Smells amazing! Survived some mad heat towards the end of flowering. still looking so frosty! 4 plants Harvested and we got 9oz plus an Oz n half of shake n small buds. update in few weeks once its cured out for abit! Thanks for following! 👽👽

Sun 16 Oct 2022 Harvest is nearing, looking for amber Trichomes to appear.

Yooooo what is up guys! Welcome back - in to week ten and the zkittlez has been harvested. Cloudy trichs all over and about 10/15% amber so went with a chop today. Wet weight of 628g for the plant roughly. Including a bit of stalk weight, which I’m chuffed with. 🙌🏼 She’s on to dry now, so stay posted for post dry weights. I’ve taken off the majority of fan leaves but left all the sugar leaves for a dry trim and to help slow the drying process. The Runtz still has a few days or weeks left in her. Just waiting for those pistils to stop sprouting and some further clouding up of the trichs and then chop chopppp! Thanks for stopping by 🤟🏻

Vamos familia, actualizamos la séptima semana de floración de estas Terp & Tonic de Seedstockers. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-25 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas pues estas últimas semanas cogimos un poco de trips y pues ahí ando combatiendo con planchas pegajosas de color azul, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Las flores se están llenas de tricomas y van hinchando, aún con la plaga, por el momento todo correcto. Hasta aquí todo lo de esta semana , ya será la última semana ,buenos humos. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

In week 4 the plant kept growing to a real dense bush so I continued the LST and did some little defoliation every 2-3 days like in week 3. Additionally I started giving some Alg-A-Mic to help the plant handling the high temperatures (up to 35-36°C) inside my box.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 11 | The Queen Finally Gets Her Portraits 😂👑📸🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week... WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS. 😂📸👑 Yes, my friends. After somehow managing to lose the individual photographs of our Queen for two consecutive weeks, I can finally confirm that Godfather OG Pheno A has officially returned to the photographic record. And because I felt slightly guilty about the previous weeks... I gave her TWO stacks. 😂👑📸📸 She deserved it. After all, she spent two weeks basically saying: "You keep talking about me, but where are my pictures?" 😂 Fair enough, Your Majesty. Here they are. And honestly... looking at these images, I'm very happy we made the effort. Because this girl is developing beautifully. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still doing absolutely everything in her own way. But now we can actually look closely at what she's been building. So let's give the Queen the spotlight again. 👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 11 – THE QUEEN KEEPS MOVING ──────────────────────── Not much changed physically for the plants this week. And that's actually the point. The room is established. The plants have their structure. The flowering sites are developed. The environment is stable. The irrigation is running. The nutrition has been adjusted. The lighting has been upgraded. And now... we let them work. Godfather OG Pheno A is continuing to grow and develop in exactly the same room as everybody else. Same environment. Same general strategy. Same lighting system. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Different genetics. And once again, she's showing us her own interpretation of that environment. She's not trying to become Blueberry Muffin. She's not trying to become Cash Express. She's not trying to become Chem Brûlée. She's Godfather OG Pheno A. And she's doing it her way. 👑 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE QUEEN FINALLY GETS HER PORTRAIT SESSION ──────────────────────── Okay... I have to admit something. This week wasn't exactly a massive photography week. I didn't spend hours photographing every plant from every possible angle. But when I got to Godfather OG Pheno A... I looked at her and thought: "Nope. She deserves at least two stacks." 😂 So that's exactly what we did. Two stacks. And I'm really glad we did. Because macro photography gives us a completely different way of looking at the plant. Suddenly, the canopy becomes a landscape. The flowers become mountains. The trichomes become a forest of tiny structures. And those beautiful orange and white pistils weave their way through everything. Looking at these images, you can really see how much resin coverage she's building. The flowers are absolutely covered. The sugar leaves are coated. The surface of the buds is sparkling. And the more you look... the more there is to discover. 🔬🌸💎 ──────────────────────── 💎 A CLOSER LOOK AT HER RESIN ──────────────────────── This is probably the part of the photography that makes me stop every time. You take the image. Then you zoom in. Then you zoom in again. And suddenly... there are trichomes everywhere. 😂💎🌿 Godfather OG Pheno A is showing some beautiful resin development. The macro stacks reveal layers upon layers of trichomes sitting across the flower structure. Some areas look almost completely covered. Others show the green floral tissue underneath, surrounded by sparkling resin. And then you have those pistils running through everything, giving the flowers that beautiful contrast between green, white and orange. It's one of those moments where photography becomes more than simply documenting the plant. It becomes a way of seeing something that your eyes simply can't appreciate in the same way. The naked eye says: "That's a frosty flower." The macro stack says: "Look at ALL of this." 😂 🔬💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 👑 STILL THE SAME HUNGRY QUEEN ──────────────────────── And yes... before anyone thinks the Queen has suddenly become polite... No. 😂🍽️👑 She's still hungry. Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of the more demanding phenotypes in the room. That characteristic hasn't disappeared. If anything, it has become part of her identity throughout this run. She's a large plant. She's got a substantial structure. She's supporting a lot of foliage. She's developing flowers throughout that structure. And she's using the resources available to her. That's one of the things I find so fascinating about running multiple phenotypes together. We can give the room a consistent foundation... and then watch the plants tell us what they think about it. Some are quieter. Some are more compact. Some are more relaxed. And then there's Godfather OG Pheno A. 😂👑 "More, please." She hasn't changed her position on the matter. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT STORY ──────────────────────── This is really the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One general environment. And twelve completely different conversations happening between the genetics and that environment. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us one of the more obvious examples. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's substantial. She's built her own architecture. And now she's developing flowers across that architecture. The environment hasn't been specially designed for her. She's adapting to the same environment as everyone else. And that's exactly what makes the comparison interesting. We're not trying to force every plant into the same shape. We're observing. We're documenting. And we're allowing the genetics to speak. This Queen has certainly found her voice. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 💡 MORE PHOTONS – SAME QUEEN ──────────────────────── And of course... we have another major change to talk about this week. The room is now running with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available light was more than we wanted to run at full output. So instead of simply throwing everything at the plants... we reduced the power. We're now running approximately 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. And I really like this setup. Because we're not chasing maximum power. We're creating capability. We have more lighting available when we need it... without needing to run every fixture flat out. That means more flexibility. More control. And, importantly, no reason to waste electricity simply because the fixtures are capable of producing more. The Queen doesn't need us to turn the room into a miniature sun. 😂☀️👑 She just needs access to the photons she can actually use. ──────────────────────── ☀️ PHOTONS MEET PLANT ARCHITECTURE ──────────────────────── And this is where Godfather OG Pheno A becomes particularly interesting. She's around 169 cm tall. She's not a small, compact plant. She's a three-dimensional structure occupying a significant amount of vertical space. So when we talk about ~1,500 PPFD at the upper canopy, that's only part of the story. The light interacts with the entire structure. Leaves intercept photons. Some light passes through. Some reaches deeper. Some reflects. Some is absorbed lower in the canopy. And then we have the additional Lumiflora lighting helping reach areas that naturally receive less direct illumination. The plant isn't a flat surface. She's a living structure. A three-dimensional photon-catching machine. 😂💡🌿 And this Queen has plenty of surface area available for those photons to meet. ──────────────────────── 💡 FUTURE OF GROW – A BIG THANK YOU ──────────────────────── I also want to take a moment to give another big shoutout to Future of Grow. They supplied the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test in this adventure, and they've made a very interesting difference to the lighting capacity of the room. The beauty of having more available power isn't necessarily running everything at maximum. It's having headroom. It's having options. It's being able to distribute light across the room while controlling the actual output we're using. And right now... ~59% from the plug is giving us the ability to work around that ~1,500 PPFD upper-canopy target. That's a pretty impressive amount of light without needing to push the fixtures anywhere near their maximum. So thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures through their paces. 💚💡☀️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES ──────────────────────── And now that we actually have photographs again... I think the flowers deserve a little attention. 😂📸 The macro stacks show a plant that is clearly well into her flowering development. The floral structures are established. The pistils are developing beautifully. The resin coverage is becoming increasingly obvious. And there's that wonderful mixture of green flower tissue, white trichomes and orange pistils that makes every macro image look completely different from the one before it. This is the stage where I really enjoy documenting the plants. Because the changes aren't always dramatic from one day to the next. But put photographs from different weeks beside each other... and suddenly you can see the story. The plant has changed. The flowers have changed. The resin has changed. The structure has changed. And all those small changes add up. 🌸💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌿 LITTLE INTERVENTION – LOTS OF OBSERVATION ──────────────────────── Just like with the other girls... we didn't do much physically this week. And that's intentional. The major structural work has already happened. The plants are flowering. Healthy leaves are still doing their job. The flowers are developing. The root zones are being supplied. The environment is stable. So there isn't much reason for me to walk in there every day looking for something to cut. 😂✂️ Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is... nothing. Watch. Observe. Measure. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant actually grow. Godfather OG Pheno A certainly isn't asking me to interfere. She's busy enough doing her own thing. 😂👑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ FEEDING – THE MENU HAS BEEN INCREASED ──────────────────────── This week we also increased the nutrition slightly, just like with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom moved from: 🌱 2.2 ml/L → 2.3 ml/L The rest of her current feeding remains: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required That small increase brought the room EC up a little. Current EC is around: ⚡ ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... the Queen is probably happy about this. 😂🍽️👑 Although I wouldn't be surprised if she sends another royal request next week. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues to remain very stable. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h And again... the numbers are only one part of the story. The most important thing is how the plants are responding. And Godfather OG Pheno A is responding with: 🌿 Growth 🌸 Flower development 💎 Resin 🍽️ Appetite 👑 Personality That's a pretty good report card. ──────────────────────── 💨 SAME ENVIRONMENT – LET HER WORK ──────────────────────── At this point in the run, my main job is becoming increasingly simple. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep the airflow moving. Keep the lighting where we want it. And observe. The plant already knows what she's doing. Godfather OG Pheno A has spent the entire run building the structure that she's now using to support these flowers. So now we get to watch the payoff. All those branches. All those leaves. All those photons. All that root activity. All those days of growth. Coming together in these flowers. That's the part of the grow that I love. 🌿➡️🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔬 TWO STACKS FOR THE QUEEN ──────────────────────── And I think the two macro stacks were absolutely justified. 😂👑📸 After two weeks without her own photographic feature... she was owed. And honestly, these images remind me why I love doing stacked macro photography so much. A single photograph can show you a beautiful flower. A focus stack can reveal an entire world. Every tiny trichome becomes visible. Every little variation in the surface becomes part of the image. You start seeing structures that you simply don't notice when standing in front of the plant. And with Godfather OG Pheno A... there is certainly plenty to look at. 💎💎💎 So yes. Two stacks. Because apparently the Queen's photographic allowance had been accumulating interest. 😂👑📸 ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── Now we continue watching. The plant is established. The flowers are developing. The resin is becoming more obvious. The nutrition has been increased slightly. The lighting environment has been expanded. And the Queen is still doing what she does best. Growing. Eating. Flowering. And occasionally making me feel like I'm not feeding her enough. 😂🍽️👑 I'm curious to see how the flowers continue developing from here. I'm curious to see how the resin expression progresses. And I'm especially curious to see what the next macro session reveals. Because now that we've finally got her photographic record back... I'm not losing it again. 😂📸 I hope. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE QUEEN IS BACK ON CAMERA ──────────────────────── So... Week 11. And for once... we actually have individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A. 😂👑📸 After two weeks of photographic disappearance, the Queen has officially returned to the camera. And honestly? She looks fantastic. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still building. She's still catching photons. And she's still developing those beautiful flowers that have made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. The room hasn't changed specifically for her. The environment remains shared. The lighting has been upgraded for the whole room. The nutrition has been increased for the whole room. And yet... she continues to interpret everything in her own way. That's the experiment. That's the beauty of phenotypes. Same room. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different expression. Different story. And Godfather OG Pheno A is definitely writing her own. 👑🌿💡🌸💎🔥 This week, she finally got her photographs. Two beautiful stacks. And I think we can all agree... she was worth the wait. 😂📸👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these different phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore what this expanded lighting setup can do. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep everything under control behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to be such a fascinating experience. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. 😂👑 She's hungry. She's demanding. She's tall. She's beautiful. She's covered in developing flowers and resin. And apparently... she also expects a proper photography budget. 😂📸👑 Fair enough. She earned it. So let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching the flowers develop. Let's keep documenting the differences. And most importantly... let's let the Queen shine. 👑🌿💡🌸💎🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 And this time... I actually have the photographs to prove it. 😂📸👑

🚀 Week 8 Overall | Flower Week 3: Taming the Beast! 🌿 What’s up growmies! Hopefully you are enjoying your Christmas time 🎅 Today is December 29th, marking the first day of Week 8 overall and the start of Week 3 of Flowering. The stretch has been absolutely relentless! Even after my last adjustments, the girls were still pushing too close to the light. Today, I had to do some final low-stress training (LST) and bending just to maintain at least a 20cm gap between the tops and the LED panel. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this is the final week of the stretch—I’m officially out of vertical space! Recap of the recent "Rescue Mission": • Heavy Lollipopping: I’ve cleared out the entire bottom section (the "skirt") to maximize airflow and focus energy where it matters. • Canopy Management: Raised the AC Infinity net and thinned out the jungle. It was a massive defoliation, but necessary for the plants to breathe. • Organic Strategy: I’m still seeing those yellow tips from my initial soil mix mistake, so I’ve started adding Organic Silica to help the plants handle the light stress and strengthen their structure. The plants are looking much more manageable now, even with the minor nutrient burn. Now it's time to stop the vertical growth and start stacking those flowers! 🌸❄️ How's your end-of-year grow looking? Any advice for the Week 3 "stretch-ender"? One Love & Happy New Year, growers! 🇯🇲💚

Day 36 second day of 12/12 and no signs of flowering yet. Foliage is growing like crazy, but some could get an idea of how this is going to be a screen of green. To be exact - this will be a scrog plus four adult plants in the corners of the tent....😁. .......basically meaning : i've wasted time enough to cultivate 4 Plants 😯. Considering the experience from my last grow (rather indica-type bushy plants) i will overthink my method of scrogging for future grows. 1.) Build a frame to get a real tight netting 2.) Installing the net as soon as possible 3.) No more supercropping, LST or whatever....... only use the net to steer directions of growth 4.) Strictly remove fan-leafs, taking light from any other shoot this way i'll be able, to make better use of the shoots and branches pointig away from the center - whether mighty big sativas or small bushy indicas........ i'll have way better controll ........hopefully😎 Nutrients: i'm on 50/50 growth/bloom fertilizer...... to get N down i'll fill up with bloom only during the week and leave away GROWTH completely when changing the nutrient-solution next time. Day 39 Visible signs of flowering…….. Time to give a P-Boost! Cut down N and raised P, so it should be something like 10-40-35 (N-P-K; roughly). Next week i‘ll switch to regular bloom-nutrition. The young ladies look wonderful. Shoots galore! Not too much of a stretch yet. Day 40 Lollypopped carefully and took some fan-leafs out the canopy. Tomorrow i'll remove weak branches from the canopy and organize my entire scrog. Now that'll still leave me with 4 trees standing in the corners........ and i made a decision: I'll cut'em!!! .....then i will try to make 'em clones and reveg them. This way i might have some pretty little plants, when spring arrives😎. Wonder wether they can produce roots fast enough to keep the entire top alive. Since this is just an experiment i'll keep it nice and easy - ill make a clean, diagonal cut and put them into a ALL ESSENTIALS-solution (0,3 g/l), then they'll have a cosy place on the floor of the tent while light's on and will move to my livingroom for the rest of the day. Either theyll show roots or die trying.... I'll let you know:-). Day 41 after getting so little N, getting the legs shaved and the hair cut, the young ladies look a bit pale.... nevertheless they drink like crazy and keep growing. Organizing the scrog was easy - now 80 of 81 squares are filled and hopefully i'll find a branch i can weave into the last one....... ROOTS!!!! there are roots reaching out of all 4 buckets into the reservoirs....... but yet the drainage seems to work........ wonder wether it will effect the water in the reservoirs....... reservoir No. 4 is way darker tha the rest........ maybe the pump didn't get the last drop when i changed solution (day 39). now it's time to let them recover a little bit and then i'll chop off their heads 😯. right now i got the idea of cooking some soil in the oven -to get it bug

Things are going pretty well, i guess 😄

Week 12 and the finish line is getting close! The buds are looking noticeably denser now, with great resin production and healthy colors throughout the canopy. The Green Sensation and CO₂ seem to be doing their job. It's always rewarding to see a grow come together after a smooth flowering cycle. Looking forward to seeing the final swell and harvest results.

These girls are looking like they are sprayed with fake snow...lol so sticky icky to play with. Took off a lower outside branch for scoping and these girls are looking close. They have signs of some amber and we are gonna let them go a bit longer to harvest closer with the alien tech hopefully. They definitely didn’t like being neglected a little bit and ph/Ec swung a bit in the middle of flowering and cause some issues a bit, nothing major though. Definitely not for the beginning grower that’s for sure, very finicky...lol got the nutrients lowered for the last week and then there getting the chop! Lol got more girls needing the room, but there looking good. Till next week, Cheers 💨

Harvest Week The Strawberry Gorilla has officially reached the finish line. After the final flush, it took her another six days to completely dry out the pot, giving her plenty of time for one last fade before harvest. By the end, she looked absolutely beautiful. The buds had stacked nicely along the branches, creating chunky and heavily frosted colas despite some heat-induced foxtailing. What surprised me most was how quickly she finished. For a Strawberry Gorilla, I expected a considerably longer flowering period, but she matured remarkably fast and was clearly ready for harvest. Overall, a very smooth finish to a great grow.

Sensi seed Northern lights x haze day 39 of flowering going well no mayor concerns , increasing nutrient levels to ec 1,6 - 2.4 fertigating daily and supplements like amino’s, silica and calmag once a week

Week 3 flowering. Buds are slowly forming, plants still going good, cold weather is hitting my area now, hope it won't last long, might extend flowering period by a couple days if it stays this cold.

This week they hung out of the tent to catch some natural sunlight ☀️ Fast and steady growth keeps increasing, with Bruce being the clear standout. Extra bushy and huge, huge leaves! Very impressed by her structure at such a young age. Curious to see her evolution. Sherbet is also on a very good track, can barely tell she had an issue to begin with. Biscotti also going strong. Let’s keep it going 🚀

Que pasa familia, empezamos la primera semana de floración de estas Original de GrowBarato. Y es que no veáis de un momento a otro se quedaron sin espacio, vaya estirón esta última semana.

🌱 GMO Cookies Auto — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run started under a 12/12 from seed approach, pushing these autos into a slightly different rhythm compared to traditional schedules. From early on, the focus was on building a strong, healthy structure without over-intervention — letting the plant express itself while guiding it gently. Through the vegetative phase, they developed into compact but well-branched plants, with a natural bushy structure. No aggressive training, just light leaf management to maintain airflow and light penetration. As we transitioned into flower, everything started stacking quickly — and now here we are, mid-flower, with the plants fully committed to production. ⸻ 🌿 Week 5 Flower — Current State This week, they’re looking beautiful, full, and alive. • Structure: Bushy, dense, well-filled canopy • Bud development: Stacking nicely across all sites • Resin: Starting to frost up properly now — visible increase day by day • Overall health: Strong, stable, and responsive There are a few minor light stress signs — slight leaf tip burn from the LEDs — but nothing concerning. It’s the kind of stress that comes with pushing intensity, and the plants are clearly handling it well. And the standout feature right now: 👉 That main cola. It’s already separating itself from the rest — bigger, more dominant, and showing real potential. Definitely one to watch over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding Dialed and stable — exactly where we want to be: • 🌡️ Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Humidity: 60% • ⚡ EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 Instead of chasing generic room VPD charts, the focus remains on leaf VPD and plant response — and honestly, the plants are confirming everything. The rule stays the same: Plants speak louder than numbers. Right now, they’re not just speaking — they’re thriving. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) Light levels are being pushed into a productive range: • Average canopy: ~1000 PPFD • Top colas: up to ~1200 PPFD • Full room range: ~800–1500 depending on plant height The variation comes from canopy differences — taller tops naturally receiving more intensity. And the key point: 👉 They’re handling it comfortably. No major stress, no slowdown — just steady development and increasing resin production. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Things are moving fast now — this is where the magic really begins. Over the next week, we’re expecting: • 📈 Increased bud swelling and density • ❄️ Noticeable jump in resin production • 🌸 Stronger aroma development • 🏆 That main cola to really define itself This is the phase where small daily changes start becoming visible differences. ⸻ 🤝 Shoutouts & Gratitude Big love to everyone walking this journey: • 🌍 The GrowDiaries platform • 💬 The entire community — here and across all platforms • The genetics behind this run • 🤝 The supporters and partners • 🌱 The new followers joining the ride • 🐺 And the OGs that have been here since day one Energy matters — and this one is built on shared passion. ⸻ 🧠 Final Thoughts Everything is flowing naturally right now. No forcing, no chasing — just reading the plants and moving with them. There’s something special building here… and we’re right in the middle of it.

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.

5/11 I DID NOT WATER. A COUPLE LOOKED DRY BUT STILL HAD HEFT AND I COULD FEEL MOUSTURE IN THE SOIL. I should've taken more pictures. I forgot it's a new week. Oh well. I'll be back over and I'm planning to bring the girls outside for the first time if it warms up a little more. It's windy as fuck but I can put them in the garage with the doors open. As long as that's not the direction of the wind. I raised the L.E.D light and lowered the hps. I also TRIED to FIM a 10th planet and an mk ultra. I may have just topped them. We'll see how it turns out before I do anything to the others. Pink kush grows slow and compact. Very similar to my experience with purple punch. I have two plants that have slightly twisted leaves. Nothing else is wrong with anything. Looking at the stippling on the leaf I think it might just be either low humidity or slight wind burn or a combination of the two. Now that I've looked again I think it might just be the first 5 finger leaf on those pink kush that I mat have mistaken. I'll keep an eye out. I feel better having done some research. I'll put some more pictures up and I'll update what it is that I get done. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AROUND THREE. EVERUTHING LOOKED GREAT AND THE LEAVES WETE PRAYING ON SOME. I MAY NEED TO WATER SELECT PLANTS TOMORROW. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR. LOWER THE HPS AND RAISING THE LED WAS A WISE CHOICE I THINK. OH AND THE "TWISTED" LEAF I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS NOTHING. JUST THE FAN TO CLOSE AND A FOMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY AND MINOR HEAT STRESS. ITS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WANTED TO BRING THE GIRLS OUT TODAY. ITS SUNNY AND 60° BUT THE WIND IS WHIPPING! WE'VE GOT GOOD WEATHER COMING UP THOUGH WITH TEMPS IN THE 70'S. I THINK TOMORROW ILL CLEAN/SANITIZE THE CAGE AND WASH/SANITIZE THE GROW BAGS. 5/12 Looking and lifting some of the pots I found some that were pretty much totally dry. I watered the majority of all the plants. If soil was moist I left it alone. If it looked a little dry I gave it a little water. I didn't measure the water but it wasnt even ALL of what I had left from LAST WATERING (which was like a qtr gallon If that). I just don't want to over water. The ones that I went light on last time were the ones that were dry. Plants seem to explode after watering but this wasn't nearly as much. Everything is looking great. It's easy to tell these are all indicas due to the structure and leaf shape. Much different than even the Chem Dog #4 which doesn't LOOK as "indicay" as some of the others. I wanted to bring them outside today but it's only 50 out. I'm not going to make the same mistake as years past and stress the plants. When we get a nice warm day I'll bring them out. Other plants are ready to be topped or fimmed but I haven't done it yet. Also need to clean the cage and wash the bags. 5/13 It's 60° at 9am so I think the girls will be going outside for a little bit. Didn't fully water but I used what was left of the gallon and gave them that. Some are much drier than others. I'll probably give them a full watering tomm. I only gave them a little today because I didn't want them drying out. I FIMMed a Special Kush today. WE'LL see how the hst turns out. EDIT: WENT AND BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR FOUR HOURS IN INDIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE TENTH PLANETS WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD AN ISSUE. JUST MINOR HEAT OR LIGHT ISSUES WITH A COUPLE FAN LEAVES. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMED LIKE THEY SHOT UP IN SIZE. THE LARGER CONTAINERS STILL SEEM KINDA MOIST BUT SOME ARE DRY. I NEED TO GET ON A STABLE WATER SCHEDULE. ITS HARD WITH DUFFERENT PLANTS OF VARYING SIZES. STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. 5/14 One plant was super light today and was a little droopy. I WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY USING APPROX A HALF GALLON. I brought them outside for the second day. I left them out for about 3hrs. It's hot today. I'm still floored that chatgtp gave me exact directions for hardening my plants off at my exact location taking the weather into consideration! That is awesome. They're all doing good. Pink kush is the slow starter this year. Kind of like purple punch was. The only plants that had ANY damage on them was the two 10th planet's and its not really damage. It's just a LITTLE mottling on the leaf and the serrations pointing down. It's weird because this strain did great here last time. The Special Kush #1 and the Pink Kush would probably be fine to leave out soon. Hindu Kush parents make those strains extremely resilient. The one chem dog #4 looks out of place with all tjis big fat indica leaves. I'm hoping the topping and fim-ing will take. It looks like it will. 5/15 Everything is looking great! I have some work to do bit then I'll be over to bring the girls out for a few hours. I'll edit this when I do. EDIT: BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR THREE HOURS TODAY. I THOUGHT THE TENP WENT DOWN TO 73 BUT TUAT WAS INDOORS. OH WELL. THEY STILL DID GREAT! THEY WERE ALL LOOKING OUT OF THE LEAN-TO LIKE SUNFLOWERS! THE STRAIGHTEN OUT AFTER BEING UNDER THE GROW LIGHTS. I'M PLANNING TO CONTINUE TO HARDEN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. STILL NEED TO CLEAN BAGS AND GROW AREA. I HAVE 'A' CAMERA DOWN. TRIED TO FIX IT TODAY BUT I WOULD GET RO THE LAST PART BUT THE CAMERA WOULDNT READ THE QR CODE ON MY PHONE. I EMAILED THE COMPANY BUT IF I DONT HEAR BACK BY TOMORROW AND I CANT FIX IT ILL JUST BUY ANOTHER CAMERA TO ADD TO THE SYSTEM. ITS THE OLDEST CAMERA I HAVE AND ITS DONE ME 5 GOOD YEARS. MAYBE ITS TIME TO RETIRE IT. 5/16 I watered a few of the girls this morning with a small ring around the pot. I brought them outside and am leaving them for 3.5 hours today in the lean-to. They get indirect light without all the wind this way. I'll slowly increase the hours outside until there is enough daylight for them to go outside without revegging. When I put them out I noticed that a few were light and since it was close to 80° I watered most everything. I used under a half gallon. I'll see how they do from here and then move forward. I fixed my down security camera and secured my cage. Now I just need to finish hardening off, clean/sanitize bags/environment and put them in tjeir final homes. I'm not rushing it though. I've learned my lesson with that. 5/17 Plants did great yesterday and were perky and praying this morning. It was HOT yesterday too. Got into the low 80's. It's 57° degrees at 9am and it's overcast and sprinkling. I haven't decided if I'm going to bring the girls out today. It might be a good day to try some direct sunlight. I'll update whatever I decide to do.
