Como mencionaba en el 1er video por intensas lluvias y vientos, la planta más grande se ha partido, intente "repararlo" pero será cuestión de días para ver si ha sobrevivido o no. Por las dudas he regado( a pesar de la lluvia) 1ml x litro de agua. La cantidad de la misma fue de 3litros con flora booster.

1 girl is definitely growing quicker so assume gonna be ~a week or so difference which is fine with me. The bigger plant is already rapidly budding and they're already a bit purple 💜 Happy holidays

What up fam, weekly update on these lovely ladies. I put the scrog net out this week for support and am I glad I did. Only after a couple days they grew right through it. The greenhouse is 6'5 feet tall and they're pushing 5'6. I'll go in there and take off some of the lower fan leafs at the bottom but not to much defoliation needed. I'm seeing preflowers so I'll also switch the nutes from grow to bloom. All in all Happy

She hasn't grown up, but she's filling out quite nicely. Looked at others growing Criteria Kush (CK photos) and noticed the growth of plant just before they put into flower. My husband decided thats what we are doing. He put up a trellis and we will use this to help during flowering. She seems happy and content. I hope she stretches and flowers nicely. Its flower time baby. 🌺⏳

Hey, fellow growers! Week 4 is complete, and as you can see, the ladies are thriving beautifully! ‘Sleepy Joe’ is already developing a lovely purple hue, and the terpenes are giving off a delicious minty, orange aroma. So far, everything has gone smoothly—Living Soil is doing its job perfectly, and I’m definitely sticking with it for all my future grows. If you have any questions about the products I use, feel free to reach out!

Auto Moon Rock on the Rise 🚀🌿 Week 3 with my Auto Moon Rock is here and she’s looking great! On day 14, I topped her, which you can see in the video and pics — already shaping nicely. This week she gets her first feeding along with a dose of compost tea to boost soil microbes. I’m gently applying some Low Stress Training to keep her growth even and healthy. She handled the transplant into a 19L fabric pot with BioBizz Light Mix, mycorrhiza, and worm compost really well — no signs of stress. First pre-flower signs showed up today — she seems eager to get going! Loving how she’s shaping up so far and excited for the weeks ahead. Care this week: 🔸 Topped on day 14 🔸 Started gentle LST with clips 🔸 Transplanted into 19L fabric pot with BioBizz Light Mix, mycorrhiza & worm compost 🔸 First feeding with BioBizz Grow planned 🔸 Compost tea added for soil health 🔸 pH steady at 6.5 🔸 EC around 900 µS 🔸 First pre-flower signs visible – looking good! Really happy with her growth and shape so far — here’s to a successful run! 💪🌱

Not a great to start to the week wirh this cal or cal/meg deficiency (as you can see in the pics) but ill hold my hands up, i only topped dressed last week and as this is an organic soil, i should have actually topped dressed on wk 4, 2 week previous !!! We live and learn from 😀 I have added small quantity of tomato feed to two waterings this week, just to give her that wee boast while the organic top dress has time to break down in the soil However, it doesnt seem to have caused much stress to this lady, maybe because she was finished her final stretch ?? Not sure. It also doesnt seem to have affected bud growth or trichome production, so fingers crossed. If anyone out there has any tips for me, please feel free to share. As I've been growing plants many years, but i am relatively new to cannabis growing and always willing to learn. ✌️✌️

Day 69 for the blueberry, after her supercrop she's been topped all over to make lower growth become more dominant (more tops) she's coming along into a lovely bush shape 😍 nothing to report, we've had a 5 week draught with temps of 25-30°c so all my girls have been loving it 😁 happy & healthy so far, so good!

Week 2 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Full Bloom Ahead The girls aren’t just entering flower — they’ve rocketed into it. From what seemed like a short transition, they’ve gone full throttle: pistils shooting, buds forming, leaves praying, and roots bursting through the medium. ⸻ Growth Update – No Pre-Flower, Just Boom This week marked an unusually fast shift: • Visible Pistils Everywhere – no gradual pre-flower here; instant bloom mode. • Budlets Forming – early structures already showing stacking tendencies. • Stems & Roots – while not the thickest stalks, the root zone is bursting with vitality, visibly surfacing in some areas of the soil. • Canopy Size – they’ve outgrown the closet! Photos this week stay inside the tent, it’s just not safe to move these ladies anymore. ⸻ Irrigation Upgrade – Semi-Auto in Motion With the room expanding and multiple genetics running, it’s time to make watering smarter: • Semi-Automatic Irrigation Installed – currently set up to water 8 plants. • Not Fully Automated Yet – still manually monitoring and hand-watering other genetics in the room. • The goal is precision without full delegation — a hybrid system offering consistency + control. This is how smart growers scale: one foot in tech, one foot in the soil. 🌱 ⸻ Red Spectrum Timing – Emerson Effect in Action Let’s dive into light science, because this week, you’ve implemented something most growers don’t even think about: ☀️ What is the Emerson Effect? Discovered by Robert Emerson in the 1950s, the Emerson Effect is the phenomenon where plants photosynthesize more efficiently when exposed to both red (660nm) and far-red (730nm) light simultaneously. Even better? Far-red at the start and end of the day manipulates the plant’s internal clock, promoting faster flowering and shorter day-length response. 🔴 Your Implementation: • 15 minutes of red/far-red spectrum • Before lights-on (simulating dawn) • After lights-off (simulating dusk) This technique: • Promotes faster flowering initiation • Enhances flower site expression • Helps with sleep/wake cycle regulation Well played — this is next-level light manipulation. 🌕 ⸻ AC Implementation – Heat Down, VPD Back in Range The much-needed air conditioner has arrived, and it’s already proving itself: • Old Temps: ~31°C • New Temps: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa (much more ideal for flower initiation) While it’s still a warm tent, the VPD is now in the sweet spot, allowing for strong transpiration, nutrient uptake, and healthy gas exchange. The girls are clearly responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrient Addition – Plagron Sugar Royal This week we’ve added Plagron Sugar Royal at 1ml/L to our Aptus regimen. What is Sugar Royal? Despite the name, it contains no actual sugar. Instead, it includes: • Amino acids – which help the plant produce more chlorophyll and essential oils • Biostimulants – supporting stress resistance, enzyme activity, and resin production Why now? In early flower, Sugar Royal: • Promotes floral aroma expression • Helps boost terpene synthesis • Supports the plant’s transition from vegetative to reproductive growth It’s a perfect complement to your Aptus Core Line, which continues to include: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.2 ml/L • Now: Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⸻ Looking Ahead – Stretching Toward the Sky With such aggressive early flowering and the canopy rapidly expanding, it’s hard to say if you’ll be able to move them for next week’s photo shoot, and that’s okay. If we’ve learned one thing from this strain, it’s that she moves at her own thrilling pace. Expect: • Continued vertical stretch (still likely to gain 30-50% more height) • Strong bud stacking at internodes • Early terpene and trichome formation in the next 7–10 days Your setup is dialed. Your environment is stabilizing. And your knowledge is putting these girls in the best hands possible. ⸻ 🌱 Week 2 Flower Summary – Roller Coster Rises 📸 Stay Tuned, Stay Rooted • Height: ~50–55 cm • PPFD: ~760 µmol/m²/s • Temperature: 28.8°C • Humidity: 66.6% • VPD: 1.33 kPa • Light Cycle: 11/13 (with 15 minutes red/far-red at lights on/off) • Nutrients:   – Aptus Regulator (0.25 ml/L)   – CalMag Boost (0.25 ml/L)   – All-in-One Liquid (1 ml/L)   – Top Booster (0.2 ml/L)   – Plagron Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Photos: Taken inside the tent (plants too large to move) From this point forward, the buds will fatten, aromas will intensify, and your tent will become a living painting of sativa energy. Next week might be wild — whether or not we get outside shots, the story will be worth sharing. ⸻ Let’s keep the momentum going, and let’s keep making GrowDiaries and the community a space where we learn, laugh, and bloom together.

👨‍🚀👋My 4 seedlings have grown well since the beginning and will soon have their flowers appear. 😊 First time that I have grown so many plants in my 1M², first time that I have not cut the main apex of the plants. I try a lot of things in this culture and it is certain that there is a lot to improve.😉 My goal is still 300g of dry buds at the end of this cultivation with my 16 plants👌 This week I continue to defoliate the lower branches. from the beginning I have been making different cuts on each plant And with supports I start trying to balance the height of all my plants so that they are approximately the same distance from the lamp ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering I water all my pots the same day but with more or less water. Simply by lifting them; A light pot is a dry pot and will need more water, A heavy pot is a wet pot and will need less water. On average I water each pot with: Day 36 : 0.75 Liters Day 40 : 0.75 L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water 💧Spraying I mix a little black soap and neem oil in 1L of water and spray everything in the tent just before my lights go out, keeping any electrical appliances away while I spray. I try to soak all the plants. and I repeat this 2 times this week and the next before the buds appear. I do this to keep pests away and reduce the risk of mold. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 60-75%) Night : 15-18°C Outside the tent it is around 17°C with 70% humidity ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : It's starting to smell a little too green in my house, I'm adding my carbon filter this week Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 45cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro + carbon filter . power 3/10. ON 24/24h 1 oscillating fan, on 45 minutes / off 15 minutes in loop (I reduce its use at night) ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : USA x Landrace LE Seeds : 👇 (Seeds of this Limited Edition is in restocking) https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/usa-and-landrace-limited-edition/ Mars Hydro : 5% off with my discount code "houstone5" 💪 https://www.mars-hydro.com/?acc=hou-stone 👨‍🚀My Instagram 🌱❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ☮️Peace and love💚👋

Getting ready to flip to flower in a week or two with some trellis work. I should've shaved the legs of these ladies but I was unprepared for clones this week so I'll probably shave them this weekend. I'm happy with the results thus far. 🎋🌲🍃

Gréât week. Thai choc looks unreal. Pineapple Express is a funky little bonsai .. all ripener now for the upcoming week. Thai chocolate needs a bit more flower time than her piers so I can enjoy the show a little longer. Her color has really come through. Video summary of all strains included. Thanks for coming

The girls are hungry! Despite seeing some nitrogen excess they are still wanting more phosphorus. The Bonnie and Clyde have been a bit of a learning curve, but overall, I’m very happy with these Autoflowers so far! Some of the biggest I’ve grown to date. Humidity has been a struggle this week, trying to keep my VPD on point. Otherwise it’s been a good week of growth. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦🌱❤️😎💨

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Got them outside and repotted. They look much happier... Look at the last pictures to see they have grown a few inches in a few days. I put a heat sink in this year. 8 - 5 gallon containers were put under the table and are supposed to trap the heat and release it slowly. You can see the white containers behind the plants under the middle of the table. I'll take them out when it gets warmer at night. The soil is 5 gallons of SunShine Mix #4 ( 70% Moss) and 5 gallons of compost from my household composter. I mixed them together. I surrounded the root ball with the SunShine Mix neutral ph soil, so the root ball doesn't get burnt by the hot soil. The roots will grow into the mixed soil when they are ready. Lots of light in there with the new window film I've installed. Plants have a tangy smell to them. OK. Be Great. Chuck.
