Vegetation: To keep temperature and moisture on optimal levels at around 23°C / 65% I'm using two mechanical timers.
- 24/7 on: Fans and water pumps (+Ventilation after 3.11.)
- Timer 1: Lights and Humidifier
18h on / 6h off
- Timer 2 (BROKEN 3.11.): Ventilation
18h (15min on / 15min off) / 6h off
NOTES:
Everything looks good and the roots have appeared from almost every (11/13) rock-wool cube.
From now on I'll mostly water the plants from bottom by adding the wanted amount of nutrient solution on a plate, and then placing the plant on top of for ~15seconds
This week I'm also starting to prepare the hydroponic systems (2x NFT-GT90, and 1x EBB-flow I think) and stronger nutrient solution since my plants are becoming ready to be transferred. Spreader-mat is the base of my plants when I have transferred them in to the hydroponic systems. DO NOT place more than one layer of the spreader-mat as it is not meant to be used like that! As you're cutting the mat for NFT's, be aware to have some extra for your peace to reach nutrient solution below the tray. That way you won't get noise from water dropping when systems are turned on.
Day 15 (1.11.)
Day 16 (2.11.)
First watering with a bit stronger nutrient-solution (~ EC 0,6 / pH 5,9) than before, starting with 50ml/plant and watering once from above. Slowly increasing EC to 0,8.
I cleaned and assembled 2 out of 3 hydroponic-systems which I'm going to use. I'll do the same also to the last system, but it currently has my plants on top of it so I'm going to do it later.
I want to make sure that my plants have built healthy and big enough root system before transplanting to hydroponics. I'm waiting for the rock-wool cubes to be bursting of roots so they won't drown on their first day in hydro. Also, as the plants are bigger before the transplant, I'm able to fill my nutrient-solution tanks full with correct strength nutrient-solution for Mid-Vegetation from the start, therefore no need for that much adjusting later on.
Day 17 (3.11.)
I noticed my other timer which controls the lights had stopped working... The lights were on when they shouldn't have been, I noticed it an hour after they were supposed to turn off. I think I caught up to it early, but it may have been on for maximum of 2 days straight. No worries there since on vegetation-phase the plants don't necessarily need any sleep (Even though you should avoid quick changes like that!).
Roots have appeared from the bottom of every cube and plants are looking pretty healthy. I think they are almost ready for hydroponics.
Day 18 (4.11.)
Few plants are showing symptoms of nutrient deficiences or some sort of sickness, not certain what exactly. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'll be transferring in to hydroponic systems in maybe a week, so I don't want to stress my plants more than what's necessary.
Increased my solution strength to 0,9 EC with a bit more Cal-Mag than before, and watered the plants for 50-150ml each plant depending on weight and size. I'll be slowly increasing the strength by around 50% during upcoming week. Thanks for tips!
Day 19 (5.11.)
Day 20 (6.11.)
Plants are recovering well from deficiences and I just transferred all of them to hydroponics. I don't have the water pumps on for 24/7 just yet, at this point I water them a couple times a day by keeping the pumps on for somewhere around 15min at a time. Lights are now set to 60% and I also added a tower fan to circulate the air and shake the plants.
Day 21 (7.11.)
Lights are now set to 70% since the Led's and plants are spreaded wider in the tent than before. Distance to plants stays the same at 75cm.

Hello Growers & Tokers!
Roots, roots, roots.
At the beginning of the week they got transplanted into their final pot, 11L fabric.
Medium used was Light Mix from BioBizz.
Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots.
They were a bit down after transplanting but by the end of the week they were doing better.
I'll leave her be for a week then I'll be topping to spread that canopy out and have loads of colas.
Or at least that's the idea but two of them seem to be growing faster than the others so I might have to die those tops down.
Take care out there and happy growing!

They've started to grow their first sets of leaves and although temperature was a little higher than I'd liked they're coming along nicely. You can see the difference from just three days growth and then 3 days afer that! Adding a small amount of bio canna vega and molasses.

Han aguantado a la perfección los errores de un novato en interior cómo yo😌 tuvieron un ciclo vegetativo un tanto turbulento con estrés lumínico, estrés por frío, hídrico también ya que las llevabas demasiado cortas de agua y causa de esto un ataque de araña roja 🕸️ a pesar de todo han florecido a la perfección dando 95g en seco de un producto de muy buena calidad 🤩
Ha sido un placer compartir mi primera experiencia en interior con vosotros. Con ganas de empezar el siguiente y seguir aprendiendo y mejorando

Hi Growmies,
I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening.
I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat!
A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here!
Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized.
A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world.
And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase.

I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

2 Opium Plants remain in my Outdoor Garden.
One sits in a 75l container, and stands near the house
the other Plant sits into 30 l container , in a corner in my Garden
Die Outdoor Girls are starting to flower, still in stretchmode
the Plant in the 75l container looks super impressive
the 30l girl gas a good spot to go on
lets see.
for any reason the system dont let me do another updates, so iam forced to do all updates at once in one week
2024-08-16
The Plants are stretching and building sweet flowers
Temperatures became perfect, with lots of Sun and warm weather.
2024-08-23
The Weather continues to stay very warm and sunny,
the Girls drink up to 10 liters daily, and they get some feedings with
organic more PK, because they need the Energy
2024-08-30
Both Girls doing fine,
the Plant in the 75l Growbag, is very thirsty and develops sweet Floweringsites.
the Girl in the 30l pot, has grown into the open Ground.
she was sticking her roots out of the holes from the growpot
i was wondering why she looks so fresh and green without getting nutrients, now i know why, she is sucking all good stuff out of open ground
clever, clever.
2024-09-07
In the meantime we had some heavy rain and Wind, i had to stabilize both Plants
the Girl in the 30 l Container was stretching so massively , she was growing one meter!! in short time
but she was blown the most, i had to tie her and she is leaning onto a bigger treee
i kinda forgot to save her from winds. but anyway, shes safe and goes on
The Girl in the 75l is safe for the moment
she shows already massive buds, next week i have to take pictures from above her
2024-09-13
Weather truned for summerly and hot, to autumn and raniy and cold
so i have to watch her closely, and hope for more warm / dry days, for her to finish up.
It weather continues to stay rainy- and she starts to mold, we will harvest
instantly.

The moment that the top slightly burned, does not soar, rather surprised that it is not massive,
because on top of more than 200,000 lux, the top left call fell off the leash and rested directly on the reflector for some time, but as we can see in the photo, a couple of flowers

Dear friends of growdiaries, welcome back.
The two automatic ladies grow up healthy and healthy .
Nutrients are doing a great job.
Unfortunately sharing the grow closet with 5 feminized, which are a jungle, is challenging and requires constant attention.
It was an experiment that I will not repeat, and due to the fact that in the balcony or in the garden the northern European climate would not have allowed a safe and lush growth, moreover, the neighbor bought himself a drone, what an asshole.
The distance from the lamp is 30 cm and I had to raise the pots almost to the tops of the other plants.
But the two young ladies are strong.
And my experience as a grower always finds suitable solutions.
See you next week.
Have fun and happy cultivation friends.

Both phenoe are pushing on nicely. Really good growth from both phenos from 1 seed, 1 had more girt. So, there wasn't an exact even growth ratio. But no pheno was hammered in any way that affected its push through pre fower and into mid fattening. I expect another 3-4 weeks and I'll harvest. Atm there's a nice Lemon exotic smell. Really dank. Musky (earthy). And popping off fruits. Really lovely set of plants.
Xpert nutrients are bringing out the best in my grows. They smell, taste and pretty much everything in that regard has improved. These are my new nutrients. As hard as I've been strain hunting. I've always used a different line of Nutrients per crop. And I'm glad to say. These are by far THE BEST nutrients I've used to enhance my crop.
Feeds
Are pretty much a week in week out with change (all explained with my weeks, DLI and other factors), master root/enzymes have been pult. Master Root no longer needed. Enzymes are all gone.
Maintenance
This wk, i applied LST bamboo sticks are have done some basic node bending to get the best out of the space in the area above and around its base. Some nodes where tied back to the sticks..
Shout out to my sponsors and all who stop by.

Week 7 began!
She’s gaining in bud size and smalls already crazy good. Until now I’m really happy with the genetic. She’s doing great and never had the feeling that she couldn’t take the stress.
I mean the pod is only 5liters(1.3gallons) large and the conditions are not the best.
Great genetic so far.

It's been a great week for the seedlings! They've really taken off and are looking strong. I'm planning to transplant them into larger pots in the next few days, so next week's photos should show some impressive growth. I'm so excited to see how they thrive in their new homes! I've been giving them distilled water from the start, and I'm still doing that, but I just started adding 10 milliliters of Fox Farm Big Bloom and 1 milliliter of Fox Farm Grow Big. All of the seedlings are doing really well, and there's not really any visible difference between all the ten strains. I started all ten packs of each strain and kept all the best seedlings, so that's why they're all doing so well.

Les colas commencent a gonflé j'ai enlevé les grosses feuilles pour une meilleure qualité lumineuse. Pas signe de surengraissage(les pointe des feuilles ne sont pas décolorés), plante petite mais compacte avec une odeur d'agrume verte laissons la dans sa course pour la coupe de DuctchPassion@ la suite au prochain épisode.

Day 49 of flower — Harvest season creeping up
Yo — quick GD drop from my 120×80 SCROG. Plants are looking proper: fat, frosty colas everywhere and the tent stinks so good. I’m switching to water-only from here — flushing the last stretch. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with the odd amber speck showing; I’d say the whole lot will be ready in ~7–14 days depending on how the last swing of amber develops.
Big realities: my garage is cold & wet (nights down near 5°C, RH ~80–85%), so humidity’s been the constant headache. Ordered a Spider Farmer heater to push intake under the canopy but delivery got delayed — super annoying. To avoid chill I’ve had to cycle the inline fan overnight and run a tiny cabinet heater to keep temps around 15–17°C, but humidity still spikes. Zero perfect conditions here, just making it work — and honestly the cold gave me some gorgeous colours on the buds.
Notes & general vibe: buds are tacky as hell — every time I touch a cola my fingers go sticky with resin. Little amber popping on the tricomes now, mostly milky — perfect for couch-locky daytime/ evening smoke depending on how much amber develops.
Strain-by-strain snapshot (positions + quick notes)
Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland)
Nice chunky cakes, early fatteners. Lots of resin, big rounded colas. Colours starting to deepen on leaves, smells super dessert-y under HPS — heavy trich coverage, finishing fast.
Back-center — Kush Crasher
The Kush genetics show: purple/burgundy stacks and dense nodal buds. Slow to bulk but super frosty now. These ones are gonna be super sticky and couchy — big terp punch expected.
Back-right — AK-47
Classic heavy producer — loads of colas, reliable chunky structure. Stretches a bit less, packs resin fast. One of the more even finishers in the tent.
Front-left — Double Krush
Longer skinny colas but dense calyxes — nice structure for my net. Terp-forward, stacking trichs well. Good contender for chop in the next week.
Front-center — Wappa (PARADISE) — main cola boss
She’s my star. Main cola is packing insane weight and is the most consistently chunky plant in the line-up. Colours are gorgeous — deep purples, dark greens, and a thick resin coat. Wappa’s bulking like a champ and will be one of the fattest buds in the harvest. Massive praise for this one — she’s the poster child for this run.
Front-right — Detroit Runtz
Frost city — tiny sugary calyxes and lots of sparkle. Slightly looser than the Kush lines but super resinous and fruity-leaning. Good final week filler.
Quick operation notes
Water-only from now on (flushing).
Trichomes: ~mostly milky, some amber; keep checking under loupe.
Humidity = main enemy. Heater + proper intake/exhaust under canopy will help once the SF unit arrives.
I’ll do final clean-up lollipop & remove any really dead/dying leaves before chop.
Final thought — for an amateur out of practice I’m stoked. Learned a few lessons (humidity control = everything), but the tent’s delivering fat, sticky, colourful colas. Wappa deserves a medal — she’s the queen of this round.
Green vibes✌️🌿

The plants have continued to grow very fast this week, easily doubling in size again. I moved them closer to the light to 80 cm from 90cm. Watering as needed and I am keeping the soil surface moist with light watering twice a day.
I fed some Biobizz Biogrow and some organic teas this week.
Low stress training was very effective and the plant responded well except one which stated quite short. I will see if it bounces back or it may be stunted.
