Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

An here we are. At the end of another cycle. The end of another year, and what a year it was. For Sunshine and me personally, it was a tough year, with our families sick on multiple occasions, life-threatening. We are very thankful for many things but most of all that all our parents are healthy again. We wish your families are as fortunate in the coming year. So we end this Gorilla's life with a swift cut of the scissors, after thanking her again for the companionship, the well-needed distraction, and all the love she has given me already. I sometimes read that people won't go near their plants when they are angry or sad. Please do go to your plants when you are sad or angry! They are millions of years old. They have been healers of animals and humans since they were around. Our emotions can not taint something so pure as the spirit of this plant. She will heal us, give her life for us, sacrifice herself for our healing. She is all-powerful and all-knowing, there is nothing we mere humans can do, except disrespect her powers. Bask in her glowing light, enjoy her soothing energy, her creative spark when you are in need of love, just don't smoke her at that time, for she will soothe you bit not give her treasures, she will seduce you. Next to thanking Santa Maria for her healing, we would like to thank our friends here, all who shared their kind words, advice, and attention. I had made a video to share my thanks on video, but every time I got very emotional. You guys have no idea how tough this year was. The gorilla is real easy to clean and sticky and cristally. Its amazingly great to smoke! So a special thanks to: @Sailormoonflowers for being a buddy to talk to, @JamMAKEcan for being there with ideas and always a lot of love, @Roberts for being an inspiration @Cannabeast and @LegendarySeedThumb for always checking out my grows, to all who I forgot who are always here to greet me! @Growdiaries for being an awesome site and community and last but not least: @MarsHydroLED for letting us try their SP-3000. VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX We wish all of you freedom, love, happiness, but also the awareness to see many of us are still being repressed, with growing but also with our human rights. Jah jah gave us life to live, so let us live brothers! It is time the rastaman made a plan! We are 99% loving people on this planet, we need no 1% to fuck it up with wars and strife. We need to stop cooperating, peacefully resist. If you can buy local, ban exploiting multinationals. Help your local businesses, help your neighbors, we need to wake up and stop funding this black stain on our planet. Sell your stock in multinationals, invest in local businesses. Buy local products, speak out when you get taxed higher than millionaires (and you are). The day is coming my brothers and sisters. Soon a handful of CEO's will find out when billions are done with them. For now thanks for everything!

An Größenwachstum ist kaum etwas dazu gekommen. Dafür entwickeln sich die Blüten prächtig und der Geruch ist ein Traum, superintensiv nach Limette.

Frozen Black Cherry – Week 5 of Flowering The Frozen Black Cherry is now 4 weeks into flowering and looking fantastic! 🌿🔥 The stretch was minimal, only around 10-15%, but still enough to provide good spacing between the buds for optimal airflow and development. One thing I've really noticed with growing in soil is the difference in aroma and terpene profile—it’s definitely standing out more compared to hydro. Can’t wait to see how it develops further! 💨🍒 Make sure to like & follow so you don’t miss any updates! 😎 --- Frozen Black Cherry – Blüte Woche 5 Die Frozen Black Cherry ist jetzt seit 4 Wochen in der Blüte und sieht einfach großartig aus! 🌿🔥 Der Stretch war minimal, gerade mal 10-15%, aber trotzdem genau richtig, um genug Abstand zwischen den Blüten zu gewährleisten. Was mir besonders auffällt: In Erde angebaut, zeigt sich das Terpenprofil deutlich stärker als in Hydro! Der Duft kommt jetzt richtig durch—ich bin gespannt, wie sich das weiterentwickelt. 💨🍒 Vergesst nicht zu liken & folgen, um nichts zu verpassen! 😎

Saw some excellent lateral growth from their branches in the last week. Been removing fan leaves from main stem to allow meristems to grow more. I was using kelp in a foliar to induce apical dominance but have since removed it from the girl's regimin with the hopes of flowering beginning soon.

🌱 Week 2: Mutant Magic in Full Swing! 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! Another week, another step forward in the adventure with these Mentha de Croco beauties. Week 2 has been nothing short of fascinating—the variety in leaf shapes is absolutely mesmerizing. These tiny mutants are already showing their unique personality, and I’m loving every second of watching them grow! 🌿✨ Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key The setup remains the same as last week, keeping these little ones in the perfect environment to thrive: • Temperature: Stable, warm conditions for steady growth. • Humidity: Maintaining high RH ensures they’re still enjoying tropical vibes as their root systems develop. • Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to deliver just the right amount of light to keep the plants growing compact and strong. Nutrition: Introducing the Organic-Mineral Boost 🌿 This week, I started feeding the plants with the incredible Aptus Holland organic-mineral line. It’s been a game-changer, and here’s why I love it: What’s Organic-Mineral Nutrition? • Combines the benefits of organic matter (microbial health and soil vitality) with the efficiency of mineral nutrients (direct uptake by plants). • Supports balanced, steady growth while boosting plant resilience. This Week’s Feeding Schedule: • Regulator (0.15 ml/L): A silica-based product that strengthens plant structure and helps regulate stress, ensuring the plants stay strong and sturdy. • CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L): Calcium and magnesium are essential for cell wall development and chlorophyll production, supporting lush, vibrant growth. • All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L): A comprehensive blend that delivers all the essential nutrients in one easy feed, perfect for these little mutants finding their stride. • Start Booster (0.25 ml/L): Packed with root-stimulating microbes and nutrients, this product ensures strong root development and prepares the plants for explosive growth in the coming weeks. Why Aptus? I’ve been a huge fan of Aptus Holland because their line truly focuses on building strong, healthy plants from the ground up. The results speak for themselves—happy plants, explosive growth, and vibrant health at every stage. true believer here and way before being sponsored by them . Mutant Leaf Love: Celebrating the Unique 🌿 The highlight of this week has to be the unique leaf patterns these plants are developing. Each one seems to have its own story to tell—serrated edges, funky symmetry, and a whole spectrum of textures. They’re tiny but mighty, and it’s so exciting to see the potential of these genetics from Terpyz Mutant Genetics come to life. Mutants always bring surprises, and it’s a beautiful reminder that diversity is what makes this journey so rewarding. Reflections & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡 💚 Feed Lightly, Grow Strong: For young plants, keep your feed gentle to avoid overloading them. Start slow and adjust as they grow. 🌱 Celebrate Differences: Each plant will grow at its own pace, and unique traits are part of the magic. Patience is key! 💧 Stay Consistent: The foundation you build in these early weeks sets the tone for the entire grow. Stable conditions = happy plants. Shoutouts & Grower’s Love 💚 Big thank you to @Terpyz Genetics for these funky mutant seeds, @Aptus Holland for their stellar nutrition lineup, @Future of Grow for the lighting that keeps these beauties thriving, @Pro Mix Soil for the best one i have encountered so far and @Grow Diaries for being an amazing platform to share this journey. And a HUGE shoutout to all of you—followers, growers, or just curious passersby! Your love, support, and shared passion for growing make this experience truly special. Stay tuned for more mutant magic in Week 3.

Venga familia, cosecha de estas Thunder Banana de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, prietas, aparte son aromáticas huelen bien fuerte. En general es una genética con la que disfruté bastante cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para cultivos de floración corta con rangos entre los 20/25 grados en interior, es de dificultad media cultivarla y bien resistente, es excelente para cultivadores algo experimentados y con algo de conocimientos. Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.
