29/08/18 - A wee bit of light burn(Bleaching) on tips of girl #1 and #2, girl #3 is abit smaller than the others but that should change once my new light arrives next week, also got some terpinator arriving on Saturday so I’ll update then ✌️🏻 02/09/18 - unfortunately my terpinator dident arrive yesterday still a unknown ETA on that but the good news is my mars hydro 192 reflector is arriving tomorrow. 03/09/18 - new light hanging up great had to tie some of the stems to my tent post to keep them at 16” distance, still no terpinator which is guttin I’m hoping it arrives tomorrow, also got some big bud coco in the post aswell. ✌️🏻

Curling is still a problem still :( A rainy week so high humidity all around... looking tasty though! Buds are getting bigger and sticker!

🌸 BlueBerry — Week 8 Flower | Shining Toward the Finish Line Here we are, my dear readers — Week 8 of flower. The room feels magical. Our BlueBerry girls, both phenos, are in their full glory — dense, fragrant, and sparkling with resin. From seed to now, it’s been a journey of patience, learning, and pure joy. The final stretch has begun, and you can feel it in the air — harvest is not far away, maybe one or two weeks more. ✨ The Girls Both BlueBerry #1 and BlueBerry #2 are magnificent. Thick colas stacking from top to bottom, glistening with frost under the lights. The pistils are slowly turning color, and the aroma is deep, sweet, and nostalgic — that unmistakable BlueBerry essence that makes this classic a legend. The trichomes are swelling beautifully, and bud density is impressive. The girls are holding up thanks to the yo-yos — these branches are heavy, bending under the weight of their own success. ⚙️ The Gear This week, let’s give a shout-out to the gear making this symphony possible: 💡 Lighting Setup We are running a mix of powerhouses — the ThinkGrow Model One and the ICL 300 inner canopy lights. Together, they create a perfect, even spread — deep canopy penetration from the ICLs and full-spectrum brilliance from the top lights. The inner canopy lighting has really proven its worth, driving light deep into the plant’s heart and boosting bud formation all the way down. 🌬️ Airflow & Extraction Two 6-inch extractors keep the air moving — one AeroFan, the other Spider Farmer, both with carbon filters for clean, fresh air. The Spider Farmer extractor runs through its own GGS controller, while the AeroFan is perfectly synced with the TrolMaster Tent-X system, ensuring ideal airflow at all times. 🎥 Monitoring & Control Our guardian eye — the TrolMaster camera — keeps a close watch, allowing remote monitoring of the girls in real time. The entire ecosystem (lights, fans, sensors, and camera) is fully integrated, giving us control and data precision from anywhere. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Temperatures stay warm — around 29°C — while humidity fluctuates around 55–60%. It’s hot, yes, but the airflow and light balance keep things steady enough for the girls to thrive. We’re continuing with our nutrient mix featuring Aptus Holland and Plagron products. The recipe is fine-tuned now — the balance between power and gentleness, giving the plants the final push to perfect those trichomes and terpene profiles. 💧 What’s Next As we near the finish line, we’re watching closely: • Trichome maturity is the main focus now — we’re waiting for that milky-to-amber dance. • Flushing is coming soon, preparing the soil and the plants for a clean, flavorful harvest. • Aroma intensifies daily — the room feels alive, sweet, fruity, and full of promise. 💙 Gratitude & Reflection From germination with The Cannakan method, through every transplant, every tweak, every experiment — it’s been a story of care and curiosity. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for these legendary genetics, to Aptus Holland and Plagron for their nutrient support, and to TrolMaster, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Spider Farmer, and AeroFan for helping make this environment as close to perfect as we can dream. And of course — thank you to everyone reading, supporting, learning, and growing with us. The haters, the lovers, the curious souls — all of you are part of this. 🌍💚 🌸 What to Expect (and Not) Expect swelling buds, deeper aromas, and trichomes that’ll make your camera cry tears of joy.

Moved the trellis higher to get some light in. Buds seem a little small. I think I flowered it too soon. Looks healthy. Smells sweat and creamy.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

7/26 can't believe my old pump tested at 1 watt!! when advertised for 5 gal tank, anyways upgraded to 4 watt, keeping the inch between basket and water, flower nutrients dyed everything brown, res ppm stays around 600-700 lower temps 80-90 degrees ph 5 doing a lot of tucking of fan leaves, some stalks are stretching higher then others, adjusting light as needed, keeping light around 12 inches from canopy 7/30 lots of new growth, having to refill res 2-3 times a week about

So, this is my first grow, just starting out. After NJ passed recreational weed, I was like you know what... Went on an amazon spending spree and got some seeds from cropkingseeds and this is it! I let the seeds soak for 18hr in deer park spring water w/ 1 drop of Organic Liquid Seaweed and Kelp Fertilizer Supplement by Bloom City. At the end of soakage, it didn't look like any had cracked maybe one did not so sure. So I did up the papertowels according to the video and have to say I feel a little nervous/anxious that there is too much water/weight on the seeds and feer drownage. I'm going to keep it on there though. I check the towels a few times throughout the day and am surprised they're very moist throughout the day and next morning still somewhat damp. 24 hours in the towels I check my babies and one had cracked but the rest were still sealed up tight, unwilling to share the goodness that we all so desire, cmon babies crack that shell for papa! 11/12 looked like 1 seed popped, yay! I remoistened towels a bit but didn't wanna soak them. I also put some rapid rooters in water to soak overnight gunna throw the seeds in them in AM... I was going to do it tonight but figured I should wait see if some pop out more. 11/13 OMG upon checking seeds at 07:10 I found the papertowels like bone dry OMG WTF!!! Panic sets in but I just set up the little terrarium with 6 plugs and put the seeds in and tore some plugs off bottom of a plug to cover seedhole with. 11/14 Got a sprout! YES!! The plugs look nice and moist just going to let it go! 11/15 Woke up this mornin, saw a new sprout peeking thru and then another about to! I got ansy and took off the little top plugs and found all the sprouts were coming up! Leaving the top plug off, hopefully thats not a bad idea.

These girls are packin! The most satisfying part of a grow for me is to see the fruits of my labour blossom into plump nuggets of dank joy! They are reacting to the flush in typical fashion. Phosphorus is running out of the fat indica fingers, creating a purple hue. The pheno on the left is a week ahead of the right side plant. At least. I could even see it going longer. Very excited for the range of effects in regards to sativa/indica ratio. A few amber trichromes here and there but the majority are developing a haze that will lead to the results seeking. Soon. We are almost there.

05/22/24. Going into week 3 flower Everything seems to be going pretty good so far. Finally got a bit of stretch and definitely have some bud formation. As things are still so freaking dark with these ladies leaves I am still not giving a feeding. Have given them water with silica and calmag when things seem dry. Plant 1 seems much more leafy and with many more bud sites than plant 2. Most of plant 2’s growth has not made it up to the trellis sadly. I will be doing some cleaning up of the stuff underneath the trellis and some selective defoliation today or tomorrow. Lights now about 75% at about 20 inches up. Temperature has been 73-82 with around 50% humidity. I think I covered everything for now. Thanks for lookin

This week went pretty well. She stretched another 8 inches and is up to 48" even though I am not feeding her any veg nutrients, and I am really hoping she is ready to chill out because I have the lights D-Ringed to the roof of the tent, I had to remove the pulleys from them because they took too much room. I also added another 100 watt Spider Farmer and a 150 watt mars hydro to the mix, so I am running 4 lights at 790 Watts total for this plant. I am between 65K and 75K lumens for the entire canopy, and i have 150 watts coming in from underneath the canopy. I am also struggling with the humidity in the tent, even though I am able to maintain 45% RH outside the tent, I am having trouble keeping the tent below 60% RH and it is due to all the transpiration from her leaves, as well as the high frequency fertigation that I deploy, although all the runoff is outside the tent within 90 seconds of feeding, so not much I can do about either one. I know it doesn't look like I am defoliating her, but I have a trash bag almost full just from this plant. I purchased a small dehumidifier for inside the tent and it will be arriving tomorrow, so hopefully that takes care of my issues, as I don't want any moldy colas. Other than that just waiting for her to start stacking on some flowers. Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone had a great weekend, Be Safe and Blaze On!

Lil Nitrogen deficiency.

Ya estamos en proceso de formación de la flor. Se ven algunas más grandes que otras. Pero a grandes rasgos estan muy parejas. Me preocupa un poco la cercanía a la luz, dado que estoy en 15cm y cualquier estirón extra, sería una complicación. Vamos a ir viendo como se dan las cosas, pero al momento, no me puedo quejar. Las plantas se ven bien y saludables. Día 24. Se empieza a notar el engorde. Esperando a que aparezcan las hojas de azúcar, que ya se empiezan a visibilizar las primeras. Voy a ver si puedo conseguir overdrive de advanced para cuando se terminen de formar las flores. Entre tanto solamente tuve un inconveniente de pérdida de agua por una manguera que moví al atar las plantas, pero ya repuse la solución perdida y todo va encaminado. No sé si van a tardar las 6 semanas que dice el catálogo, pero cuanto mucho serán 8. Seguiré actualizando. Día 26. Las flores empiezan a yomar su forma voluminosa. Estoy en duda sobre si agregar PK la semana próxima o la otra. Quizá empiece a usarlo en el próximo depósito. No quiero tampoco sobrepasarlas y agregar el producto antes porque tengo entendido que puede ser contraproducente. De todos modos me quedan dos días para el cambio de solución, así que voy a ver cuando termine la semana. Entre tanto, ya empiezan las emociones. Día 28. Hice ina poda de hojas bien fuerte. Ya de esa forma dejo expuesto a la luz todo lo que tiene que terminar de engordar y de paso me esquivo posibles problemas de humedad. Al final voy a usar el PK de greenhouse que tengo, pero voy a subir la dosis. Mañana se viene el cambio de solución, para lo que sería la ante última semana en teoría. Vamos a ver como evoluciona, porque los cambios son muy abruptos de una semana a la otra. Y llegado el momento miraré los tricomas, como para ir haciéndome a la idea.

Get me out of this tiny tent! I'm like 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag.. and I got a funny feeling in my special parts. I just wanna bud repeatedly and rub pollen all over them. I got major blue buds and need to come to fruition asap.

Well these girls are ready to be harvested week 9 day 0 - total growing seed to harvest 63 days for sid frosty purple buds that are definitely packing weigh for such small plants , Growing these girls have been really super easy and as simple as watering , I did stress these girls out definitely, resulting in my stress creating the biggest plant at around week 4 a hermi and had to be removed this wasn't anything related to the strain or seedbank I do take full responsibility for the hermi . Colours around the top buds have lovely purples are green hues frosted in white resin , these are frosty 👌 , Okay these plants have grown that good I've ordered more for the next run to try these girls again as they amazing, Girls scout cookie's from @zamnesia have become my top 3 strains grown if this girl wins any awards it would become the second best in my growing time for convenience of growing for results of these type of dense indica nugs are bigger than golf balls and look amazing 👏 Using ripen and will harvest on day 63 , normally I grow my plants untill I think harvest time is due thoe I never chop early as I made this mistake once so bud devolpment is what I watch most the bottom buds must be firm and ripe not just the top buds as this is what leaves the popcorn crap , underdeveloped buds and absolutely a waste of time Moving to LED was harder than I though 😪 Watering mistakes and light intensity stunning growth of plant without question I lost alot of yeild but still gained enough to make it affordable and quite enjoyable. Will only start fading plants in there last week now I've done some of the girls way to early but learning is everything . Please like and follow I've 20 new plants starting this week One plant is super small but stacked some of the biggest nugs in the room with purples and greens frosted in white its grew fantastic The other grew naturally and would be great in a SOG 10 liters , big frosted nugs , literally waiting on the bottom finishing up and the buds becoming somewhat firmer and more ripened , no point cutting early at this point

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)

Been doing a lots of defoliation in this week(Especially on ETHOS-Lilac Diesel) and all the plant are looking great. Still waiting for the bloom fertilizer and then we will start flowering stage as soon as we received the fertilizers.
