starting into the final weeks!

Rolling through week 2 of flowering. Everyone has been stretching like crazy :) . Glueberry , sweet creme , gg4 , tangie are mid week flowering 2. Ogesus 1,2 amensia haze 1,2 are mid week 4 some are flowering some are still vegging Rhino Ryder , royal haze and forgotten cookies about mid week 3 from seed . Everyone growing fast moving into the 4x8 in a few days can't wait :)

Se da fin a este cultivo de 2 variedad en carpa de 80x80 por 240w. La primera variedad ya en proceso de curado es la Green crack punch (5plantas) tuvieron buen crecimiento, pasaron por 2 transplantes ( 3lt a 7lt) muy rico sabor se llega a sentir los terpenos de cada cogollo. No es todo, en este mismo espacio nos quedan aun las 4 powerFlower, las cuales estos dias se iran de corte para preparar el secado y posterior curado. 5 Green crak punch

hey all, let's do an experiment with budswelling and without ! i know it will not be exact science but i will give some insight if it works or not. i have got 2 C.banana and 2Royal Gorilla on 1 plant of each sort i have done my budswelling so we can compare both strains and the effect at the end of harvest to see if it makes a difference or not. in my believe it makes a difference but i can not prove it maybe this will give an idea if it makes a difference or not. also i have put an video on how i do the budswelling with scissors or with fingers. i prefer to do it with fingers it's a lot quicker then with scissors. You need to do this on al the buds not only on top. Some say you need to do this every week but i only do it after 3or 4 weeks into flowering.

Started the girls with some LST to see how they all coped and they bounced back well.

They Germinated really fast they was very vigorous seeds

Today marks almost 5 weeks since germination and I thought that the damaged plant had recovered enough to make the journey the rest of the way home. I’m looking at other people’s phenos of this strain they can have quite a bit of stretch and given that I have another project up and going it was time to turn them to flower. I’d like to see the 36”+ stretch that I’ve seen out of others that would make these quite the specimens

Bomb week!! All pictures/ video was takken on day 9 and i gotta say its looking wild. I Didnt expect them both to start growing so crazy. Lst really seemed to help some of these just explode with tops. I feel like compared to my first indoor run these are like a week ahead, as far flowering goes. Wich is also interesting because Double Ds can go for 9-10 weeks! Cant wait to see how these babies do there thang One problem actually i found a little bit of aphids nothing crazy but im going to continue using the growsafe insecticide/fungicide/pesticides.

Day 64 - Starting another week and she’s definitely frosting up pretty nicely. He being closer to the light is also helping her fatten up quite a bit. She’s looking amazing! She will be getting another two gallons of water either Sunday or Monday. Day 65 - She’ll be needing some water for sure tomorrow and will give her another light defoliation as well, some of the fan leaves are getting huge and blocking light. Day 66 - Should of gave her some water and nutes yesterday because she was seriously droopy today. She took another 2 gallons of water so she should be perked back up in a couple hours. Other than that, she is frosting up beautifully. Day 67 - She’s really been bulking up lately and she’s perked up after getting some water and nutes yesterday. Did a little defoliating today to get some of the giant leaves off and out of the way. She’s definitely still got a few weeks left so will continue feeding her nutes, at leas for the next couple of feedings and then see where she’s at. Day 68 - All still looks great and starting to smell kinda fruity. Other than that, just watching her chug along everyday. She’ll need some water on Friday. Day 69 - A lot of trichs are really clouding up and everything is looking great with this girl. She’s gonna have nice, fat and dense buds and can’t wait to harvest this girl. Will be giving her some water and nutes tomorrow, the pot is starting to get pretty light. Day 70 - She got her next feeding of nutes today. I thought she could probably go another day but last time I did that, she was really droopy so trying to avoid that.

Just growing along nicely

Grow Update — GMO Cookies Week 6 from seed | 12/12 from seed Marked as: Week 1 Flower Quick recap for anyone just joining This is a 12/12 from seed run, meaning plants have been grown under a flowering light schedule from day one. Because of that, development doesn’t follow the classic “veg → flip → flower” timeline. Instead, plants express themselves at their own pace, and structure, stretch, and flowering signals appear more organically. Now, in week 6 from seed, there’s no doubt anymore: this GMO Cookies is in flower. ⸻ Current environment (stable & shared across the room) • Temperature: ~27.5 °C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~900 ppm • PPFD: ~600–850 • Smaller plants: ~600–700 • Taller plants: up to ~800–850 Light intensity is intentionally staggered. Plants are allowed to grow into the photons naturally, rather than forcing a flat PPFD across different genetics and sizes. This helps maintain balance and reduces stress during stretch. ⸻ Root zone & watering • pH: 6.5 • EC: 2.4 • Root / reservoir temperature: ~17 °C Slightly on the cold side, acknowledged. Still within a manageable range, and plants are responding well. ⸻ Nutrition — why the switch happened • Switched from Plagron Terra Grow → Terra Bloom • Following the Plagron feeding schedule • This was the only intentional change As plants clearly entered flower, nitrogen-forward feeding (Terra Grow) was no longer appropriate. The switch to Terra Bloom reflects what the plant is now asking for: 👉 support for stretch, branching, and early flower development. The feeding schedule is being adapted slightly to match uptake speed and plant response, rather than followed blindly. Observation first, bottles second. ⸻ Training & plant behavior Low stress training is ongoing: • Leaf bending • Gentle positioning • No aggressive topping or hard stress The response has been excellent. This GMO Cookies is: • Stretching evenly • Branching beautifully • Forming compact, bushy structures What you see now are little green bushes, with multiple tops forming naturally. Those “little balls” and dense branching patterns are exactly what we want at this stage — it means the plant is distributing energy well and preparing multiple flowering sites. Color is strong, healthy green, with no signs of active stress. ⸻ What this means • Training is working • Environment is dialed • Nutrition is aligned with the plant’s phase • The plant is confident enough to push structure and flower at the same time This is the kind of growth that doesn’t happen by force — it happens when conditions allow it. ⸻ What to expect next week • Continued stretch • Clearer flower formation at branch tips • More defined structure as internodes space out What not to expect • Instant bud stacking • A frozen structure (she’s still moving) • Identical behavior to other genetics in the room Each plant runs its own race. ⸻ Final thoughts & thanks This 8x8 has been a real roller coaster — emotionally, visually, and educationally — and this GMO Cookies is no exception. Watching her respond, adapt, and thrive has been a pleasure. Huge thanks to: • The OGs • The newcomers • The lovers and the haters • The sponsors • The platform • And the community that makes these diaries worth writing It’s truly an honor to share these grows openly.

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.

Everything has gone extremely well. Couldn't ask for q better first grow. Have been flushing with just pH'd water for about a week. Starting the ladies dark period today. The smell is super gassy and pungent. I can't wait to taste these buds 🤤 Six Shooter #2 definitely could have gone another 2-3 weeks. I decided to flush it anyway and maybe use it to make edibles. Next grow I will have a separate drying area and not have to worry about synching the harvest dates. Big shout out to Fast Buds for these Awesome Genetics 💪🌱💪 Thank you so much to the Grow Diaries Community and all those that helped and like my grow along the way 🙏

Started adding the nutes at 1ml/l. Just using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco A+B for veg, Will add in some molasses after any HST or defoliation (stress). Looking good so far.

Harvest Week! Finished my first legal Indoor Grow in Germany in 67 Days from Seed to Harvest

Time to try out some new strains This time we have Purple Lemonade from FastBuds! Started off with 24 hours in a glass of water then into a paper towel,then once the taproot was about half an inch I transferred her into a coco pellet. Once she’s broken the soil it’ll be into the tent. Day 3 Looks like it’s time to up pot her and get her under the light.

1/2 strength nutes

week 3, at day 21 I started to defoliate. needs more airflow around colas. This is the start of defol, will clean and prune as needed next week. Stretching has slowed and colas are starting to stack. Ran a sort of modified manafold into the scrog. "V" on the left has 15 tops from 4 main stalks, she was topped to 4th node early on. "Blue nemo" was topped to the 3rd node early, she has 18 tops after the week 3 prune of the week lowers who couldnt make it up to the canopy. I left some popcorn buds down low that have began to develop, will throw these in the ice water hash after harvest.
