For the Grow section on my page: Throughout the germination stage, I explored three distinct seed germination techniques: the direct soil implantation, immersion in a hydroponic medium, and the classic paper towel method. My tests involved the Gods Gift autoflower from Premium Cultivators, Northern Lights from Royal Queen Seed Bank, and the F1 Epsilon strain, also from Royal. My primary focus, however, has been on the F1 Epsilon strain. As part of my shift towards commercial operations, I'm currently pushing the potential of these seeds to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. I'm in the midst of identifying the optimal strains for my commercial venture. My objective, quite simply, is to strike an optimal balance between quality and yield for my future cannabis crops. With astute business planning and leveraging emerging laws, I plan to provide these products at a significantly lower price than my competitors. End of Germination Stage - Staring Vegetation Stage Day 9 - I inadvertently oversaturated my plants with nutrients, which led to the immediate demise of two plants. A key lesson learned was that utilizing old woolite medium is not advisable. Instead, using dirt plugs proves to be a more effective method. Moreover, it's crucial to ensure that nutrients are introduced directly into the water supply to avoid any potential harm to the plants. Additional Note: For enhanced root stability and quicker access to the water supply, it's important to situate the dirt plugs deeply within the pebbles. Also ensure germination process as follows: 12 hour soak, drop into soil plug deep into hydroponics pebble medium.

increasing nutrient doses, monitoring EC and pH doesn't bear fruit, I think. Training also takes its toll and the girls flourish. We will continue to feed and observe... Second half of week brings quite intensive growth. Continue with LST, because need light penetration and some leaves out with same purpose. What does next days bring? I am exciting...

This week she just recovered from a snap I had while training her smh was going so smooth. This the 1st time I ever snap the main steam but now she seems like she is bouncing back. 2nd week flower feeding schedule and temps been great day and night will have to get a heater soon the temps have been real low where I live so sometimes temps drop lower then I would like to. This my 1st time putting a auto-flower under 12/12 conditions normally do 18/6.

10.06.25 BT#41 Guten Abend liebe Growmie's ✌️ Da bin ich wieder mit der Caramba von Paradise Seeds. Wir befinden uns am Blütetag 41 der Lady geht es sehr gut die Buds nehmen Form an. Heute gab es wieder Nährstoffe Hesi Blüh Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2,5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Ihre Wasser Aufnahme hat sich deutlich erhöht. Ab BT# 45 werde ich alle Nährstoffe langsam runter fahren das ich die letzte Woche nur noch Ph angeglichenes Wasser verabreiche. Dann geht es für 2 Tage in die Dunkelkammer danach Erfolgt der Cut🙂 Fand den Grow sehr sehr entspannt definitiv ein Strain für Beginner der euch einiges verzeihen wird , sehr resistent gegen Krankheiten oder Schädlingsbefall. Jetzt geht es langsam in die Heiße Phase ab BT#50 wird das Taschenmicroskope gezückt die Tricome mal abchecken und immer regelmäßiger schauen wie sie sich verändern. Jetzt freuen wir uns auf die nächste Woche mit neuen Updates bleibt Gesund and Stay high. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😁 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 10.06.25 BT#41 Good evening dear Growmie's ✌️ Here I am again with Caramba from Paradise Seeds. We are now on day 41 of flowering and the lady is doing very well, with the buds taking shape. Today she received nutrients again Hesi Bloom Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2.5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Her water intake has increased significantly. Starting with BT# 45, I will slowly reduce all nutrients so that I only administer pH-adjusted water during the last week. Then it's off to the darkroom for 2 days, followed by the cut 🙂. I found the grow very, very relaxed. Definitely a strain for beginners that will forgive you a lot, very resistant to disease or pest infestation. Now we are slowly entering the hot phase. From BT#50, we will pull out the pocket microscope to check the trichomes and look more and more regularly to see how they are changing. Now we are looking forward to next week with new updates. Stay healthy and stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 😁

It’s almost time! This week both plants are getting flushed to prepare them for harvest. 🌱 After that, they’ll be cut down and hung up to dry. #2 has developed an absolutely massive main bud — honestly the biggest I've ever had so far! Meanwhile, #1 stands proud as the tallest plant in the tent, still giving off that amazing sweet, tropical aroma.🍍🍬 Both plants have shown a very fast flowering time, finishing up quicker than expected! Upon checking the trichomes, about 65% are milky, 30% amber, and 5% still clear — exactly where I want them for the effects I'm aiming for. Super excited to see the final results after the dry and cure💚

This was another fun grow! Lots of people got these seeds as freebies so there were lots of diaries with good information! 👍 The grow went very smooth although they did take several weeks longer than Seedsman's estimated time. Some were able to grow much larger plants in the expected time. 😕 I'll get that down. The plant with Terpenez does seem a little frostier and did grow a little larger so for now, I do recommend Zelda Terpenez. It also tastes good. Not harsh at all. I plan on doing several tests with my grows to determine what products work best. 😁 👉👊 HAPPY GROWING!! 👉👊

Had my fair share of issues this week with the lsd25 auto. growth has almost completely stopped. I had to move her to her own 1.2m x1.2m tent as she outgrew the 1m x 1m closet. Shes been in a constant droop. Leaf tips curled down. Growth slowed right down. brown spots and yellow lower leaves. Made alot of changes so hopefully she perks back up now. Shes a beast!

I just recently made a growdiaries account and wasn’t able to get one of my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds. But I was really happy with the results and wanted to show it off a bit. I ended up with 105 grams dry from the 1 autoflower plant alone! Also mid grow as I was entering the flowering stage I broke one of the bigger stems during lst so I know for sure I would have pulled a QP off of her alone. Really happy with that and not to mention the quality of nugs I got off of her.

Sorry for the poor quality photos this week. I will update it at some point when I can get some photos in the dark with the flash on. With the tent being so packed and the plants under a net it's very difficult to get any quality pictures. Powering on and fattening up. They've had roughly 30 flowering days and I'm expecting mabey 20 more. Some of the biggest buds have foxtailed but I'm not too upset. They are so huge and I'm only expecting them to get thicker from here on out. Updated photos with an A4 sheet of paper behind them to try and show how wide the buds are on these girls. They are a bit airy at the moment compared to the Pinapple Express next door but with 2-3 weeks left I'm expecting them to bulk out.
