growing chem pie was amazing from start to finish, he made beautiful buds covered in resin. Every day it was wonderful to go and see how it blooms. during cultivation I came across two completely different phenotypes. One had rather more open but very firm buds, but the other was more like a crossbow and also firm buds. During drying, a little mold appeared on one of the bud, but otherwise everything is fine. after a month of curing, the taste of the smoke was very pronounced.

Start of week 7, for the Super Lemon Haze, I'm repeating the week 6 feed cycle as she's going for at least one extra week 9, compared to only 8 weeks for the blueberries, before flushing. Last week was good, but the Super Lemon Haze continues to be a very hungry girl. She is very sticky and has a light lemon smell. The two blueberry plants continue to pack on weight and size, they have a very pungent smell and are starting to get sticky like the SLH.

Overall very happy with the grow. Got 24oz of very dense nugs! I also managed to get 2oz of less dense but still pretty bag-appeal, and a shit ton of trim which I made into tidy ass brownies, which have made typing this incredibly difficult😂! Both of these strains are definitely bed time strains. The Critical kush is has the usual overwhelming kush taste, however the peyote(purple nugs) have a very sweet / flowery taste and smell. Disappointed I only done 1 peyote but more than happy with the critical. Would definitely grow both these strains again!

🌱 Animal Mints — Week 6 From Seed (≈ Week 2 Flower / Pre-Flower Phase) Quick Recap for New Readers This run includes multiple Animal Mints plants, all treated similarly, but we’re mainly cataloging two reference plants to clearly show how timing affects structure and development: • Plant A → 12/12 from seed • Plant B → ~15 days under 16/8 veg, then flipped to flower Same genetics, same room, same feeding — different timelines. That’s the whole experiment. ⸻ Plant A vs Plant B — Why Two Plants? • Plant A (12/12 from seed) • More compact • Slower early structure • Responds very well to gentle leaf bending and light training • Still stretching and stacking nicely • Plant B (short veg period) • Bigger frame • More developed branching • Further along in flower at the same “seed age” • Took light cleanup / lollipopping better This small veg window made a huge difference in structure and flower progression, and that’s exactly why we’re documenting both. ⸻ ✂️ Canopy Work (No Heavy Defoliation) This week we did selective leaf removal, not a true defoliation: • Opened airflow and light paths • Removed shaded or blocking leaves • Light lollipopping on Plant B only • Plant A kept mostly intact, just leaf bending and spacing Goal wasn’t stress — it was space, airflow, and efficiency. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day Temp: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on height & position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm (now stabilizing around 909 ppm) As outside temps stayed cooler, the room naturally became its own heat source: • Increased plant mass • Higher light intensity • Under-canopy lighting added No forced heaters. No extremes. Just letting the system balance itself. 🌬️ Airflow • Vortex extraction • Multiple cross-flow fans • Constant gentle movement No leaf chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear transition phase. • EC: ~2.4 • pH: 6.5 (transitioning down — all feeds now 6.0+) Why Higher pH Right Now? As plants move into flower, nutrient demand shifts: • Better Ca / Mg uptake • Stronger phosphorus & potassium availability • Root activity increases Slightly higher pH at this stage supports structural growth and flower formation, especially under higher light and CO₂. Nutrient Transition • Terra Grow → Flowering nutrients • Supporting the hormonal shift from stretch → stack • Small signs of possible cal-mag demand observed — already being addressed, nothing severe ⸻ 🌿 Growth Observations • Both plants look healthy and vigorous • Plant B is clearly ahead in flower development • Plant A continues to stretch and respond beautifully to training • Leaf color overall is excellent • Bud sites stacking cleanly At this point: • All plants are in pre-flower / early flower • We’re counting this as Week 2 flower in the life cycle ⸻ 📸 Studio Session Plants were brought into the studio to: • document structure clearly • show node spacing and canopy differences • create a clean visual timeline Photos reflect real structure, not “posed perfection”. ⸻ ❤️ Final Words Big thanks to: • the geneticists • the sponsors • the platform • the OGs • the newcomers • the critics • the lovers • even the haters Everyone has a place here. We share wins, mistakes, and lessons openly so we can all grow better together. Criticism is welcome — it’s how progress happens.

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.

Hello, my green connoisseur! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived—the Harvest Report for our botanical queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. This has been a journey filled with anticipation, and now, we stand on the shores of botanical triumph. Jealousy, in her final act, bestowed upon us a generous yield of 195 grams of dry bud. It's like a cornucopia of green abundance, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions made throughout this green saga. Each nugget is a jewel, a culmination of weeks of growth, love, and dedication. But the story doesn't end there. Jealousy, in her love for the trim bin, gifted us a beautiful golden pollen. This precious powder, transformed into ash via the French Cannoli style. Also gave me a Charas/Finger Ash ball. It's like capturing the essence of the plant in a tangible form—a botanical relic that encapsulates the spirit of our green empress. Now, let's talk about the auditory symphony that accompanied the harvest. The sound, reminiscent of a tree making timber, is like nature's applause for the bountiful harvest. It's the soundtrack to a successful cultivation venture, a melody that resonates through the grow room, echoing the grand finale of this green symphony. The drying process, carried out over two weeks with a temperature of 17°C and humidity at 58%, is like the slow and methodical crafting of a fine wine. Each day, the buds undergo a transformative journey, evolving from freshly harvested flowers to dried and cured masterpieces. And now, the pièce de résistance—the preservation of terps with the Grove Bag featuring Terploc technology. It's like locking the aromatic essence of Jealousy in a time capsule, ensuring that every toke carries the full spectrum of flavors and aromas. The anticipation for the smoke report is palpable, as the strawberry candy profile promises an exquisite sensory experience. Reflecting on this entire journey, from germination to harvest, it's like turning the pages of a botanical epic. The decisions, the challenges, and the moments of sheer joy have shaped the destiny of our green empress. It's a narrative that will be retold, shared, and cherished in the annals of our horticultural adventures. As we conclude this harvest report, let's extend our heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to Zamnesia, Plagron, Grow Diaries, and the vibrant community. Your support and contributions have been the guiding lights on this extraordinary green expedition. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your own harvests be as abundant, flavorful, and joyous as this one. Here's to the culmination of our shared green dreams, the thrill of the harvest, and the anticipation of what lies ahead. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only.

Start of week 9. Buds are filling out nicely, but trichomes are still mostly clear. Breeder says 8-10 weeks so im hoping they are ready in the next week. Both are starting to show a little bit of the leaves fading, not sure if its normal or the start of some sort of deficiency. Super strong smell on both phenos. I was expecting alot more in terms of weight but the quality dies look great. Cant wait! 💨💨

OBJECTIVE -Same nutrients /pH last week SUBJECTIVE -Adding 3-5 gallons daily -PPM Increasing? CONVERSATION Coming down to our last couple weeks, some amber trichomes forming on the leaves. Some branches have such heavy buds they're starting to fall over and require support. Every week we think they'll stop getting bigger but they prove us wrong everytime. The mutant plant has the largest buds but is developing the trichomes the slowest so far. Hopefully well reach 3lbs.

Hello. It's been hot this week. I'm about 4 days from flush and I'll try to flush for 2 weeks. I've seen some fungus gnats, but I try to run a very healthy greenhouse. I've seen 3 different types of spiders helping me out this year. 2 different types of jumping spiders, several harvesters (Daddy long legs) and a bunch of small web spiders. I think a nest of web spiders hatched near by, their webs are about the size of your palm. And of course Paper Wasps. I allow to live in the greenhouse. (check out week 5 for more on that). >I going to make my own seeds this year. I want my females to be about 3 weeks ahead of the male on flowering. The male is under lights and checked every couple of days for flower sacks, NO preflowers sacks too. As i have said before that's a male Dr. Atomic Northern Lights. Going to be crossed with my Amnesia Lemon, Burmberry and Skunkberry. What I want is the Burmberry to have more solid buds. > Amnesia lemon has not had any powdery mildew this year nor has her sister had any. I've gotten some on the other 2 strains. I'm trying frequency changed water " White Wash" works great, knocks the pm right out. I'll see if I'll use it again I'll be able to tell on the smoke and taste test when it done. That's all for now. Chuck.

02/15 (M) - Prepping her to flip into flower within the next week or two - Weaved her under net for better light coverage - Running 8 drip emitters with a 5 gallon res - 45 sec feed every 8hrs. 02/15 (C) - Thus far all 15 are still kicking but they did take a hit - starter roots for all 15 have begun - I will update with pics within the next 2 weeks - Running high temps and high humidity during lights on.

04/18/2020 #5 is growing fast, as you can see in pic of the roots. #1 getting tall,#2,#4, will repot when roots come out of drainage holes. I believe #5is a male but no signs of sex yet just fast and large growth lead me to believe that. #1 seems sativa leaning, #2,#3,#4, are on the smaller side very tight internodal spacing. I also applied some egg shell and banana peel tea, (not #3 hydro 1/2 strength nutes) #5 loved it all the other plants got a little burned, tea batch to strong! Should have diluted more😒. All seem to be recovering well🙏 04/19/2020 Reppot #2 today #4 still in waiting. 04/23/2020 #4 potted up And #3 got her first full strength feeding with advanced nutrients GMB, 4 ml. per liter hope she likes it we see next week🙏
