🌱 Grow Diary Update — Sour Diesel Week 4 | First week of flower (12/12) This week, the spotlight is on Sour Diesel, because she clearly stood out from the rest of the room — and when one plant speaks louder than the others, we listen. ⸻ 📍 Quick recap (so everyone is on the same page) • Sour Diesel just entered week 6 / first week of flower • She was running on Autopots with mineral-only feed • Organics and amendments were removed from the Autopot system • The rest of the room handled this change fine • She did not She started showing: • Droopy posture • Loss of vigor • Early deficiency-type signals • A general “I’m not comfortable” look Important detail: 👉 She was the only plant reacting like this. ⸻ 🌿 Why this happened (the key lesson) Sour Diesel is an old-school genetic, and not all strains respond the same way to abrupt system changes. In her case: • She was previously thriving with organics + minerals • Removing organics reduced: • Nutrient complexity • Biological buffering • Availability of secondary elements • This happened right at the transition into flower, when demand increases sharply On top of that, we had environmental pressure: • Outside temps: ~4°C • Outside humidity: ~98% • Room stabilized at: 21°C / 58% RH Those conditions are acceptable — but combined with: • Feed change • Flower transition • Genetic sensitivity …it was enough for her to react. ⸻ 🚿 Why we took her off Autopots Autopots are great — but they’re not universal. We removed her from the Autopot regimen because: • She needed immediate, tailored feeding • She wasn’t responding well to mineral-only delivery • Hand-feeding lets us: • Adjust EC gently • Reintroduce organics • Observe response feed by feed This wasn’t a system failure — it was a plant-specific decision. ⸻ Current feeding strategy (now) • Medium: hand-fed (off Autopots) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Full recipe: organics + minerals • Added: CalMag Pro Why CalMag Pro? • We’re using rainwater + humidifier water, which is very soft • Low calcium & magnesium availability can show fast in flower • This is both: • A corrective move for her • A preventive move for the whole room Meanwhile, the rest of the Autopot system is running: • 2.29 EC • pH 6.0 • Mineral-only • Other plants are stable and happy ⸻ 🌬️ Environment (current) • Lights: stable • Airflow: good • Temp: ~21°C • RH: ~58% Nothing extreme — but this shows how context + timing + genetics matter more than numbers alone. ⸻ 🔮 What we expect (and what we don’t) What we expect: • Gradual recovery, not overnight • Leaf posture improving first • New growth responding before old leaves • Stability over speed What we don’t expect: • Instant “fix” • Old damage to reverse • Her to behave exactly like the rest of the room From now on, she’ll simply need a bit more attention than her sisters — and that’s okay. ⸻ 🧠 The bigger takeaway This is a perfect example of why: • There is no single “best way” • Systems are tools, not rules • Genetics always get a vote • Listening beats forcing We’re not chasing perfection — we’re responding with intention. We’ll keep monitoring her closely over the coming week and adjust calmly, step by step. As always, this is just our experience and observation — not a universal recipe.

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.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros y el trasplante se realizó correctamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las jodidas han estirado bastante, ya veremos que ocurre como va todo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Happy about this harvest. Very strong orange citrus aroma with some dense buds along with it. Definitely a sativa dominant bud, with a smooth smoke. Have experimenting on self pollinating and tried it on one particular bud on this plant, and i have to say, it has worked! One seed has been found and is directly been placed in soil 3 days ago. Have not seen any faces submerged yet but hopefully fat monkey #2 is on the way soon with some new growing techniques 😏

16/8 bloom foliar 0.7 ec Cherry gar see ya R1 Pre flowering stage 9days! (18/8) Bud rush 0.5g/L (start 21/8) Bloom boost pk 0.5ml/L

Last week or so for these girls. Incredible amount of frost on them and they smell ripe 👌

👋🏼💚 so we have spent all morning doing low stress training on our girls good old benders and pipe cleaners 👌🏼 all opened up and looking beautiful 🤩 4 weeks +1 day old. under the marshydro FCE 3000’s being fed plantmagic nutrients the silicon is doing wonders so soft and bendy 🔥👏🏼 Tent size is 4x4. Thanks @ the_green_team_2020

Tag 38: Es war mal wieder Zeit die Green Gelato in Form zu bringen, ich habe etwas entlaubt und zurecht gebogen.

Bud sites/ pistils starting to pop through now ...really happy with how she has turned out in the end, learned so much from this plant I've become emotionally attached...and took 2 clones ...really hoping they take to (never cloned on my life🤞)

Sweet & Sour terps coming off this Pheno.

May 12th 14th - most of the plants were watered with Nute Tea ** unsolicited… the vivosun e6 clip-on is an awesome small fan. Wonderfully made/finished and a super efficient tool for the tent. A No-Brainer of a purchase now that I see it work! 16th - she’s hit with a bit of a nitrogen deficiency and that changing. Coffee grounds mixed into surface, Worm Casting Tea for Dinner… - a few plants in the tent are showing it. All Purpose Fert 4-4-4 must be running low… - Will add half-dose of Granular Veg Fert (gaia green) to liquid dinner 17th - fed and Looking Good 👀 18th - last day of the week, back on track. 19th - found a big set of Nuts on the Afghan… we’ll have to try this one again ! Sorry Seedsman!

Week 2 underway and she's developing accordingly. Everything is in the soil so we continue to just let her sip from the reservoir thru the wicks. I'm still misting the top of the soil to make sure she's getting enough to drink.

Beginning of week 8! Things are going well in the tent, new life is thriving and ladies are coming along nicely!

This is the actual harvest now! Out of the three plants this run, trimming (I'm wet trimming usually) this one was the most fun (least work 💩). Amazing leaf to inflorescence ratio! These may also have been the most dense/heavy buds I have ever harvested. Usually my dry weight at ~60% is about 20-25% of the wet weight.. I'm excited to see how this one ends up. Compared to the last LemonZ I grew, this one was quite a bit larger and took about 10 days longer. But I'm guessing the yield is almost 1.6-1.8x the last one! [Past Dan:]Drying right now at around ~55% relative humidity and upping to 60% in 2-3 days - will update this with dry bud shots as soon as I get the opportunity! [Present Dan:] Drying finished after seven days. Had to measure the humidity because just touching the buds made me think they're still somewhat wet. They're not wet, just VERY resinous!💩 This time I also tried to vacuum shrink one of the buds as an experiment. For people who like the "round and compact" look that maybe the way to go. I'm torn between that and the natural wet-trim-dried-look. You certainly lose some resin to the bag. Aaand some flavour too because after opening the bag it fucking STANK! I tried making a video of the vacuumed bud too but it came out too bright due to the phone-flashlight lighting the vid I think. Taste/effect report soon(tm)!

Critical purple #2- so this lady was pulled tonight and put in darkness for 48hrs!! She will be cut sat night! So ready to smoke this lady!!! So she was put in darkness at exactly 7 weeks of 🌸 Pineapple auto #1- this will be my last lady to finish out in this tent as she started out SLOW in first week or two of 🌸 she's starting to fill in now but she is behind the rest, but she also is the biggest plant in the tent. Pineapple auto #2- gave cal mag and made her worse again. So I'm just gonna stretch her until the end. She has about 2 weeks left so I'm praying for the best. Apparently I have a hard time Growing sativa! Well guys I'm gonna bring this to an end for the week. I would like to thank all my fellow growers for the follows, likes, comments and just all around great support!! Till next week Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

Alright, so we're moving along with the grow but some of these ladies seem to be struggling just a little bit more than others... they're definitely growing at a great pace but the foliage just looks rough. I stopped the alfalfa Ferment thinking it might be a little to potent for them right now... we'll see how they look after another week. I'm sure they'll all grow out of the funk.

Slowly we are getting to the finishing line, i would guess 2 or 3 weeks. She is doing very well, although she had all the problems at the start. The buds are swelling and she smells great fruity.
