Hello all! I hope y'all doing well. Happy new year! Im trying to make good videos and pictures but the site can't handle too much quality...so it is what it is. Anyway Today we are closing the second week of flowering. This week went on quite easy, the plant is growing as expected. Couple of days ago I applied some extra defoliation to the little Titan, just 2 leaves, nothing too special. The plant is responding well to the various treatments and techniques, even from a newbie like me. Also do you remember about the broken branch? The plant fully recovered that within 2 weeks. I am super happy and satisfied, is even having two bud sites on it. Not bad huh ? Two days ago the plant got 1.5 L of water with nutrients, the final pH of the water was 6.2. Im happy that finally I overcome the soil pH issue, was way too low. The pot didn't drain any water after the watering. Next time I will step up a little bit, maybe 2 liters, maybe not. We will see. The flowering is finally going "full speed", I can see the flowers growing day by day. Also the smell got much more intense right now, maybe since a week. I can definitely feel it, it has a very distinguished smell, a little bit of mango or papaya in the back notes when you smell it. Also the plant is becoming more frosty and a lot of little crystals are forming here and there. Gotta love it man! I will catch you guys next week for another update! See yaa

Hello guys ! I'm back finally ! couldn't update my diares for weeks :'( What happened during this time ? A LOT ! we have now switched into flowering stage and the plant already start her flowering stretch. She wom almost 5 CM on all colas and I think she will keep going for another week. Usualy the flowering stretch take around 2weeks. She also start to drink much more than during her veg stage of course. Now it's around 1L every 24hrs. Hope you like it. Take care

Started intense stress training by bending the main stems below the canopy line. She has stopped smelling completely which is a good sign the flowering has flipped nicely!

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 6 Report Early–Mid Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Timing clarification (as always): This is logged as Week 6 on GrowDiaries, while in real plant development we are closer to Week 5 of vegetative growth. The offset comes from an early, photo-heavy germination phase. We’ll continue clarifying this weekly for consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Divergence & Character This week, the Nectar Drip really began to separate into personalities. Same genetics, same room, same feeding — but very different expressions depending on training intensity and structure guidance. We’re now clearly working with multiple plant strategies inside the same tent. ⸻ ✂️ Training Breakdown – Plant by Plant 🌿 Plant A – Leaf Work & Gentle Guidance This plant is trained using leaf bending and leaf tucking only. • Large fan leaves are tucked under neighboring leaves • Growth tips are exposed naturally • No clamps or hard bending Response: Absolutely thriving. She’s growing tall, wide, and fast, now reaching roughly 8–9 nodes, with beautiful branching and strong vertical momentum. This is a great example of how far simple leaf management can take a healthy plant. ⸻ 🌿 Plant B – Aggressive Opening with Plastic Clamps This plant started similarly to Plant A, but quickly outpaced the rest in size. This week, we: • Introduced plastic clamps • Opened her aggressively • Focused on redistributing energy from top dominance to lower branches Response: Outstanding. She accepted the harder intervention without stress, opened up beautifully, and continues to push growth across the canopy. Her size advantage is now being converted into structure, not just height. ⸻ 🌿 Plant C – The Heavy LST Experiment This is the plant we’ve been focusing on since last week — the smallest of the group, but the one receiving the most intensive training. • Strong horizontal bending • Continuous opening of leaves • Structural redirection from early on Response: She’s thickening, branching, and responding incredibly well. While she is still behind in height (which is expected), she’s building a dense, intentional structure. This plant is also the most delayed in showing pre-flower signs, which is completely normal under 12/12 from seed when subjected to stronger training. She may never be the tallest — but she is quickly becoming one of the most interesting. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals Some plants are now showing early pre-flower signs. Nothing dramatic yet, but the transition is clearly approaching. As expected: • The most heavily trained plant is the most delayed • The more upright plants are moving faster This confirms that structure and stress management play a significant role in timing under a 12/12-from-seed regimen. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Weather-Driven Adjustments This week brought real-world challenges. Outside conditions: • ~5 °C • 92% relative humidity Inside the tent: • Temperature: ~21.8 °C • Relative Humidity: ~58% Despite cooler and more humid ambient conditions, the plants are showing no complaints whatsoever. This range is manageable, and the canopy looks relaxed and happy. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Letting Plants Decide We are now running approximately 700–850 PPFD, depending on plant height and canopy position. Smaller plants receive less, taller ones naturally receive more. This is intentional. The plants are: • growing into the light • dictating their own intensity • transitioning naturally toward flowering I’m not pushing — I’m responding. This run is about listening, especially under 12/12 from seed. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow – Vortex Method Airflow is dialed in using a vortex-style circulation: • Fresh air enters from below • Warm air exits higher up • Side fans encourage circular movement • Central fans gently disrupt stagnation without collapsing the vortex This creates: • even temperature distribution • stable humidity • strong gas exchange • minimal microclimates Air is moving around the plants, not blasting them — exactly what we want at this stage. ⸻ Nutrition – Adjustment for Water Quality & LEDs 💧 Water Source We are now using a mix of: • rainwater • dehumidifier-collected water Starting EC is extremely low (~0.2), so supplementation became necessary. CalMag Introduction We introduced Plagron CalMag Pro at 1 ml/L as a preventive measure, especially important under high-intensity LED lighting, where calcium and magnesium demand increases. Current Hand-Watering Parameters (Nectar Drip Plants) • EC: ~2.29 • pH: ~6.0 • Water Temperature: ~22.8 °C 🚰 Reservoir / Autopot Clarification The tent contains six plants total, not all Nectar Drip. • Autopot reservoir currently runs Terra Grow + CalMag only • Organic inputs are excluded from the reservoir (not compatible) • Reservoir EC: ~1.43 • Reservoir pH: ~5.9 Autopot plants are occasionally top-fed by hand to receive the full recipe. For future runs, the feeding strategy will be simplified and better aligned with autopot systems. ⸻ Special Guest – Mr. Baggy Joins the Team This week we were joined by Mr. Baggy, a fluffy inspector and proud GrowDiaries “Diary of the Month” prize winner. He’ll be making more appearances from now on — every good grow needs an official supervisor. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • more pronounced pre-flower expression • increasing structural differences • trained plants staying shorter and wider • untrained plants stretching sooner Don’t Expect: • uniform behavior • identical flowering times • forced transitions This run is about letting plants speak. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow • Lumiflora And to the entire GrowDiaries community — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience, philosophy, lessons, and mistakes. The goal is learning — together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 6 Summary • Training is defining structure • Plants are choosing their own rhythm • Light intensity is earned, not forced • Environment is stable despite harsh outside conditions • The 12/12-from-seed experiment continues to teach A lot of files. A lot of data. A lot of learning. And we’re just getting started. Growers love always 💚 Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

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.

So today is the day i switch my plants to flowering lights schedule and flowering nutes, started with 1/4 the recommended dosage and will gradually up them, only boosters i left at recommended values. Ppm is 800. Next will be 1000, then 1200 and maybe 1400. I plan to flush on days 16, 28, 35 and 42 of flowering, leave them to dry for 4-5 days so roots will oxygenize and help to stack more dense buds, and then add nutes. I plan to do the final flush for last 2 weeks with flawless finish. You can see some before and after training photos and videos from today, defoliated some leaves and LST-ing branches, spreading them out last time so light can reach smaller branches, after all she got some more stretching to do and its why i left sensi grow with more Nitrogen. I spent a lot of time training them now, hopefully it will pay out with massive buds :) Stay tuned and bye bye, as always i am opened to every grower here, i will help and share advices with everyone, i love to exchange opinions in order to come to your own conclusion, people who talked to me so far already know that..

Typical Green Crack harvest, lot of leaves but easy otherwise Lack of tent space really hurt her yield, guessing 25% less due to it Dry weight for Plenty 322 grams nice easy final trim rock hard nugs Two clones follow The clones nearly identical both weigh in at 710 grams wet in dry yield later Clones yielded 287 grams dry

Every 5± days from week 5 I suppose I get rid of below leaves and big fan leaves,which don't let the light get to the bottom buds,as was recommended in comments. They react good on that kind of stress and the bottom buds started developing too. Despite the high temperature( 28-30 degrees) they keep on growing and forming buds,happily.

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Big Demon W4V4 6/29-7/5 6/29 2 liters water ph 6.1, ppm 242, 69.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. 7/2 2 liters ph water 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. I’m giving ph water for this grow unless deficiencies are noted since Supersoil is in my base mix and will be adding Green Sensation during flower, Big demon is one mass of close stacks. I determined she had 5 or 6 closely stacked nodes so I topped her and applied manuka honey to the wound. After topping she is 3.5 inches tall and very bushy. Come on stretch show me some node spacing. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿o I topped her. 💫Natrona💫

9/7/2021-at the end of the cycle I thought that the flowers get bigger .. nothing to say about the quantity. a strong smell reminiscent of something sweet. the buds are hard and coated with glue. I am washing the roots. ready to harvest up to 2 days again and then cut. Sorry for me traslate 😅

This was my first grow, and I will not grow again during long time due to difficulties. But I will retry as soon as I can. This grow was very instructive for me, I learned a lot of informations about cannabis growing and now I think I can do better rendement by preventing somes errors. I tried to smoke it after 5 days of dry in the box with extractor (and sometime water glass), and she got a nice back flavour and good effect 😄

Wie erwartet konnte ich nach meinem Urlaub am Ende der 9ten Woche die LCC ernten. Den besten Erntezeitpunkt habe ich durch den Urlaub leider verpasst aber da ich die beruhigende Wirkung bevorzuge ist dies nicht so schlimm für mich. Nass wog die kleine 128g und sie trocknet grade im Zelt vor sich hin. Ich peile ca. 10 Tage Trocknungszeit an. Trockengewicht, Bilder der Blüten und Rauchbericht folgen noch.
