On day 1 I adjusted the PH from 6.6 to 6.2. The tallest cola is 13.75" away from light. On day 2 I adjusted the PH from 6.4 to 6.2. The tallest cola is 12.5" away from light. On day 3 the PH is 6.2. The tallest cola is 11.5" from the light. On day 4 I didn't take data points long day... On day 5 the rez PH is 6.2. the tallest cola is 10" from the light. On day 6 the rez PH is 6.0. The tallest cola is 9.5" from the light. I defoliated heavily to bring in more light and airflow. On day 7 The tallest cola is 9" from the light. I mixed up a new rez.

📌 Disclaimer / Timeline clarification Before we begin, a quick note for transparency: Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me. It’s fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, I’ll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this week’s genetics shots and videos as intended. Thank you for the understanding — clarity and honesty always come first here 🙏 🌬️ Week 4 Veg — Sour Diesel Quick recap (how we got here) This Sour Diesel has moved through veg without interruptions or stress. From early establishment to now, the focus has been consistency: stable environment, balanced nutrition, and no unnecessary interventions. No setbacks. No corrections. Just steady development and strong genetic expression beginning to show. Anyone joining us now is seeing her at a point where the foundation is already built. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions & Environment Conditions remain identical and stable, exactly as intended for mid-vegetative growth: • Temperature: 25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: 60% • Airflow: constant and gentle • VPD: comfortably in range for veg This environment allows Sour Diesel to: • transpire efficiently • maintain lush coloration • build internal momentum without stress ⸻ 💡 Lighting (Week 4 Veg) • LEDs: running at 90% • Lighting source: top lighting only • Under-canopy lighting: not active yet (planned for flower) She’s growing into the light, not being pushed by it. We’re monitoring PPFD across the canopy using the TrolMaster PAR sensor, walking the room to understand distribution — not to chase numbers, but to stay informed. No adjustments are being made. Observation only. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Program Same trusted, balanced approach: • Plagron Terra Grow — vegetative base nutrition • Power Roots — strong, expansive root system • Pure Zym — enzymatic support and cleaner substrate • Sugar Royal — metabolic and microbial encouragement • Vita Race — foliar vitality and micronutrients The response is clear: lush green growth, expressive leaves, and relaxed posture. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Observations • Color: rich, healthy green • Vigor: calm but confident • Growth rate: steady, as expected for Week 4 veg • Structure: quietly stacking potential She’s a lush plant, no other way to say it. Balanced, beautiful, and clearly comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) Expect: • noticeable acceleration soon • tighter internodal spacing • increased nutrient demand as root mass peaks Don’t expect: • explosive stretch just yet • dramatic visual changes this • the need for interventions or corrections This is the calm before the surge — the moment where Sour Diesel gathers herself before showing her true pace. ⸻ Closing Notes Week 4 veg is about trusting the process. Sour Diesel is exactly where she should be — healthy, lush, and preparing for the next chapter. Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Almost there. Took a look at her close up and most trichomes are cloudy. Added Overdrive this week to start that finishing process. Each branch has a really nice sized cola on top. Powdery mildew is practically dead in its tracks thankfully, meaning its not spreading. A bit pops up here and there, a quick but precisely guided spray with Safers Brand 3-1 and we are good. You can see it in the overshot on some leaves. This was before treatment. As far as the nitrogen toxicity, ive cut out the ph perfect line for her, minus 1ml of micro...i may even cut that. Notice how dark and thick the leaves are. I have a feeling that if I cut all nutrients now she would finish fine. Tell me what you think!

(12/11-12/17) Days 8 to 14 Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 1 Notes & Observations: Plant 1 and 2 have been showing nice steady growth. Both seem to have similar phenos so far, so Im looking forward to a nice straightforward grow and training with minimal variants. They will be kept in these containers until week 4+ VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity at ~75 to 80% while under a dome and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime with 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~250ppfd max. I will have to raise and lower pots inside the tent as I will be growing these at a different interval of other plants.

What a difference a week makes, now starting week 4 and moved them up into their final pots now that I have some space in the tent and they are currently under 600w dual spec and a 315w daylight, I have topped 5 of the 6 but left one as it looks like it’s a stocky plant anyway, they all look like they should be impressive plants so far and visibly growing by the day 😊

10/28 Last 10 days or so... no more nutes, just ph 6.5 water, minding environmentals and keeping an eye out for random crap like my 15 amp breaker going out in the early AM -- but fine in the heat of the day, go figure. I added another heat pad so I am sure that is running hot in the colder temps and drawing more power. I have an idea how to fix it, I'll keep you posted. Humidity is naturally so perfect right now, weather finally helping me out. Humidity is 55% naturally and 50% in tent with no lights on. With lights on it was 33% to 40% during the day. Day temps 82 F 28 C degrees. Night temps down to the 50s F 13-14 C. So the colds temps and relatively low humidity are helping my last weeks of flower, hurray for once. Pretty excited to harvest and pensively planning and muttering about the impending curing cycle to come! Got the AC Infinity on seven, all three fans are moving air. Two seedling heat mats keeping stuff warm (kinda low tech, buy hey), little de-humidifier churning. Got five plants still flowering and not much time left before it gets cold cold! As long a weather holds I know its gonna help. Update 10/30 Mando! Anyway, new video showing what is in the flowering tent. It's hard not to get excited looking at the fruits of all this labor and time ... and money spent. It's like worse than golf or something, all I look at are new growing techniques, new tools, new lights. I have to avoid Amazon! I think the key is buying the best stuff you can afford and what you think you need, then adding 20% that way you will end up not regretting it later when your light is too weak. I ended up running three lights in a 3x3 to get the coverage and lumens I needed. Still not happy with my setup. Anyway, back to the video. Left side is Northern Lights, middle is Vanilla Frosting, towards the front all along from left to right, those are the three trimmed White Widows, and those are some dank buds... they are pungent. The VF smells like candy, the NL smells like some indica drama. The WW is almost skunky its so heavy, but not.

We got some drizzles this week and some cloudiness, but her southern facing aspect, helped her out with getting some nice sunlight despite the fact. Temperature still dropping as to be expected so I didn't have to water more than once. The buds are swelling and frosting up quick.

Mainlining was too stressful on these plants. Changed my mind to just lst and small topping. Size and color of each plant are varying making it difficult to choose what to feed. Just started adding gro nutrients. Some look like they need more and others are getting too much N. Not particularly impressed with this veg at day 43, but i knew it wouldn't be the easiest grow considering the strain. Still excited for flower and to smoke it at the end of this summer.

Sweet Bourbon Kush auto is flowering nicely. She is about mid way through bulking I believe. She is working her way to a finish soon. Everything has been stable, and doing great.

Dramatic weather here, 2 violent storms have hitted my tent without mayor damages. I've bought a high density polyethylene film from farmer supplier, God blessed for this choice. Strong. But I've made a great mistake on Thursday because I was very busy cropping and curing Royal Gorilla that I've forget to water the sisters. I've watered them on Friday just before I started putting up the tent and the storm started with 90% humidity. It has become a tropical greenhouse, so to avoid mold disasters I drilled some side holes and raised the lower edge. Fortunately, on Saturday my little ones managed to dry themselves well thanks to a little sun and a dry wind. I've learned the lesson. Now that weather is a little bit better but colder I've realised that my plants now love to live under a greenhouse, flowering is accelerating. Saturday check after the storm, bud by bud, revealed to me a single rot spot on minor side branch completely obscured by upper buds and fully soaked by water. I've removed the affected part carefully, no metastases around. Some branches start to bend down by weight, buds are enormous. Now under the greenhouse plant is restarting to flower well, as notorious Special Kush don't like too much sudden changes of temperature. Do not want to repeat mistakes done with Royal Gorilla so the plant will be cropped only when 100% ready, not a minute before, not a minute, I think on Wednesday or Thursday if dry. We are talking about of more than a pound of shit! P. S. need some help from you guys to trim Royal Gorilla, need to smoke less, that shit has no respect! 😁😎

Day 17 17/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml -5L. Very humid week, noticed a green turning colour on top of soils where the humidity has been far to high. I have installed door netting and recently left open all day and night now so they can condition over night in colder temps. All are doing well, one overdose slightly behind and looking ABIT swifted. But she'll come around 💪💚 Day 19 19/07/24 Friday Lite Feed today, 250ml each pot small run off. Seeing excellent start to these babies. Let's get it 👌💚 Day 21 21/07/24 Sunday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml to 5L. Watering in 1L each day from now. Updated video

All pictures were taken on day 49 Buds are stacking up and appear to turn pink But she has some weird leaves growing out of the headbud😹😸 I gave her 2x about 1L with 0.5ml/l Top-Max & Bio-Bloom this week Id say she shows slight first signs of deficiency but not really worth to mention

Auto Northern Dragon Fuel is growing good. She was just lollipopped today. I also selectively defoliated her canopy. She was very bushy and dense with leaves. She is developing well, and should start bulking soon. Nothing more to report at the moment.

Any suggestions on what I should be doing I put soil around stem and added wind to fatten stem but I don’t have a oscillating so it’s Blowing above it moving stem all day is that good ? Why is she so pointy wind or light to close ?
