🍒 Lemon Cherry Sundae Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro Diese Woche zeigt die Lemon Cherry Sundae eindrucksvoll, warum sich Geduld im RDWC-Anbau auszahlt. Nachdem die Pflanze in den ersten Wochen etwas Zeit brauchte, um ihr volles Potenzial zu entfalten, hat sie nun endgültig ihren Rhythmus gefunden. Das Wachstum wirkt äußerst harmonisch und jede Verzweigung trägt mittlerweile kräftige Blütenansätze. Besonders auffällig ist die gleichmäßige Entwicklung des gesamten Blätterdachs. Nahezu alle Haupttriebe befinden sich auf einer ähnlichen Höhe, wodurch das Licht optimal genutzt werden kann. Die Budsites füllen sich sichtbar und entlang der Colas entstehen immer mehr übereinanderliegende Blütenstände, die später zu langen, kompakten Speeren zusammenwachsen dürften. Die ersten Harzdrüsen bedecken inzwischen nicht mehr nur die Blüten selbst, sondern breiten sich bereits auf den umliegenden Sugar Leaves aus. Genau diese frühe Trichomentwicklung lässt auf ein sehr frostiges Endergebnis hoffen. Auch die Pflanzengesundheit überzeugt weiterhin. Die Blätter zeigen ein kräftiges Grün, die Blattstellung wirkt entspannt und es sind kaum Anzeichen von Nährstoffstress oder Mangelerscheinungen zu erkennen. Die rötlichen Blattstiele passen aktuell gut zum kräftigen Wachstum sowie zur intensiven LED-Beleuchtung und geben keinen Anlass zur Sorge. Insgesamt präsentiert sich die Lemon Cherry Sundae aktuell als äußerst vitale RDWC-Pflanze mit hervorragender Blütenentwicklung. Nun beginnt die Phase, in der sich die einzelnen Blütenstände Woche für Woche verdichten und an Gewicht zulegen werden. Wenn sie dieses Tempo beibehält, dürfte sie in den kommenden Wochen sowohl optisch als auch beim Ertrag noch einmal deutlich zulegen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍒 Lemon Cherry Sundae Automatic | RDWC | Plagron Hydro This week the Lemon Cherry Sundae clearly demonstrates why patience is often rewarded in RDWC cultivation. After taking a little longer to establish itself during the early stages, the plant has now fully found its rhythm. Growth is beautifully balanced and nearly every branch is producing healthy flower sites. One of the most impressive aspects is the even canopy. Most tops are sitting at a very similar height, allowing the lighting to reach the entire plant efficiently. Bud sites are stacking nicely along each branch, creating long flowering spears that should continue to bulk up over the coming weeks. Another highlight is the resin production. Trichomes are no longer limited to the flowers themselves but are already spreading across the surrounding sugar leaves. This early frost is a very promising sign for the final quality of the harvest. Plant health also remains excellent. The foliage has a rich green color, leaf posture looks relaxed, and there are very few signs of nutrient stress or deficiencies. The slightly reddish petioles appear to be a natural response to vigorous growth and strong LED lighting rather than a cause for concern. Overall, the Lemon Cherry Sundae is developing into a very healthy and vigorous RDWC plant with outstanding flower formation. From this point forward, the focus will shift toward swelling calyxes, increasing resin production, and steadily building dense, heavy colas. If she continues at this pace, the next few weeks should be spectacular. 🌱🍒

Plant 3's buds are really bulking up comparted to the rest. They are more square topped buds than the rest that are Christmas tree shaped. I'm keeping an eye on the trichomes. They are looking nice. Harvest is almost here!!!

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.

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.

420 Fastbuds Week 4 Gorilla Zkittlez Auto What up what up. Hope all is well with everyone's grows. This week's update is exciting especially being that the girls transitioned into flower. Showing preflower sites all over. It's a beautiful site. I did add a little GH Calimagic to the feeding to stop the rust spots from getting any worse. Seemed to do the trick. All in all Happy Growing

Today was a very cold night. Temperatur changes from 30°c to 20°c. U can tell that by looking at her leaves. usally it should change when the Temperatur gets higher again.

Die Blüten wachsen, sehr starke Genetik

5. týden květu..přihnojeno netopýřím trusem (guano)

Planted them in clear solo cups inside red ones with holes and bottoms cut. They sprouted after 3 days germination Date is sprout date. Super happy with these

Sour diesel autoflower from SeedsMafia 🌱 Dropped the seed in the water on 20.08.2021, it was in water for ~24 hours, then transplanted it to damp paper towel and kept it in a dark space, wasn’t too warm in there though 😕 The seed popped in the next day, I kept the seed in the paper towel for ~48 hours and then planted it into the pot with the sprout headed down 👍🏼

1️⃣02.10.23- День 94 от семечки и 34 день 12/12. Проведено мероприятие по разведению веток lst для проникновение света и лучшей циркуляции воздуха . В планах убирать по несколько листов за сеанс . В остальном растение счастливо , хоть она и не высокая) 2️⃣05.10.23- Проведена масштабная дефолиации около 30% листвы . Дабы избежать плесени и дать огромному количеству соцветий свет .

Hi! I switched the light schedule to 12/12 and did a heavy defoliation on both plants. They were really bushy and filled with fan leaves, I was bending and adjusting the bigger leaves daily, to leave space for the bud sites to get more light, but now they can really see the light. I didn’t amend the soil with more nutrients, as I said on the last weeks report. The humidity and temperature are pretty stable, I just watered with 4ml of compositing juice on 1L of water to try to eliminate the dry spots on the pot. On September 18 (21 days from the 12/12 start) I’ll do a final major defoliation. I’m hoping that they stretch a lot on the following weeks, I have plenty of space for vertical growth. That’s it for now, let the pistils begin!

Finally the Sour Strawberry started catching up! It seemed to have some sort of mutation where it topped itself and also rotated while growing. In the timelapse you can see the entire plant rotates about 90° over the course of the week. Sadly the other 3 plants kept throwing new issues at me and were at very different heights, all while the Sour Strawberry was tiny. Bending them had little effect and I did not actually want to super crop them just yet. I had to put in a net.

Cultivar SPETTACOLARE! Ho raccolto Midnight Marathon F4 e 91 Grape e sono rimasto veramente sorpreso dalla qualità dei terpeni! Midnight Marathon F4 ha degli odori og, molto gassosi e delicati mentre la 91 Grape è un esplosione di chimico,uva, caramelle con un tocco gassoso, le cime sono grosse quanto una lattina di coca e sono incastonate di tricomi! Midnight Marathon F4 invece è estremamente sedativa! Ho fatto un test di Bubble hash con 91 Grape ed ha prodotto più di qualsiasi altra pianta che ho coltivato in passato! Pubblicherò le foto di seguito! In crescita ancora Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix che sembra essere la più resinosa della cultivar e Hervey Wellbanger che odora praticamente di colla con un sottofondo dolciastro! Night owl è diventata la mia banca di semi preferita dopo questa coltivazione perché ho potuto vedere quanto valgono questi semi! In flush entrambe penso di raccogliere la prossima settimana così posso concludere questo splendido diario!

We are at week 3 now. A lot of development, i have not used liquid nutes this week, it is raining a lot so no water needed, thus no liquid nutrients. I have top feed of dry nutrients mix, basically a mixture of a super soil recipe that usually is used within to make a hot soil: I mix all tue ingredients together and use it gradually about 40g as a powder, in the top of the soil. - Azomite 500g - Natural fosfate 500g - Biochar 1kg - Bokashi 1kg -Kelp meal 500g -Mamona meal 1kg -chicken meal 1kg -Potassium silicate 500g -Gypsum farm 500g -Diatomaceous earth 500g Mix all keep it in a soil bag, this pure mix and use it once every month. The companion plants have emerged and will protect the soil humidity mainly.

Tag 86: Auf in die letzte Woche!

Another easy week. I'm heading into autumn so I'm having some temp and humidity fluctuations. Nothing too crazy. Hash plant and Zed black are cruising to the finish. Some hash plants will finish over the next couple days. The Zed blacks are looking like they need 1.5 weeks. Hash plant smelling like diesel, spicy hash, tennis balls Zed black smelling like rotten fruit and lemons. I got about 3 keepers I want to use for breeding. Along with the two rainbow belts it's a nice stock to work with. The males are revenged. I will be transplanting into larger pots and flipping to flower while I reveg the selected flowers after harvest

These two plants have given me the experience and the desire to do even better! Next genetics I thought I would bring another pure Indica...
