ph regulated water from now. I find it hard estimate the procentual distributation of light/cloudy/brown pistils/trichomes. From checking several buds I'd say about 20-25% of the pistils are brown and 20-30% of the trichomes are cloudy. Additionally removed some small popcorn buds that were freshly developing near the ground and a few inner leaves. day 60: Just visual checks and refreshing humidification. day 61: Just visual checks and refreshing humidification. day 62: Day of watering. Some buds are at about 40-50% brown pistils, while some others are still at about 10%. So I decided to give it at least some nutrients one last time and poured 3 liters of water with fertilizer and 3 liters with ph-down only. I think we are getting closer to the goal. day 63: Found some suspicious looking leafs in the center of the plant. By now I don't really now if it is because I lowered nutrients or some major problem. Let me hear what you think. day 64: Just visual checks. We're getting closer to the end.

Installed my new CO2 generator yesterday, closed loop system so won't attract bugs like the other. Also have an exhale bag hanging up top of tent. After talking to a few of you guys decided to drop light down to 18-19in @ 80% So getting ready to wrap up week 6, may be one more update before we move on. Plant 1 (Left from front view of tent) Seem to be doing great, had to flush and adjust feed was getting minor def's. Soil seems a bit of a mess when I flushed, most likely from me feeding way to early and too much. So I kind of expected that, so it backs up the hypothesis that I actually know whats goning on for the most part . lol. I stabilized it. Plant 2 (Right from front view of tent) Stopped LST on this one last week, I overfed it way to early, and probably got too much light early on too so its lagging behind a little, but hanging on. Picked up some nute burn, flushed out and stabilized everything and adjusted feed sched. Seems to be hanging on strong though just a smaller slower guy. Overall nothing drastic, except MORE FLOWERS!!!, which is good. Thanks to a few of you guys I know understand monitoring EC and PH much more indepth and will continue to monitor throughout and from now on. I didn't want to take on too much learning and get overwhelmed. Figured I would do it when I had to and had an issue. Well I did, and now understand. So that should be a great help moving forward. Shout out to @Creepy_Steve @HappyWeeds specifically, but literally everyone I have spoken to here has been great, and more helpful than you can hope for. I have learned so much in so little time. THANKYOU! 😎

So insomnia won out N I finally got round to topping the plant to try a style of mainlining. Ive lolly-popped the bottom and left 3 nodes untill topping the main stalk. I then topped all lowers aswell. Lets see how she heals,as her stalk was hollow😫Fingers crossed N see how she bounces back with the CO2 from the Enhancer N Shogun Fretlisers.

Strain: Chocolate Haze (Royal Queen Seeds) Medium: Coco bricks (Action budget bricks – hell yeah 💰) Light cycle: 12/12 from seed Grow Style: No training, no stress – just flow Grow Medium Prep: 500L of coco – never again in one go 😅 The Kickoff 🚀 This run started off wild and direct – no veg time, straight into 12/12 with Chocolate Haze. I wanted a quick turnaround and thought, hey, why wait? I germinated 14 seeds, hoping for at least 9 strong ladies. Ended up with 11 survivors – not bad! First few weeks were a bit chaotic: stretching due to low light (I tucked the seedlings under mature plants, which I do not recommend 😆), and the coco prep took way longer than expected. But hey, that's the game. Early Veg/Bloom — Lessons Learned pH: Started a bit high; some light green leaves at first EC: Too low at 1.3 — they weren't having it. Upped to 1.7 and then to 2.1 later Environment: New extractor dropped temps way down (25°C vs my usual 30°C). Thought it would help, but growth felt slower Coco quirks: They looked overwatered at times, but coco is tricky like that. Eventually, roots hit the bottom and they took off Around mid-March (3 weeks in), pistils showed up – officially the start of flower. I topped them once just before full bloom kicked in. Always a strange move, cutting healthy plants... but they bounced back beautifully. Nice and bushy now. Week 2–5 Flowering 🌸 These ladies are small but mighty. Not tall, but full of energy. The canopy is tight and even (except for one shorty), and they've been stretching like crazy — classic sativa move. Had to raise the lights twice in two days. I’ll probably do some defoliation soon to slow things down a bit. Environment is now dialed in: Temp: 30°C with lights on RH: Holding nicely in that humid sweet spot CO₂: Set to 500ppm (passive mostly, no full-on enrichment) Feeding is now solid, color has recovered beautifully, and the buds are starting to form nice stacks. I’ve kept it low-stress — no nets, no heavy training, just letting them do their thing. Observations & Setup Tweaks 🔧 Ventilation: Running the fan at just 30% now. Tent takes 18 seconds to vacuum seal, which tells me airflow is minimal – less CO₂ loss. CO₂ System: Minimal usage at 500 ppm. I’m not going all-out with gas bottles; it’s just there as a buffer. Structure: These Chocolate Haze plants don’t get tall, but they do fill out nicely. Perfect for a space where height is limited. Auto side note: One of the autos in the same tent is way taller, but less dense. Makes me appreciate the Chocolate Haze structure even more. Current Status (April 17) 📆 We’re deep into flower now — week 5, and it shows. Buds are swelling and resin production is kicking in. Nothing major to report (which is kind of the point of this grow — set and forget). Just a slight dry issue with one auto, which I adjusted on the Blumats. Besides that? Happy plants, happy grower. 🌞 Check the latest pics — they speak for themselves. Final Thoughts (So Far) 💭 This Chocolate Haze grow has been chill, efficient, and surprisingly hands-off. The direct 12/12 schedule really works when you're going for a fast cycle with minimal hassle. And even though I’m usually more into hybrids, this sativa-dominant lady is winning me over — the structure, the vigor, the smell… mmm. Now we wait for the real magic — the last few weeks of flower. Trichomes incoming. 🍫✨ Stay tuned for harvest updates — it’s gonna be sweet. Feel free to drop any questions or thoughts. Always happy to share the love for the plant. 💚 Peace

Day 165 14/10/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today Starting to see new growth showing purple and dark tones 🤩🖤 Picture and video update 📸💚 Day 167 16/10/24 Wednesday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. I may as well make it last out this week and see how she is again. I'm thinking she may end up being a 10-12 week flower because of size. Picture and video update 📸💚 Day 169 18/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. She is starting to put weight behind her buds now... I went through and did a deep lollipop and defoliation because of what happens to Euphoria in my previous diary, I am not risking mould again!!! She is doing well! Her colours are coming through nicely now. Day 171 20/10/24 Sunday (End of week) Another feed to finish the week 💪 she is taking it like a champ. De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 after nutrients.

A new week with new developments :). Not much to report but the girls are doing really well. Pistils are popping up left right and centre. The stretch on both plants has actually been less leggy than I'm used to from this strain. Ive just been doing straight water feeds with no added liquid seaweed and no top amendments to the soil this week. As you can see the girls really aren't in need of any more nutrients at this time but next week I'll be feeding with liquid seaweed again and the next top amendment dressing isn't due for another three weeks along with another defoliation to allow light to those lower bud sites. I have done some tying down just to ensure a more even canopy for better light penetration to the lower growth. Since I haven't got a lot to report I took a couple of videos and some photos for you all to enjoy. If you guys like the content of this diary please drop me a like or drop a comment on what you think I could do better or include in future posts? Until next week! ✌️

We got roots, I had a brief PM scare but it ended up being just a salt buildup from spraying the clones with light GH nutrients.
