I did a heavy defoliation with the green crack for the first time.. the first 3 pics are pre- and the last 3 pics are post-defoliation. Definitely better air flow now as well as more "tops" being seen. Tomorrow going to do the durban.. update w more pics then.

Hola, van como un tiro se están formando los cogollos a buen ritmo, he realizado una pulverización con leaf coat, ya no pulverizaré más este cultivo, como preventivo contra plagas y hongos, crea una pelicula que impide al bichito morder la planta, la climatologia exterior ha influido esta semana a sido un bajar y subir de todo, tanto temperatura como humedad, pero he conseguido mantener unos parámetros aceptables

July 4th - safely into week 7. Solid growth and development to this point. Lets see how she stands up now that the pattern is laid-out - last fed on the 30th; 1gal - next meal is from the Water part of the food cycle; nute - nute - water - amended the soil with 2” Worm Castings, scratched it in to the soils surface - pulled a set of leaves off of each branch, exposing the middle nodes. New growth on each branch. Here we go! July 5th - rain has fallen, and the plant was partially protected. Wait and see if it has affected tonights Dinner. We are in the water portion of the Meal cycle; Nute-Nute-Water. Posted above - compost is ready after months. Leaf / Soil mix added to the pot at dark. July 7 - fed 1 gal of a Grow Microbe, Enzyme and Molasses-based dinner. Full list of ingredients Posted above - this week is proving to be instrumental in Establishing the shape and kicking the growth into Gear !!! Chunky dinner had to be diluted… lol grow buddy grow - someone asked about the LST techniques I use: wire, branch bending etc. Inposted 2 quik videos on how the Cali Crasher had acquired and held those curves 9th - I saw an opportunity to make one more similar move on the plant, with the same style of LST training. Once again I extended the 6 upward facing branches, straight outward; first thing this morning. 10th - fed 2.5 Litres of Nute cycle. With Grow Microbes oops, looks like we make the water-meal, Next

Structured Defoliation & Light Redistribution GMO Cookies — Week 7 From Seed (12/12 From Seed) ( Week 2 Flower, kind a because this run is 12/12 from seed, developmental phases overlap. While we are in Week 7 from seed, flower morphology places these plants approximately in Week 2–3 of true flower formation.) ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was flipped 12/12 from seed. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Only: • Strategic leaf bending • Gentle positioning • Natural apical development • Controlled mineral feeding through the AutoPot system • Occasional top-feed inputs when needed We let the plants express themselves first. That decision matters. Because what you’re seeing now — the uniform tops, the consistent structure, the even canopy rhythm — is the result of restraint early on. No panic training. No overcorrection. Just guidance. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, deliberately, we changed nothing. • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • LED lighting (multi-layer + under-canopy support) Some growers see 28 °C in flower and panic. But context matters. Under LED lighting: • Leaf surface temp runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient • There is no heavy infrared load like under HPS • Transpiration behaves differently So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% Leaf-level VPD sits in a comfortable early-flower range. We do not calculate room VPD in isolation. We observe plant behavior. And the plants confirm stability: • Upright posture • No tacoing • No clawing • Strong internode spacing • Healthy green without tip burn We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. That’s different. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Why EC 2.4 Is Intentional These GMO Cookies are evolving fast. At Week 2 flower, they are: • Stretching • Building structural mass • Initiating bud sites • Increasing water consumption EC 2.4 is not a random number. It matches: • Growth speed • AutoPot constant availability • Mineral shuttle stability • Transpiration rate under LED Because AutoPots provide continuous feed, the goal isn’t spikes — it’s consistency. No dramatic increases. No sudden drops. Just stable availability. That’s why we did not change anything this week. When plants are stable, changing variables creates instability. ⸻ Defoliation — Controlled Intervention, Not Reaction This update follows the exact chronological order of the session. Before defoliation, we observed: • Mid-canopy density • Lower airflow restriction • Interior shading • Competing secondary growth The intervention focused on: • Removing obstructive fan leaves • Cleaning lower interior branches (lollipopping) • Improving air channels • Increasing light penetration • Prioritizing top flower sites No stripping. No shock. Just structure correction. ⸻ 🔥 Under-Canopy Light Marks — Addressed Transparently Minor leaf surface damage was observed on some lower leaves. Important distinction: This is not nutrient burn. This is not systemic stress. These were: • Localized photon exposure spots • Leaves positioned too close to under-canopy diodes • Surface-level tissue damage Cosmetic. Monitored. Adjusted. Under-canopy lighting increases lower bud potential — but placement must be respected. This is part of dialing in layered LED systems. We document it openly. Because transparency builds trust. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Plants Look So Uniform Three plants. Very similar rhythm. Why? • Stable feeding • Stable environment • No high-stress events • Even canopy exposure • Gentle early leaf positioning instead of hard training Consistency early → uniformity later. This is not luck. It’s controlled inputs. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Stretch slowing down • Clear bud stacking beginning • Pistil density increasing • Water consumption rising • Slight increase in aroma intensity You should NOT expect: • Massive swelling yet • Heavy frost development • Final bud density We are still in structural flower. GMO builds weight slightly later. Patience is part of the architecture. ⸻ 🧠 The Philosophy Behind This Week When everything is stable: Do not interfere. Many growers change parameters weekly just to feel active. But cultivation is not about constant movement. It’s about: Observation → Understanding → Adjustment only when required. This week required observation. Not correction. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries platform — thank you for the space to document honestly.

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.

July 13: perfect cannabis weather after last week’s heat wave. Another heat wave next week, but for now it’s perfect. Added a third scrog layer and tied it off to some water bottles. This type of scrogging works, is easy, cheap, and it’s easy to still move the plant around the yard as needed. July 14: re-did the scrog net using a larger piece with more squares. Supercropped some ends to keep the growth tips at the same elevation. We’ll see how many colas I can make of this. July 16: looks happy enough but I need to up the water volume in this heat. July 18: really hot the last few days (33 C) so lots of watering and misting to keep them a bit cooler. Look really green and robust. 👍👍 Also wetting outside of grow bags to get some evaporative cooling for the soil. Added malted barley and Power Bloom to some soil and added it as a soil layer. Added plain soil on the top to deter birds from stealing the barley kernels. A bit less than 1 tbsp of Power Bloom per 1 gallon of soil with a bit more than 1 tbsp of malted barley per gallon of soil. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

9/22 - Since all the ladies are now in flower it was time to adjust the temp and humidity in the 4x5 auto tent. I like to keep it at about 80°F & 50% humidity during lights on. With 70°F & 45% humidity during lights off (approximately). To accomplish this, I added a programmable dehumidifier and oscillating tower heater. 9/25 - Top dressed all with Roots Organics Seabird Guano, and Elemental. I also did a 24 hour brew on some compost tea. Fed that to them as well. They are really fattening up now and are covered in frosty trichomes. So far, one of them has a very deep purple while the other three remain a beautiful lavender color. Her smell is very potent. She smells like a grape SweetTart (remember those?).

Endlich wieder Aktuell Growmies!!!! 💚💚💚 2 Monate aka 8 Wochen permanent Outdoor Zombie Kush 🧟‍♂️💜(Purpel Pheno) von den Krumme-Gurken als Test Steckling bekommen am 25.4 mit ca.2 Wochen. Durch die Beschäftigung mit Erde,Bodenleben,Pilze und Mikroorganismen führte zu der Frage kann ich eine nach schema mineralisch gedüngte Pflanze umstellen auf organischen Dünger samt Bodenleben das den Dünger auch verfügbar machen kann?! Da der COMPO BIO NATURDÜNGER MIT GUANO NPK Werte 7+4+5 plus Magnesium und Calcium besitzt und man laut Verpackung damit das Bodenleben verbessert und Mikroorganismen fördert so wie Wochen lange stabile Versorgung für die Pflanze weshalb ich nur 2 EL Guano am Rand verteilt habe da in ca 3-4 Wochen die Blüte anfängt und sie in den ersten 2 Wochen nicht direkt Blüte Dünger brauchen. Ich bräuchte ein Blüte Guano Dünger oder sowas ähnliches(bitte Vorschläge)ansonsten würde ich sie ab der Blüte wieder mineralisch Düngen. Da mein Leitungswasser laut Werten zu wenig Calcium hat was ich auch schon festgestellt habe habe ich mir Canna Mono Calcium und Algenkalk gekauft. Aber ich würde sagen die Pflanze ist Top fit und Das nur mit Wasser. Habe mir aber zum testen das BioCanna 3 Pflanzen Set mit Vega,Flores und Bio Rhizotonic geholt das ich eine organische Option habe und Vergleich. ^^ Kurze persönliche Anmerkung als ADHD/Schmerzpatient mit Opiat und Methylphenidat: So gerne ich GD benutze oder auch Social Media um ein Teil der Community zu sein. Ist es wenn man nur 1 Daumen und Hand benutzen kann um zu schreiben und Fotos machen extrem anstrengend so dass es Spaß macht da es mich fordert motorisch mit Händen zu arbeiten. Durch Morbus Sudeck im linken Daumen bis Zeige Finger Bereich alles versteift und unbeweglich die zerstörten nerven einer vorherigen Kapaltunnel-Op tut ihr übrigens in Kombination mit ADHS führt es zu Reiz Überflutung wo mich meine Pflanzen am besten wieder Erden und ohne Rauchen runter holen. Oder ich das Medikament Pregabalin unter Ärztlicher Aufsicht absetzen und mit Cannabis aus eigenem Anbau und Depot Spritze wieder Lebensqualität habe! Der Unfall,OP, 9 Wochen Intensiv Station sind 3 Jahre her und fast 1 Jahr hier auf GROWDIARIES was die beste eigen Therapie ist für mich besonders dank der Menschen und die gemeinsame Leidenschaft hier auf Growdiaries!

witam serdecznie 👋. Hello everyone 👋 Trzem maluszką dzisiaj mija 14 dzień i tylko Mango Frost jest młodsza o dwa dni ale leci równa z resztą 😉 i dokonałem wyboru i treningi zostały podzielone w następujący sposób. Mango Frost i Mango Cherry Runtz 1beda prowadzone po przez standardowy trening LST a Mango Cherry Runtz 2 i Auto GMO idą pod defoliacje selektywną. Myślę że to będzie fajne porównanie co do treningów i wiem że to nie odda w stu procentach potencjału treningowego z uwagi takiej iż powinno robić się to na klonach. Jednak jak dobrze wiemy z automatów nie da się pobrać klonów dlatego nie na możliwości w 100% uzyskać prawdziwych danych. Po prostu robię to dla moich widzów z kanału Wesoły Ogród Aliena bo bardzo dużo z nich uprawia autoflowers od Fast Bud42 lub też innych i zależało im na takim teście a mi dwa razy nie trzeba powtarzać. pozdrawiam serdecznie 💚🍀?

9/21: I harvested 2 more of the #4's, and my 3 hybrid autos last night. After washing them, I hung them to dry in a room with very little airflow and average temperature of around 78f-80f. The humidity has been pretty high, so hopefully they dry slowly. After 4 days of hanging to dry, I've been alternating the first #4 that I harvested between a brown paper bag and a 1 gallon jar every day to slow the drying process and will probably do the same with these 5 plants. 9/22: I fed the 4 x #2's, flushed the 4 x #10's, and watered the remaining 2 x #4's and the 2 x #3's with some liquid soil only. They're pretty much ripe and ready, but they'll have to wait another day or two until I have some time to spare. 9/23: I harvested the last 2 x #4's and one of the #3's today. Buds washed and hung to dry- 9/25: ...late night and early the 26th.. Harvested all 4 of the #10's and the last #3. Yowsa, those #10 buds are heavy and sticky! I moved the last 4 plants into my tiny tent..all the #2's. For their last week, they're gonna be about a foot underneath 360w of quantum boards in roughly 5 square feet of space (36" x 20"), which breaks down to about 72w/sq ft, so I'm venting my bigger CO2 bucket into the tiny tent for the next week.

June 7: Lemon Cream Kush is looking good a day or two after being topped. June 9: going good. Video is a tip to moisten plant leaves a couple times a day when growing in dry air. It makes up for the low humidity. June 10: wildfire smoke has reappeared but not as bad as 2023 (here at least (so far)). She is not stretching out like my other plants but still growing. June 13: oops, i broke a main stem while trying to do LST. Patched with floral tape. it didnt fully break so the tape might work.
