🌱 Veg Stage – Week 2 | Day 13 (22 days since germination) Strawberry AK – Current Status At day 13 of vegetative growth (22 days since germination), the Strawberry AK is growing under controlled indoor conditions in Lightmix soil. 💧 Water & Parameters Irrigation EC: 0.6–0.7 pH (input): 6.2 Runoff pH: stable around 6.3 🌿 Observation Despite identical conditions and no fertilization, the Strawberry AK is already showing leaf clawing. At such an early stage of the grow and without any nutrient input, this is not a positive sign. Based on my experience from previous grows, plants that show stress symptoms this early often remain problematic throughout the entire cycle. This can include sensitive reactions to EC increases, unstable growth, or recurring stress and deficiency symptoms despite correct parameters. 🧠 Plan The Strawberry AK will be observed for one more week without any additional intervention or feeding. If the leaf structure does not clearly stabilize or if the plant continues to lag behind under unchanged conditions, it will be removed from the run. A stable setup with healthy plants is preferred over continuously compensating for a problematic genetic. ❓ Question to the Community What is your experience with strains that show issues this early in veg? Would you continue and wait it out, or remove the plant early?

Yo Farmers, in the plant's 11th week, I had to take some drastic measures to keep her healthy and thriving. First off, I did some major defoliation by plucking a ton of her fan leaves from the lower and middle sections. That way, she could get better airflow and light penetration. It's still not perfect, but we tried. Then, I had to apply some high stress training since the plant was stretching like crazy. It was like she was trying to reach the moon or something. Anyway, during my inspection, I noticed some damage on the leaves close to the light. It could have been from light burn, Calmag issues, or a phosphorus deficiency. To fix it, I adjusted the distance of the light and fed her a high PK nutrient solution to boost her phosphorus levels and nutrient uptake. Gotta keep the girl fed, right? All in all, it was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The plant's still growing strong and looking better than ever.

Week 4: Started adding Humboldt Secret Golden Tree at 600 ppm. The plant started bushing out from the LST so I defoliated whatever green wasn't getting any light and to expose light to smaller nodes. I was planning on topping this week but to my surprise the plant had created a third axil/node and axillary branch.

This week has progressed nicely - the plant is starting to work on fresh leaves and is pushing the second node now. This plant is looking really healthy and strong so far! Today marks week three - so I will be switching my light to 18/6 until flower - which wont be for a while since I do mainlining - generally my veg time is stretched out quite a bit because of that. I will be keeping this updated as I go along and I am excited to share the progress! This is organic living soil - no bottles - nothing made in a lab. Today I harvested about two pounds of worm castings from one of my worm bins - you can see in the pictures some friends decided to come along for the ride! I mixed the castings with basalt, glacial rock dust, crab meal, kranja cake, kelp meal, and neem meal - then top dressed with that mixture, working it down into the soil a bit with my fingers, and then watered that all in with about a gallon of water. I really like to grow in this large raised bed - its the entire size of my tent which makes it completely impossible to move during a grow cycle but I love the fact that each plant in this 2x4 raised bed essentially has 50 gallons of soil all to itself! Thanks so much for checking out my grow - if you have any questions or comments don't hesitate! Cheers to a great community of growers!

Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

Ya comenzamos con el lavado! Flawless para terminar con un buen sabor y buena ceniza! Tratamos de bajar la EC lo mas cercano a 0 que pueda. Esta es la ultima semana antes del corte, asi llegamos a las fiestas con flores secas y frescas! Muy contento por como se ha dado todo este ciclo, pero con muchas ganas de corregir ciertas cositas que he ido aprendiendo en este cultivo, muy agradecido con la planta y con este aprendizaje! Felicidad absoluta En la expocannabis de Uruguay pude analizar 2 muestras, f5 y f2. El f5 tiene mayor thc y mas % de terpenos! Mas presencia de limoneno, luego linalol y un poco de myrceno! Mientras el F2 tiene mas presencia de Myrceno, limoneno y linalol. Menos thc que f5 y menos terps, esto ya es otro nivel! Entender quimicamente como esta tu flor, esto otro juego! Saludos Jardin33ro

I have started removing substrates and other things that contain nitrogen in them. You see, the trichomes are quite dense, and the flesh is also blooming, there is a tree that foxtail me sad because its flowers like pillars.

420 Fastbuds Week 3 Cherry Cola Auto This week I decided to do a major defoliation taking off all the bigger fan leafs. This way the lower branches can get a little more light. All in all they seem to be bouncing back OK from it besides being some what droppy but usually after the lights are on for an hour they perk right back up.

This week marks the end for this beautiful Blueberry what an amazing journey! The buds turned out dense, frosty, and full of deep purple and blue shades, covered in a crazy amount of trichomes that glisten under the light. Most of the trichomes are now milky with around 10–15% amber, just perfect for a balanced and smooth high. The aroma is absolutely delicious strong blueberry sweetness mixed with creamy and earthy tones, getting more intense every single day. During the last week I gave only plain water for the final flush, and the plant faded nicely with beautiful yellow and purple contrasts on the leaves. The structure stayed compact with heavy colas and almost no fluff, showing excellent density for an auto. Harvested at the peak moment for both potency and flavor. Can’t wait to taste it after the dry and cure it’s definitely one of my most beautiful and aromatic plants so far! Made bubble hash from Blueberry trims. Final yield: 6.5 g recovered from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags combined. Steps (what I did): 1. Collected trims gathered all the trimmed material from the Blueberry plants and prepared it for processing. 2. Prepared frozen material chilled/froze the trims so they were ready for the wash. 3. Agitated in ice water agitated the frozen trims in ice water to separate the resin from the plant material. 4. Filtered through bubble bags ran the wash through a set of bubble bags, including the 72 µm and 25 µm bags, to separate the different grades. 5. Recovered resin collected the resin that accumulated in the 72 µm and 25 µm bags. 6. Pressed & dried pressed the collected resin into a ball and dried/allowed it to cure until stable. 7. Weighed final product after drying/curing, weighed the final product: 6.5 g total from the 72 µm + 25 µm fractions. Notes / Observations: • The final texture was [insert your texture e.g., sticky, sandy, crumbly] and the colour was [insert colour e.g., light blond / amber / dark]. • Yield came only from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags; other bag fractions produced negligible amounts this run. Harvested the Blueberry at perfect maturity cloudy trichomes, strong berry terpene profile and very dense flowers. Drying was slow and controlled, keeping the room at 60% RH / ~18°C for optimal preservation of cannabinoids and volatiles. After trimming the buds, I collected all the sugar leaves and small popcorn buds to run a full bubble hash wash using my 5-bag set (220 / 160 / 120 / 73 / 25 μm). I followed a cold wash method using ice + reverse osmosis water, keeping everything near 0–2°C. Gentle agitation only — no beating the material. Yields: • 72–73 μm: main grade — golden, oily, perfect melt • 25 μm: clean sandy resin, great for rosin pressing Total hash yield from this plant: 7 grams. The 73 μm fraction was pressed by hand into a sticky, elastic temple ball and has been curing at 16°C / 55% RH for slow maturation. The smoke from the flowers is incredibly smooth, with a classic Blueberry profile — sweet, creamy, slightly earthy with a berry exhale. Very relaxing and euphoric high, ideal for evening use. Overall, one of my most enjoyable runs so far.
