Hello Diary, Titan F1 is developing incredibly fast, I think he will be the first ready to harvest. It reached just over 50 cm in height, which is great for smaller spaces like mine. It has a nice pronounced main cola and branches filled with nice hard flowers. She looks really impressive. The leaves are of a healthy dark green color, the smell has become more intense, which gives me special pleasure when I open the grow box. Watering has become more frequent, every three days each plant on the Farm receives about 2.5 liters of water. I continue adding Bio Flowering Booster and Easy Bloom tablets. Conditions on the farm are good. The temperature is around 28 degrees, while the humidity is around 45%. Here's what it looked like last week. 06/06/2023 - Day 38. Watering. I added all three components from the Bio Flowering Booster. pH I lowered it to 6.0. Each plant received about 2.5 liters of water. 09/06/2023 - Day 41. Watering. This time I put one Easy Bloom tablet in 7 liters of water and watered all three plants on the Farm with that amount. 10/06/2023 - Day 42. End of the sixth week. I photographed the plants and removed three or four yellow leaves. Titan F1 - 52 cm That's all for this week, thank you all for your support and see you soon.

Skywalker OG — Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy Week 7 From Seed | Week 2 Flower Structural Defoliation + Clip Release + Stretch Acceleration ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (Current Reality) • 🌡️ Day Temp: ~28°C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.9 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: 40–80 cm • 💡 LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28°C in flower. In practice? Understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (Why 28°C Is Not “Too Hot”) Under LED: • No infrared radiation blast like HPS • Leaf surface temp typically 2–4°C cooler than room So: • Room ≈ 28°C • Leaf ≈ 24–26°C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD sits beautifully in early–mid flower range. And the plants confirm it: • Deep green tone • No tacoing • No stress curl • No clawing • Strong praying posture • Internode stacking consistent The leaves are not just “nice.” They are metabolically comfortable. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation — What Actually Happened I didn’t trim for aesthetics. I reset the architecture. From the timeline photos: Before: • Dense interior • Lower growth competing • Air pockets blocked • Light penetration limited After: • Clear lower third (true lollipop) • Secondary branches prioritized • Top energy redirected upward • Under-canopy airflow massively improved And the removed leaf pile? That tells the story of biomass management, not plant stress. Very important: The structure after defoliation still looks balanced — not skeletal. That means you removed intelligently, not emotionally. ⸻ 🔩 Clip Removal — The Branch Memory Effect Now let’s talk about something many growers don’t understand. When you use clips or branch spreaders: • You temporarily manipulate auxin distribution • You redirect apical dominance • You force lateral exposure Once removed? The plant reacts in 24–72 hours. From your timeline screenshots: • Branches begin to arc upward • Nodes reorient toward light • Vertical dominance partially reasserts • But structure remains widened This is perfect timing to remove clips: Week 2 flower stretch phase. Why? Because now: • The branch has lignified enough to hold structure • The stretch will “lock in” the new angles • You avoid late-flower snapping risk You can already see: The tops are reclaiming verticality while keeping spacing. That is textbook. ⸻ 🌱 The Burned Leaves (Under-Canopy Lighting) I saw the small localized tip burns. Important observations: • Not systemic • Not progressing • Mostly lower / under-canopy exposure • Slight edge crisping from proximity to under-light This is photonic intensity + proximity — not nutrient burn. Your EC at 2.9 is high compared to your other girls, yes. But here’s the key: They are eating it. Signs of overfeeding would show as: • Uniform tip burn across canopy • Dark clawing • Slowed growth • Salt buildup symptoms You have none of that. Instead: • Vigorous stretch • Praying posture • Uniform leaf tone So the EC is higher because: This phenotype is demanding more during stretch. That’s not excess. That’s appetite. ⸻ 🚀 The Stretch Now let’s talk genetics. Week 2 flower is just the beginning for these. Expect: • 1.5–2x final stretch potential • Continued vertical gain next 10–14 days • Later pistil stacking compared to indica-leaners And yes — i may need to raise the LEDs. At 60 cm now? They are not done. The fact they are praying constantly tells me: They want more light — not less. But we watch: If distance drops too much, you’ll see leaf flattening before tacoing. That’s your early warning. ⸻ Two Plants — Two Personalities You can clearly see: One Plant : • More structured • Tighter node stacking • Slightly thicker leaf The other Plant : • More vertical aggression • Strong apical reclaim after clip removal • Haze-like frame expansion This is why running multiple phenos is beautiful. We’re not just growing. We’re studying expression. ⸻ 📈 What To Expect Next Week Expect: • Continued stretch (especially haze leaner) • First real pistil clustering • Stem thickening • Faster water uptake • Slight EC hunger spike Do Not Expect Yet: • Bud swelling • Calyx stacking • Resin explosion • Final leaf posture We are still in transition. This is architectural week — not production week. ⸻ ❤️ And The Leaves… You’re right. They are beautiful. Wide, defined serrations. Strong petiole angles. No mottling. No interveinal chlorosis. No stress striping. They look metabolically confident. That’s the best compliment a plant can receive. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude Section To everyone: • The OGs who’ve been here since seed • The new growers learning through mistakes and wins • The silent readers • The loud critics • The Grow Diaries community • The platform hosting the journey • The sponsors supporting education • And every single person watching this experiment unfold This is not just a grow. It’s documentation. It’s learning. It’s transparency.

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.

Olá companheiros de cultivo! Esta semana parece que as plantas estão a desenvolver muito bem, estavam sob 20 horas de luz, reduzi horário para 18/6, e adicionei na semana passada bactérias que se chamam bactohemp e deu um óptimo resultado na vegetação de todas as plantas principalmente a shiskaberry, fiz LST para obter mais produção e estão a crescer galhos por todo lado nunca tinha visto uma planta assim 💪💪💪 espero que tudo dê certo estava com medo de ser macho porque estão a crescer galhos e mais galhos 😅 mas já apareceu uma pré-flor, a runtz muffin tb fiz LST tb está muito bonita a desenvolver muito bem, a BlueBerry OG também está uma planta muito forte, vou esperar mais uma semana para ver o desenvolvimento.. para depois pôr estas meninas a florir, obrigado amigos 💪💪🌳🌱🍀✌️

10/06 - Starting week Feeding: -BioProtect -Bloom Complex (2.5ml/L) -SuperVit . -pH 6.35 EC 601 I added a temperature and humidity sensor to the Pi, and a moisture sensor that warns if the value does not exceed a certain threshold. The plant is rising too much, soon I will be forced to take action. My grow is only 1.60m high. As from the last photo of 10/06, I folded the stem of the plant to allow it to stay inside the grow box. 13/06 Feeding: -Bloom Complex (7.5ml/1.5L) -pH 6.18 EC 1085 14/06 The plant has become too high, I have to bend it again and drastically this time. I decided to apply the supercropping technique. 15/06 The plant seems to have reacted well to supercropping, and is giving off purple hues on the flowers. 17/06 - End week Feeding: -Bloom Complex (7.5ml/1.5L) -pH 6.8 EC 1500

Growing well so far. This week I added some LST to encourage outward growth. Things started to get a little wonky towards the end of the week bit once she starts to stretch out i think she will look a little neater.

My little skunk apple runtz lady man I am disappointed so far with this plant not much can be expected from a pollen chuck seed I made myself but I think it will have nice smoke in the end just not alot most likely The day has come and it's time to flip these ladies to flower. I was planning on letting them go untill Friday and let the smaller ones grow just a bit more but they will be fine. I have the eternity cup contest in mind and I'm thinking timing so I need to get these lady done and out my tent lol. This past week I turned the light up alot getting them ready to flower they have grown a bunch inhavendone lst maybe 5 it 6 times on the branchs and they arw nit bendy anymore that will help durring flower.

Harvest went great but couldn't be happier with 12 oz of off of this girl. I did take a clone that I'm going to try to reveg. I think it's awesome that she turned out to be a photo. At 50 days she was selling those signs of flour until I say River in to 1212 flower lighting and she took off

Well uhm this week has been a trip and a half the plant doubled in size and started bleeding black and purps ! it's my first experience growing a black strain so please forgive me if I gush more than warranted. anyways, no defoliation for her, no training, no nutes as of yet, but she does have the slightest bit of nutrient burn on the leaves, it's not spread or got worse so i'm happy. Still watered her with my micro and beneficials mix and sprayed her some with my red micro and kelp foliar spray, she seems to really need and like the micro. Also she's drinking one more watering a week, that's 3 waterings a week now ! What a great grower so far, i wouldn t be surprised if I'm chopping her down in 3 to 4 weeks ! thanks for dropping by and please do drop me a message or a suggestion if you have any...

Rough week for the rainbow melon. Giant limb from my maple tree crashed down on my two far pots in the group. The plant survived and should recover but lost a few weeks of growth. It did not get hit as bad as the bubblegum next door and managed to keep one of the main tall stalks. She was looking so nice before the damage and just starting to bush out too. But luckily that branch coming down opened up the sky quite a bit and the other two plants not hit are gonna do even better now and the rainbow melon should recover okay. I almost wanted to replace them but I will learn more from seeing what happens next and comparing to the other unaffected plants. Fed with compost tea, kelp and cal mag mix 700 ppm.
