🌱 LSD — Week 4 Veg Report (Mixed Light Histories) Quick recap for anyone joining us here at Week 4 In this run, not all plants followed the exact same light timeline early on — and that’s why we’re now seeing two distinct expressions inside the same grow, under the same current conditions. This is intentional, educational, and incredibly valuable to observe. ⸻ 🌸 The Early-18h Plant — Signs of Flower Initiation One of the plants spent a few weeks under 18 hours of light before joining the rest. Now, at Week 4, she’s clearly showing early flowering signals: • First pistils appearing • A subtle but visible shift in posture and energy • That unmistakable “I’m ready to bloom” attitude She looks beautiful — relaxed, confident, and eager to express herself. This is not stress. This is timing. What’s happening here? The earlier extended vegetative light allowed her to mature physiologically faster. Once environmental cues aligned, she was simply ready. She wants to be free. She wants to flourish. And she absolutely will. ⸻ 🌿 The Others — Classic Veg Growth, Right on Track The rest of the plants are behaving exactly as expected for Week 4 veg: • Up to 6 nodes • Clear branching initiation • Very uniform structure across individuals • No visible flowering signs yet They are lush. Deep, healthy greens. Leaf structure is expressive and full of character — a strong genetic signature showing itself clearly now. You can already tell: this is good genetics, handled with respect. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Nutrition (Unchanged, Dialed-In) Everything remains consistent across all plants: • Nutrition: unchanged, same recipe for all • Watering: same rhythm and inputs • Room temperature & environment: stable • Temperature: ~25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: ~60% • CO₂: ~666 ppm • PPFD: increased slightly this week • Now sitting around 600–700 PPFD, depending on plant size and proximity to the light • Roughly +100 PPFD compared to last week, adjusted naturally as the canopy rises This is a key point worth repeating: 👉 Different expressions are coming from timing, not from different treatment. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Matters (and Why It’s Beautiful) This week is a perfect live lesson in: • How light history influences developmental timing • Why plants in the same room can behave differently — without anything being wrong • How consistency allows genetics to speak clearly Nothing is forced here. Nothing is rushed. We’re simply listening. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank-you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and respecting the process.

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.

So this week is the start of flower !! Woooohooo finally get to show what I'm made of ! Step one ) take all the big fan leaves Step two ) establish a "light line" and take all small shoots that are unable to get the proper amount of light due to their distance from the top of the canopy. * These are the places we all wish would grow ! These are also the places that are at risk of - hermaphroditism - mold - waste of energy for the plant. ** These are also some of the best places to take clones ** Continue to tie and secure everything in preparation of massize buds ! I hope some people looked at this like " This took way too much off " I took ALOT. Yes I push , I push hard to know how much they can take . Yes I would say 60% of plants DO NOT like a massive defoliating. But, the ones who do , you will unlock a yeild like never seen . It's the risk we take . One thing I have noticed is when I'm gonna defoli , I don't combone high stress or toping + a bunch of other techniques . Should have some pretty huge plants by two months ! Thanks for stopping by more notes and pictures to follow . First week of flower was a great success!!! Unfortunately I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly where I would want them . For these genetics, it's crazy , they haven't been topped or LST'd and yet they are growing flat at the top ! *** I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly up to par. So I'll do my.best to make it up with notes , - this week very little flower stretch that is definitely a plus for people who want medium sized bushy plants . Not saying that this one won't stretch but so far there has been very little stretching . - there are ALOT of nice shoots throughout the canopy, plenty of places to take clones *** this genetic clones very well so that is another thing to note ! So great clonability . The end of week one I have seen very little stretching , in my opinion these could all be considered S1 . It interesting, even with no topping or training these plants NATURALLY grow FLAT! so for all you Screeners out there this is a primal genetic for that !!! In to week two !!! Here We Go !!! -------------------------- Find these world class genetics at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/exotic-animal#:~:text=What%20is%20Exotic%20Seed's%20Exotic,be%20cultivated%20indoors%20and%20outdoors.

Welcome growmies, to the becoming of Amaretto Tarmac. You don't need to ask me twice concerning almonds, amaretto, or marzipan.. 😋 😍 Genetics: Amaretto Sour X Apollo Black Cherry And OMFGS she turns purple!! 💜 Thanks @SeedstockersOfficial for the beautiful goodie pack!! :squirrel: 💚 💨 Can't wait to grow the new stuff!! Everybody, if you like, check out the other Seedstockers' new strain I grow here on GD: Terp&Tonic Auto! https://growdiaries.com/diaries/178026-grow-journal-by-slowpokefuegobud Thanks @GreenBuzzNutrients for sponsoring your products, I am very happy!! 💚 If anyone wants to give those nutes a try, you find a generous discount code in my setup description! 😙 _______________________________________________________________ Strain description: Amaretto Tarmac was born from the cross of two varieties with a high pedigree: on the one hand, the tasty American Amaretto Sour; and, on the other, the resinous Apollo Black Cherry. This union results in a sativa-leaning strain that will certainly captivate those users looking for a psychoactivity that is both powerful and energising, and which induces creativity. This is a 5-star strain whose terpene profile is something incredibly special: the combination of a hot tarmac aroma on a bitter background, along with an Amaretto flavour and a mix of cherry, blueberry, and kola undertones. A truly unique taste that is a must for those with the most demanding palates who are in search of new experiences. With a relatively short flowering period for an 80% sativa-dominant strain, Amaretto Tarmac will be ready for harvest in just 8 weeks (in late September when grown outdoors). This beauty is also highly decorative as she can express two different types of phenos: one with more greenish tones, and another one with lovely shades of purple. ______________________________________________________________ Setup: 140x70x200 cm Spiderfarmer tent 2x Monkey 16W fans (not oscillating) 1x Secret Jardin 30W 1x box fan 50W oscillating (on lowest level) LED Full Spectrum 320W AGLEX AGL-320W-MA 5,6 kg foldable, dimmable 864 pieces Samsung LH301H 864umol/s 2,7umol/J full spectrum white + RED 660nm + IR 740nm wavelength range 380-780nm covering 3x4ft Green Buzz Nutrients https://greenbuzzliquids.com/ ❗ Use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) Biobizz Lightmix Carbon Active Granulate Filter 125/360 cm³/h PrimaKlima exhaust EC 125-400/240 cm³/h

Our friends at Zamnesia are frenetically active in the search for innovation for their growers and here too we have one of the newest, full of hype, Californian strains Super Boof naturally in an exclusive Zamnesia version. If you only look at them a week ago it seems unreal, but when the plants start, they go. In this diary you will find the plant that we will let grow straight, applying only a few techniques that do not involve cutting to preserve its characteristics of speed. After taking the first fertilizers the plant is really very very well at a great pace and we expect great things the internodes are growing very well and we are practically almost in pre-flowering. You can find the other one in the next diary worked with Topping / Main Lining / Main Folding The comparison is the salt of the experience. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4gr in the mix, 1 gr under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l of Alga Grow I have doubts about the compatibility of Pure Zym with mycorrhizae. If in doubt, ask the experts, do not mix too much at random. https://plagron.com/en Doubts about Pure Zym / Mycorrhizae compatibility have been dispelled, they can go well together according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Sample some of Leafy's strain of the year ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/13317-zamnesia-seeds-super-boof.html Zamnesia Short Description // Here's your chance to grow one of the most sought-after strains of recent years: Super Boof, crowned Leafly's strain of the year 2024, and for good reason. Descended from Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies, this indica-dominant hybrid (70%) takes the already exceptional characteristics of its predecessors to new heights. Grow it at home to find out for yourself. You can find the whole world of growing at Zamnesia and much more, take a tour of the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are exceptional and the old ones are no exception... p.s. no Hermaphrodites yet, growers can you say the same? ---- // www.zamnesia.com

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Everything is working out well this week, not a whole lot to report about. plants growing well and not many issues I have seen, I think this is my favourite plant in the tent atm. this might change later on. Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover. NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet" Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12 . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/OriginalETS/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/emeraldseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/emeraldtriangleseeds/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/emeraldtriangleseeds https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/emerald-triangle-seeds

Shes blowing up and is really throwing the trichomes! I'm super happy with the odor and shes very vigorous. She seems to be taking a little longer then her friend strawbwery gorilla. I expect to see her swell!!!! My apologies that I was late this week will double up on Thursday for you guys as these photos I took last Wednesday to put things into perspective. Check back next week to see just how fast she grows. Don't forget its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

VIDEOS ADDED FOR @Fast_Buds #BestStrainPresentation Contest! HARVEST - DAY 96 - 06/20/2020 - NEW PHOTOS ADDED (06/27/2020) - CURING AS OF 06/23/2020 DRY/CURE UPDATE 06/23/2020: DRY WEIGHT: 64 GRAMS - 44g Buds - 16g Trim/Larf - Best Results Yet! 🙏 Best Quality flower I have been able to grow in my short hobby career. Best looking, density, quality of flower due in heavy part to @Fast_Buds genetics and my slowly improving grow skills. Cannot wait to get a full test once they dry and cure for 2-4 weeks. I'm going away in a couple weeks so I will take my half-cured tester up and test it by the lake 😎😇 Mac, Frank, and Charlie all down on 06/20/2020 after a week of half light and 48 hours of pure dark. Mac is fully ripe to get that stoney effect. Frank should be right in the sweet spot for highest THC. Charlie is a week or so early for that early energetic pure Sativa end of the spectrum. Mac was a fresh wet trim for the photoshoot. Frank just got trimmed and chopped up today so I will take dry pics before they go in the cure jars. Charlie is still hanging with the sugars. Will trim him today or tomorrow. All have a couple days left hang drying in the tent minimum. Will update with pictures as I go! UPDATE: 06/27/2020 Curing and breathing 2x a day since the 23rd. Made hash for the first time! About a gram from the trim and a crappy magic bullet blender has set up 😅 Going to turn it into Cannabutter for @9teen90 for the help on the logo creation! Give her a follow on IG! -- Thanks for checking it out! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour! 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow - Msg me you're from Grow Diaries so I can follow back and avoid bots/plugs!

Total days above ground: 70 Total flower nights: 31 Vege growth stopped around FD25. Started feeding 1/2 strength fertilizer FD26 (last 6 irrigations including today). Excellent development across the canopy. Tried to get some pictures showing how the colas are stacking up along with a couple shots of terminal buds. Included some photos and videos of irrigation setup, drainage and other half of the tent setup that is not often visible in weekly updates. Also, a video showing the canopy with some grateful dead background music. Last week including progression pictures as they are full size. Kush Mints have been awesome 1 through 4. Great structure, easy to manipulate, and a couple had a nice strong minty smell that keeps changing everyday, so I'm not getting my hopes too high, yet. This stuff evolves over time and what a stem-rub smells like at FD30 isn't always representative of what the finished product will be. Regardless, super happy with the crop, overall. Smell is starting to ratchet up. Bud sites are mostly formed at this point and we will see some noticable ripening by next week's update. Might see a hint of fattening calyxes in the bud pictures this week. 2026-2 starts in 8 days. Will have some Blue Cookies and Pineapple Express from MSNL running along side some Vanilla Creme Pie from HSC. Can't believe winter-2 is already starting. Time is flying by. Breeding cycle is doing well. Will update that when the pollen-receivers join the pollen-donator on a 12/12 light schedule. Side note -- looks like I avoided any issues from accidentally leaving port hole opened about 8 or 9 days ago. I have it marked in notes and will feel 100% confident 2-weeks out from the incident. So far, so good. The lung room is mostly dark and light would have to travel a difficult path to get in the tent, but still mildly concerned about it.

Hey now, hope everyone has been well. Super excited football season is finally here so things are about to get busy. I went out of town for 4 days and the plants struggled a little bit with the PH getting slightly too high before I returned. I also came back to see that some type of insect was munching away on the lower leaves of my Sundae Driver which I sprayed the plant and coco with neem oil, but hopefully they didnt do much damage before I can get them under control I have never experienced insect problems indoors, likely because I grow in Coco and not Soil. However, I left a 5 gallon airpot full of coco from a previous grow outside for a couple weeks by mistake, and pretty sure bugs got into. I wont make that rookie mistake again. Anyways the rest of the ladies are looking pretty good, They are almost getting what I consider a full dose of nutrients, even though it half of the manufacturers recommended dosage. I am feeding all Gen Hydro cal mag, Armor Si, and maxi grow. I also add some food grade hydrogen peroxide to keep the reservoir fresh for around 10 days or so but I clean it once a week. Not sure why I cant select them on this site anymore, I know they got sold but they don't list them under either name. I did get all the ladies transplanted from solo cups to airpots on day 16, and it took 24 hours or so for them to recover from the transplant and start growing again. I am running 3 of the 3.4 gallon, and 2 of the 5.4 gallon just because that is what I had available. I hopefully top them all sometime this week for the first time, as soon as the roots are a little stronger. I let them grow to 7 nodes or so before I top them and make sure they're growing fast. Hopefully I can still mainline the Sundae Driver, she looks healthy other than those two leaves chomped off. I dont really do any LST until I get get the first toppings done, because my primary goal at this stage is to ensure she grows a strong set of roots before I start manipulating her. All the plants are on their 5th nodes, except for this Green Crack 2.0 which is only on her 4th node. We got another heat wave coming through my region that I am not too excited about but at least its earlly in the game and I dont need to crank this light up yet. I am only running it at 30% and its putting off plenty to keep this ladies happy. Hoping to get a topping done this week, then another one next week, and be ready to flip to flower by week 7 or so. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Week 6 and still veg, they are knocking on Flowering's door but not there yet. Happy with growth and between the Coco Tek and the weekly foliar (just for good measure) no problems. Water slowly rising but keeping nuets reasonable. Increasing the bloom nuet ratio slightly as when it does go its gonna want lots of PK Side note: Cant really drop the new FFT-7/5 seeds till these go into flower (never seen it go this long) and I can move them under the HPS so... good and bad. 12/21 New pics hope they are better 12/22 Beginning to transition into flower now, colas beginning to form, so half and half on the nuets. Time for the last Kangaroots drench to get those roots as large as possible. 10ml with feeding at lights on tonight Ripley went into the Flowering tent as they just need more room, think it will be ok as Ripley could use some stretch, Tara remains in veg tent until Stardawg final harvest. 12/23 pics 12/24 All is good but think I am going to continue reducing the nuets 10% and checking EC of runoff as still getting some small issues on leaf tips. Maybe I am chasing ghosts we will see 12/25 White tip under control, tested runoff at 1450 adjusted out and 700 adjusted in, within limits Last day in veg tent for Belle, she joins the Flowering tent after Stardawg harvest. Water needs increasing steadily, up to almost 3 quarts/ feed for good runoff. Good sign the roots took to the Kangaroots drench well.
