22-01 Already in week 5 and the topping is taking off its results. *I ended the grow of nr: 3, just bad genes. but more light for the other 3 plants. 24-01: Applied another round of LST today. This time to create 4 main coala's and a wide and full deck of leafs. When the plants start to get more busy i will add an scrogg technique and do a little defoliation at the bottom of them to take even more profit of the LST. 26-01 I added Mega worm from plagron to the soil to give the plants a big boost so that they are ready for a strong flowering phase.

#seedsman420growoff and #SeedsmanSeeds 📆 Week 8, 15-21 June 2024 15-21 Jun - Observed and let the plant grow. 📑 This was her first true week of flower. Almost all the pre-flower stretch is over now and it is time to begin the budding. Along with the height of the plant, the DLI has increased to 45 now. With this strain being sativa dominate I expect her to stay in the flowering cycle for about 9 weeks. Time will tell. 🍶 19 June nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 19 June feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.6 at 76 degree F 🔆 Light power at 75%, DLI 45 canopy coverage at 12hrs 😤 Using General Hydroponics, HGC728040, Dual Diaphragm Air Pump, 320 GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Deutsch: Tag 56 Grow Tag 2 Blüte: Viel Zeit ist vergangen, und die Ladies haben sich – bis auf einige gelbe Blattspitzen – von ihrem Stress und dem Training erholt. Am letzten Tag der Vegetationsphase wurde ein „Compost Tea“ angesetzt. Für 25 Liter wurden 125 ml Bio-Melasse, 250 ml Bodenhilfsstoff, 50 g Mykorrhiza-Granulat, 2 Liter Wurmhumus und 75 g Knochenpulver verwendet. Die Mischung wurde unter Sauerstoffzufuhr 24 Stunden lang belüftet. Die vermeintlichen Vorteile dieses Tees sind im Internet ausführlich beschrieben. Der VPD wird in den Wochen der frühen Blüte weiterhin zwischen 1,0 und 1,2 gehalten. Das entspricht aktuell etwa 24 °C bei 61 % relativer Luftfeuchtigkeit. Der CO₂-Wert liegt zwischen 650 und 850 ppm. Das Licht wird während der Stretch-Phase schrittweise auf 100 % erhöht (aktuell 90 %, ca. 850 PPFD). Da im Zelt noch Heizstäbe installiert sind, wird auf ein SCROG-Netz verzichtet. Tag 59 Grow Tag 5 Blüte: Unglaublich! ich musste die Lampe in den letzen Tagen insg. 15cm hocher stellen um die gewollten 30 cm Abstand einzuhalten. Den Unterschied sieht man auch deutlich auf den Bildern mit der Gelbtafel als Orientierungspunkt. Die Lampe ist mittlerweile auf 97% ca 900 ppfd - auch das CO2 wurde entsprechend auf 750-900 ppm erhöht. Da die Ladies sich augenscheinlich sehr über den "Compost-Tea" gefreut haben, habe ich erneut einen aufgesetzt. Das bekannte Rezept von Tag 2 wurde verwendet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 56 – Grow Day 2 – Flowering Phase: A significant amount of time has passed, and the plants have recovered from stress and training, except for a few yellow leaf tips. On the last day of the vegetative phase, a compost tea was prepared. For 25 liters, 125 ml of organic molasses, 250 ml of soil conditioner, 50 g of mycorrhiza granules, 2 liters of worm castings, and 75 g of bone meal were used. The mixture was aerated with oxygen for 24 hours. The alleged benefits of this tea are widely described online. VPD will be maintained between 1.0 and 1.2 during the early flowering weeks. This currently corresponds to approximately 24 °C at 61% relative humidity. CO₂ levels are kept between 650 and 850 ppm. During the stretch phase, light intensity is gradually increased to 100% (currently 90%, approximately 850 PPFD). Since heating rods are installed inside the tent, a SCROG net will not be used. Day 59 – Grow Day 5 – Flowering Phase: Incredible! Over the past few days, I had to raise the lamp by a total of 15 cm to maintain the desired 30 cm distance. The difference is also clearly visible in the photos, using the yellow sticky trap as a reference point. The lamp is now set to 97% (approximately 900 PPFD), and CO₂ has been increased accordingly to 750–900 ppm. Since the plants appeared to respond very positively to the compost tea, another batch has been prepared. The same recipe used on day 2 was applied again.

Looks alright.😎

All I can smell is Garlic and onions when I enter the vicinity of these plants…. After a few weeks fighting a systemic infection in the hydro system and res the plants have stabilized and are PUNGENT… loudly pungent!!!

Hey guys this is week 1 in flower for the fat banana. She is growing good now so i think she will become double the size she was before flower. I defoliated her because i don't wanna give her stress later in the flower periode. She gets water every 2 days she is drinking good we gave her callmag pro, sugar royal,power buds and alga bloom from plagron. Its a strong strain ive got no problems so far so lets hope it stays that way😅. Follow me on instagram for mor pictures and videos. Take care and until next week ✌️

Hey now, this week went pretty well, I did get the second toppings completed on day 39, and then I started LST on new growth on day 41. I have one more topping and I will wait to top at the 3rd node so I can spread her out a bit and try to fill the entire 4X4. After that the final topping will be done on the 1st nodes and spread out a little through LST. I am Still feeding the same, running a 400W MH Bulb 18/6, and feeding the same silica/cal mag/maxi gro. I am probably going to transplant later this week to her final 12.5 Gallon home and give the other plant away to a friend who is super excited to get it. I hope everyone is having a great weekend, be safe and Blaze On!

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

D-77 : Girls are going well and they are beautyful but, they are growing alot less than expected. They are 30cm behind they should be. I hope it is because of all the effort I made on the mainlining process at the beginning....

💩Holy Crap We Are Back💩 Well i had so much fun the last round , that we are going at it again 😁 So super happy to be trying this one out , can't wait😝 .....The hope here is also see if we can get some really nice colors when it's all said and done ..👍 Seed soaked for 24 then placed in a tub with paper towels , once it cracked and rooted , placed into its main pot 👌 👉I WISH GD HAD DISCORD SERVER SO GROWMIES COULD HAVE A PLACE TO HELP AND TALK THINGS RELATED TO GROWING .....👈 👉SO I CREATED ONE ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

Welcome back to yet another update on my summer grow 😎🤙🏻 Things are still going smooth, a bit defoliation and nematodes was used and hopefully they will do their job in a few days😁 Started to add bloom to the mix, so let’s see how things turn out. As you can see the red spectrum is really working well, and soon I´ll add some small amounts of IR/UV daily. Looking forward to see the result 😊 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ SpectrumX LED🔥 @medicgrow 880 Watt⚡️ 2x UV/IR LED panels 💥 2.7 μmol/J🔥 Full Spectrum V1,F1,VS,FS🌈 Display with PPFD & Live spectrum Light measurement: Apogee MQ-610 & Apogee DLI-600.

The girls are still wanting a good bit of calcium nitrate so I’m keeping it steady, the smell is great and the buds are entering the mid flower stage nicely. Might even be seeing some hints of purple forming in the core of the Queen’s buds. Watching your plants flower is just a good time, show your girls some love today. cheers

Ending up trans set 1 got a lil more space in GH...topped up the other also did some defoliation(everything) and LST HST( set 1&2)

🍋🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 6 From Seed (Week 2 Flower · 12/12 From Seed) Hello everyone 👋 Quick recap and a warm welcome to anyone joining the diary now, here’s where we are and how we got here. 🌱 From Seed to Now, Quick Context These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls have been grown 12/12 from seed, and we are now entering what we consider Week 2 of flower / transition. Pre-flowers are clearly visible, stacking has begun, and the stretch is now turning into early bulk. They are in that beautiful in-between phase where they still look slightly vegetative, but their behavior is unmistakably flowering. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% It’s still a bit cold outside, but as plant mass increases, lighting intensity goes up, and under-canopy lighting is added, the tent itself has become a stronger heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions without forcing anything, exactly how we like it. • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm • Airflow: unchanged • vortex extraction • cross-winds with multiple fans • constant, gentle movement across the canopy ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. The reason is simple: as flowering progresses, plants shift their nutrient uptake priorities, and slightly higher pH improves availability of key elements needed for bloom development. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml / L • Removed: Terra Grow This change is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. There’s no rush, no shock, just following the plant’s signals. The current recipe (our “Plagron” approach) continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Plant Handling We are continuing with a very minimal-stress approach: • No topping • No aggressive defoliation • Only leaf bending and leaf tucking This method keeps the structure open, exposes bud sites naturally, and avoids recovery downtime. Simple, effective, and extremely practical, sometimes simplicity isn’t laziness, it’s efficiency. The results speak for themselves: • strong branching • compact “ball” formations • clean stacking • healthy color fade beginning naturally ⸻ 📸 Visual Progress This update includes a large set of photos (studio + tent shots) to clearly show: • the transition phase • stretch turning into bulk • visible growth differences over just one week Every time the tent doors open, growth is noticeable, and comparing earlier photos to the latest ones makes that even clearer. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Over the coming weeks: • stretch will gradually slow • bulk and stacking will take over • plant handling will be reduced even further • stability becomes the priority What not to expect: • heavy pruning • forced corrections • unnecessary interventions At this stage, the goal is to let the plants do what they already know how to do. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Big thank you to: • everyone following along • newcomers and long-time readers • supporters, critics, observers, all welcome • the Grow Diaries Team and platform • and all sponsors backing the journey This is a key week in the run, and we’re excited to document it properly and share the learning with the community.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Fo' Twenny here! Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this 16 strain photoperiod SOG grow adventure! We have 18 strains running with 2 regular strains, I want to be sure we can fill up the whole SOG. 9/7 - Just to recap last week. 9/5 I transplanted from the 16 oz solo cups into a one gallon 8" tall Active Aqua 6" x 6" Square Pots. Today, I topped and defoliated. Everything is looking good, now just waiting for them to bounce back. Hoping to be ready for flower within next week or two. This is my first run using a modified SOG method, and not sure how long it will take for them to be ready. Ideally I'd like each main growing shoot to be about 12" or so before sending to 12/12. BAD NEWS: Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! Welp, looks like it's time to upgrade the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light.

We reduced light hours from 20h to 18h..I know being this far in flower it sounds idiotic but we're trying to give them more down time to recover because we (well I did lol) burned the ever living crap out of a few of the babies at 18 inches, lesson learned..the SP-3000 is no joke, it's very intense.. we raised the light to 22" as well.. using autoflowers to dial in wasn't one of my brighter ideas but live and learn lol..besides, we have some killer photoperiod strains immediately on deck and this yield is still looking pretty good considering.. everyone is getting a (very) little bit of P,K and cal-mag with every watering..we're also adding a few ml of grow too.. all new growth has a great color...thanks for reading if you chose to do so and happy harvests everyone! ❤️ ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

I'd really like to try this strain again now that we've got distance set..despite the mishaps they still look like they'll give up a pretty good yield but I suspect it could of been bigger if we got that week and a half back ,but I can't be upset, at our row of good sized colas that look and smell fabulous! ❤️😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Helloooo everyone👋 This is the last week all the girls are ready for harvest🤩✂️ Im very happy with the result for my first outdoor photoperiod session! It was challenging but i had a lot of chance with the weather,this year was exceptionnal😎☀️ Absolutely different to grow outdoor If you want to skip the rain & the cold weather you can force the plants to flower,it works but you have to remove the plants every day at the same hours⏰ If you have the time to make your Homemade nutrient 100% bio its really easy you can find everything in nature feel free to ask me👌 In love with the beautiful purple color of the Biscotti from zamnesia😈

Week 3 most of the photos are in the plastic containers to grow in before being transferred outside
