Welcome to my Ganja Farmer contest grow. Drop a like if you want me to drop by your grows. Either way thanks for dropping by She's doing really well. Would like for her to have bigger buds. Should of started flowering her under my P1000. She has a lovely structure and some nice colors showing up on the buds which seem to be getting nice and dense 20/6/22 she's doing really well. Growing nice and strong. This time I think I'm going to have to do bud washing as the hair is just beyond a joke now. I'm going to do a deep tent clean this week. Just waiting on some stuff and I'm going to get my tents in order. Plant is at to getting struck down with what I'm nearly sure is iron defs. Found 1 to 2 leafs starting out yellow with green vains. Let the soil dry out after a few watering and gave them a boost of Iron (fe). (Have put up a video and focused partly on showing a light iron def. This leaf showed up like this 4 days ago. Took me a day to dry out the soil so it was a little harder to notice) but if I hadn't of fixed you'd of seen what looked like a N def (a yellow leaf with green vains) hope this video helps to help u. Feel free to DM me if you need me to go into any fixes 24/6 Have installed my new AC intake unit, it's more of an AC unit the way I have it set up. I have it outside the tent. And have a negative pressure environment. So, if I can drop my outside temp then in turn the inside temp will drop. There's no point in having it set up inside with the lights off as the RH will go sky high with no exhaust set up as that would defeat the purpose of having AC in an unsealed tent setup. Be good though when I want to grow with co2 this beast will have no issues keeping the temp in check. It's doing my whole top floor. Yeah, it's struggling. Have it set at 20% but it won't drop to 20% until you reach the temp you have it set at. It was 31.5 brought it down to 27.5 in 15mins and that's a top floor in a 3 bed big bedroom house. Id say it would work quicker with the door closed but my RH will only go high and I'd have to run my Dehumidifier and that well, raise the temp. Going to see what happens by dropping the temp to 24c when the air around the pre attached probe goes down to 24 it will go to the % you have it set at. But until then, (you reach the temp) it runs at full steam. It has brought the temperature down 2.8-3c in 15mins. Update. My AC unit intake is nothing but a big ass temp controlled intake, not control temperature. It does help draw up cold air from an extended 10m ducting so I can get 18c air if I want. Just gotta run big ass ducting threw my house. Just until I can punch a hole up into my attic. It runs 16c up there. But I'll need a filter 1st and then I can drop temps rapidly. Looked into an AC unit. They are affordable. A 7000 Btu unit would do my grow room. Runs at 800watts an hour but you have to hook it up to a window. My air outside at night is that temp so I'd be better just running poxy ducting from my attic using this powerful 110watt intake. It'll be great for air flow with co2 growing. I'll hook it up from the bottom to the top and run the ducting either side and let the unit sit on top of the tent. It's so powerful won't need any fans. Just co2 and high ppfd which I have now. Thanks for reading this week. gottagrowsometime

9/15 I'm starting by saying that the plant doctor is a great product. For the first time in forever I have no traces of wpm. The fusarium doesn't seem to be spreading g either. Blueberry is exploding in growth. It seems like everyday the buds are bigger. We had a MASSIVE wind storm. I mean a windstorm that knocked down trees. The blueberry was the only one that wasn't properly vertically trellises. My tiny little supports didn't hold. Nothing broke and there's no damage but I had to move the plant and secure it better. I didn't have time before the doctor but I HAD to do it. I used the trellis from another plant to keep the branches upright as they're so heavy. If it RAINED those branches would've snapped for sure. I put the little one in the lean-to beside the barn out of the wind. Blueberry is getting closer. I really think k it'll make it. UPDATE: I took some buds from the plants that died in early flower and washed them for ice water hash. Well I'm in the process of washing some. There's a lot and I want to see if it's any good before I kill my arms. It's a great forearm workout though. Although it's hard to take a drink now. Of course that's when it REALKY started bubbling furiously. I know I'll get double the next pull at least. I'm going to let it sit and maybe add some more when I do it. I'll post a temple ball if it works out. If not I have other stuff to wash. I may do a diary on that. Went back over and all plants seem happy despite the gusts of wind. Luckily I was able to get the tarp up. I'm taking a break before I die from exhaustion. I felt off the ladder earlier this morning..... 9/16 I watered the plants a little. The soil was dry to the touch but i noticed the container was still heavy so I lightly watered. With all this sun and it supposed to be 80 today I felt I needed to water. The wind is still horrific. I have my blueberry trellises pretty good. Others have wind breaks. I fell hard yesterday morning hurrying around. I was on an upside down bucket on one foot and it kicked put from under me. Legs flew in the air. Luckily I wasn't injured. At least that's something I've taken from martial arts that's benefitted me. Knowing how to fall. Anyway everything is progressing nicely in flower. I'm goi g to continue with beastie bloom but I'll switch over shortly to cha ching. I'm getting close. Also ran a batch of water hash with the buds of dead plants. I didn't think I'd get anything but I did. Now to properly dry it and see if it's any good. Still a heart break. Oh well. 9/17 I totally fucked everything up. I uploaded a shit ton of pictures to the wrong week. The app wasn't working. Hope I didn't fuck or too much. Fed everything today. The blueberry is in late flower. Some buds look REAL close to being done. My wife keeps talking to me so I can't finish this. I have to do things one at a time sometimes and this just isn't working here. Massive wind storms but no broken branches. Temps get down close to freezing at night. Low Temps are bringing out fall colors. I took a video of the blueberry. the other two won't be done for a little bit though. Oh well. I'll just bring them inside the garage at night. 9/18 I've been out multiple times to shake the buds today. It's not raining now but it did last night and today. Another day or two of rain and then some. I che ked some trichs and some buds are done. I'm just waiting for the rain to clear up and we get some sun. Wish I checked the trichs before this bout of rain. It's not raining now though and hadn't for a little while. Prime for thieves but I'm not realky worried. To much hassle for one plant and there's dogs. I may harvest in sections. I was going to do plant doctor today but it will have to he tomorrow. 9/19 It's been raining but today looks good. Treated with plant doctor. I can't say enough good things about that product. I got the trich scope out after a few friends said my plants look ready. Some buds are. That's how it goes. Buds don't all mature at once. I like a solid couch lock though. If the forecast is just going to he more rain then I'll do a selective harvest. It's about the same time the strain finished last year. Now I've got earwigs eating my buds from the bottom up. UPDATE: I found my old trich scope but couldn't find the right batteries anywhere. I wad able to buy a new one for ten bucks. I went back over having more time. After ACTUALLY checking the trichs they were mature. Obviously the whole plant can't be at the same stage but everything is nice and milky. Earwigs were starting to eat the bottom of buds and had stripped a couple lower branches. After seeing this and having a nice day where the flowers dried out and an upcoming rainy forecast I chose to harvest the majority of the blueberry plant. I left some small branches but I'm almost positive it will just turn into earwig food. Seems early to ke but looking back this was about the same time this strain was ready last year. Same problem with the ear wigs only I let them eat the while inner plant before I called it quits and took what was left after it was my finally my perfect stage. I was using a USB microscope and was being to picky. I think I made the right choice.

Drunken Bitch Slap is growing great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. I switched light today to 12/12. So time to start the stretch, and flowering stages. She did get a lot of training today. From root pruning to lollipopped with a touch of defoliation, and lst. Nothing else to report at the moment. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque Genetics. 🌱👍🏻🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Tied her down this week, was a little too aggressive in doing so & partially snapped 2 branches off. Might try using fishing line & sinkers for lst rather than tying & retying every week with twine.

In 1995, scientists placed human DNA inside a sealed, air tight tube with photons. Without the DNA, the photons arranged themselves in a random scattered pattern, but when the DNA was inserted, the photons formed an alignment. Are there metaphysical, multidimensional aspects to our DNA? Have we just begun to understand what DNA is and what it represents? Vladimir Poponin is a well known Russian scientist who in 1995, with his colleagues, including biophysicist Peter Gariaev, conducted a very interesting experiment during their time at the Russian Academy of Sciences. In their paper (P.P. Gariaev and V.P. Poponin. Vacuum DNA phantom effect in vitro and its possible rational explanation. Nanobiology 1995 (in press)), Poponin states, in the introduction of the report, that, “We believe this discovery has tremendous significance for the explanation and deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying subtle energy phenomena including many of the observed alternative healing phenomena.” Why did he feel this way? We will get to that. Poponin and Gariaev tested the behaviour of DNA on photons, little tiny bits of matter, in the “quantum” that our world is made up of. They put photons into a tube specially designed to simulate a vacuum, just like the vacuum of space. With no air inside, they inserted the photons as they wanted to see what they did and how they behaved. The photons were distributed in a way that was completely unordered and random, scattered all over the container. This of course was what the team of researchers expected. Next, samples of human DNA were placed inside the tube with the photons, and what happened next is what’s truly mysterious. The photons reacted to the DNA, and changed their pattern and formed a specific alignment. In the presence of living material, the human DNA, the photons organized! This signified that the DNA was clearly having a direct influence over the photons. It’s one of many examples hypothesizing that something within us has a direct affect on the physical material matter outside of us. This experiment was repeated and confirmed, and it was further observed that human DNA has a direct affect on the quantum ‘stuff’ that our world is made up of. Fascinating to say the least. The Next Big Surprise The next big surprise was observed when the researchers removed the DNA from the container. The scientists assumed that the photons would simply return to their original scattered state, but this didn’t happen. Instead, the photons remained ordered as if the DNA were still in the tube. Poponin described the light as behaving “surprisingly and counter-intuitively.” The researchers hypothesized and were “forced to accept the working hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited.” Is there something being left behind? Something in non-physical form? This experiment tells us that DNA is communicating with the ‘stuff’ our world is made of, and that there is some sort of invisible field that exists. Perhaps DNA represents a place of storage and communications to the past? To the future? To others in the universe who have left their mark, so to speak. Who knows. Quantum Physics and Consciousness Nobel laureate of the twentieth century Richard Feynman once said, with regards to quantum mechanics, “we choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” Another great quote that comes to mind anytime the world of science dives deep into the mysterious world of quantum physics: There seems to be a deep concern that the whole field will be tarnished by studying a phenomenon that is tainted by its association with superstition, spiritualism and magic. Protecting against this possibility sometimes seems more important than encouraging scientific exploration or protecting academic freedom. But this may be changing.” – Cassandra Vieten, PhD and President/CEO at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The reason why the association with superstition, spiritualism and magic mentioned in the quote above exists when it comes to examining certain phenomenon is simply because the observed phenomenon is unexplainable. But it’s important to remember, just because something is unexplainable does not mean that it’s not real, it simply means we don’t fully understand it yet. Academia has a long history of rejecting phenomenon, that’s clearly real, yet simply unexplainable. Quantum physics clearly has a strong connection to consciousness and metaphysical phenomenon. Max Planck, a physicist who originated quantum theory, regarded consciousness as “fundamental,” and matter as “derivative from consciousness.” He said that “we cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” This has been demonstrated quite clearly by multiple experiments, like the quantum double slit experiment. A paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays by Dean Radin, PhD, explains how this experiment has been used multiple times to explore the role of consciousness in shaping the nature of physical reality. In this experiment, a double-slit optical system was used to test the possible role of consciousness in the collapse of the quantum wave-function. Photons were shot through two slits, in multiple different ways. The study found that factors associated with consciousness “significantly” correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double slit interference pattern. In this experiment, tiny bits of matter (photons, electrons, or any atomic-sized object) are shot towards a screen that has two slits in it. On the other side of the screen, a high-tech video camera records where each photon lands. When scientists close one slit, the camera will show us an expected pattern, as seen in the video below. But when both slits are opened, an “interference pattern” emerges — they begin to act like waves. You can refer to the actual study to find out more about that if you want to see a visual demonstration of the quantum double slit experiment. The point is, consciousness changes the behaviour of the particles. “Observation not only disturbs what has to be measured, they produce it. We compel the electron to assume a definite position. We ourselves produce the results of the measurement.” The study cited above points out that “factors associated with consciousness, such as meditation experience, electrocortical markers of focused attention, and psychological factors including openness and absorption, significantly correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double-slit interference pattern. The results appear to be consistent with a consciousness-related interpretation of the quantum measurement problem.” The Takeaway DNA is fascinating, and it’s probably the least understood part of our biology. There are definitely interesting metaphysical non-material aspects to our DNA, and changes to our DNA can come as a result of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions alone. HeartMath researchers have shown that physical aspects of DNA strands could be influenced by human intention. The article, Modulation of DNA Conformation by Heart-Focused Intention – McCraty, Atkinson, Tomasino, 2003 – describes experiments that achieved such results.

Ich habe die Pflanzen mit Topf in die vorbereiteten Töpfe ausgebracht, indem ich eine kleine Kuhle gegraben habe, in die ich die kleinen Töpfe gelegt habe, sodass die Pflanzen näher am Licht sind und weniger mit den Nebenpflanzen konkurrieren. Auf den großen Behältern habe ich präventiv Florfliegen als Nützlinge und Hanfstreu als Mulch ausgebracht, damit der Boden die Feuchtigkeit besser speichert. Das einzige Problem bei meinem Setup ist, dass sich im Tank vom Luftbefeuchter durch das Licht Algen bilden, also falls jemand eine Idee für eine lichtundurchlässige Abdeckung hat, die man lange verwenden kann, gerne melden.

Week 2 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Full Bloom Ahead The girls aren’t just entering flower — they’ve rocketed into it. From what seemed like a short transition, they’ve gone full throttle: pistils shooting, buds forming, leaves praying, and roots bursting through the medium. ⸻ Growth Update – No Pre-Flower, Just Boom This week marked an unusually fast shift: • Visible Pistils Everywhere – no gradual pre-flower here; instant bloom mode. • Budlets Forming – early structures already showing stacking tendencies. • Stems & Roots – while not the thickest stalks, the root zone is bursting with vitality, visibly surfacing in some areas of the soil. • Canopy Size – they’ve outgrown the closet! Photos this week stay inside the tent, it’s just not safe to move these ladies anymore. ⸻ Irrigation Upgrade – Semi-Auto in Motion With the room expanding and multiple genetics running, it’s time to make watering smarter: • Semi-Automatic Irrigation Installed – currently set up to water 8 plants. • Not Fully Automated Yet – still manually monitoring and hand-watering other genetics in the room. • The goal is precision without full delegation — a hybrid system offering consistency + control. This is how smart growers scale: one foot in tech, one foot in the soil. 🌱 ⸻ Red Spectrum Timing – Emerson Effect in Action Let’s dive into light science, because this week, you’ve implemented something most growers don’t even think about: ☀️ What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in the 1950s, the Emerson Effect is the phenomenon where plants photosynthesize more efficiently when exposed to both red (660nm) and far-red (730nm) light simultaneously. Even better? Far-red at the start and end of the day manipulates the plant’s internal clock, promoting faster flowering and shorter day-length response. 🔴 Your Implementation: • 15 minutes of red/far-red spectrum • Before lights-on (simulating dawn) • After lights-off (simulating dusk) This technique: • Promotes faster flowering initiation • Enhances flower site expression • Helps with sleep/wake cycle regulation Well played — this is next-level light manipulation. 🌕 ⸻ AC Implementation – Heat Down, VPD Back in Range The much-needed air conditioner has arrived, and it’s already proving itself: • Old Temps: ~31°C • New Temps: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa (much more ideal for flower initiation) While it’s still a warm tent, the VPD is now in the sweet spot, allowing for strong transpiration, nutrient uptake, and healthy gas exchange. The girls are clearly responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrient Addition – Plagron Sugar Royal This week we’ve added Plagron Sugar Royal at 1ml/L to our Aptus regimen. What is Sugar Royal? Despite the name, it contains no actual sugar. Instead, it includes: • Amino acids – which help the plant produce more chlorophyll and essential oils • Biostimulants – supporting stress resistance, enzyme activity, and resin production Why now? In early flower, Sugar Royal: • Promotes floral aroma expression • Helps boost terpene synthesis • Supports the plant’s transition from vegetative to reproductive growth It’s a perfect complement to your Aptus Core Line, which continues to include: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.2 ml/L • Now: Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⸻ Looking Ahead – Stretching Toward the Sky With such aggressive early flowering and the canopy rapidly expanding, it’s hard to say if you’ll be able to move them for next week’s photo shoot, and that’s okay. If we’ve learned one thing from this strain, it’s that she moves at her own thrilling pace. Expect: • Continued vertical stretch (still likely to gain 30-50% more height) • Strong bud stacking at internodes • Early terpene and trichome formation in the next 7–10 days Your setup is dialed. Your environment is stabilizing. And your knowledge is putting these girls in the best hands possible. ⸻ 🌱 Week 2 Flower Summary – Roller Coster Rises 📸 Stay Tuned, Stay Rooted • Height: ~50–55 cm • PPFD: ~760 µmol/m²/s • Temperature: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa • Light Cycle: 11/13 (with 15 minutes red/far-red at lights on/off) • Nutrients:   – Aptus Regulator (0.25 ml/L)   – CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L)   – All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L)   – Top Booster (0.2 ml/L)   – Plagron Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Photos: Taken inside the tent (plants too large to move) From this point forward, the buds will fatten, aromas will intensify, and your tent will become a living painting of sativa energy. Next week might be wild — whether or not we get outside shots, the story will be worth sharing. ⸻ Let’s keep the momentum going, and let’s keep making GrowDiaries and the community a space where we learn, laugh, and bloom together.

Hello everyone. This week i started app nutriens for my girls. Growing extra fast and look fresh. Stalk is heavy... this all 4 girls are season indoor, all people say wait for 3 to 5 layers of leaves and this can be 30 days of growing... but my have +-15 days and have 5 layers leaves. Happy day for all, peace. Best regards from Polish Smoker Edit: 28.01 i do it trening for my girls Blue zushi - fiming Biscotti & Fresh Pressed Runtz - topping I must wait for Triple G and she got FIM

Day 1 I don't understand why her growth is progressing so slowly; it seems like she's being rather lazy about it, and I have a gut feeling that she is growing slowly because of the humidity PH 6.0 EC 0.6 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 25c Day 2 Refresh the water and add 10 L nuts PH 5.8 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 25c Day 3 PH 6.2/5.8 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 23c Day 4 Thu Add AC water to lower the EC PH 6.2/5.8 EC 0.9/0.7 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 22c Day 5 Fri Add AC water PH 6.1/5.9 EC 0.8/0.7 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 23c Day 6 Sat PH 5.9 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 21c Day 7 Sun PH 5.9 EC 0.8 DLI /19h / PPFD / Water 21c
