Half time in bloom. I made a video with and one without flash. This is always a bit misleading. I set Josefine a bit higher. I should have done this much earlier as she was already the smallest the whole time. I defoliated a tiny bit. Should be. A few leaves are turning yellow, but I think I watered a little too much, or gave too much fertilizer. However, it doesn't look alarming to me at the moment. They'll catch themselves again. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the first week of April.

Back 2 are on week 5 day 34 of flowering & front plant Orange sherbet clone is week 8 day 54 & very close to harvest, changed her over & flushing with water & Rezin only. Awaiting delivery of a new 60x microscope lense to view trichomes but the buds look like their just about done. Calyx closed & swollen, amber pistils curling in, they are nice & dense buds.

-Clones have been transplanted into 3.5" pots. The sixth plant eventually rooted however it was the smallest, was a backup, so I did not bother to transplant it. -Megacrop amounts above are actually g/gal, not tsp/gal. I do wish Grow Diaries would add mass for us dry soluble nutrient addicts. -Mother is doing fine, I took a second set of cuttings off her for a local buddy who would like to grow her out as well. -The mother has also given me a good idea of what to expect later on in veg when I begin training. -Grow will eventually be planted in 5-gal fabric pots then moved to a 4x4 tent w/ Autopots and a 650w 3000K LED Bars for further training and flowering. -I intend on offsetting the transplants, bending the girls over for LST, and eventually train under a scrog net in the flower tent. The mother seems to support this training as that is what I did with her to reduce height yet maximize the number of cuttings I could harvest quickly.

Started Germination in a glass of water (pH6,78, used 2 drops). After 24 hours transferd the seeds to a paper towel and moistend it with the water from the cup. After 24 hours you could see minor cracks and some had tiny tap roots. Let them be for another 24 hours after which they developed the tap roots you see in the last 3 video's/photo. Very happy that all the seeds came up. Choose this strain for the high yields and high thc levels.

DAY 28 Flowering: Hi all. I hope we are all well and sane with our family and friends intact. It has been a very strange week with some brilliant fortune that led to a slight dilemma. I had entered an online comp to win a p4000 by viparspectra. As I had used the xs1500 i was eligible to enter a picture for their photo competition. I never expected to win and there were some really nice entries too . It was a vote and not a sponsors choice for the win so this was an even more positive result for me . The light arrived and curiosity had me opening it !!!. With a 1ft wider coverage in flower and the issue of bunching up I was managing , it felt like a no brainer . After a very quick set up and hang ot was full power and full steam ahead. I hope this explains the change you may notice in the pics now. These ladies have grown very very bushy now and needed the spacing out a little too. I did het busy removing some more of the big fans too and had a little clear out of some small piffle... They are all really strong when I try to move their limbs now so I hope this is a future cast of big fruits to hold on them !!. There is a really nice sweet smell coming off the Amnesia haze and they are beginning to get quite tacky to touch now too. With 400w of full spectrum including so e it and far reds , we could have some sexy bud pirn glistening in no time. Lol Be well growmies. Until the next one.

Day 56: Nothing special this week other then I found out another reason for the stretching of the plants. I don't know where i was of what i was doing but suddenly it came into my mind. Well normaly i use seperate veg and flower basic nutrients. This time, I used a new basic nutrient i never used before. This basic nutrient has veg and flower nutrients for the whole cycle. So the growth of the plants has been stimulating for to long. This is fun when you grow huge plants for a long time, not if you plan to only veg for 3-4 weeks, 1-2 weeks preflower with maybe 6 to 9 weeks of flowering.

My Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds is now in its third week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s progressing. She looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong branches. The stretch phase is nearly over, and she has developed a solid structure with a well-defined main cola.🌱 One of the most exciting changes this week is the first appearance of trichomes on the main bud. Under the light, they’re starting to sparkle, hinting at the resin production that’s about to take off. The buds are forming nicely, and I can already smell a faint but promising aroma developing. So far, she’s responding well to the nutrients and environment, with no signs of deficiencies or stress. If she keeps going at this pace, she’s going to be a real beast by harvest time.😊

Ghost Train Haze Week 6 from seed | 12/12 from seed Marked as: Week 1 Flower (pre-flower transition) Before jumping into current conditions, a quick recap for anyone new joining the diary. This Ghost Train has been through a bit of a transition phase over the past weeks. Earlier environmental fluctuations, combined with changes in nutrition and irrigation style (Autopots), slowed her down compared to the rest of the room. Nothing dramatic, but enough to leave visible signals on the older leaves. The good news: conditions are now much more stable, and the plant is clearly responding. ⸻ Current Environment (now stabilized) • Temperature: ~27.5 °C • Humidity: ~65% • CO₂: ~900 ppm • PPFD: • Smaller plants: ~600–700 • Taller plants: up to ~800–850 Light intensity is intentionally staggered. Plants are allowed to grow into the photons naturally, rather than being forced under a flat PPFD across the canopy. This helps accommodate different genetics and growth speeds in the same room. Despite cold weather outside, internal temperatures are now stable, which was one of the main goals this week. ⸻ Root Zone & Irrigation • Root / reservoir temperature: ~17 °C Slightly cold, acknowledged. This contributed to slower uptake earlier, especially in Autopots. Not ideal, but manageable, and already improving. • Watering parameters: • pH: 6.5 • EC: 2.4 ⸻ Nutrition — what changed and why This week marks a clear nutritional transition: • Switched from Plagron Terra Grow → Terra Bloom • Following the Plagron feeding schedule • This was the only intentional change Additionally: • CalMag Pro has now been added (started last week) About the leaf symptoms The older leaves show signs of undernutrition and stress. This is not a single-cause issue, but a combination of factors: • Cold root zone limiting uptake • Autopot system still running a lighter recipe • A sudden stop of organic inputs • A rapid switch to a fully mineral approach In short: the plant was used to one rhythm, and that rhythm changed fast. She didn’t like it — and she showed it. Important note for newer growers: 👉 These symptoms are on older leaves. They will not “repair,” but new growth is the real indicator, and that’s already improving. By increasing Terra Bloom, adding CalMag, and stabilizing the environment, the plant now has what she needs to push into flowering properly. ⸻ Flowering expectations This Ghost Train Haze is currently the most delayed plant in the room, and that’s okay. • Haze-dominant genetics often: • Take longer to transition • Stretch later • Flower later than hybrids She will likely be: • The last to fully enter flower • The last to finish That’s normal — and usually rewarded with excellent medicine in the end. What to expect next: • Gradual improvement in new growth color • Clear pre-flower expression • Stretch beginning once roots and uptake fully sync What not to expect: • Instant cosmetic recovery on old leaves • Overnight flowering just because the schedule says so ⸻ Final thoughts Conditions are now stable, inputs are clear, and the plant is responding. From here, it’s about consistency, not correction. Thank you to: • The newcomers • The OGs • The supporters and the critics • The sponsors • The community • The platform itself It’s truly an honor and a privilege to share these humble diaries with everyone who chooses to follow along.

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.

Week 6 for Moby Dick, She was moved outdoors at the start of the week, shes been adjusting well besides the fact shes been having issues with aphids 😥 But shes been getting sprayed water every sun rise to keep them under control as well as me going in there & killing them when i can spot them every morning & evenings. Trying to get my hands on some pyrol products to clean her up nicely as well as clean up the outdoor space. But wow look at her size... really looking forward to her coming out with some flowers😍

GWK: Day 68 AvT: Day 63 Notes: -The AvT is on day 63 but for those confused why she looks the way she does, she almost died right as she entered flower and was stunted for about two weeks before ANY growth started again -AvT looks like she could really put off a nice yield if everything keeps moving in this direction -Planning to cut the GWK down between the 5th and 7th depending on the % of amber trichomes

I'm expecting at least another week on the hubba bubba as it's getting nice and thick, and I haven't noticed any new pistols form in a few days. The ABxRKO is still trucking, and it makes me excited for the next drop that tree1four did. It smells heavy on the burger side, but not super meaty. It has a slightly sweet gassy meaty smell to it.

Week 19, and it's like my plants have hit a leafy plateau – the growth seems to have slowed down, or maybe I've just gotten used to their leafy antics. But hey, who needs fast growth when you've got an overwhelmingly beautiful smell wafting out of your tent? When I open the tent, it's like stepping into a fragrant paradise. The smell is sweet, strong, and just downright heavenly. Is this how heaven smells? If so, sign me up for eternity in a leafy paradise! But it's not all sweet smells and smooth sailing. I've noticed a slight discoloration of some leaves, and I suspect it might be due to a pH issue. Time to put on my plant detective hat and make some adjustments. I'm switching to feeding only pH water for the rest of the grow, hoping to nip this issue in the bud (pun intended). So here's to Week 19 – a week of heavenly smells, pH detective work, and the ongoing adventure of growing these amazing plants. Cheers to my green companions – may they continue to delight the senses and grow into leafy wonders! 🌿🌺
