29/06 Day40 Height 83cm Noticed that on one of the plants that approx 70% of the leaves look exaggeratedly rough with a dusting of orangey brownish markings. This came after the bug episode I remedied with Eccofective Bug Spray (Organic) Fed each 2L of Solution Inoculated the rims of their pouches with Peppermint Oil. The creepy-crawlies hate it😈 07/06 Day 47 The one plant looks decidedly miserable. Weird rough leaves with slight discolouration and droopy. They're not being over or under watered. They both receive the exact same nutrient ratio and mix. It's been suggested to me by Bloombuster that it's heat-related. This makes sense as it was over 30c when I moved them outdoors. They're also showing Indica genetics more than the Sativas they're meant to be. I'll make mention of this to Lineage Genetics.

D57/FD29 - Thing going grand with the Cookies so far (enjoying growing these Cookie Based Strains). Smell from it is divine! Touch a stem and its a lovely citrus smell left on you for ages! Noted in a previous comment, like a perfect sweetness, fresh lemonade. You'd wear it as an aftershave alright even!!! :P They're drinking a ton but not taking on as much feed (as I've come to expect now in flower) so dropped the base and bloom by 10% (same recommended ratio of 1:1) and kept the PK9/18 booster in there at what would be recommended strength for this week...its the same as last week but week 1 (week 4 of flower) of PK9/18 should have been double...didn't want to overdo it as when I used recommended strength 1st time I got it, it created some serious root zone acidification (Which could have been all the K getting used up but was a mare getting the pH up from 4.something every day!!!). Did my usual root flush/wash before adding feed as the EC had crept up to 2.2 (and I know from experience, that starts messing with your numbers if you don't wash that out right) and took about 50L-60L to get the tank to 0.3EC (base is 0.2) was was a lot of salt sitting on/in the roots. Had a ton of underscreen dead leaf to pick up and just cut some wee straggly offshoots (I know, bad idea this late in flower but they were basically dead/no nutritional value left so basically a bug magnet). Still waiting on Bluelab to send me the RMA approved pH pen...been 2 weeks now since the RMA was approved and still no postage - using an "essentials" pH meter and just dipping in Calibration Fluids between each feed add to ensure some accuracy (As you can see from my recipe page, I like to know what the feed does to the pH - also gives an idea on what they're feeding on when you see pH swings in a different direction that expected). Geeklight also got back to me. In all fairness, I've been dealing with them direct (Got the light fixture from Alibaba, direct from China - big gamble, right???) and they have been more than helpful. I have been telling them about the light randomly coming on at 5% (lowest brightness) and provided evidence; turns out someone else now noticed the same issue with the Remote App controlled variant too and they believed it was a loose control board/wire. They said they did some stuff and that fixed it but I also thought mine was fixed by forcing the dimmer to 0% and it still randomly happened (even though it didn't do it for weeks) so the other person may still get a surprise!! 😋 So, I took out the driver today, pulled out the control board and all wires seemed good and no looseness in the control board (although it does look slightly bent as the Spade for the IR/UV switch isn't fully bedded in). But, like I say, in all fairness to Geeklight, they're posing me a new control board tomorrow from China AND giving me the longer driver cables so as I can put the driver outside of the tent! Give me a bit more room for my Flower Initiator (and hopefully UVB Tube) and great to see them honouring the Warranty. RHC Seems to be flowering nicely as can been seen from the pics. Stacking well, buds coming along. Slight pinkish tip to the pistils on some buds but not the shocking pink as you'd see in the sales pics...hopefully it goes there though! Also noticing a bit of an early frost on a few flowers...like real good frost! And this is only day 1 of week 5 (I know, I do this diary arse about face)!!! Hoping Geeklight get this driver control board and longer cables to me quick so as I can get the driver out of the tent as I'd really like to get the UVB in there to frost them up in a week or 2!!! May only be getting about 9" clearance though so dunno, could be dangerous!!! 12" is the lowest recommended...but then, I could do the 15 min burst lighting (On 15, off 45 min every hour) so lower the risk of burn but get them more exposure (but lowers the lifetime of the tube). They get UVA from the LED's on the light at the moment for a 1/3 of the day and have been since early veg so should be hardened to it by now!!! Anyway, think that's enough s**te chatted by me!!! Happy growing all!!! 💪

Grow diary 11 stage 8 Day 71 to 80 This west coast o.g is attempting to flower after I knocked an hour off the lights. I'm thinking she needs me to go 12/12 so really her autoflower gene is redundant. She is taking over the tent and I'm having to move plants to another tent to finish them off. But on the bright side once the other 3 plants are out I can go back to adding a bit more nitrogen get it healthy and throw my net over her and switch to flower.

In questa settimana ho iniziato ad impostare gli steli nella rete, che sostituisce in parte le clip e consente l’espansione dello stelo andando a coprire il suo “quadrato” all interno della rete. Pulizia completa di tutto quello che si trova al di sotto della punta dello stelo in modo da favorire in nutrimento alla sola testa. Un altra settimana di attesa, il tempo che si allunghino gli altri steli ed arrivino più o meno tutti a livello e si procede con lo switch a 12/12 per partire con la fioritura (l’impostazione della lampada è ancora a 400w di potenza )

🌸 GrowDiaries Update — Week 11 (Week 7 Flower) Permanent Marker Pheno #1 & #2 — Flower Week 7 Here we are again, my dear growers — week 11 from seed, and what a journey it’s been! Our two beautiful phenos continue to show their individual personalities: Pheno #1, the tall dreamer, still reaching for the moon; and Pheno #2, the compact queen, steady and strong in her deep greens. Both are truly thriving, expressing themselves with grace and power. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now From the very first sprout to now, this grow has been a journey of observation, learning, and connection. We’ve seen perfect germination, vigorous vegetative growth, stunning branching, and a seamless transition into flower. We’ve tested light, temperature, airflow, and nutrition — keeping everything balanced with the organic Aptus program (Regulator, Top Booster, and CalMag), letting the soil and biology do their magic. ✨ This Week’s Focus — Trichomes, Terpenes & Color Explosion At week 7 of flower, nature begins to paint. Trichomes are swelling and clouding — a forest of frost starting to shimmer under the lights. Terpenes are coming alive, with rich, layered aromas filling the room: sweet, pungent, spicy, earthy. You can almost taste what’s to come. Flavonoids and anthocyanins are starting to express beautifully, especially on Pheno #1, which is showing the first touches of purple hues. Meanwhile, Pheno #2 remains loyal to her deep emerald tones — dense, resinous, and classic. ☀️ A Note on Light & Albino Tops Our big mama (Pheno #1) is stretching so close to the LED panel that her top is showing a touch of albinism — a bright, pale glow caused by intense light exposure. It’s not a problem; in fact, it adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. These light-stressed tops can sometimes develop special trichome patterns, and it’s fascinating to observe. A gentle reminder that even perfection has its quirks. 🌡️ Garden Conditions Temperature: High but stable with the AC in control. Humidity: Balanced despite the season’s challenges. Airflow: Excellent — a full dance of air and photons. Health: Exceptional. No bud rot, no major stress, just pure thriving energy. 🌍 Community & Gratitude The Dognabis Cup is in full bloom! Packages have arrived, diaries are opening, and the community is alive with creativity and inspiration. Let’s keep sharing, learning, and lifting each other up — because to grow is to share, and to bloom is to connect. Massive gratitude to our sponsors and supporters: Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds,the cannakan and TrolMaster — and of course, to GrowDiaries, to the growers, the dreamers, the lovers, and yes, even the haters. You’re all part of the story, and that’s what makes it real. 💚 🌼 What’s Next? Week 8 ahead — trichomes will turn cloudy, aromas will peak, and the girls will start signaling when they’re ready for their grand finale. We’ll talk harvest timing, resin maturity, and flushing techniques as we approach the end of this beautiful cycle. Until then — let the garden sing. 🌿 **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone**The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

Grateful to have the homie along on this journey. Moving the seedling tray from the greenhouse to the tent. On May 20th the homie GbaGrow cleared some spaced and welcome the new genetics to their new home. The goal is to between himself and I to identify the females, and created an environment to thrive in cultivation with the Holistic Approach. We will be showcasing various videos same species but in different environments, cultivated by different breeders, same team. RP (Me) RPB1 @GbaGrow MAY 23rd Is a visual update, the plants in the trays have been moved into individual solo cups. #StartedWithASolo We are excited to see what the future beholds. We are on to something, an unknown haze. Looking forward to feedback

ITA: finalmente ho comprato il deumidificatore che mi serviva. L'ho attaccato alla spina il giorno36 e spero che svolga il suo lavoro. Le piante stanno bene senza sintomi di eccessi o carenze di fertilizzazione. edit: il deumidificatore sta svolgendo il suo lavoro: ha abbassato l'umidità che è passata da 80-90% a 50% circa. ENG: I finally bought the dehumidifier I needed. I plugged it in on day 36 and hope it will do its job. Plants do well with no symptoms of excess or deficiency in fertilization edit: the dehumidifier is doing its job: it has lowered the humidity which has gone from 80-90% to about 50%.

Giorno 58 Purtroppo ho ancora problemi coi fertilizzanti(ogni volta non mi scende acqua da sotto al vaso e spesso si creano accumuli). Prossimo giro farò ancora 6 piante coi fertilizzanti e 3 con super soil Dogma!!! Ricordati sempre di pensare prima di tutto al seme che metterai in terra. Cerca la banca semi che ha i cloni ufficiali in casa della genetica a cui sei interessato e non fare la prima cosa che trovi al negozietto sotto casa!!! A settimana prossima. Grazie dei commenti e like ❤️👊

Whoa another week. 07-01-2020 ( Day 116) Heat is very strong in January on this latitude. I keep the tent door open almost all the time to help ventilation. She is developing more buds from the former buds, that's waht it looks like, so if this is the way I think I had seen this befor, she would be keeping on growing new little buds from the buds that have been already formed, thus instead of packing on bud weight, she develops more biomass creating new buds and elongating the ones that we already there. Day 117 08-01-2020 Yesterday I forget to cover the tent front with the nylon layer to prevent any light leaking through the zipper and pinholes that there are all over the frontal face, the grow room is at my back, when I sit by the computer, so, the front side gets all the glow from the monitor. So I gave her a continuous long night starting at 8 pm yesterday , lights were on by 8.30 and will be off by 17. Day 119 (10-01-2020) I added 0.2g/L Boost fertilizer (High K and P) twice a week every week, until further observations or whatever. So the final mixture is 0.4 g/L Bloom and 0,2 g/L Boost, plus the other general nutrients/additives. The inlet air fan broke so I had to run to the store to get another one. I hadn't checked before (MY BAD!!) but I'm positive that it broke today. By the way, today is extremely hot! (30 ºC /86ºF) by the mid tent's height where the thermometer is) so I let the tent door open and extra ventilation (of course that microbes, spores, dust and other shit that is getting inside the grow room rampantly in the meantime). Day 111 (12/019 One thing that puzzles me is the fact that some buds are frosty but other look at bare sight, like there were no, butwith the loupe, one sees that there are in fact many of them but very tiny (I hope they'll develop a little more later). The thing is why does it look kind of a different thricome maturation?

Well…these ladies have me always guessing! TYPICAL! Lmfao also growing a newer strain so I’m glad to be a part of it all. They’re def chunking up and showing signs of massive purpling on just a single plant. The other 4 aren’t quite there. Let me tell you though, the shorter one DEF have a berry/gas smell compared to the taller more sativa-like plants which have such a peculiar bud structure. Either way both looking awesome and quite surprised as to how they bounced back and are chunking up quite nicely. I’ll be expecting to use my ripening dry kool bloom next few waterings then flush time for the yum time 🤤 💨

За эту неделю он резко дал в рост, замечаю уже плавную подготовку перехода на предцвет, скоро покажет свой истинный пол, пахнет уже с нотками силы, не представляю что будет под конец цвета) эта неделя довольно спокойная, только подгинаю самые высокие и думаю как лучше его по обрезать ветки, так как их очень много, может быть на клоны срежу как раз для аута)

9/29/21 - We are marking today the first day of veg. That Mars Hydro TSW 2000 is doing a great job at 50% power. The plants all look great today! 9/30/21 - They look good. We are giving them water with no nutrients for this week so they will transplant nicely. 10/1/21 - They look great! I’ve been misting them in the morning. Soil is still wet from the transplant watering. We are waiting on fans and a scrog net. 10/2/21 - They are looking very good today. We mist them daily, sometimes twice a day. 10/3/21 - All plants look great! We stopped misting them for now. They look over watered a tad. We know it’s early but we started LST on a couple of the taller ones. 10/4/21 - Looking good! Just cruising along at 50% power, watering when dry. I know they won’t be low maintenance in a couple weeks when they are bushes. 10/5/21 - They look great! The ladies in the back are doing some LST still since they are much taller. It’s safe to say the roots are expanding and the plants overall are growing.
