The Grow Awards 2026 🏆

[ Introduction ] Welcome to my first ever grow journal! I have been growing medically for the past couple years, documenting some of my grows on my Facebook and Instagram (@OnlyTomatoes) pages, as well as several cannabis cultivation subreddits. I've found that I do a lot of things differently than other growers, so I'd like to share a full cycle publicly in case I have the answers to somebody's questions. [ Updates ] Day 4 - Lights have been lowered to 18 inches off canopy, dimmed to 25%. They've recovered from both their transplant and their topping, new growth looks almost perfect. I'm going to keep the accidental sunflowers for a few more days and see if there's any significant difference between plants. They all received a foliar spray of neem, kelp, and a bit of calmag before lights off yesterday. I expect to be able to remove the remaining damaged leaves by the end of this week. Day 7 - Lights increased to 30%, C02 increased to 800ppm, getting ready for week 2 of veg. Fed today, fairly low EC (<1.5) blend of Silica, Calcium, Kelp, Molasses, and Tribus Grow in a mixture of R/O and tap water. Very little runoff at 1gal per pot. Will most likely foliar again before lights off with a light fish hydrolysate mixture to help with any nitrogen issues. Any dead or dying leaves you see are from pre-transplant, I'm just waiting a few days longer for the existing rootballs' ph levels to swing back to a healthy range before removing all that unsightly growth. I'm really not sure when I'm going to remove the sunflowers growing in some of the pots, I've seen no negative effects yet. I could flip group 1 into flower if I wanted, the canopy is level and beautiful, however group 2 will take a while longer to fill a canopy. [ Grow Details ] Plant Count: 64 (Clones) Mother Age: 17 Months Strain: Gelat.OG (Phenotype 5) Breeder: Seedsman Hunter: OnlyTomatoes Veg Time: 3-5 Weeks Flower Time: 65 Days Training: Multiple Toppings Final Pot Size: 5 gal (Fabric) [ Room Details ] Room Size: 21'x9'x11' (190sqft, 2100cuft) Canopy Size: 10'x9' and 5'x9' (135sqft) Lighting: Grower's Choice ROI-E720 x6 (dimmed to 25% power during veg) Cooling: Cooper&Hunter 36k BTU Minisplit Dehumidification: Quest 225 Equipment Controllers: TrolMaster (Lighting, Cooling, and Dehumidification controls), AutoPilot (C02 Controls) Watering System: Manually controlled drip irrigation, x2 1gph drip emitters per pot [ Pre-Veg ] These poor clones have lived an abused life during 2021, sitting around in solo cups for over 2 months waiting for a new home. Normally I would never allow pre-veg plants to have such obvious deficiencies, but constant hand watering led to some poor nutrient decisions on my part. They've been in their final pots for a few days now and were topped on day 0 of veg. I plan on lowering the lights to 18"-24" within canopy around day 3, I'm just allowing some extra time for the roots to really dig in. I've found that a batch of dirt that was used had sunflower seeds in it, possibly winter food storage from an outside rodent, so I'm debating how long I will let these sunflower seedlings grow alongside my plants. They do make a good cover crop with amazing root systems, I just don't think that really applies in pots of this size where plants can choke each other out.

Esta semana añadimos el otro led ts 1000 para seguir regulando (añadiendo más potencia lumínica) Agregamos paja,para una mejor retención de la humedad y no se seque primero la parte superficial de la tierra (uno de nuestros mayores errores al querer calcular si todo el cepellon está seco o sigue teniendo algo de humedad,por consecuencia,al volver a regar ,sigue con ese pequeño exceso de humedad) ,con el objetivo de conseguir una mejor vida en nuestro suelo ,con todos los nutrientes orgánicos y la clave,enzynabis,crearemos una buena simbiosis,y lo más importante,natural.

Bubba Kush Mintz Autoflower is growing great. Took to the neem treatment well. I trimmed her up, and she is ready to stretch a bit more I believe. Everything is looking great, she will likely be ready for a solution change in about a week for the bulking stage. Thank you Spider Farmer, Athena, and Aeque Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Week 3 of flower So we had a power outtage due to a storm that came through. Lost power from 10a-6p which is most of my day cycle. So there is that. The plants looks really well. Noticed a bit of spotting so I added some cal/mag with my last watering. Buds are hella frosty you can definitely see the Banana Butter cups coming through. Thanks for stopping by please leave a like and tips and advice are always appreciated.

week 5 of MD XXL flowering 😎 2 of the yellowing unhealthy plants are recovering after all, i wonder if they will get as nice as the one which did good from the start but well see. At least i can see some trichome forming on the 2 yellowed plants so with still a couple of weeks left i hope they recover. Not realy much more going on, im getting the hang of giving water, i just wait and lift my pots to feel if they need water or not, they usualy get a watering each 1.5-2 days 👍 Also temperatures around here are alot more bearable now so thats good.

Greetings from Russia to my comrades! I was busy with work for a long time and could not deal with my diaries. Now I'm free and ready to devote every day to my plants. I have a lot of plans. My mom is coming to the end of 6 weeks. She feels great and cheerful, develops well, visible progress. While I do not train him, and give him free growth. I gave my plants the enzymes, together with the chief stimulator and the main force, Then I fed the plant folic acids under the root and on the leaves. Soon I will make my girl an intimate haircut. And in a few weeks, I'll be making the third tier of the pot.

Really stacking nicely now. Added a UV light bar to the setup - going on for 1 hr / day total, in 15 min every hour increments in middle of day.

Let up all but a couple ties on each plant, definitely the mains are let off. Just kept a couple for airflow that will be unpinned eventually. Topped and supercropped a few taller branches to make the canopy even. Finished taking out the larf at the bottom, adjusted the lights brighter. Topdressed them with Build-A-Flower. Fed them their first non-casting fertilizer, Build-Bloom @ 1 tsp. http://twitch.tv/jaindoh

------SETUP------ -HOMEBOX TRIANGLE+ .4sqm -BOSSLED LIGHTS 250W REAL -INTAKE FAN HIGH PRO - 107 m³/h -EXHAUST FAN PROFAN - 220 m³/h -TWO SMALL VENT FANS -HUMIDIFYER WHEN NEEDED -AC IN THE ROOM -15L SMARTPOTS -50%PERLITE 50%SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS ------STRAIN------ SEEDSMAN BLUEBERRY = SM BB. Blueberry was originally created by Canadian DJ Short and dates back to the 1970s. It is a 3-way indica-dominant hybrid cross of an Afghani strain together with Thai and a Purple Thai. When grown in good conditions it can grow into a fairly large plant displaying a range of red, purple and blue colours and producing very good yields. Another quality of Blueberry is that, although taking a while to cure out, when correctly prepared and packaged it has a very long shelf-life compared with many strains available today.. /BOUQUET Unsurprisingly when fully-cured Blueberry has an incredibly fruity perfume along with the unmistakable sweet flavour of blueberry. /EFFECTS The effect is a pot smokers dream - a very potent yet happy high which is very euphoric yet relaxing and enduring. ------GENERAL COMMENT------ The first 7 days of this grow is almost complete, Blueberry and the AK47 germinated fine, had some issues with the Candy Kush Express, so the last seed is germinating, and seams that it will emerge soon! I'm optimistic, so basically till now we will do a free seed run, since this ones came with the genetics I purchased from seedsman and gyo green. 😎😛 -251217 First feed with a very light nutrient dose. Will implement some cal mag next water. Humidity has been a little hard to control, is oscillating a lot. ------SM.BLUEBERRY COMMENT------ Development is ok, nothing overwhelming for now, lets see how things evolve. Still not convinced of the easy plugs, kind of hate them, direct soil seams more effective. 👍

Amazing growth. Pleased with these new LEDs. Lollipopped & defoliated, tried to leave some on the bottom, will probably pick a few more off this week Reducing lights to 11/13 and then to 10/14 at week 6. Trying something.(Emulating an autumn/fall environment with temprature drops also) Hopefully I can get the nice purple colours to come out. Will also be adding Deep Red now. UVA has been on all flower.
