Hang dried for 3 weeks in tent. Goal was to be more patient with the dry & start cure hanging on branch in a tent, my dry tent ranges from 58-61RH & 64-69F BUD is curing in grove bags more pictures coming

Servus Moin! Die MDC #1 Raptor hat diese Woche nicht so gut getrunken wie sonst. Es gab einen leicht dunkelbraunen Drain den ich erstmal nicht weiter beachtet hatte... Bei dem 2. mal Gießen diese Woche gab es wieder leichten Drain, diesmal war er aber nicht so braun, trotzdem habe ich diesen dieses mal weggeschüttet, um Salzrückstände zu entfernen, so das sie nicht wieder in den Topf gelangen.

D35 - The first day in the fifth week of veg for #2 and the fourth for #1. I gave both girls around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.3. I topped the second girl for the second time today, six days after her first topping, and I will top the first girl for the first time tomorrow. I also removed the large fan leaves from her fourth node as they have served their purpose. D36 - Today, it was time to top the first girl for the first time. Exactly one week after the second girl. She had grown a lot in four weeks to a height of 33 cm and a massive 50 cm wide, looking luscious and very healthy. I topped her the same way as the second girl, just above the fourth node, and removed everything below it. I stripped her down to the bare essentials and honestly felt a bit bad for doing that to her. I didn't keep any clones this time, as I still have the clones from the second girl. I might take a cut from her later, though, considering how vigorous she grew. Finally, I gave her around 1.5-liters of water @ pH 6.5. D40 - The first girl has recovered well from her abuse a few days ago, and I should be able to top her again in a couple of days. The second girl is still a few days out from her third topping. D41 - The end of the fourth week of veg for the first girl and the fifth week for the second girl. Sorry about the porno-light pics. I was a bit late, and my lights had already gone into sunset mode.

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) – Floraison Initiale ​Date du jour : 20/05/2026 Âge de la plante : J+46 (Semaine 7) Taille actuelle : 94 cm (avec LST + SCROG) Évolution : +32 cm depuis la dernière mesure (Malgré le tricotage sous le filet !) ​Grand déménagement réussi ! La Permanent White Marker ayant libéré l'espace, j'ai enfin pu installer Spirit et sa sœur dans leur nouvelle tente. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'elle a explosé. ​📊 État de Santé & Évolution de la Structure ​Un monstre de vigueur : Spirit affiche une structure tout simplement monstrueuse. Même si sa sœur prend énormément de place en largeur dans la tente, Spirit a décidé de s'exprimer en hauteur. Malgré le LST intensif et l'installation du filet de SCROG pour essayer de la contenir, elle dépasse largement sa sœur jumelle. ​Stade de Floraison : La transition est bien confirmée, nous sommes en plein début de floraison. Les premiers pompons se forment et sont recouverts de magnifiques pistils bien blancs et vigoureux. ​Le défi de la hauteur : C’est la grosse bataille du moment ! Avec le pot surélevé, le haut de la plante culmine désormais à 1m35 du sol. Mon plafond étant bas, la marge de manœuvre devient critique : il ne me reste plus que 20 cm de battement maximum avant de toucher le haut de la tente. ​⚙️ Paramètres Environnementaux & Culture ​Lumière : Toujours à 75% d'intensité. En raison de sa poussée verticale incontrôlable, la canopée ne se trouve plus qu'à 37 cm de la lampe. Je surveille de très près pour éviter tout stress lumineux ou thermique. ​Climat : Températures maintenues à 24°C le jour et 21°C la nuit. ​Humidité en hausse : L'hygrométrie est montée à 60%, ce qui est un peu haut pour ce stade. C'est sûrement lié à la présence des Autopots et du réservoir principal dans la même pièce. Pour redresser la barre et sécuriser la floraison, j'ai mis en route le déshumidificateur. ​Arrosage & Nutrition : J'ai coupé l'arrivée d'eau du système Autopot hier. L'objectif est de laisser le substrat s'assécher légèrement afin de pouvoir lui administrer manuellement son premier boost de floraison : le Bio PK 5-8 de Biotabs. le 21/05 Apport de 0,75 cl d'eau avec 4 ml de PK 5-8 biotabs PH 6,3 ​📝 Résumé de la situation ​Le phénotype de Spirit est impressionnant de puissance, mais il va falloir continuer à tricoter fermement les branches les plus hautes sous le filet de SCROG si le stretch ne s'arrête pas rapidement. Les signaux sont au vert : les pistils sortent massivement et la plante déborde d'énergie. Le passage au PK 5-8 va venir nourrir cette structure massive pour maximiser la formation des têtes. ​Pour éviter toute confusion dans mes prochains suivis, sa figurine fétiche veillera sur le pot jusqu'au cut ! 🙏 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à @mia_biotabs et à Mrs_Larimar pour votre accompagnement et vos précieux conseils qui me permettent de dompter ce monstre vert, ainsi qu'à tous les passionnés qui partagent cette aventure avec moi depuis le premier jour. ​Suivez l'évolution de Spirit, la suite s'annonce chargée en résine ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Clearly visible flowering now. 😍 Odor is increasing in the tent. I let her grow closer to the lights, currently sitting at 25 cm and she doesn't show signs of stress like before.

Good week. Bulking up nicely,

Hey guy and gals, So, I was going to prune the girls tomorrow, but a mate dropped a half over, got stoned and decide, Bugger It!, so we hooked in today. I did take some after shots. Should have done 'before and after, but, I was STONED !' The girls look happier, more sprightly, less 'HEAVY'. Saved the biggest and best fan leaf for a mate. He is amazed at the leaf size. Then earlier today, when he dropped in ;-) , he had a look and near dropped. Big Bud has so many nodes, he was shocked. The FIMing/Topping, whichever I did has done amazing things. On a side note, I haven't grown heaps before, so this grow is amazing me. Previous grows got small buds, small amount, only just covering the cost of my setup (Hydro at the time and tent). I now have a BIGGER tent, am using SOIL and they are thriving. Personally, I think the water is the major factor, but also my 'dedication'. I check the girls 2-3, maybe 5 times a day (viewing port). Regular PH, moisture and such checks. I even put a sticky fly strip in there, as a bloody fly got in. This grow, besides the constant checking, I have Fim'd/Top'd, I have pruned them to promote growth. Basically, I have learned heaps, both from here and videos. I have re-read pretty much everything I read previously, tweaked a little and it seems to be working. Northern Lights is still a week or a bit more away from a prune, I think, then we will give them a couple more weeks and turn them to flower. I am aiming for a Late May/Mid June harvest, then a month in jars to cure. All going well, I will have a heap of and great choice, for my birthday in July :-D So, feel free to let me know how they look. Shoot through any advice. Hope you are enjoying my story :-) Have just uploaded some more photos, showing the girls, after their beauty treatment :-) All are looking fantastic, Hope you like the images. Just discovered Vipar Spectra have created a 1000W LED which uses a micro 100W to achieve this. The Vipar Spectra Pro Series P1000. I will be looking to buy myself one for my Birthday in July.

* ********* Week 8 - May 30 to June 5, 2020 - Day 50 to 56 ********** * Getting caught up on pictures......... Bud sites finally set in this week and the girls are in full flower now. They have been switched back to 18/6 light cycle as well........they spent 4 nights at 12/12 so I didn’t want to push it further and risk low productivity in 12/12 or her being overly stressed coming back to 18/6 after too long so it was time to switch back. GSC is staying in her own tent now.....she is too big to go back in with the other girls. I have to order a couple of things to make it work but feel that is the best answer. GSC2 went back into the flower tent with the others and just put her on several risers to bring canopy up. The girls need some leaves removed here and there but there are actually very few leaves in the big picture so I am very reluctant to remove too many. The girls seemed to grow smaller leaves and bud sites are smaller right now. Lots of branch on GSC but I am not looking to grow branches😃Branches stiffened up more this week and have been working a little more silica into her feed. Strong stock = big yield👍 GSC has been feeding hard this week. She is having no issues going through 3L a day of feed. GSC2 is being fed the same right now and she is also stiffening up and looking more “perky” all the time......forming into a cannabis plant more now🤞GSC2 has done so well with her bad transplant and growing out of the pot almost sideways......she is a fighter!!! Stay the course for now and get the second environment dialled in for the big girl!!! Little more detail........ May 30/20 - Day 50 - Dry out day for the girls - GSC still not set bud sites.....three days at 12/12 now?? - GSC2 is looking taller and side branches are reaching up more. May 31/20 - Day 51 - 8L water mixed with Dual Fuel @ 2ml, Piranha, Voodoo, Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Wt, CalMag @ 1ml = 1300ppm and 5.9pH - GSC took 5L - runoff 900ppm and 5.7pH - GSC2 took 3L - runoff 1300ppm and 5.9pH - Leaf strip harder on both girls today - GSC is 21” tall and slowly forming bud sites. - GSC still on 12/12 light cycle June 1/20 - Day 52 - dry out day - GSC has a number of hairs coming out today......buds slowly forming, Leaves are smaller. - moved light cycle back to 15/9 today.......slowly working GSC back to 18/6. June 2/20 - Day 53 - 7L water with Vitathrive @ 2ml, Rhinoskin, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 950ppm and 5.9pH - GSC took roughly 4L and GSC2 took 3L.........no runoff from either girl - GSC has more hairs popping and she is progressing. - GSC tent back to 18/6 today. - GSC2 is showing some spotting on her leaves. June 3/20 - Day 54 - dry out day - GSC stem is stiffening and hairs are looking good. - GSC2 is in full flower now as well and looking good....not tall though. June 4/20 - Day 55 - big water day - GSC given 6L with Massive @ 3ml, Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Wt @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1025ppm and 6.1pH - she was super dry and took all 6L no problem, - GSC2 given 4L with Massive @ 3ml, VeloKelp, Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1275ppm and 6.1pH - GSC2 given some kelp and increased based nutes a bit. - GSC in veg tent by herself......she is just to big to go back in the other tent!!!!😀 - GSC2 is getting squished a bit in the other tent as well as they are all doing well and filling in the tent. - GSC2 is put on milk crate to raise her up a bit and some more light on her. June 5/20 - Day 56 - dry out day - GSC didn’t look as happy today as I would have thought? - GSC2 on the other hand is firming up and looking a lot more like a plant in flower now👍

Bonsoir à tous Je suis trop content de mes fifilles elles poussent vraiment bien elles grandissent tout les jours, je les mesure tout les 2 où 3 jours. Elles grandissent de 2cm environ par jour je les trouve magnifique mes fifilles. J'ai deux de mes mutantes qui me font quatre branches principales( on n'y voit sur les photos) je suis refait 😊😊😊 je pense qu'elles vont bien donner. Je vous dit bonne soirée à tous les amis 👍👍👍

Grow Journal – Week 4 Week 4 of veg. After last week’s transplant, the plant is showing its first signs of recovery: a new set of leaves is forming, which suggests it has likely adapted well to its new substrate. I had kept the dome closed until now, but slightly opened it to lower humidity, and the plant seems to be responding well to the change. Inside the grow box, humidity stays between 50 and 55%, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Higher peaks are expected next week, which may make it harder to keep the climate stable, already a bit inconsistent at the moment. For feeding, I’m continuing with the Athena line. Current doses are: • Athena Grow A: 1.5 ml/L • Athena Grow B: 1.5 ml/L • Athena CalMag: 1.2 ml/L • Athena Cleanse: 1 ml/L EC is holding at around 1.3–1.4, with a target pH between 5.8 and 6. I’ve noticed a few pH drops this week, possibly due to working with small 5 L volumes. The main highlight for this week is the visible vegetative growth recovery, an encouraging sign for what’s ahead. The goal now is to keep monitoring closely, especially with the upcoming temperature fluctuations, to keep the plant in the best possible conditions.

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.

One gal hermed :( Guessing as a result of the crushed tubing a few weeks back + defoliation. However, there has been some other wonkiness this grow such as no auxiliary buds on one, and 15-point leaves on another! So perhaps this is just a weaker strain not suited for training?🤷‍♂️ Checked all the other plants and no pollen sacks just yet - fingers crossed! (I sprayed down the whole tent with water as a just-in-case measure) Last big defoliation this grow! ~~~~~~~~~~ Aside from that, everything's looking good. Smaller gals are stretching considerably, two big gals have slowed down to a crawl. The tall gals are about 12'' from lamp, the others 15" - if things don't slow down I may have to consider some HST (nooooot my preference, all things considered - I'll end up with seeds, guaranteed). Or, if I don't see any significant burn, maybe I let them go and just harvest the top portions early? We'll see! More and more hairs every day, buds are getting bigger! ~~~~~~~~~~ OK! - Its the strain! Has to be. Woke up this morning and one of the big gals had fully open pollen-sacks :(((( Picked off every one I could find with tweezers This gal did not have crushed tubing issues, and everything tracked fine. This leads me to believe that these plants just aren't meant for stress training. This day and age - the breeder will usually give you info on the subject - I can't find this online ANYwhere. I know who the breeder is - (big big name-sticker was on the bag) so this comes as quite a surprise to me...but at the same time - you can't find them on the website. Feels like it was given up on, and I snagged some of them on sale, from a distributor who had some left? Best guess. (gal starting putting out foxtails a cpl weeks later - 10'' from lamp) ~~~~~~~~~~ Thought maybe the three smaller gals could use a trellis - unfortunately I did not train them well enough - they are a little too cramped/bushy. I will have to use the Bamboo support system from here on and the trellis would clip bud-sights. So worse case, I'll use zip ties / rope to keep them supported. If its anything like my first grow - the mainline/manafold will do most the work anyhow.

Started last 2 days to add a little of Fish Mix (1/2 or the recommendation in the BioBizz Feeding Schedule), I plan to stop with the Root Juice from now on and only continue with Fish Mix and Bio Heaven for the time being. The 2 bottom leaves, they are showing some signs/spots on the leaves (Last Two Pictures). All the others (and newer ones) looks healthy and no sign of these spots. I think it was just light burn on the wet leaves (keeping an eye on it anyway) Using Photone APP, the PPFD is around 250-300 now. It was around 150-200 in the previous weeks. Additional Information: I'm Using Airpots. 2 Static Fans 1 150mm Exhaust Fan Water PH is around 7, but being organic nutrients I shouldn't be so worried. Update on Seed #2: Never grew (break the surface), so I'm giving up on it (its still in the tent, but zero hopes). So this is just a 1 plant Diary from now on.

I cut another part of the girls, and the total is even greater than the first part! We wait another week for the final sums, but right now the flavor is unique.

This black cherry punch is getting some really nice purple in it faster than my last one did. The voodoo juice x platinum hermed this week so moved it to it's own tent. We have 6 plants remaining in the room. I cut out the maxigro this week. They are getting .5 tsp per gallon of maxibloom now. Seems to be keeping everyone happy. Not much to report other than that. Buds seem to be progressing pretty nice.

Day 105 approximately since seed touched soil. Last girl is running, got few bugs, a bit of WPM caught bottom leaves too. Think she has 1-2 weeks, but forecast is bad, rain mostly, so will visit next week, just to check is there any bud rot ... Eventually smallest, but best girl from all Zami run. Happy Growing !!!

Respect for all of you, brother farmers! masters and beginners! thank you again for gathering on the pages of my diaries! we carry out our work with dedication and live on ambition! Come on guys!🙌👽🙌 WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU OUR 3 YEARS OF AGRICULTURE ON THE PLATFORM. GREETINGS TO THE FRIENDS OF @GROWDIARIES WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE!

Final Results & Conclusions – Harvest, Drying & Curing The grow is finally complete, and it’s time to look at the results. The main goal of this experiment was to compare natural growth vs LST on autoflowering plants, while also documenting two different trimming/drying approaches. Final Dry Weight Sour Jealousy Auto * LST: 44.9 g * Natural: 62.9 g Banana Purple Punch Auto * LST: 36.1 g * Natural: 51.6 g The results were surprisingly consistent across both strains. The naturally grown plants produced approximately 41% more flower than the LST plants on average, or, looking at it from the other direction, the LST plants produced around 29% less than their naturally grown counterparts. This suggests that, at least in this small experiment, LST did not provide a yield advantage with these autoflowers. In fact, the naturally grown plants produced considerably more. However, there are some important limitations. The sample size is extremely small, with only two plants per growing method. Individual phenotype and environmental variation can therefore have a significant impact on the results. There was also an important difference in pot size: the naturally grown Sour Jealousy was grown in an 18 L pot, while the other three plants were grown in 14 L pots. From this grow, combined with my experience from previous years, I continue to see a relationship between available root space and overall plant development: more substrate seems to give the plant more room to develop. The biggest advantage of LST was not yield, but plant structure and height control. The trained plants remained much shorter and more compact, making them considerably less conspicuous than the naturally grown plants. Drying Comparison I also experimented with two different trimming approaches. The two LST plants were wet trimmed, while the two naturally grown plants were dry trimmed. Throughout drying, I tried to maintain humidity between 55–65%. Temperature was unfortunately higher than ideal, staying around 26–28°C, as I didn’t have equipment to control it. Despite the less-than-ideal temperature, the aromas coming from both groups are very promising. At this stage, both drying methods have produced flowers with excellent fragrances. However, this comparison has an important limitation: because the LST plants were wet trimmed and the natural plants were dry trimmed, the two variables cannot be completely separated. Any differences in the final aroma or quality cannot be attributed exclusively to the drying method. For that reason, I’ll wait until the curing process is further along before making any conclusions. Final Thoughts This experiment gave me some interesting empirical evidence about LST on autoflowers. For my setup, natural growth clearly outperformed LST in terms of final weight, while LST offered a clear advantage in terms of plant size and canopy control. The sample size is obviously too small to draw definitive conclusions, so I’d really like to hear from other growers who have compared LST vs natural growth on autoflowering plants, especially when using the same genetics, pot size and environmental conditions. I’ll update this diary again in about a month, once the curing process is complete and I can compare the final aromas and tasting experience.

Has a problem, not sure what. Tried adding a little CalMag today. Anyway going strong. Drinking a couple liters of water per Day
