Some light mania has me itching for projects. I have tiny pots, a bunch of free seeds and no space. Could I grow them by the window under a desk lamp? I might be able to tuck them into the tent if they actually grow for me. I want to try out some LST for cute bonsai-style trees. I’m not confident that I will have much success but this is purely a learning experiment. Let’s see how much I can abuse these autos 😅 - Sept 22 AM: Popped 3 Cookie Dog autoflower seeds into a glass of bottled spring water for a pre-soak of 14 hours. - Sept 22 PM: Put the seeds into folded paper towel, ceramic plate, more bottled spring water, uncovered in warm room. - Sept 23 AM: One seed has started to pop after only 10 hours! - Sept 23 PM: The seeds have all cracked but haven’t grown tap roots yet. I planted the 3 seeds into various small pots to finish germinating in seeding mix instead so I would stop checking on them in the paper 🙃 - Sept 24: nothing happening above ground. They are in the tent with lights 24/0 so I covered them with larger pots to give some darkness. Placed pots on a heating mat. - Sept 25 AM: the 2 seeds in the smallest pots have emerged! The were touching the plastic wrap when I checked on them so I hope they are ok. - Sept 27 PM: 1st seedling doing good, 2nd seedling still has her seed leaves closed so I’m misting her, and 3rd.. I accidentally flipped her pot over. She’s gone. First Impressions: Seeds germinated in soil after 36 hours, 72 hours from when I first left them to pre-soak and let the seeds crack in paper towel 24 hours.. that was 24-48 hours faster than the other test groups that used paper towel method until tap root formed and waiting for the germinated seed to emerge.. I might skip waiting for a tap root in paper towel going forward but I do like knowing the seed is viable before putting in soil so I know if it doesn’t grow it was something I did wrong. End of week thoughts.. Well.. I fucked around with these seeds too much, exposed the roots to light, let them almost dry out, dropped them, had the temps too low, the heating mat too hot, kicked out over.. 😅😅 I didn’t really give them a chance and yet still somehow I got 2 contenders in pint sized pots 🤷‍♀️the experiment continues..

So now we got some better pics of the manifold out of the tent! Yay! You can see how I defoliated her to allow as much light into the center as I can. I am adjusting her spot in the tent so I can position another one in the center, which should be groovy as the stretch is now pretty much done. Supercropping?! What!? In the 4th week of flower?! I know right?! But check it out, it was initially a mistake. I was doing a little LST and a bend went a little too far. So I got the idea, since some growers supercrop early in flower anyways - I am going to go ahead and supercrop that entire plant where the branches are too long anyways! Woohoo! The theory being, it can grow even gnarlier and more potent buds, and new bud sites where the supercrop occurs. However, doing it at week 4 is a bit iffy! But, we will see - it could turn out super rad! Fingers crossed! I took pics of the bended branches so you can see just how far along I am in flower and how they are bent. We will definitely be keeping an eye on these. So that puts us officially at the following plant tests: 1 Topped Once (4+ cola) 1 Topped Twice (Manifold - 8 cola) 1 FIM (8+ colas) 1 FIM + Supercrop (8+ colas) Going to be fun to see how it works out! ✌️

Critical x Animal Cookies is doing good now after the too much nutrition at start. It stunned her pretty good. She has been making good progress under the Hortibloom Solux 350 considering. I just switched light times today to 12/12. She got some training all around, and is ready to go. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🌱👍🏻🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This girl smells amazing...She was also pollinated a couple day ago with the SKUNK #1. I can't wait to grow those seeds. No complaints this week...It's rainy season here so I'm just working around that.

Plants took a tumble while I was at work and came home to everything laying on the ground like a robbery. I also learned that my plants wasn't burning but in fact when the tree hit the deck the 33C heat and the roof torched the leaves. The vertical growth is slowing as it only grew 4" in the week so far, next year I'll use 20 gallons for more growth. Just solid knowledge for next year as I wanted all 3 tree to hit around 6ft after the stretch and all the training. This is the only plant that hasn't lost any branches so I'm pushing desperately for 1.5lbs.

Ehi ragazzi scusate il ritardo di un giorno ma ho avuto problemi di famiglia. . Apparte questo la ragazza ha avuto problemi pure lei in quanto io stupidamente mi sono dimenticato per due settimane di somministrare "top Candy" il quale naturalmente era incluso nella scheda nutrizionale , ma io nn ci ho fatto caso e la piantai è andata in carenza Cal/Mag impressionante perché la sua genetica di crescita così esplosiva richiede , a quanto pare , grandi quantità di calcio e magnesio per costruire tutte le pareti cellulari di quel mostro di pianta che sta diventando... Poi nn è finita lì perché io ho sbagliato di nuovo dando il top Candy insieme a tutti gli altri più volte quando ho bagnato e mi è andata di conseguenza in overfert almeno per 3 o 4 giorni se non di più, quindi i tipici segnali che la pianta non cresce come prima etc... Allora cosa faccio?!! Chiedo consiglio ad amici e faccio un lavaggio veloce radici leggero e poi ho aspettato , ora ho iniziato di nuovo nutrienti , con basse dosi, e sembra che stia reiniziando a crescere .. mi dispiace 😞 solo che questo tempo perso di sicuro influirà sul risultato finale e sono triste ... Perché sono errori banali da principianti che hanno fretta o hanno a cui pensare e invece per queste ragazze ci vuole massima dedizione e nessuna distrazione! 😼. Apparte questo la pianta ha reiniziato a crecsere e ha un bellissimo colore viola intenso! È la prima volta nella mia vita che vedo una purple dal vivo ci credete? 🙂🐱😹 Come sempre ringrazio Mars hydro che sta rendendo possibile la crescita di questo mostro e di tutte le altre sorelle che vi farò vedere prossimamente ! Grazie anche a Sweet seeds per i semi che hanno un esplosione genetica XL spettacolare!!!! Buon 420 a tutti 😼🙏🧙‍♂️🌱🌿🌲💨

Flowering Week 26: Storm Battles & Resilience Update: 10.09.2025 | Day 187 Hey Growmies, Week 26 decided to throw some serious weather at us – rain almost every day mixed with strong winds. It was enough to blow my African lady right off her socks! Durban Poison took a full tumble under the weight of those wet, dense buds. Lesson learned: never underestimate a sativa in a storm. I reinforced the whole support setup – added more stakes and wired everything firmly to the fence in the back. Blueberry, on the other hand, stood strong like the queen she is – not even a lean. Strain Check · Durban Poison: Took that fall like an absolute champion. Didn’t skip a beat – just kept bulking up like nothing happened. The smell is now coming in strong, and the colors are getting wilder every day. Respect. · Blueberry: Her buds are swelling nicely and the colors keep intensifying. She handled the monsoon rains and wind like it was a gentle breeze. Starting to give off a faint smell – still subtle, but it’s there. Next Steps · Continue weekly mineral feeding – they’re responding really well · Stay on storm watch – check support structures regularly · Keep an eye out for pests and mold (still all-clear, thankfully) That's it for this week Growmies! Catch y’all next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. 🙏 The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

It was very tiring all the work, but I am satisfied with the result .. Although I know I could have gathered about 2 kg more.

Day 100 from seed by far the healthiest most stacked plant in the tent, very dense nugs, strong citrus and berry smells kinda like blueberry lemonade, I'm very impressed to say the least.

These girls are growing fast! They grew 8 inches this week, and the light got turned up to 6. While applying LST, I broke the two top branches of one of the smaller plants. I fixed it with masking tape.

The Lemon Haze Auto is cruising along nicely this week! 🌿 She’s looking healthy overall and seems to be fully focused on doing her thing – stacking up trichomes and building those buds. The smell is really starting to develop too – classic hazy notes with a zesty lemon twist in the background 🍋🔥

These girls are ready, going to leave them for a few more days. The smell is sweet and pine, hope it’s good. There’s lots of small to mid sized buds, really did my best to bush her out, my hard work is going to pay off. I usually wet trim and never tried a dry trim.. will be doing a dry trim on these.
