Last week

Topping

Getting more sensative to nutes so I'm flushing to finish with final solution, no more bud rot, good smells coming now almost finishing and some âmbar tricombs.

D92/F48 - 01/07/23 - 👉👉👉 First Havest, I cutted the main buds and left the others for one more week. Now I'm going to put only the timelapse video and then all details in the next week D93/F49 - 02/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing D94/F50 - 03/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing D95/F51 - 04/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing D96/F52 - 05/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing D97/F53 - 06/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing D98/F54 - 07/07/23 - Secondary grow with flushing

Holy moly. She's growing... like a weed. She's loving the nutrient schedule and environment (finally). I was having an issue maintaining proper humidity levels and after exhausting EVERY possibility with venting, fans and otherwise, I have moved my dehumidifier inside the tent and it's working wonders. I drain the water with a shop-vac as I do the same for my run-off. Things are going great so far, I hope to continue this forward progress in the coming weeks. Going to LST sometime this week, just not sure when. 6/13: Started minor LST phase to open spots to light. Fan leaves are gonna be huge. I also overwatered her... I'm a noob. 6/14: No watering for 24 hours. I removed my LST. She wasn't yet strong enough for the arc I put into her. Another noob mistake and add the overwatering to this, I just wanted to destress her. 6/15: Back to regular 1 liter per 24 hours, also added Armor Si to the nute schedule. 6/16: She's showing signs of getting back to normal. Added Diamond Nectar on this day. I also LST'd her back to position. 6/18: Back to normal. I trimmed 1 fan leaf under the canopy that wasn't going to get any light. 6/19: She's better and growing well. I'm going to try and keep this vegetation stage a little longer. Added a little more water today, just a tiny bit. I have 2 other plants that are a week behind and I want them caught up for the flip as close as possible. Pray for me.

Too much going on for a detailed update, but here are the highlights: Did a res change on 12th. Was thorough in removing all of the old water, and flushed out the roots of both grow sites until the water ran clear. Filled with RO and did nutes until ~900 PPM. Creme de la Chem just kept stretching, got into the light. I re-worked the tent today, and now they have like 4 inches of space... definitely sub-optimal. I've been trying various techniques on different stalks to see if anything works ... super cropping, topped off some smaller bud sites, and folding over as much as I think they can take. She just won't stop stretching! Finally seeing decent pistils on her, though, so maybe she's almost done. Going to be a lot of toasted and light bleached buds on these two beasts :(. SOH hasn't been getting much taller at all, just adding more and more pistils. I'm waiting for her to start fattening up, and excited to see what she produces. As you can see from underwater temps, I've been doing battle with the water temp fighting to keep it under 72F. I'm rotating ice packs, and it's annoying AF. When this grow is over, I will be adding insulation to the outside of my buckets. I've learned so much already ... my next grow will be much much smoother. For now, it's just a matter of trying to cope with my early mistakes 😂.

So far all good.

Week 10 - not long now.. She looks good, just a little concerned with the fan leaves but from what I've read this is normal and nothing to worry about at this stage. Hope that is true. 🤔 I've kept the nutrients lower this week as I am worried about over feeding. The soil I mixed with alot of Manure from goats, ducks and chicken so I dont think I need to add anything else. First time growing... better to be safe than sorry. I got to the bottom of last weeks droopy leaves - Underwatering! I had been keeping her out of the rain and had forgot to feed water. Lesson learnt. I noticed the roots get compact on top in a fabric pot if you dont slowly water in, the water runs off the pot and not through it. Fixed this by bottom feeding until the soil was fully wet - I guess bottom feeding is the way to go when this happens. 10-20% of Pistils are brownish now and most of the trichomes are cloudy with a few still clear and the odd one amber. Still trying to get to grips with the x45 loupe. I dont have steady hands 😆 The lower branches that were LST'd are getting really big now so for sure I will be pulling all the branches back next time. Removed potential bud rot and will closely monitor. Hopefully she will be ok for 10 more days 🙏🤞

Week#15 GSC BY KANNABIA Week #15 Feb 15th-22nd This week she is doing great 👍 you can see her OG kush heritage with her tight buds and almost florescent white hairs.

Very happy with this strain and pheno, amazing results. A great find ! She grew like a dream from start to finish. Pharma labs test results in at 24% thc. Bravo Serious seeds ! Great work as usual !

Structured Defoliation & Light Redistribution GMO Cookies — Week 7 From Seed (12/12 From Seed) ( Week 2 Flower, kind a because this run is 12/12 from seed, developmental phases overlap. While we are in Week 7 from seed, flower morphology places these plants approximately in Week 2–3 of true flower formation.) ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was flipped 12/12 from seed. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Only: • Strategic leaf bending • Gentle positioning • Natural apical development • Controlled mineral feeding through the AutoPot system • Occasional top-feed inputs when needed We let the plants express themselves first. That decision matters. Because what you’re seeing now — the uniform tops, the consistent structure, the even canopy rhythm — is the result of restraint early on. No panic training. No overcorrection. Just guidance. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, deliberately, we changed nothing. • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • LED lighting (multi-layer + under-canopy support) Some growers see 28 °C in flower and panic. But context matters. Under LED lighting: • Leaf surface temp runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient • There is no heavy infrared load like under HPS • Transpiration behaves differently So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% Leaf-level VPD sits in a comfortable early-flower range. We do not calculate room VPD in isolation. We observe plant behavior. And the plants confirm stability: • Upright posture • No tacoing • No clawing • Strong internode spacing • Healthy green without tip burn We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. That’s different. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Why EC 2.4 Is Intentional These GMO Cookies are evolving fast. At Week 2 flower, they are: • Stretching • Building structural mass • Initiating bud sites • Increasing water consumption EC 2.4 is not a random number. It matches: • Growth speed • AutoPot constant availability • Mineral shuttle stability • Transpiration rate under LED Because AutoPots provide continuous feed, the goal isn’t spikes — it’s consistency. No dramatic increases. No sudden drops. Just stable availability. That’s why we did not change anything this week. When plants are stable, changing variables creates instability. ⸻ Defoliation — Controlled Intervention, Not Reaction This update follows the exact chronological order of the session. Before defoliation, we observed: • Mid-canopy density • Lower airflow restriction • Interior shading • Competing secondary growth The intervention focused on: • Removing obstructive fan leaves • Cleaning lower interior branches (lollipopping) • Improving air channels • Increasing light penetration • Prioritizing top flower sites No stripping. No shock. Just structure correction. ⸻ 🔥 Under-Canopy Light Marks — Addressed Transparently Minor leaf surface damage was observed on some lower leaves. Important distinction: This is not nutrient burn. This is not systemic stress. These were: • Localized photon exposure spots • Leaves positioned too close to under-canopy diodes • Surface-level tissue damage Cosmetic. Monitored. Adjusted. Under-canopy lighting increases lower bud potential — but placement must be respected. This is part of dialing in layered LED systems. We document it openly. Because transparency builds trust. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Plants Look So Uniform Three plants. Very similar rhythm. Why? • Stable feeding • Stable environment • No high-stress events • Even canopy exposure • Gentle early leaf positioning instead of hard training Consistency early → uniformity later. This is not luck. It’s controlled inputs. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Stretch slowing down • Clear bud stacking beginning • Pistil density increasing • Water consumption rising • Slight increase in aroma intensity You should NOT expect: • Massive swelling yet • Heavy frost development • Final bud density We are still in structural flower. GMO builds weight slightly later. Patience is part of the architecture. ⸻ 🧠 The Philosophy Behind This Week When everything is stable: Do not interfere. Many growers change parameters weekly just to feel active. But cultivation is not about constant movement. It’s about: Observation → Understanding → Adjustment only when required. This week required observation. Not correction. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries platform — thank you for the space to document honestly.

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.

• Nute strategy: • EC held around 1.3 mS/cm after the burn event. • KoolBloom Dry continued at moderate doses. • Ripen came in with Micro/Bloom adjusted to support fade and ripening rather than raw growth

16.02 First day of the fourth week of flower. Defoliated a little bit again. This time around I’m picking smaller amounts of leaves every day in comparison to one major defoliation on one day. Also I ve added pk booster at 100 ppm.( 0.2 ec) will gradually raise it over the next weeks. Lowering the base nutrients. I think they finally stopped the stretch and they are barely fitting in the tent. I ve added some swirski ulti mite . Predatory mites as prophylactic measure for thrips. I’ve noticed some tiny damage on a couple of leaves. And a couple of larvae.

Ill have to update the final results in 4 weeks. Plants are still drying and I gave it my best guess.

They are going incredibly fast I have removed the nets because it is a lot easier to work instead of crawling under the net I can now just walk through it which makes my life a lot easier in a few days I will remove a lot of leaves and leave them alone for the rest until now I like growing on rdwc very well now that I understand better See you guys next week hope you are doing fine in this weird world

Today is just the harvest, wash and hang dry process. Still must dry and cure and won’t tastes for at least 30 more days. Sorry guys. Updates later
