After three weeks in the solo cups I transplanted to 1 gallon pots and three days later I noticed yellowing on one of the plants so in 16oz of water I mixed in 1/4 tsp of Epsom salt and gave it to both plants in fear of magnesium deficiency but the other plant is thriving and growing strong.

Graduated, and am off from work for a few weeks, so went overboard on photos. Plant is doing well, leaves are starting to turn yellow (strain trait). Can't wait for the harvest and being able legally gift my xmas ornaments to my cousins during our "cousins walk" at our family xmas party.

🍋🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 6 From Seed (Week 2 Flower · 12/12 From Seed) Hello everyone 👋 Quick recap and a warm welcome to anyone joining the diary now, here’s where we are and how we got here. 🌱 From Seed to Now, Quick Context These Lemon Cherry Gelato girls have been grown 12/12 from seed, and we are now entering what we consider Week 2 of flower / transition. Pre-flowers are clearly visible, stacking has begun, and the stretch is now turning into early bulk. They are in that beautiful in-between phase where they still look slightly vegetative, but their behavior is unmistakably flowering. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% It’s still a bit cold outside, but as plant mass increases, lighting intensity goes up, and under-canopy lighting is added, the tent itself has become a stronger heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions without forcing anything, exactly how we like it. • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm • Airflow: unchanged • vortex extraction • cross-winds with multiple fans • constant, gentle movement across the canopy ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. The reason is simple: as flowering progresses, plants shift their nutrient uptake priorities, and slightly higher pH improves availability of key elements needed for bloom development. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml / L • Removed: Terra Grow This change is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. There’s no rush, no shock, just following the plant’s signals. The current recipe (our “Plagron” approach) continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Plant Handling We are continuing with a very minimal-stress approach: • No topping • No aggressive defoliation • Only leaf bending and leaf tucking This method keeps the structure open, exposes bud sites naturally, and avoids recovery downtime. Simple, effective, and extremely practical, sometimes simplicity isn’t laziness, it’s efficiency. The results speak for themselves: • strong branching • compact “ball” formations • clean stacking • healthy color fade beginning naturally ⸻ 📸 Visual Progress This update includes a large set of photos (studio + tent shots) to clearly show: • the transition phase • stretch turning into bulk • visible growth differences over just one week Every time the tent doors open, growth is noticeable, and comparing earlier photos to the latest ones makes that even clearer. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Over the coming weeks: • stretch will gradually slow • bulk and stacking will take over • plant handling will be reduced even further • stability becomes the priority What not to expect: • heavy pruning • forced corrections • unnecessary interventions At this stage, the goal is to let the plants do what they already know how to do. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Big thank you to: • everyone following along • newcomers and long-time readers • supporters, critics, observers, all welcome • the Grow Diaries Team and platform • and all sponsors backing the journey This is a key week in the run, and we’re excited to document it properly and share the learning with the community.

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.

🍀Estuvo bien en toda su etapa, no tuve ningún problema. Los resultados fueron muy buenos, se encuentra muy resinosa y con aroma a dulce. 🍀En total saque 143g de una sola planta. 🍀En total estuvo 105 días de vida desde su germinación. 🍀Recomiendo esta genética, por el momento son cocos Premium, ya quiero probarlo para saber que sabor tiene. 🍀Ahora se encuentra en etapa de secado, cuando ya estén para la etapa de curado subiré más imágenes. 🍀🇦🇷Podes seguirme en Instagram como @bruweed_arg🍀🇦🇷

19.07.21 Moin liebe grower Gemeinde hab gestern (Sonntag 18.07.21) die ersten 3 Ladys wieder getoppt und endblättert danach habe ich alle 4 Äste, (bei jeder Lady) versucht auf eine hohe aus zu richten was ganz gut geklappt hat.mir is aufgefallen das alle Ladys gleichmäßige nodien produzieren bis auf purps OG Nr. 3 die hat an einem Ast tatsächlich 4 neue auf einem Haufen wie auf dem Bild zu sehen ist ich gehe Mal davon aus das es durch den Stress verursacht wurde vom toppen,denke Mal das solche Anomalien normal sind und werde den Spass weiter beobachten hab wieder was zum lernen gefunden 😎😎😎😎😎 Mal sehen wie sich das ganze entwickelt denke Mal das ich Mittwoch oder Donnerstag Lady nr.4 in ihren endtopf setzen werde und dann auch gleich weiter Main Laining an den ersten 3 weiter führe. Ach ja zu den 3 Stecklingen in der Mitte habe vor sie die Tage nach draussen zu setzen ich weiss ist ziemlich spät dafür aber ich liebe Experimente, bis die Tage und euch, die alle bald ernten und auf dem Weg dorthin sind wünsch ich ne reichlich Fette Ernte mit glitzernden disco Kugeln🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺😁😁😁😁😁 22.07.21 habe gestern die ersten 3 Tomaten Ringe gebaut sind jeweils 5x35 cm Zaundraht die ich eingedreht habe (also sozusagen eine Öse), habe dann alles nochmal auf gleiche länge geschnitten und mir ein langes Stück Draht ca anderthalb Topfumrandungen lang. Stäbe am Topfrand verteilen wie sie ca stehen sollen und dann den Draht einfädeln und zum Schluss überstehendes mit Kabelbindern (Strapse) fest zurren ezzzz. jetzt stehen die Stäbe ca 14 cm über dem Topfrand. Drückt mir die Daumen das alles so klappt wie ich mir das vorstelle is das erste Mal das ich mit dem Tomaten Ring arbeite. Zu purps OG Nr. 4 die ist heute in ihren endtopf um gezogen, werde Sonntag dort dann auch auf 8 Äste toppen und danach den Tomaten Ring einbauen euch allen noch ne Ernte reiche Woche

On day 1 the reservoirs PH is 6.3. The rez is 483 ppm. The girls are looking good and nitrogen toxicity seems to have stopped. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.1 to 6.3. The rez is 477 ppm. Trichomes seem to be 10% cloudy so I still have a bit to go i'm thinking 9 weeks should be a good bet! On day 3 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.1. The rez is 500 ppm. On day 4 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 503 ppm. I lowered the ppfd so my tallest received 900 ppfd and an average of 543 ppfd. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 519 ppm. I removed some of the extra fan leaves blocking bud sites. On day 6 I changed out the reservoir with only tap water and adjusted the PH from 6.7 to 6.1 with a ppm of 249. The trichomes are maturing and I plan on harvesting on week 8 day 4 of flower. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.5 to 6.0. The rez ppm is 250.

So nun endlich wieder Zeit gefunden um die 8. Woche hier einzupflegen. Ist schon paar Tage her. Auffällig ist das die OG Kush ziemlich lang braucht um in die Blüte zu gehen, da haben die anderen sich mehr beeilt. Die Zkittly zeigt das sie ein ein ordentlicher Sativa Pheno ist. Ansonsten super gesund, immer noch kein gelbes Blatt in sicht.

17.12 F47 I am definitely thinking I mixed up the seeds now. The 2 in the airpots are now likely to be the same strain and I'm guessing royal gorilla because of the purpleing. The 2 in the fabric pots must be cookies gelato. They are taller, greener and way thicker stems. If anyone could chime in and help me out identifying the two strains that would be appreciated 🤦‍♂️ Still no nutes given. Under 12 hours of spiderfarmer light 19.12 Day 49 Noticed some odd (or not) deformeties on the 2 (what I believe to be after the potential mixup) cookies gelato....

Did some defoliation, they grow fast and bushy since switched to flowering and increased bloom, happy with the results and the strain so far.
