Week 5 : Six Shooter in Biotabs An eventful week, growing daily, destroying its training daily, pulled out it's metal hook and most of its ties , but overall doing well, getting bushy and pushing it's secondaries above the canopy reaching for the light. Turned up the light to 600W, it's making the room a bit warmer but i'm able to control it pretty well. This 6 shooter is basically in the first week of flowering, but will need an extra week or even two of bloom i think before it comes to maturity, i'm guessing week 12. watered with my micro and beneficials solutions, frothy and brownish but i mean clean water is overrated lol gave them some watering with co2 too, but when i sprayed I think i was spraying too close and using tap water in which i had not measured the micro i was adding so the spray left residue everywhere on the leaves, not really sure how to fix it actually, it's not biggie i know but still. I got these bakery trays used for cooking cakes and cookies and i'm using them to lift the pots slightly getting better airflow. I dont know if it's the airflow under the pots or simply that these are just drinking more for the stage of growth they're at but they're getting three waterings this week which means they are drinking fully 50% more on last week ! 9 pints instead of 6 ! special shout out to my new friend @greencropPT for teaching me some new tricks and showing me some cool stuff ! Week 5 : Six Shooter in Vertafort decent week for the vertafort six shooter, used to be the runt, has basically caught up by now. Glad i did some LST the canopy is even which is great to gage how high the light goes - i'm adjusting the HID every couple of days basically following the growth of the plants. This one has bushed out nicely, i removed a fan leaf that was shading the main cola. It's just now pushing out mini pistils , looking forward to seeing how these do during the main flower stretch. Watered her with my micro and beneficials once, co2 enriched water once, and will likely get a third watering this week. Just going in the tent every so often trying to train the side colas and keep the canopy even. Looking forward to seeing some amazing buds come out of this one ! Week 5 : Mr.B's Six Shooter First week of flowering for the tent and everything is going really well actually, Mr.B's not really showing any signs of excess or deficiencies, but i got nervous going into flower so i added some beneficials. The six shooter is bushing out really nice, pushing it's secondary colas above the cannopy. i took two leaves off this one, they were healthy leaves , but thick, dark brown and causing all sorts of shadow... It was a really interesting experience doing the beneficials for the first time, it got clumpy, brownish, frothy ... gross ! and it was "so ghetto" getting spores and such straight out of a zip lock, check my other diaries i'll put some pics up of that just for laughs. I decided to eyeball my micro and kelp spray which means that there is residu all over lol, trying to get rid of it without rubbing it off, but i might just have to do that. lol that was an experience too, i mix it in for the spray and the solution turns red ! never seen that before even on this site ! check out the vid too, you can see me spraying the plants lol... no biggy but it was an eventful week for bulbi and I learned loads and loads ! not sure if I'm doing the beneficials correctly : does anyone know if those bacteria and fungi play well together? anyway VPD is really on point doing very well on that front, and you can tell from the explossive growth : these six shooters completely pulled out their metal hooks ! drop me a line , i'd love to hear from you ! 🚀🚀

I had bad luck, or beter I didn’t keep the rain out of the structure. So unfortunately the lady’s did get wet! We had a lot of rain after a great summer. I think if I didn’t had rotten flowering 800 gram per plant was normal yield! It is a great plant verry easy to grow and a big yield! I like the seeds of high-Seeds! Its a great supplier! This year a couple of diverent lady’s! Whit a new growhouse.

Week 4 This week 4/28-5/4 Germination April 6. Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570. Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805. 5/1 That was a fun feeding week. I got heavy handed with the TPS1 which put the ppm to 1600= so I had to dilute with more water which changed the ph. So I carefully added the smallest amount oh PHdown..then the PH was 5.08 so then added ph up. Oops too high, let’s try again. Ok finally within range with 6.02. Am I the only one?? Hopefully next week I have better control on the nutes. With my AC controller in charge of the humidifier, I must add 3-4 gallons of water a day. (Getting my lifting exercises in regularly). Girls are fed 2 liters of water every other day. Nutrients: TPS1 7ml per gal Recharge 5 ml/gal Fox Cal-mag 5 ml/gal Took pics 5/1 and 5/3 which show the vigorous leaf growth after only 2 days following defoliation and training. Lemon Drizzle is V shaped with a primary main stalk and a secondary smaller one, With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. Until the plants are big enough to go outside, I will be using my AC Infinity tent and equipment. Once outside, I will be watering with well water and recharge and any additional fertilizers or amendments will be determined at that time.

Ok so another frustrating week! So this week I re potted her and moved her into "the big house" under new lights (GN Telos 0010) set at 70cm from canopy and perfect environment controlled by temp and humidity equipment. Now because of the cal mag deficiency I buffered the coco 2 times in an 8 hour soak in 150% calmag solution ph'd to 6.1 prior to transfer. Then after draining and getting to the correct temp I moved her to the new pot and topped with a light A+B feed. A day later I fed with the nutrients listed which includes 1ml/L of calmag and again the same the following day. Run off ph is spot on at 6.2-6.4ph, although it was 6.6 when I checked today and growth is great but this damn limegreen cal mag deficiency seems to be continuing. At this point I am hoping it's damage already done that didn't show when the leaves were young. The bottom leaves dont seem to be getting worse and some of the reddening on the stems has gone so fingers crossed this next week will see a change in green because I'm out of ideas, apart from making a foliar mix and trying that I'm stumped! The only thing I can think of is a flush incase of a nutrient lock out but I cant see that being the case as her nutes have been light. Even now with all the nutes she is getting the EC is only at 1.4. Thanks for reading, any comments/tips welcome as always. Happy growing!

Day 78 ☀️☀️🔥☀️ 16-28 degrees, humidity 45-65%. Tropicana and I start into the 12th week with intense autumn colors and an explosion of fragrances. It‘s very hot during the last days but bu the night temperatures fell more than 11 degrees last night. When I check my plants in the early morning, give them water and attention, a cloud of Tropicanas fruity and floral fragrances surrounding me. Night 79 ⚡️🌈 This will be Tropicanas last night. I found a little bud rott in the main flower. Glad that I made a video inside. I just saw a yellow leaf as a sign and remembered what I read last week about this problem connected with high humidity and very dense buds. I didn‘t follow any hygiene rules and humidity on the balcony was very high for too long period. So this could happen unfortunately.

🌸 White Widow — Week 4 of Flower (12/12–11/13 From Seed) Stage: Week 4 Flower (full flower, no stretch left) Structure: Compact plant, building a tall main cola (~25 cm target) + tidy “golf-ball” side colas Frost: Already impressive; trichomes thickening across tops and sugar leaves Watering: Hand watering (by feel; no runoff chasing) Light routine: Still running the red-on/red-off sunrise/sunset via TrolMaster (15 min before/after) ⸻ Quick Recap (for anyone just joining) • Germination: We lost the first batch (uneven heat mat, my mistake). We restarted and this solo survivor is the one you see now. • Veg under 11/13: She stayed compact and stubbornly vegged a while before showing preflower, great node stacking. • Early flower: Bud set → second flower push → now deep into Week 4 with clear, even sites top to bottom. • Environment: Room was hot early on; AC install stabilized temps and RH. Plants never showed stress, credit to genetics, steady care, and balanced feed. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition (this week) We’ve removed Top Booster completely. Current, steady recipe: • Aptus Regulator – supports cell strength, transport efficiency, and stress tolerance • Aptus CalMag Boost – LED + coco/active soil insurance for Ca/Mg/Fe availability • Plagron Power Buds – encourages compact flower set at each node • Plagron Sugar Royal – metabolic push (N-based aminos) to drive energy use + aroma precursors • Plagron Green Sensation – balanced late-flower support (PK + organics/biostims) for density, oil, and finish • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – (still in) gentle full-spectrum base; likely to taper/stop soon as the soil biology carries more of the load Why this mix now? Week 4 is the “early swell” window: calyx initiation shifts into mass formation. We’re keeping Ca/Mg steady for membrane integrity and photosynthesis under strong LED; using Power Buds to keep sites tight, Sugar Royal to feed metabolism and terpenes, Green Sensation to support density/oils, and Regulator to keep the plant efficient under heat/PPFD. All-in-One remains as a safety net while the super soil’s biology fully ramps, then it can step back. ⸻ 🔬 Plant Development (what’s happening physiologically) • Stretch is done. Auxin dominance recedes; energy diverts to calyx swelling and trichome biosynthesis. • Trichomes rising. Expect a marked increase in capitate-stalked heads on bracts and sugar leaves from now through Week 6–7. • Carb sink strength. Flowers become the primary sink; steady water + balanced EC will keep turgor and bulking clean. ⸻ 💡 Light & Rhythm • Sunrise/sunset with reds (TrolMaster): 15 min before and after the white/blue block to smooth transitions and lean into the red/far-red synergy. • Target PPFD/DLI: With shorter photoperiods (11–12 h), aim ~700–800 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ to land a DLI ~28–32 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹—a sweet spot for mid-flower without forcing heat stress. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (steady and sensible) • Temps/RH: Now stable since AC: ~28 °C and mid-60s %RH previously reported—great for mid-flower resin and growth when airflow is strong. • VPD: Around 1.3–1.4 kPa is ideal for Week 4 bulk—keeps stomata active, minimizes mold risk, and preserves turgor. • CO₂: Natural room swings are fine at this stage; plant responses are telling us she’s happy. ⸻ 👀 What to Expect Next (Week 5–6) • Calyx stacking & mass gain on the main cola and those side “golf balls.” • Frost explosion: More trichomes and a greasy feel on sugar leaves. • Aroma lift: Expect that classic White Widow earthy-spice to start pushing out. What not to expect • Height—she’s done stretching. • True ripening signals (amber heads, heavy fade) — too early. • Big defoliation needs, she’s compact; keep leaves that drive sugars unless a leaf blocks airflow or a bud site entirely. ⸻ Grower’s Tips (why the choices matter) • No Top Booster now: Keeps K spikes in check; prevents Ca/K antagonism and tip burn while the plant is setting long-term resin factories. • Keep Ca/Mg consistent: Under strong LEDs, Ca deficits appear suddenly in fast-bulking weeks. Stay ahead, not behind. • Watering style: Hand watering gives you feel-level control over moisture fronts and prevents swings—perfect for a compact, single-plant showcase. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude & Shoutouts 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the living legend, White Widow 💧 Aptus Holland — clean, precise fundamentals (Regulator, CalMag, All-in-One) 🌸 Plagron — Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation driving flower expression 💡 ThinkGrow & Future of Grow (Black Series 600W) — power + uniformity for dense stacking 🧠 TrolMaster — the ecosystem that lets us choreograph sunrise/sunset and keep the room steady …and you, reading and riding along.

End of week 8 for medusa 1/5. Plant is looking beautiful with the LST. I will reduce thd nutrients week by week from now, ensuring for a clean finish without flushing. I still feel the veg time for these genetics are too short for big yields. I reckon it will yield around 60 grams. 2/5 was topped and will yield more by the looks of the amount of shoots compared to 1/5. Check my other diaries for the entire experiment. Watering 3L every 2/3 days Smell is very strong now. It will probably be ready in 3 weeks time

Christmas Holidays! ---------FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM FOR MORE CONTENT @ HOMEGROWNCANNABIS420 Dec 24th - Day 68 - Cut Gimli - Completely Harvested Gimli based on Trichome colour and timing with the Holidays - The amount final amount will be updated once the bud is dried *****UPDATE****** Gimli final count is 33grams Dec 25th - Dec 27th - Away for Holidays Dec 28th - Harvested Gimpy! - Gimpy started out looking rough but ended up producing the most bud so far. Have not gotten final weight for it yet, still drying *******update - Gimpy produced 52g****** Dec 29th - More Nutes - Add a small amount of bloom to watering today to maybe help encourage the bud to fill out. Any thoughts?? Jan 1st - End of Week 10 - Cheetos and Disco seem to be developing still - Maybe another week before I Harvest them, unsure why they are so far behind

And the first week of flower is amongst us, I’m not sure if it’s the fast bud genetics, the living soil, or a mixture of both, but I think the videos say it all, the deep green throughout, day 41 and just look😍. Everything’s been sitting nicely 24/7 Humidity 49~56%, temps 23~26c This week they all received there last top feed, along with a slight bit of defoliation, some massive fan leaves! slightly over watered as you will notice in one of the videos, but I won’t be surprised if they’ve grew another few inches over night.

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed the fourth week of flowering, the 7th week since the beginning of the vegetation. Now I can already say that we are approaching the grand finale. The plant looks really great, the large flowers have covered the branches and are starting to bend under the weight. The main cola is completely covered with flowers and looks impressive. The smell of Cherry Pie is now very intense, when I open the grow box the smell takes over the whole room even though the ventilation is still working. The leaves are still a healthy green color, it is obvious that the new nutrients Bio Grow and Bio Bloom Fertilizer are doing their job. The conditions on the Farm are good, the temperature is around 28 degrees while the humidity is below 50%. Watering is still almost every other day, they still need a lot of water. I continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. I am super pleased and happy to see how Cherry Pie looks, she really reciprocated my efforts to provide them with the best conditions I can. Here is a short review of the past week. 06/09/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertiliser and lowered the pH to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 08/09/2024 - Day 46. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. 10/09/2024 - Day 48. Watering. Same procedure. 11/09/2024 - Day 49. End of the 7th week from the beginning of the vegetation, or the fourth week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 49. - 73 cm. That's all from me for this week, next week I will photograph them on a black background. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

This week, I gave my plants more fertilizer to test if they show any signs of burning. Now, I'm stressed out! I think I should give myself some seaweed to relieve the stress 😂 The girls show signs of calcium deficiency. I sprayed a small amount of calcium and magnesium on them to help them recover faster. I’m not sure why the new leaves are very pale. Could they be lacking iron? I think the high soil moisture might be causing issues with iron absorption, but I’m not completely sure. I’ll wait and see what happens this week. Considering that I use regular water, I expected them not to have a calcium deficiency.

09-09-2025 Purplematic CBD is doing fine. I didn’t see any pests or plagues, and I’m really happy about that. I really had enough of the pests and plagues 😓😤😫 I also moved her to the garage. 14-09-2025 Checked her trichomes today: mostly clear. She is strong 💪 Maybe I can harvest her in two weeks?
