Tras acabar la segunda semana de floración así se presentan las pequeñas. Hemos ido defoliando alguna hoja de la parte baja de la planta, aireando un poco a las niñas por la zona baja . Las plantas ya empiezan a mostrar sus primeras bolitas y empezamos a añadir en la solución top Candy y pk13-14 para ver engordar esas bolitas💚.

I tried Nana Glue and wow, it was immediately noticeable how strong it was. The high made me feel quite euphoric and creative at first, then slowly transitioned into a real physical relaxation. Towards the end, I was definitely paralyzed on the sofa, not overly lethargic, but definitely cozy and calm. The smell really surprised me: at first, very gas/diesel notes, plus an earthy, woody component. Sometimes there was also a slightly sour scent, almost like overripe banana. The taste was similar: gas and diesel dominate, with a hint of sweetness, banana, and in some phenotypes I tasted slight dark chocolate or coffee accords. There was also something malty and spicy in the aftertaste.  Visually, the buds look pretty impressive to me: lots of resin, really sticky, dense, thick trichome layer. Green with often darker/purple hues and orange hairs.

She is growing healthy and strong. I turned her around a little bit, because they start moving around and I read that is good for them. I hope the pictures can show how fast she is growing. :)

Week 2 of Veg... OK!! So she's not doing well and I'm scratching my head a little if I'm honest... Since I upgraded to the taller tent and the Telos 6 Pro Slimline all of the plants have been doing AMAZING apart from her! 🤦‍♂️ The growth on all the others is MASSIVELY accelerated While she just sits there moaning her bag off & I don't know why!?! 🤬 Now I know that they're not identical in terms of genetics as they are 3 different species of plant (Cannabis, Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes & Sweet Peppers) however they are VERY similar & the other 6 have no signs of burning or stress from excess nutrients or any other environmental issues like temperature or humidity problems. It is Day 16 - 30/05/21 My temperatures and humidity have stayed SOLID for the last 6 hours while the lights were on, they are at 120cm height from my babies as recommended... Temps 24-26c Humidity 70-75% They have all had the exact same weak feeds just 2 small mixes from day 10 onwards, the only difference is I have ran roughly 1L of just pure PH'd water through the Cherry Gar-See-Ya seedling as she looks like she has been burnt to crap!!! The plan now is just to leave her alone and see what happens, Let her dry out a bit and then just a drink of water when she wants it... On a good note she is standing up on her own without support now so I'm hoping she can pull through and this will only knock me back a week or 2 which is fine now I have the extra height to play with 👍 Hopefully I'm doing the right thing by her but some helpful comments right now would be VERY welcomed as I'm still a noob and new to growing 🤓... ...Eager to learn though! 🤔 Potgoblin 🌱✌️

She is still alive and very little bit growing in last few days, still making roots anyway so didnt wait any grow with this weather. Week was pretty cold night temps mostly 2-4 and day temps 11-14. Dont want to take it inside i just want to see how they react at outside.

******** Week 9 - Feb 3 to 9/20 (Days 57 - 63 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs are turning this week. Kind of a boring week in a way because she has been such an awesome girl to grow!! Have not spent anytime looking at Trich colour this week.....too early anyway. Trying to keep her environment correct so she is happy and those buds swell. Continue to reduce the temperature slightly during the day and night as well as lowering the humidity. She is a very pretty girl and has certainly impressed me now at weeks 7 to 9.......this is a learning grow though because I was not sure what to expect in weeks 3 to 5 but now understand the genetics better. Growing another girl in a 1 gal pot at the same time, just short of 2 weeks behind, and learning from that girl as well so we know the best way to run the last 4 seeds. Hint......I don’t feel 1 gal pot will be the winner and suspect a 3 gal might be the one for me and my style. What I have reflected on is that this girl has been very impressive to grow even though I have thrown curve balls at her. A little more attention to the LST ensuring a more even canopy and lighten the feedings, this girl can impress!😍 She didn’t like the light intensity in early weeks and preferred a lower pH. Given that she was slow growing at the start I was unsure of how far to push LST and obviously should have tied down her main cola but she was more resilient than I gave her credit for. On bigger branches I would clip off another one of the lower nodes than I did to give a little more energy to fill in the tops. Not sure this girls top cola will fill in as much as one would like but her side branches are making up for it and will definatley add to the weight.........take your time girl😀 Much debate this week over how long she will run in order to determine her last feed.🤪 She had her last feed three times😃 but it was finally Saturday Feb 8, Day 62 as the last day of feed. Plan it to just flush with water and Rezin & Liquid Weight to the end.....or early 70’s anyway if she will hold out that long🤞 She still has several nice white hairs but the red guys, drying, did happen a fair bit this week. She is ripening up. Almost picking up speed but hard to say.....my guessing so far has been off when trying to read this girl so “I am just along for the ride” hope she has a couple more weeks in her yet.😁 The long lanky grows often have you wishing they would have stayed just another 6” shorter.😀 Had to keep the lights higher in the tent to accommodate this girl and now tough to raise as high as I would like for Skywalker. It’s all good though as she is filling in along with the other girls👍She has pretty buds to look at but they are not swelling as much as I would like yet. Hope that comes soon and will continue to lower the temps. Environment is getting colder at night. Crystal production has been strong and very impressive! Changed the light schedule again this week. Moved her to 19.5 hours of light because she is still not falling to sleep at lights out. Given she has been very green and tips were burnt a fair bit, will likely use Flawless Finish to flush the medium. Little more detail: Feb 3/20 - Day 57 - Water feed today. Runoff in tray was 5.95pH from yesterday. - 3L plain water with Sensyzime @ 1.5ml/L. 100ppm and 6.4pH going in. - still trying to raise the medium slightly to over 6.0. Sensyzime to clean up the roots and eat the waste making more food. - Her red hairs are coming out pretty prominent now on some buds. Feb 4/20 - Day 58 - Full feed today. Pot still had some weight. - 3L off full feed with 1125ppm and 6.05pH - Runoff water in tray before feed: 800ppm and 6.1pH - Runoff water in tray after feed: 1000ppm 6.0and pH - Heavy leaf strip today. Almost anything with a stem was removed. Feb 5/20 - Day 59 - nothing today. - She is ripening more now. She is happy and her tips are up:) - Red hairs continue to come out towards the top of the girl. - Light cycle changed to 19.5hrs on and 4.5hrs off. Feb 6/20 - Day 60 - Verify medium today....close to flush - 3L feed of Sensyzime and Rezin @ 2ml/L and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L. = 100ppm and 5.8pH - Runoff was 1050ppm and 6.05pH. Feb 7/20 - Day 61 - Nothing today, still heavy. - She appears to be swelling more on her buds. Feb 8/20 - Day 62 - ********Last Feed******** - Giving a bit of a flush with Sensyzime, Rezin, and Liquid weight @ 2ml. - 6L feed with 100ppm and 5.8pH going in. - Runoff - 600ppm and 6.15pH. Good numbers but wouldn’t mind the ppm around 1,000. - Evening giver her last full strength feed as listed for the week. - 2L feed going in was 5.7pH. Want to try and keep it around the 6.0pH mark as she seems happy slightly lower pH. - Medium got a good soak and good runoff amount - That will be it. Hope she goes 10 to 14 more days.... Feb 9/20 - Day 63 - Dry out day - raised the light a bit.....will use lower pH water in flush thinking 5.8. - She has some nice buds. She has fattened up and her buds are forming “tips” now. - Again....frosty frosty girl. Hope we can drag out harvest day until Feb 22 or 23rd.......🤞😁.....Thanks for the read and hope you have a smooth week!

🌸 Sundae Driver — Week 9 Flower / Week 12 From Seed When the plant decides it’s time… you listen! Another beautiful, crazy, unforgettable week in our Sundae Driver adventure! The tent has been full of aromas, colors, and emotions — and this week brought a little surprise twist. Our Pheno #2, the bold one, the heavy one, decided she couldn’t hold her own weight anymore and literally bowed to gravity. When I arrived, half of her was on the ground, saying: “It’s time, my friend. Harvest me.” And honestly, she was right. Perfect trichomes, perfect colors — it was exactly her moment. So, we harvested her with love, laughter, and respect. Sometimes, nature tells you what to do, and all you can do is listen. We didn’t dry her whole as we usually do — since she broke herself in half, we had to go with a different approach this time. A reminder that every grow has its own personality and surprises. We took it as part of the adventure and had a good laugh about it — because in the end, that’s what growing is: learning, adapting, and enjoying every step. Meanwhile, her sister Pheno #3 is still standing tall and absolutely shining. She’s thriving under the LUMATEK, with her buds swelling beautifully, trichomes sparkling like sugar dust, and her structure holding strong (for now!). 🌱 Nutrients & Environment This week we’re keeping the mix balanced — still using the Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, together with Aptus Regulator and CalMag Boost. Our pH sits nicely around 6.1, EC around 0.7, and the soil is still rich enough to carry the girls through these final stages. Temperatures hover around 28°C, humidity slightly high at 60+, but both phenos have been adapting beautifully. 🌿 About the Harvest For Pheno #2 — the early harvest wasn’t planned, but it turned out perfect. The trichomes were milky with just a few ambers, the aroma intense, and the density incredible. This shows that sometimes the plants truly know best. Her colas were so heavy they couldn’t stand anymore — that’s a good problem to have! 💪 Super Crop & Structure The earlier super crop training clearly paid off — the buds on the bent tops were some of the thickest and frostiest of all. It’s beautiful to see how resilience leads to strength; those stress points turned into power centers for growth. 🧠 What to Expect & What Not to Expect • Expect Pheno #3 to keep maturing beautifully over the next week or two — trichomes are developing wonderfully, and aromas are getting more complex by the day. • Don’t expect her to rush. She’s taking her sweet time, and that’s perfectly fine — every flower deserves her full moment. • Expect me to keep double-checking the branches — after what happened with #2, I’m making sure no more girls decide to “self-harvest” behind my back. 😂 💬 P.S. — About Holding the Weight For those reading this — always support your branches properly during late flower! When the buds get heavy (and believe me, they will), the stems can only handle so much. It’s always better to tie, stake, or net them before nature makes the decision for you. Trust me, it’s a funny story after the fact… but quite the shock when you find half your plant bowing to the floor. 💬 P.P.S. — About Super Cropping & Experimentation For anyone afraid to try new techniques — this is living proof that super cropping works beautifully and that plants are incredibly resilient. Don’t be afraid to experiment, to bend, to learn, and to adapt. Each grow is a new journey, and your plants will always reward your courage with lessons and beauty. 💚 Final Words & Gratitude As always, I want to send a massive thank-you to everyone following this journey — the readers, growers, dreamers, learners, and friends who stop by the diary. Your presence, comments, and good vibes make this all worthwhile. A special thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics, LUMATEK LED for the incredible light performance, Plagron and Aptus Holland for the outstanding nutrients and additives, and of course TrollMaster for helping keep everything perfectly dialed in. And to everyone out there — whether you’re just starting or have been growing for years — remember that every plant, every week, every harvest teaches something new.

In my experience, mango is a bit hard to to achieve the best looking and tasty smoking buds. I had to do many extra stuff at the end, gave a lot of stress to plants. Fortunately, everything worked out so well, the stress doesn't interfere with the taste much. It smoked very good, hit heavy indica with tropical kush taste. Lastly, Within a control environment with proper knowledge, I did all of these in my whole plant cycle : LST, HST, chiropractic, stem splitting, extreme cold stress, and total darkness.

Day 43 12/08/24 Monday Feed today, it was warm again so they drank the whole 300ml each so I have topped up another 150ml to see run off to prevent salt build up. All thriving 😍✌️💚 ACOP and Melonade Runtz structure is stunning 💪 Divines Overdose is getting chunky and showing nice stack potential 👌 Leaving these to just run there natural course, will allow me to best pick my next SOG run with micro autos indoor 😎 Video update Day 45 14/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 48 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Orange bud is tall!! Top her next time. Critical orange is lovely and compact. Overdose is nice and compact, Melonade Runtz nice compact structure also. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚

Hello Bros and Sis! How you doin? I'm back with some amazing strains from Royal Queen Seeds (thanks goes to James), Biological Seeds, and finally have the pleasure to try Humboldt genetics! YAY! Let's start saying that I've upgraded my tent to a 0.90*0.90*1.60m (3*3*5ft), so more space for the beauty and a more neat space for work&play! 😍 This time I've want to grow some Kush, to see and taste what everyone talk about, and something classy like the Royal AK (never tried before) and UK Cheese Auto, I wanna try with my own hands the speed of the fast flowering Speedy Chile and Candy Kush and make a jump into CBD's strain with the Pink Doctor... that's all, guys!😀 The girls are 1 week old and seems fine. A little stretch for them beacuse I prefer that than an heat stress caused by the MH upon their tiny heads. I try to follow the "Organic path" as much as I can do, and don't feed the plants until they really needed to, and I guess they don't ask for because the soil of choice is Plagron Allmix. I enriched some lightmix by Biobizz with 25/27gr of Vertafort pellets, for the Pink Doc that hasn't popped yet, so maybe I'll upload some new pics in the next days. As usual come and say Hi! Ciao!

Here we go! Day 1 Kosher cake 15-05-21 Today for her, is the first day under the light 🙌🏻 I hope she grows up healthy and strong. I added a quarter of Biobizz's recommended dose of Root-Juice (1ml / L) I start to give less, and then increase in the next few days so as not to be aggressive with the baby. 👶🌱 I will be uploading new updates soon! Day 2 16-05-21 ..There is not much to say, the plant continues to grow and seems to like his little house 😋 Day 3 17-05-21 The girl is loving her life! 🌱💚 today I added (1g/1L) of Micro-vita to the recipe, to ensure that it is able to assimilate better nutrients and it has beneficial bacteria and fungi available for the protection of roots and for general plants growth. I also added a quarter of the prescribed dose of bio-heaven (0.5ml/1L) to start with the amino acids .. we are still at the beginning but surely he had a great start! see you at the next update! 😊 Happy growing to everyone! ☮️💚 Day 5 19-05-21 Looking great 😊 She’s growing fast.. I also added some cal-mag (0.8ml/1L) To start the prevention of calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Positive vibes to everyone! ☮️💚 Day 6 20-05-21 The little Kosher is doing well. she’s almost close to have spent a week in the grow tent.. Now the hypothesis would be to leave her inside another week and then move her outside, I still have to decide where she will go but I have various options to choose from.. We will see what to do on the next week ☺️ As always, Happy growing! ☮️💚 Day 7 Today is the last day of the first week for Kosher Cake, she spent it well and without problems. I added Biobizz Acti-vera to the recipe (1ml / 1L) to be used in foliar solution by spraying it above and below the leaves of the seedling. For now there is nothing more to say .. Have a good weekend, relieve yourself and relax. Peace to all ☮️💚

Everyone is looking pretty healthy however the bud development looks closer to week 3/4 imo and I really don't like the node spacing on plant #1, I wish we had limited some of her stretch sooner. I don't see large intact colas in that plant's future, probably long bud spiraled branches but its not the end of the world lol...We gave a tomato cage to the freak mainline for some added stability (she's definitely going to need it). All buds are beginning to frost and look as if they'll be coated by the end!! (something i really didn't expect from this strain)..We're still giving them more calcium than we typically do and will probably only stop when it comes time for their finishing flush....Thanks for reading if you made it this far, we'll update again midweek, until then happy harvest friends!! ❤️💡🌱😻 YouTube: https://youtu.be/5P8IRDEw0yI ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 9/28/21 😸 Color was starting to fade on plant #1, its been a PH rollercoaster in that pot, this happens sometimes when we reuse Promix, we flushed her alone with a mild leeching solution and she's already looking better today than she has in the last 3 days, I think she'll finish just fine ❤️..happy growing everyone!! 😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
