Grow diary for week 18: The final week
Hello, dear grower friends! I’m here with the final update on my plants in week 18. This is my first grow and I’m overjoyed by how it turned out. I’m thankful for all the support and feedback I’ve received from you and the “Wonderful Social Group”.
The harvest was delayed a bit, but today I have good news: I just harvested the plants and they look amazing. I will dry trim them, as this offers me the most comfort.
I’m happy to show you the buds in the following days, they are big and beautiful. It was a fantastic journey with many ups and downs, but I will definitely continue this hobby.
Apart from the help of this community, which was really fantastic, I met some great people and had some nice exchanges. I want to thank some people in particular:
First of all, the wonderfulsocialgroup, fantastic people, always available and helpful. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it this far.
Here is a link to the Instagram of the admin, just check it out and show some support, it would make me happy.

Secondly, I want to thank Dolfom, you were here almost every week and supported me. Your tips, jokes and sneakers will not be forgotten so easily. Thank you for all the love, enjoy your vacation amigo and see you soon :)

In the last harvest week of my diary, I will go into detail about my setup, what I was happy with and what not. Of course, I will also give ratings to all the products I used.
I have something very special planned for my next grow, so don’t forget to leave some love here and follow me for my next exciting adventure.
Good luck with your plants, the community here is crazy, love goes out :)

Well not really much too update everything is still going well i guess, purple queen is really slow with starting to set flower mode is that normal with this strain? Or I’m i just not patient enough 😅 sticky beast is going really well also going strong into week 5! My best one most be the runtz #1 that is in week 6 the other one is chasing it but like I said already i broke the main root (not all the way) while lsting her. I put some ducktape on her but i think she will take a little longer then the number 1

Man another great strain from Divine seeds . The germinating was fast and they were into the soil in no time , within a few weeks I had a great looking female plant . She was topped and trained well giving me 4 solid main branches . The bud development was fast and by the end they were very dense and sticky . I was doing organics for the first 2 months and then synthetic just to go and finish it on the brand Dutch science "bloom" . I was so impressed with the smells and growth that I went and popped another strain at home .. The consistent results made me want to try a other one and so I did . I'm hooked now ..

July 12: looking good. Starting force flowering which is 12 h of darkness at same time each night for 2-3 weeks to initiate flowering.
Doing ten hours of darkness (9:30 pm to 7:30 am) plus a ‘bonus’ two hours by using the far red light for a few seconds before dark which causes the plant to go into dark mode about two hours faster. So, it’s like having a 26 h day with 12 h of dark. This is a great trick if you have daily access to your plants.
July 15: doing fine.
July 18: Mimosa Shot has finally caught up in height to the other plant in the wagon (Sunday Punch EV).

Ahh shit, here we go again. After 2 month, I'm ready to grow again. This time it's gonna be Lemon AK, cuz its summer you know, not indica time. I'm using same lamp, same DIY growbox but with different reflective material. Gonna use Air Pot , i think it will be better than smartpot, will see. I have chosen some interesting combinating of nutrients for this plant, some from Advanced Nutrients and GHE, hope it works great.
First seed that i started to germinate on 23/6 didnt germinate, i guess it was my fault cuz have put seed in refrigerator, and temperature was bouncing between 7.8c- 14c degrees, i thing it was a problem, so no pretension to fastbuds, you guys are awesome.
Bought a new timer, set to 18/6 light.
3/7 Bought and started to germinate new seed, checked 24 hours later and its already opened, will plant after 48 hours, mb earlier.
7/7 Planted seed today.
9/7 After morning watering and turning on the lights, plant finally sprouted.
10/7 is first day, watering 2 times a day, on morning and evening. About 50-70ml under stem using syringe, rest 400+ml around plant.
Day 2 - 500ml with RootPlus.
Day 3 - 500ml with nutrients.
Day 6 - Switched lights from 18 to 20 hours. Fans are now turned on 24/7. Intake fan gives a plant some nice breeze. Had no time so watered at night, 1L water under and near plant, and another 1.5L all over pot so it can last until tomorrow after's morning.
Day 7 - Plant is showing great progress. No water today. New set of leaves showed up. Very happy with this week.
Peace.

Plant is growing well. Has weird black dots I think related to PH. I think the switch from whatever they had her on to living soil is just shocking her with the change in PH. I expect a recovery within the next week or so.
I noticed an absolute ton of mites in the soil. They had to of come with the clone, does anyone know if these are beneficial?
Been 12 days cooking the 3.0 top dress so I threw on two pounds of worms castings and transplanted. I also planted a ton of white Dutch clover seeds around the plant.
Happy growing and god bless guys!

Hey guys,
The things I did in this week.
Shamans:
- 6th week of flowering
- PH 6.3-6.4
- EC 1.7
As you can see I did a mayor defoliation on the Shamans, this was necessary because this week and in the comming weeks there was/will be many rainy days.
Therefore the risk of bud rot increases when having alot of leaves and not a propher airflow.
I switched spots between the two shamans and turned them 180 degrees so I won't get undeveloped buds on the other sides of the plants.
Done this many times before but forgot to mention.
Lollipopped them and got rid of some weaker branches.
Critical Kushes:
- 2th week of flowering
- PH 6.3-6.4
- EC 1.3-1.5
- Lollipopping
- Minor defoliation
All the plants had been sprayed with Canna Cure.

Outdoor coco 15g pots
Progress:
Lava cake is about week 6.5. Starting to ripen and get heavy. Buds are getting fat. Strong sweet cookie/ ice cream smell. Buds are getting more frosty. Buds are getting so heavy I installed a net on 3 of 4 and doing #4 soon. On my most mature plant - About 25-30% of pistils have turned color. Some trichomes are milky, none amber. Looks like plants are a few days apart.
Marathon OG week 5 1/2. Still stacking and getting fat. Smells dank. Trichomes are showing up. The 20 gallon OG is growing into a monster. I’m still waiting for the heavy bud stacks….
Nutes:
Bumping up ppm, the dry koolbloom and molasses, stopping regular koolbloom and grow. Looking to starting flushing the lava cake in a week or so. Feeding 2x a day; 3x on hot days.
Weather:
Had a good week of cooler temps until yesterday, when it was 97. Looking at hugs in the 80s this week, perfect.
Pests:
The moths and caterpillars are in full swing so I’m applying BT every morning. I’m working hard to reduce caterpillar 🐛 losses. We lost all of the top colas on a plant in another location 💔 . I’m only losing one bud at a time and not the entire colas so far.
Wishing fat buds and monster harvests to all.

Again only water for this last week, wonderful smell and nice hard and sticky buds, not too fat, but i did several toppings here! Im sure this smoke is going to be a hard hitter, i really love the final smell of this plant, nice genetics, i did noted a slight difference in the phenotypes, i still have another plant in veg, im sure i get some clones of that one and see if i keep her 😁
Soon we will harvest

Transplanted ( for the experience) but this one was smoother than the first one I did 5 minutes before ( banana cream sundae ) but everything’s is ok and I transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric pot with 30% fox farm ocean forest and 70% fox farm cream of the crop 50/50 mix so I can prevent overwatering on my end.

Today marks the start of the final week before harvest, and I’ve officially begun flushing the plant.
It's really exciting to see how far it has come. The buds have developed beautifully, and the scent is amazing – super fruity and sweet, almost like a mix of berries and tropical fruit.
The aroma fills the space every time I check on it.
I’m pretty satisfied with how the plant has grown overall.
The structure is solid, and the buds are dense and sticky. Everything looks on track for a good yield, and I can’t wait to see the final product after curing.
Fingers crossed for a smooth finish!
