Hey all sorry for the late update. Got really busy with work and just wasnt uploading. I had to cull phat Gary cause she was a genetic herm, I’m talking pollen sacks all the way up the main stem. I’ve seen a few stress sacks here and there on the lowers but nothing like this. I added a video of it so you might know what to look out for. It’s my first experience with exotic genetix and while I have heard of them having herm issues before, I have never had anything quite like phat Gary. But, on the other hand, this Gary Poppins #2 is the best smelling plant I’ve ever had. She smells like a straight strawberry soda, just this very fizzy strawberry scent. It’s unreal. Gary Poppins #1 has a similar terp profile, but not as loud and she’s frosty as ever. Both the perm marker s1’s are identical. Both look exactly like the perm marker flower I’ve bought from seed junky in the past. Very lime green buds with light oranges hairs. Smells just like a permanent marker. Couldn’t be happier with how this run is going, well except Phat Gary. Still haven’t decided on Exotic Genetix yet. I guess we will wait and see how Blueberry Gary comes out, she’s currently in week 6 veg. Shout out to the mad scientist Jbeezy though, this perm marker is unreal. When I saw he was releasing s1’s I couldn’t believe it. Gonna wash this entire run for some fresh frozen. I would absolutely love to get this Gary Poppins #2 smell to transfer to some live rosin. Will update this when we finish and I’ll make a diary for blueberry Gary and Gastro pop from compound genetics when I get a chance. Until then, happy growing all Day: 52F - Week 8 🌡️:79 Fahrenheit 💦:50% 💡:75% @ 14 inches

Had some family time last week and unfortunately caught covid with all the symptoms. I've been bed bound since Monday and today I'm starting to feel slighty better. Not asking for sympathy 🤣 but this explains why some of my girls have switched on me... Looks like all 3 Frosted Biscotti have gone into reveg. Obviously have a light leak but think I've sorted it now. The mystery is just well under feed as I've run out of Bloom and big Buds and its also gone into reveg. The other coco ones haven't gone into reveg and almost look done. Biscotti Mintz and Bahama Bussdown look 🔥 well impressed. The mutant Biscotti Mintz (soil) has come along nicely and looks amazing. I don't get why that hasn't revegged as its surrounded buy the others that have. The 2 at the back, (Bahama Bussdown) ones taken a slight knock and revegged and the other one has just got to heavy and collapsed. Again looks near enough done so now need to think of a plan of action for curing as tent will be occupied for at least another month. So I think that's it with the problems 🤣 .. Apologies again for not getting back to anyones dairys over the last 2weeks. I'm going to spend the weekend catching up with you all and sorting out the tent as long as I'm covid clear. My partner has been doing so much for my son and I I couldn't ask her to maintain the tent aswell. She did give them a water but no nutrients 🙈 half effort still wins my heart ❤️ Discount codes in bio for Mars hydro

The harvest is pretty small but in these conditions, I didn't expect much more. This grow was more for fun than for harvest so I'm quite happy with it :) - I didn't weight wet buds. - Drying was made around 21°C and around 55% of humidity. Veg time : 29 days. Flowering time : 48 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 81 days. Height : 53cm Pot size : 10l

Hey guys how is it going? This time we are trying new things Introducing techniques like Defoliation, topping, HST, LST This week we wanted to make sure The energy of this girl goes directly to the buds and hopefully we get a bigger and better yield than before in our past experiences Alright guys so here's the conclusion of this week #8 From day 1 til the end of the week Check out the pictures and videos Alright guys let me know your opinion If you have any tips please let me know as well, I'm also planing on adding molasses later on floating stage also this fertilizer named beastie bloomz not sure if you know it but they say it helps you get weigh on your buds, please let me know if you have work with it before in the past and if is good as they say it is Also about the molasses when and how is the best time to add them? Thanks a lot and have a wonderful week Happy growing peace and love friends

Day 1 week 12. Has it been that long? Wow. Nothing dramatic yet. The twins seem to like the new feeding recipe. Drinking a bit more now that they are flowering and winter is here so the air is drier. Day 4 week 12. Starting to see frost. and even some amber on the top of the bud sites. hope it is natural and not premature aging.

Week 4 – Day 30 (VT30 / BT6) RedPure#4 is starting to live up to her name – the first purple tones are showing! 💜 She’s also picked up growth this week – the stretch seems to be kicking in 🔥 So far, no signs of stress or issues. She’s developing steadily and stays compact, but with noticeable progress. Excited to see how far she’ll go in the coming weeks! 🌿⏳

Week 14 from seed — or around Week 9 flower in this 12/12 from seed journey — and today we focus on our Sour Diesel. The small one. The difficult one. The “unhappy” girl of the room. And honestly? Sometimes those are the plants that teach us the most. This report also represents the beginning of harvest time for her, although we decided to divide the final documentation into multiple updates because there were simply too many photos and too much to talk about in a single post. So this entry focuses mainly on the living plant itself: her structure, morphology, resin production, density, colors, trichomes, and overall expression before harvest. The next report will go deeper into the harvest process itself — cutting, trimming, drying, observations after chop, and eventually the smoke review once everything is properly cured. Now, let’s address the obvious part first: yes, she stayed much smaller than the rest of the room. And that’s completely okay. When growing multiple genetics together in one shared environment, perfection for every individual plant becomes impossible. One room cannot fully satisfy the exact preferences of every cultivar at the same time. Some genetics dominate the environment naturally, while others adapt differently. Sour Diesel in this case never became the biggest or happiest plant in the tent, but she never stopped fighting either. And honestly, there is something beautiful about that. Despite her smaller structure, she produced dense, compact flowers with excellent frost coverage and surprisingly solid stacking. She may not have filled the room vertically, but she absolutely made her presence known up close. Sometimes quality hides inside smaller frames. Morphologically she developed in a very compact way compared to the taller spear-shaped plants around her. Tight internodes, clustered flower sites, chunky calyx development, and resin-covered sugar leaves gave her a very distinct look in the room. As harvest approached, the flowers started showing more maturity signals everywhere: pistils darkening and curling inward, calyxes swelling harder day after day, resin heads thickening, and that beautiful late-flower texture beginning to appear across the buds. And honestly, the trichomes are looking gorgeous. Frost levels became impressive for such a small plant, especially in macro range. Under magnification, the flowers almost stop looking real. Tiny crystal forests everywhere, sticky sugar leaves, swollen resin heads, and layers of texture forming across every surface. Some trichomes are still clear, many are cloudy, and small amber signs are beginning to appear here and there — exactly the kind of progression we like to monitor carefully during these final stages. The colors also started telling the end-of-cycle story. Greens slowly softening, pistils shifting into orange and brown tones, flowers tightening up and looking heavier despite the plant’s overall small size. She may not have been the easiest plant in the room, but visually she absolutely earned her moment. And of course, we cannot ignore the newest member of the inspection team: our tiny plastic fly friend. He or she took the job very seriously this week, carefully inspecting trichomes, density, calyx development, and overall quality control during the photoshoot. Thankfully, the inspection passed successfully. No complaints from management. This update is also a reminder that not every successful plant needs to be gigantic. Sometimes growers become too focused on size and forget to appreciate resilience, uniqueness, resin quality, flower density, or simple beauty. Sour Diesel may have remained compact, but she still carried herself with character all the way to the finish line. For now, we continue observing and documenting her final living moments before harvest. The next update will dive much deeper into the actual chop, trimming, drying process, and final impressions once she officially completes her journey. So if anyone has been following this little fighter since the beginning, stay tuned — we are not finished with her story yet. Massive thanks once again to everyone involved in this journey: Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the support. The sponsors and equipment partners helping make these projects possible. Grow Diaries for providing the platform. The growers sharing advice and positivity. The longtime followers who have been here since the first weeks. The new people discovering the project now. The skeptics, the critics, the silent viewers, the supporters — everybody crossing through here adds something to the experience. From grower to growers, thank you for following along. And to our little Sour Diesel: small, stubborn, frosty, and unforgettable. — A quick note about some of the macro photos and “photo merges” shared in this diary. A lot of the close-up images shown here are actually focus-stacked macro photographs. That means they are not a single photo, but a combination of many images merged together to create one final detailed shot. Depending on magnification and depth, some stacks here were made from around 50–60 photos, while the biggest one in this update reached around 255 individual frames. Why? Because at high magnification, the depth of field becomes incredibly small. Sometimes only a tiny part of the trichome or calyx is in focus at once. So we take many photos while slowly shifting focus through the subject, capturing different layers of detail from front to back. After that, all frames are merged together using Affinity Photo 2, creating a single image with much more depth and sharpness than a normal macro shot could achieve alone. Final color adjustments and edits are also done afterward to better represent what we experienced visually in the studio. So behind every “simple” trichome photo there is actually a surprising amount of work, patience, and processing involved — but honestly, it’s worth it. These plants become entire microscopic worlds once you get close enough. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

In der letzten Vegi-Woche präsentiert sich die Pflanze in bestem Zustand. Da die sechs Hauptriebe inzwischen recht stabil und kaum noch biegsam sind, gehe ich kein Risiko ein und drücke sie nicht weiter unter das Scrog-Netz. Um sie dennoch ungefähr auf gleicher Höhe zu halten, habe ich sie mit einem am Netz befestigten Draht etwas weiter nach außen und unten gezogen. In der Mitte haben sich inzwischen viele neue Nebentriebe entwickelt und den Bereich gut gefüllt. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich die Umstellung auf die Blüte vorbereitet. Der Cover Crop wurde so weit wie möglich zurückgeschnitten und mit Hanffasermulch abgedeckt. So möchte ich die oberste Schicht trockener halten und die Stickstoffproduktion durch Klee und Weidegras verringern. Der Tropfring wurde entfernt und durch fünf Blumat-Verteiltropfer mit jeweils 20 cm Abstand ersetzt. Ab jetzt soll die Bewässerung wieder automatisch über Blumat laufen. Es wurde erneut mit Nematoden gegossen. Die Trauermücken werde ich bislang nicht los. Vielleicht hilft der Mulch, weil er den Zugang zur Erde erschwert. Der VPD wurde erneut erhöht, und zum Ende der Woche schalte ich den Luftbefeuchter aus. Die Parameter in Woche 6: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI VPD 1,2 – 1,4 Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI VPD 1,0– 1,2 Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 26,5 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 23,9 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 52,6% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 52,3% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,3 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,1 Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit in Mbar: 85 LED Leistung: 20% = 90 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

Defoliated some of the bigger fan leaves, I know it may be risky technique but since she has grown into the tent, space is tight and in order to maximise flower sites, I decided to remove some foliage to get better coverage. Flowering is taking off and have decided to increase the dosage of the nutrients to see if she can handle the feeding, she has grown quickly in the last couple of days and want to see if I can push her to the maximum. Healthy and happy plants, no more issues with spidermites (Thank goodness!), no more needing to treat a flowering plant (if I had to, I would drench the plant in a mixture of H202, liquid dishwashing detergent and water to ensure that buds are not covered with nasty chemicals). Clones have been taken and in this pic, can be seen that it has rooted, clones were taken off during defoliation session during 2nd week of flower.

The conditions are very stable and I added some Ripen today. I will see day by day what to do. I don't want the hurry pushes me to harvest too soon... ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6.1 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D82 - 04/11 📜 She's almost ready, but is not yet the time. Maybe I will flush tommorow. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D83 - 05/11 📜 She ripened tonight and now I'm positive she's absolutely ready. I started the flush and I will harvest on Sunday. 👍 ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 5.9 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D84 - 06/11 📜 Florakleen and darkness today. Tomorrow I will harvest ✍️ 1,8 EC ♒ 4,2 pH 🌊 11 L 📏 110 cm

The plant continue to grow incredibly strong and fast from now on I well slow down on grow nutrientes cuz the leaves are very dark green and we are well into flowering meaning they don't need that much not nitrogen anymore. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Seems to be taking well to being moved to the 5gal pot. Growing a lot faster after the 2nd day in the bigger pot. Watered for the first time since planting in big pot after 5 days with 1L distilled water (Ph 7) mixed with 1/2 tsp. fox farms grow big and 1/2 tsp. big bloom. Since my soil is considered hot soil I wanted to use less than the recommendation on the bottle.
