I am pleasantly surprised with this grow. This is my second time growing Cream Cookies and my yields have increased by 400%. Cream Cookies #2 was the heaviest yielder coming in at 224.04 grams wet. Coming in at almost a quarter POUND for one plant just makes me grin from ear to ear. Im so extremely happy with how ive been taking care of them. It seems that proper and methodical defoliation is the key to massive yields. Cutting fan leaves which block out a significant portion of the available light to the lower and developing bud sites proved to be a great choice. The plants look a little 'skinny' after defoliation, but the newly exposed bud sites explode into the canopy. Im just so very happy with how everything went. Haven't smoked yet its curing now, will update in two weeks!

Day 49: She is back on Day 51: She keeps pushing strong. Ive used some LST to even out her height. Also defolaited a bit every day and removed some lower bud shoots. Summary of how I got her back: The problem I have identified was slight overwatering and too high temperatures. Thats why her leafs hang down in veg, and are now cupping a bit in flower. Unfortunately I cant get the temperatures down much. When possible, im decreasing the lights during the day, and increase them at night while pulling cold air. Current night temperatures are around 15C, but I only reach arround 23C with 60% rh in the tent. This should be fine, but the leaf temperatures are probably a bit higher. I also hang the light as low as possible right now since that also helps with the temps. I keep the lights at about 45%, which results at 20h at a dli at roughly 38. A bit of an increase in the night times will hopefully push this to 45 overall. Also fed her today with 1 silica | 1,5 calmag | 2 grow | 1,5 micro | 1,5 bloom. She took 2,5 l of water.

Zkittlez Feminized Seeds are a cross of Afghan Kush x (Grapefruit x Grape Ape). A great indica dominant hybrid that causes a well balanced cerebral effect. With a flower period of 60 to 65 days you can expect an indoor harvest of 600g/m2 and outdoor harvest of around 700g/m2. A great display of resin with faint purple hues late in the flower period. Aromas of deep berry and grape. SGROG method works great with this genetic. A great addition to The Bakeries ever growing in-house collection. Let's see I will plant 3 of these left from gift seed... Day 0 24th of March 2020 I place them in the water. Day 0 25th of March 2020, seeds are sank. Day 0 25th of March 2020: I placed the seeds between damp paper towel. Day 0 26th of March 2020: 2 is c sprouting already one needs more time I think :) Day 0 29th of March 2020: Time to plant the one did not show sign of life another one actually doesn't even need soil :○ Look at the picture :) I have planted them. Weather is shit 6 Celsius now.... Why today???????? So... I decided to bring in my room they get the same light from the sun through the window but the big difference is the temperature. Outside is shit cold 6-8 celsius in my room is 23 Celsius so... Day 1: So left them in my room close to the window. One of them is out hopefully the other girl will show up as well she was a bit back I mean in terms of sprouting. Weather is rubbish, UK shit now cold and hardy have sun. We had some good days... I am waiting for the better days. :) Day 3: Both of them out. 4th of April Day 6 This is the first food day so far sun is shining.... Precious days kept in the window and night time inside because it is cold. Ony one left rest of the good bye. :)

Not much to say apart from they are getting bigger and all three seem to be girls now 11 days until I flip! Edit: I'm happy with the training and keeping them low, so the aim is to flip this week

Back to the 1000 wt as temps here are modest for July atm. Still 1 plant not flowering like the other 2. I will be patient as it’s overall structure looks amazing. Slowly easing into the process not as much anxiety about every little thing. Changed my light out for my lower power 600 wt led instead of the 1000wt TMLAPY. Maybe not the right move i really don't know what to do b/c i have tip burn and my tent gets a bit hot in the low 80s when its in the 90s here in Illinois. I have an makeshift cooler w fan and some fans and my exhaust fan system which im pretty sure is under powered and overall and bad beginner purchase. I will upgrade as soon as i can financially afford to. Also had flooding issues in basement which is always an adventure, i eventually need a better way to get my grow tent up off the ground b/c water does get in there sometimes. Doing everything in my power to avoid mold and have fans and filters and cleaning, but again this may have been a beginner mistake and i may have to find a new home for the tent for the next time. Also I definitely had been under watering the girls and came close to one of them dying and have to remove some yellow leaves at bottom, they all look stable now. 1 out of 3 plants has a darker color and looks fuller and healthier w less tip burn but it is shorter only has a couple of hairs where the other 2 are going full on into flowering with so many hairs and growing much taller. Possibly stunted the growth... Anyway the word of the day for this week is TIP BURN. I will submit a question to follow. i recently uploaded a video that should show all 3 plants w the tip burn.

Mrs Big B is about to have her sweet stretch to Budville so I hope I've shaped her well enough to take full advantage of the light space. If not a traditional 'Super crop' will solve any future spacing issues. Ha ha. Due to an accident in her younger days she's sort of become a triple stem after topping. I'm hoping I get something cool looking as a result. I trimmed a few lower buds that would soon be overshadowed by the canopy and not worth her effort. Weekly does of Biobizz triple nuits and tap water just to top up and irrigate. Because shes not drinking loads yet. My LST may need refining..... but we learn every mistake right?

(The numbers of this harvest are from a single plant) I ended REAL ORGANIC and let plants dry by themselves on their pots outside the tent and gradually day after day i was picking and selecting dry buds from the branches 2 smoke m all! This particular diary gave me a sense of adventure, and a lot of fun, i´ll always remenber that made my quareentine a lot easier to live, by that time i felt i was prepared even for the end of the times if it comes to that 😂

Week 7 VEG – The White OG (Seedsman Seeds) This week was all about shaping, training, and refining. We stepped into the art of mainlining, guiding her structure into perfection while giving her the space to shine. A little seduction, a little discipline, and a whole lot of plant love. 😏✨ 🌿 Mainlining: The Art of Balance Mainlining isn’t just training—it’s sculpting. By evenly distributing energy and growth, we create a strong, symmetrical plant that’s ready to thrive. 🔹 Topped and trained – Ensuring equal energy flow and balanced growth. 🔹 Leaving two nodes per branch – Structuring her for a powerful, even canopy. 🔹 Guiding her gently – With the right support, she bends but never breaks. 🍃 Defoliation: Light, Air, and Growth Less is more when it comes to defoliation! The goal? More light penetration, better airflow, and a happier plant. 💡 Removing lower leaves – Redirecting energy to the most important growth points. 💨 Improving airflow – Keeping her environment fresh and reducing moisture buildup. 🌞 Allowing deeper light penetration – No more shadows, just pure, even growth. 🔥 The Studio Treatment This week, she got the VIP studio treatment—out of the tent, under the lens, and shining against that sleek black background. Sometimes, you just have to appreciate the beauty of the work in progress. Tent Conditions & Feedings 🔸 Temps: Around 18°C – a little chilly, but she’s handling it like a champ. 🔸 RH: 60% – Keeping that balance for steady veg growth. 🔸 Feed: Still running Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral lineup—strong, steady, and full of potential. 🔸 Lights: Future of Grow LED, 200 PPFD—keeping her compact and thriving. 💚 Shoutouts & Love Huge thank you to the amazing sponsors and supporters! 🌱 @Seedsman @AptusHolland @FutureofGrow @TrolMaster @ProMixSoil @Cannakan 🌍 Special shoutout to the entire Grow Diaries family, the followers, the lovers, the haters—this one’s for you all! 👀 New episodes dropping weekly on YouTube!
