Growing a little too tall for my room, but I think the stretch is pretty much done now. I super cropped 3 of the largest colas. Probably spoke too soon last week, PH dropped like a stone down to 4.5 a few days back. They had K and Mg lock out for maybe half a day. Stripped most of the lowest 10 leaves of nutrients. This is why defoliation is not the way to go, keep your leaves. They act as storage for nutrients and give you a buffer if PH lets you down 😁 It’s also pretty difficult to get a decent photo of the whole plants anymore 😕

Bon voila ! les larves de chrysopes sont arrivées, je les aime bien car après avoir mangé les thrips sous toutes leurs formes, les chrysopes adultes restent dans la tente, très utile en cas de nouvelle invasion de thrips... en seulement 2 jours on voit que les feuilles des plantes ne s'abîment plus et redeviennent bien verte, c'est plutôt bon signe... ma petite bouture acid dough entame donc son reveging, les fleurs qui restaient s'allongent et des nouvelles feuilles à 1 pale sont apparues, pour le moment elle fait un peu mutante mais je ne m'inquiète pas, affaire à suivre, en attendant arrosage à l'eau, et je prévois un TCO la semaine prochaine.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering I did the last trimming/pruning till harvest this week past. The plants have recovered and are going into resin production now. I have stuck my nose in the tent when I first open it after the dark period and I hardly get any smell. Just a bit of a citrus/hash smell which is interesting because this is supposed to be a strong strain, which in the past has meant a strong smelling strain as well. Makes you go Hmmm isn't that interesting. This weeks puzzle is a maze. Feel free to print it off and solve it. Please don't write on the screen or it might come off if you use one of those dry erase markers. but printing is better😂 Answer next week. It's been a quite wood splitting week for me. Keep growing straight. Chuck.

Tag 20: Heute musste ich die erste Pflanze aussortieren aus Platzgründen. Tag 24: Wieder eine Pflanze aus Platzgründen entfernt.

The ladies are starting to fatten up and are looking great! Lots of long white hairs poking out, great stacking, and the smell is soooo loud. I’m having to run my exhaust 24/7 which has led to some cooler temps. I’m starting to see colour forming in two of the girls, but one in particular 😊 this strain should finish within 8-9 weeks, but others have gone longer to get more amber and couch lock out of the buds. Thanks for checking out my grow!

Week 2 went well. Plant 1 kicked off the bloom cycle with a bang, plant 2, still asleep I guess🤷‍♂️ finally showing a flower formation on day 14. Plant 1 was showing after 34 hours of dark, day 2. As far as the canopy goes, 74 out of 81 squares filled. I'm guessing one more tucking session in a week and we sit back and watch. Cranked up the food to, again, what general hydro recommends at this stage aswell as some bud start I had a sample of from a buddy. I dont intend on buying any magic potions this time around, just the future harvest samples I have. Setup needs a reformat, at that point I will settle on a nutrient line for the next grow. The root mat seems to be working as I hoped. How this affects yield/quality vs extra veg who knows🤷‍♂️ but more roots more buds right? I'm also zeroing in on the dryback cycles which I believe is causing more branching and less tap root entanglement. Hard to capture but the root mat is a crisp white for the most part. In the photos, the dead yucky brown rot looking portions are actually only slightly darkened. Hopefully light leak, not fungus as the brown is only on mature roots and not slimy in the slightest. What can I say about barneys ayahuasca purple. Its purple already😅 I must add, flower set is a beautiful thing. The anticipation is building, fingers crossed🤞

GENERAL COMMENT. Two different realities are populating my humble growroom, by one side we have a vibrant SKR and the other the NL that was destabilised a wile back. This two girls from RQS have lots of virtues, and shooting up many colas, and harvest is looking promising also with the lock in the NL. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO AKA NL - COMMENT. After struggling a lot to curb her deficiencies and spotting, I could rinse off the salt buildup and raise the soil PH, flush, flush, flush little bit of voodoo juice, and only the full organic based nutes made the trick for now, so we are stable, and leaves started to look healthier, spotting stoped but is already in the majority of the leaves. EC is light at 1.1 Stoped taking the runoff since i made the medium treatment, and honestly that got on my nerves now is bulking this colas or die, finito with the over caring thing… One thing to notice is that i have to re do this strain to fully grow it and having a 100% potencial to be able to fully judge, as for now if you do this strain use less of everything, nutes, light, water, less is definitely more with this strain. Smell is the least pungent of the plants i ever done, so if you are looking for a stealth plant this is a good candidate.

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos 13th Feb 2020 The LST seems to have been a success as the plant remains healthy and seems to be growing the way I would like it to. I'm only going to give her one more week of extra light hours with the LED, and then she can stay outside, where she can transistion into Flowering Naturally. The plant seems to have a lot of it's mothers (Fastbuds GSC) looks to it, and the stem smell when rubbed is fairly similiar too. I am still hoping for some of the Red Diesel fathers Characteristics to come thru before this girls Finished. Now for the Weekly Aussie Music Videos. Last week was a double with Yothu Yindi and Midnight Oil This week I'ts the ladies turn with a group called the Divinyls led by the charismatic Late Chrissy Amphlett who sadly passed away in 2013 from Multiple sclerosis. I cant choose between their hits "Pleasure and Pain" or " I Touch myself" so like before I'll put up the links to both Music videos Here is the Pleasure and pain link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5boYiMktOvs And I touch myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv-34w8kGPM I hope you enjoy this weeks diary update and Aussie music Videos Thankyou for reading this and I'll see you next Week. 👍

These two girls are starting nicely. Still nursing the third pot.. I’ll update on it later as well. ** Update ** The third girl popped on 9/8. She’s looking healthy as well

Hello everyone 😎 After 24hours in a glass of water with a few drops of hydrogen peroxyde all the seeds have germinate🌱🎢 They will grow under the new Mars Hydro FC1200 evo💥

Installed Viparspectra XS1500 Pro bringing the total wattage to 250W. I will be installing (2) Viparspectra P2000 and moving the Vivosun VS100 (100W) eventually to a new 2x2 tent for eventual perpetual grow bringing the total wattage in the 4x4. Current 4x4 1 Viparspectra XS1500 (150W) 1 Vivosun VS1000 (100W) = 250W Eventual 4x4 2 Viparspectra P2000 (240w) 1 Viparspectra XS1500 (150W) = 480 - 630W Eventual 2x2 Vivosun VS1000 (100W) = 100W No Nutes, only Recharge, will be applying top dressing next week for the 3 gal Gelato X Purple Punch in pre flower.

02/06/2025, start of week 3, decided to do a bit of LST (tied down main stem) let's see how she responds. Reduced humidity by around 8% to increase leaf VPD to between 0.7 and 1.0 kpa, and lowered the light a little more, increasing to around 300 PPFD for this week. Hoping to see a bit of a rush of growth once she recovers from the LST as I expect flowering will start in the next 2 weeks and need her to fill out a.s.a.p Update 04/06/2025, Looks like I should have probably waited for the next node to stretch a little and then tied her down as I could have brought the top full level with the the other shoots and perhaps encourage better branching as this particular girl doesn't seem to be very branchy, this may change though, will probably have to bend her again but time it better so I can actually tie round the very top instead of one node down and hopefully then encourage some real branching and filling out. Another lesson learned for this rookie. Update: 06/06/2025, fed at 1.2 ec ph 6.2. Update 08/08/2025, end of week, should have waited at least a couple more days to water, she looks over watered, not terrible though and looking better this morning than yesterday morning, will make sure she is properly dry next time.

Start of week 5. after heavy flash and run off correction i need to wait til it dries and dial up the root zone to stable 1.2 to 1.4 EC and 6-6.1ph I need to water @ 5.8 ph and 1.0EC to achieve yesterdays final runoff of 1.6EC 6.4PH Good thing i rescued her yesterday as i found some slight tip burns.

Start of week 3 of flowering for plants 2 & 3. They are showing signs of heat stress, three days last week temps in the grow room reach 35°c. Aside from some heat stress, the plants still look healthy and the bud sites are developing nicely. Light defoliation of each plant, removing the dying leaves and some of the ones showing signs of dying.

One more week is now finished, let's have a look as what happened during this last 7 days and nights Used the weekend to make a nice cleaning again - I like to take all from the tent and clean on Sundays. Gives a good feeling. The plant is still full flowering, finally some yellowing and browning pistils. The color of the bud is gorgeous. Flush has started officially, 2l water every second day for a week, and then probably should be ready a few days after. It's a great smell coming from this plant, so sweet. Is amazing! Temps and RH are very stable, which is great. 27c day 60%Rh 24c night ~70%RH That's all for now, next week there'll be more. Have a nice week, happy grows to all, and better smoke :D

Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I'll start flowering tomorrow by switching to 12 / 12 h because the ladies mustn't get too high because the small flowering tent is only 160 cm high :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 5 | Letting the Plant Choose Her Own Pace One of the reasons I love growing multiple phenotypes from the same seed pack is that they constantly remind me of one important lesson… Genetics always have the final word. Even when plants share the same parents, the same environment, the same nutrition and exactly the same lighting schedule, each one develops its own personality. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is proving exactly that. While her sister is already comfortably stepping into flowering, this lady is taking her time, continuing to build structure before fully committing to bloom. And honestly… I’m perfectly happy to let her decide. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Journey For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 from seed method, meaning the lighting schedule has remained at 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very beginning of the grow. Unlike traditional cultivation, where growers decide exactly when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, this method leaves much of that decision to the plant itself. Each phenotype transitions when its genetics decide the moment is right. That’s exactly what we’re seeing here. Although the first pre-flower signs are beginning to appear, I still consider this another week of vegetative growth. She simply hasn’t committed enough to flowering for me to officially change the diary yet. It’s a perfect example of how two sisters can follow completely different timelines while growing side by side. ⸻ 🌿 Building Structure Before Flowers Rather than rushing her into bloom, this week focused on preparing the strongest possible foundation. Pheno B naturally grows with an extremely compact structure, producing very short internodal spacing and dense foliage. That beautiful compactness comes with one small challenge… Light struggles to reach the interior of the canopy. To help with that, I spent the week using gentle Low Stress Training together with regular leaf tucking to expose developing shoots hidden beneath the large fan leaves. Toward the end of the week I also performed a very light defoliation. Nothing aggressive. Just removing a few carefully selected leaves to improve airflow and allow more light to reach the inner branches. Sometimes less really is more. By the end of the week the results were already becoming visible, with several lower shoots responding by stretching upward and beginning to develop into future flowering branches. Exactly the response I was hoping for. ⸻ 💧 Hand Feeding Continues Unlike her sister, Pheno B remains completely hand-watered. For now I want full control over how she receives her nutrients while continuing to observe how this phenotype develops naturally. Hand watering also allows me to monitor her appetite closely and make adjustments whenever necessary based on her individual needs rather than following the same routine as the AutoPot system. As always, every plant earns its own management strategy. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s feeding consisted of the complete Plagron program, including: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The introduction of Terra Bloom and Power Buds marks another exciting milestone as the plant slowly begins preparing for reproductive growth. Although she’s still spending most of her energy building structure, it’s the perfect moment to begin supporting what’s coming next. Solution parameters remained stable with an EC around 1.78 mS/cm and a pH of approximately 6.02, providing a balanced nutrient profile while keeping the root zone healthy. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under intentionally warm conditions. Day temperatures averaged around 31.1°C, nighttime temperatures remained close to 25°C, relative humidity stayed around 72%, and atmospheric CO₂ measured approximately 693 ppm. Those humidity levels are still intentional. At this stage I’m encouraging vigorous vegetative expansion and allowing the plants to establish as much healthy biomass as possible before gradually reducing humidity later in flowering. It’s all part of preparing for healthier flowers in the weeks ahead. ⸻ 📸 This Week Behind the Lens This week’s photographs beautifully capture the personality of Pheno B. She’s noticeably shorter than her sister, yet incredibly dense. The studio side profiles reveal a stocky plant packed with tightly spaced growth sites, while the bird’s-eye photographs highlight just how compact her canopy has become. Several close-up images also document the early effects of leaf tucking and the gentle defoliation, showing new shoots beginning to emerge from areas that were previously hidden beneath large fan leaves. Watching those branches respond over only a few days is one of those quiet victories that makes plant training so rewarding. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should answer one of the biggest questions of this grow. Will Pheno B finally commit fully to flowering? Or will she continue investing another week into structure before stretching? Either outcome is perfectly welcome. If she continues vegetative growth, I’ll maintain gentle training and keep opening the canopy to encourage even more secondary branching. If flowering officially begins, the focus will shift toward supporting the stretch while maintaining an open, evenly lit canopy. Whatever she decides… I’ll simply help her become the best version of herself. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you to everyone following this journey and taking the time to grow alongside me.

EGC26 no pistils yet. Maybe going from 24 to 12/12 has a slower effect on flowering?
