right now I'm just waiting on some pollen sacks and some pollen but other than that plant looks healthy as we can see and I also changed my lights and my schedule to 12/12 . Feeding big bloom and tiger bloom with a lil secret ingredient and lots of bat poo noticed a seed think we talked about that before looks like imma plant this seed if my pollen sacks don't kick in on time which time is almost up.al I'm also waiting on my crystal to start forming I see it coming In but has a few weeks to fully brighten up the night recording

Procede tutto egregiamente. Son riuscito a coprire la rete quasi per intero. La punta di alcune foglie si stanno ingiallendo, ma non è importante visto che siamo quasi vicino al raccolto. Inizio della seconda settimana senza nutriente per pulire le piante. Spera che la prossima settimana sia di raccolto. Saluti (A)narchici 🖤❤️ Doctor Cannas

Day 64. Another week on the calendar! Time is flying but also feels like an eternity. Still can't tell if there is any signs of light stress from swapping to the QB this late in the grow. I do think the bag seed in veg sharing the tent is possibly showing signs of trouble (https://imgur.com/a/9Sn0gEZ) and would love if someone reading this could take a look and let me know. Other than that, nothing new today, won't water again until tomorrow maybe the day after. I've noticed the environment in my tent has become very consistent since swapping out the blurple. Not sure if it's connected but the RH has dropped to a steady 44% ish and the temp never climbs over 25. Loving it so far! Day 64 update, my loupe and PPM meter arrived. Tested the run off and found it was over 2200 PPM. Flushed her with around 5L of pH'd water, got the run off to 1000. Leaving it there for now as it seems to be a recommended amount for late flower. Will probably only give her plain water for the rest of her time, maybe one more light feeding, then continue to flush it down in the next couple of weeks. Took some test shots with the loupe but sadly I don't think the magnification is strong enough to clearly identify the stages of individual trichomes. Maybe I can play around with it when I take her out of the tent again but that won't be for some time. Let's see how it goes! Day 65. It's almost been 24 hours since the panic flush. She seems to be doing fine other than showing stronger signs of yellowing in the fan leaves. Not sure if its something to worry about or part of the end of life fade? Tried to get a few different trich shots from various flowers but again, the loupe is probably not strong enough to accurately tell. Wondering whether I should try to treat the yellowing or leave it. Day 66. The yellowing continues but at this point there is probably not much to do about it. Gave her a small feeding PPM'd to 300 to see if it helps get her over the finishing line. Tried checking trichomes and can't really tell if some are cloudy or all still clear. Definitely no amber yet though. Hoping for a couple more weeks at most before the chop! She puts off different levels of smell day to day as well. Was a bit more pungent today, very nice smelling. Day 67. She hasn't lost as much leaf as I was expecting considering the last few days progress. Trichomes still look a while away from turning and mostly looking clear. Still has lots of white pistils too. Humidity has been a bit higher than I'd like since watering but I try to keep good air movement and a negative pressure in the tent which will hopefully reduce risk of bud rot. Smelling good but wish she'd have covered herself with some more trichomes! Day 68. All the yellowing/dying leaves have given up and fell off. Not worried as I think I have spotted the first signs of amber trichomes on the main cola and one other. Would love someone to take a look and let me know! Day 69 (nice). Going along fine. The fading seems to have slowed a bit and haven't noticed it spreading to the remaining sugar leaves. Definitely going to give her another 7 days and assess then if she needs to be chopped. Thank you to everyone who replied to my question regarding that. As someone said, if I had already started flushing, the timing was perfect, and luckily I had already been flushing her, so I will continue to do so. I gave her a heavy watering today with some runoff and I might do once more before she finishes? She isn't the frostiest bitch out there but she's mine and she taught me a lot. Hopefully some of what I've learned with her will transition well to photoperiods and the bag seed that is vegging next to her. I'll flip her into flower once this girl is done. Day 70. All her leaves are starting to fade now. There are still a lot of white pistils that concerns me about the timing. I feel like the plant will fade and yellow before it fully matures. The trichomes still look the same to me but I need to get better close ups really. She doesn't seem too frosty in recent days, not sure if it's in my head or not though. Still, hoping for a chop at the weekend if she finishes up, otherwise I might be forced to due to how fast she is fading. I think I also see some purpling on the leaves? Is that from the temps or from the nutrients being used up?

🇩🇪 31.1. mal wieder in Form gebracht und einige Triebe entfernt die nächsten Wochen werd ich alle Triebe versuchen auf eine Höhe zu bringen. Und ich muss vermutlich etwas höher mit der Dünger Dosis langsam zeigen sich ein paar Defizite. Aber das sollte sich mit der Zeit regeln. Happy growing💛✌️ 🇬🇧 1.31. I've shaped it again and removed some shoots. Over the next few weeks, I'll try to get all the shoots to the same height. And I'll probably need to increase the fertilizer dose a bit; some deficiencies are slowly becoming apparent. But that should sort itself out over time. Happy growing💛✌️

Welcome to the Zamnesia Spring Cup 🏆. Hey everything together 🤗. This week has continued to develop super 👍. It was topped for the first time 3 days ago. I think I will not use LST this time because of the short time that remains 😅. Maybe I will do it a few more times top 😁. The Monster Bud Mix also seems to be working, they're pretty dark. They are a little too dark for me , but I will see that in the coming days. Otherwise there is nothing great to report for this week. I wish everyone a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱.

I think Zkittlez Auto has two weeks left, including this one. She definitely looks like the ten week pheno and I think she’ll bulk nicely in these last weeks. I loved growing this auto and am so impressed I was able to get these results considering I’m not an auto grower. I’ve already begun flushing and I think she’ll be a nice smooth smoke when she’s done. I’m amazed at how resinous she is. Looking forward to harvesting and then exploring more auto strains.

Just like the other strain from weedseedsexpress.com there starting really strong pushing the shell off without any help. Also they have some purple hue to then already always a good

Thank you to everyone for following this journey! The results were nuts. Honestly, I would've been happy with 40g dry as this is my first grow. I DEFINITELY did not expect this outcome which is insane. This gives me so much confidence in my future grows and appreciation for the companies whose products I used. So, now to the point - Dry weight - Top class buds - 176g, smaller buds - 32g, larf/leaves/scissor hash - 26g. To sum up - 208g of product you can smoke and 26g that'll go to edibles. First grow, 2x2 tent, 100w light, three-part fertilizer and cal mag - that's insane, especially because I was expecting nothing more than 60g and like I mentioned, I would've been happy with 40g. I even thought my scale was broken or something went wrong, I still can't believe I pulled 208g of bud. It took 117 days from seed to smoke - that's disregarding the cure. Seed to flower in 42 days. Flower to harvest in 61 days. 14 days drying. Thank you to FastBuds, I've sent them an email about the grow with some questions and got a speedy reply with some pointers towards the end of the flower. Also, I don't have anything to compare this grow with but I had 0 issues with pests which I was really happy about. I didn't have to spray anything on the plants, didn't have a single bug inside the tent. They mention on the website that NL is a very resilient strain so that might've been because of this specific strain. Spiderfarmer light did amazing too - 208g of bud from 100w light!. General Hydroponics did way better than I expected - there's so many companies with multiple bottles of nutrients that expect you to spend ridiculous amounts of money on their products while I got crazy results with just 3 basic bottles. Cal and Mag by Canna worked with no complaints. Takeaways - seems like the runoff pH doesn't matter in coco - I could be wrong but I struggled with coco pH from the very beginning. Regardless, the outcome speaks for itself. Maybe the harvest would've been even better with an optimal pH but in this particular grow, I don't think it mattered much. Before starting this grow I've done A LOT of research and it looks like it most definitely paid off! I was panicking at first because of the slow growth. The plant also had some leaf deformities and the color wasn't as green as I've expected it to be. It was stressful at first, I think especially because I was constantly comparing my grow to someone else's. This specific LST method where I kept rotating the main stem clockwise every day or two paid off as well. The canopy was relatively even and new tops grew crazy fast. The only thing left to do is to cure the bud. I had two 1.5L containers ready for cure/storing since I didn't expect to pull much but had to go acquire a few more "big boys" to fit all the product in, which is a good problem to have. I don't think that I'll be updating the cure here but the plan is to burp 2x/day for 15-30min each time for the first week and 1x/day for 15-30min the second week. After the first couple of weeks I won't be timing the burps. As of now, I've placed boveda 62% packs inside the containers to maintain a RH of at least 58% in the jars. About the Northern Lights strain - the smell hasn't fully returned yet post trim, but it smells like sweet fruits with a hint of black pepper. You can still smell a bit of pine/grass but I think that'll be gone after the cure. Buds are covered with trichomes, they shine like diamonds when you take a better look. Also, the buds look a little airy but are still really dense when pressed. The smoke - It's a tasty, relaxing high. I get why people describe it as night time smoke but for me personally, it grounds me a bit and I can enjoy it anytime. Also, it burns white ash :)) P.S. This is a lengthy diary but I hope that people can learn some stuff from my notes shall they read them! Thanks to everyone that followed the journey, showed support or just browsed through. Happy Growing everyone!

Gave the ladies their first dose of nutrients. I made sure they were very diluted. they loved it. When I came to check on them, they were all praying. Yay.

🌱 Amnesia Skunk — Grow Recap (from seed to now) Strain: Amnesia Skunk Auto-Flower: 12/12 from seed Current age: Week 7 from seed Flowering reference: Week 3 of flower (by morphology, not calendar) How we got here • From day one, this run was intentional: 12/12 from seed, no veg phase. • Plants established quickly with strong root development and steady internodal spacing. • Early structure showed vigorous lateral branching, typical of Amnesia-leaning genetics. • Transition into flower was smooth — no stall, no stress signals. • By early flower, canopy density increased fast, especially in a full 8×8 room (~27 plants). This is where room logic started to matter more than single-plant logic. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (current) • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: ~2.4 • pH: ~6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • Lighting: LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. In practice? This is where understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (the part most skip) Under LED lighting, room temperature ≠ what the plant feels. Unlike HPS, LEDs: • Don’t dump infrared heat • Keep leaf surface temperature 2–4 °C cooler than ambient So when: • Room temp ≈ 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants confirm it: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing • No stress-praying • Strong internodes • Uniform nutrient uptake across phenotypes That’s real data. We’re not ignoring numbers — we’re letting plant behavior be the final authority. Stability fixing something that isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — why it was heavier this week Let’s be very clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional, room-driven defoliation. Context matters • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, humidity pockets, and light penetration scale very differently at this density A single plant might not ask for it — but the room did. Why we defoliated • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Let photons travel into the canopy, not just hit the top • Reset apical dominance • Refocus energy toward flowering sites Yes — it was heavier than initially planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Roots are dialed • Feed is stable • Plants are healthy Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. We also: • Found a few minor under-canopy light burns • Nothing serious • Removed affected leaves • Cleaned structure The girls responded immediately — posture, color, and turgor all stayed on point. ⸻ 🌸 Where we are now (Week 3 flower) • Clear flower initiation • Sites are stacking evenly • Stretch is slowing • Structure is set • Energy is shifting from leaf production → flower development This is exactly where we want to be. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next (and what not to) Expect: • Calyx stacking to accelerate • Stretch to finish over the next 7–10 days • Flowers to start defining their final architecture • Strong recovery response from defoliation Don’t expect: • Explosive bulk yet (that comes later) • Resin maturity at this stage • Any need for drastic changes From here on: • Stability • Observation • Small, intentional adjustments only if the plants ask ⸻ 🙏 Final words Thank you to everybody: • Lovers ❤️ • Haters 😉 • New followers • OGs • The GD platform • The GD community • The ones who ask questions • And the silent ones who just watch and learn Everyone is welcome here. This week was defoliation week, and the girls told us clearly what they needed — so we listened. Plants are looking outstanding, and this Amnesia Skunk run is right where it should be.

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.

I'm really contemplating dropping Bruce & Diesel. They're developing very badly. We'll see how they continue to develop, another week and it will be clearer.

This is week 2 for the "gelato auto" from female seeds. this week it was given it's first dose of worm tea to the soil and I also foliar fed the leaves for disease prevention. I tried to transplant some clover cover to the right side of the pot from a empty container the clover did not transfer well unfortunately and so I now have a bare section in my cover crop I'll likely leave it alone and just proceed without regard to it. the plant it's self looks healthy however it does seem to be behind some of my other varieties in size I won't know until later in the grow if this is a normal trait that is made up later or if something is off. As far as I can see though all is well. In addition a added a diy light mover to the garden to aid them in getting more light and I'm steadily increasing the intensity daily. I'm going to do some LST to this plant but because I'm not convinced of its resilience at this time I may avoid topping. thats all for this week. If your interested in "female seeds" genetics or gelato auto specifically or if you just want to know more about organic/living soil growing please follow me and let's watch her grow!

Like a week left before I cut down

Messed up on the days last weeks update. 23 days old today. The mutant is still OK. Planted most of the vegetables outside today with the wife👌. Everything is still looking healthy 👍🤘

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

So there's a few things going on here. First, im not entirely sure if this is amnesia. I started 3 grows at the same time and have forgotten to label them when i've repotted them. This is the most sativa out of the batch of 3 (others are girl scout cookies and monster skittlez) and its supposed to flower for 12 weeks or something like that. However, this is week 7 of flower (or possibly 8, still finding it difficult to pinpoint that) and looking at the trichromes i have a feeling that she is ready for harvest. I'm hoping you guys can help me out here - so theres two questions id like to ask: - does this look like an amnesia fotoperiod plant? and, - according to the trichrome shots : is she about ready for harvest? thanks!

Not much to say but things are progressing slowly. It seems the Amnesia autoflowering CBD from Dinafem is one of the frostier strains so far. The humbolt blue dream is pretty sticky too. I updated this week with a video.

3. Tag der 8. BW.. nächstes Update wird zur Ernte sein !!
