Hello friends and welcome to my first report and my very first grow! 🍁 Please follow me so you don’t miss any of my other grows. Thanks buddy! 🙏🏼 And also don’t miss my introducing to see more information about me and my entire collected knowledge! (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/209900-the-best-grow-journal-by-rick-and-growty) ________________________________________ My weeks always start on a Sunday. So today I define 19.05.2024 as the first day of the 3rd week. Because I got the plants as cuttings and they already had a certain size, I can’t determine an exact age at the beginning, unlike when growing them from seeds. ________________________________________ 19.05.2024 Today is the first day of the 3rd week so I decided to plant the girls in their final 18l pots and gave them 2l water with 0.25g/l of BioEnhancer and also a pinch of Great White Premium Mycorrhizae - [to get] “Killer Roots for Killer Plants” 🦈 I will give them 2 days to recover before adding the BioGrow growth fertilizer with a concentration of 3g/l pot volume.

Four of five plants will ba harvested right after taking those photos. Strawberry Cough will stay longer - as long as I can keep her alive - she already lost most of leaves but she is far from being ready. She now have whole tent for herself 😂 I need to give her another ScrOG net - she is starting to bulk and already colas are too big to stay vertical by themselves. Thank you 👉 TrolMaster 👈 for providing the Tent-X controller. It was awesome!

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 esta temporada cultivando leyendas sativas... todo por la causa! Cinco semanas desde el paso a floración, la gran hembra colombiana, sin complejos, destaca con estilo propio frente a mis otras cepas más avanzadas, ¡un bosque floreado me espera para perderme en él! Que hablen las fotos.... Feliz verano cultivadores! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!! =========================================================================== Esta cepa es un retro cruce entre RedSnake (79 oaxacan x punto rojo) x Punto Rojo, me regaló la semilla un buen cultivador @1Right_Angle Más información de ambas cepas: https://es.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Oaxacan_Tribute_F1/Sativa_Hoarders_Seed_Co/ https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Colombia_Punto_Rojo/Cannabiogen/ La Colombia Punto Rojo, o simplemente Punto Rojo, es una variedad de cannabis de dominancia sativa, caracterizada por su alto contenido de THC. El cannabis fue importado a Colombia desde África en el siglo XVIII. La cepa Punto Rojo es originaria de las zonas altas del centro y norte del país, y se popularizó en toda Sudamérica y en los Estados Unidos durante la década de los 70 y 80. Al igual que otras variedades autóctonas de las áreas tropicales, la Punto Rojo tiende al hermafroditismo.

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.

Small update, starting week 4, 22 days. Tying down and training a lot. I've learned so much, I'm excited more for my next grow than this harvest. In the past week no major changes, Gelato finally start budding, it was last. Drinking around 7-10 litres a day now. Mainly just filling res and training/pruning here and there. Sooo bushy especially Gelato. Around the halfway mark after this week so hoping everything stays as is. Temperature here has dropped out side now about 5°C on avg, so leaving tent temps right down 16-17°C at coldest lights off point. Needed an hours heat to boost at lights on some days to push to 21°C after that the lights will bring to 24-27 and maintain. Humidity in the tent jumps but the air is a consistent 45-50% so not worried at this stage if seeing readings high. I'll be moving dehumidifier inside the tent towards the end. Video uploaded at end of pics.

¡Hola a todos! Han pasado 3 semanas de floración y ya se pueden ver pequeños brotes. He estirado aún más las ramas que han crecido. También he recortado las hojas enormes para que la luz pueda penetrar en el interior de la planta. He agregado más fósforo al fertilizante para estimular la floración. Ahora solo queda la etapa final de la floración. ¡Estoy esperando con ansias!

That’s all she wrote ladies and gents! As seen previously in this grow diary, this was a micro plant. Only yielded a couple buds but they are glorious! Beautiful color, reasonably frosty, pungent sweet citrus and berry aroma. Looking forward to growing out this strain again - properly next time.

After lots of perturbations, including visit from electricity company and moving 80cm-1m plants to another location in plastic bags 😅 we finally can start this run. Plants look super happy so far. They are all my best clones. This time I will try another cut of violet face and it will be probably the last time I grow her. I have coco jambo from. Anesia in another tent. There is so many names strains to discover. I’m so pumped for the future. If you wish, please join me on the next adventure. Cheers, Growers love

PSA!! PSA!! PSA!! WATCH those ZeroWater pitchers... when the filter goes, it goes FAST. Leaves you with a ton of undesirables, and AN EXTREMELY ACIDIC PH!! Acidity in the body leads to CANCER! will kill your plants fast as fuck too. ======================================================================================================== 2 Girls 1 Cup week 11? We should come to a finish this week... oh the excitement. Can't wait to see WG without her leaves. Going to have to cut each branch and hang individually due to the density of its structure. Got this far, don't want to risk moldy weed.. damn I'm gonna get bored while drying/curing not having a plant or diary to occupy the time. Day 77- currently flushing the girls. GC isn't ready for it, but she isn't in charge here. She should have stuck with WG when she extended a helping hand. Since falling behind, WG has thrown up a peace sign to GC as to say "see ya sucker". It's my favorite bud by far on WG. Bitch has got an attitude 🤣. RES sitting at 87ppm @5.9. Yellowing has started.. going to have to check trics more often so I get that sweet spot I'm looking for. ======================================================================================================== Day 78- these girls are starting to stink! Come on WG... ripen up so we can get this over with.. lowered lights power a bit today. RES climbed from 87 to 137. Drained 2gal, added 2gal RO. down to 38ppm. Forgot to mention the ice probe has been unplugged for over a week now. Been putting a 3/4 full 1L frozen bottle in the RES to chill. Rotate out every 12hr with a fresh. At lights on, and 12hr later. Full bottle got Temps too low for my liking. ======================================================================================================== Day 79- tick tock.. tick tock.. come on WG.. she's showing a little fade on her leaves. Seeing more of a calcium difficiency on her fans than fading honestly. Trichomes taking their time ripening as well. I'm SURE this strain ambers up.. taking their time for me though.. dont know how long I feel comfy flushing hydro though.. I did notice a few exploded trichomes up top, which has me thinking I need to go ahead and chop within the next couple days. If I notice any more ruptured anywhere else I haven't poked it with the scope.. I'm hanging the bitch that night. May give her 24hr dark period, since I've tried some other bro-science and it seemed to help. *edit* felt bad starving WG and she's not more amber coated. Gave her a bit of nutrition tonight. GHE aggressive ripen. M-2.8mL/g G-2.8mL/g B-4.5ml/g and 5mL calmag (using RO). Came out high @ 867 so I pulled 2L and dumped 2L RO in. Sitting at 613 @ 5.9. ======================================================================================================== Day 80- well, the 3 days starving the girls kicked their metabolism back in gear. I want more amber before chop chop. They quit eating and were drinking MUCH less signaling the end. Was down to topping off once a day, maybe a liter to a liter and a half. Since feeding yesterday, they've started eating and drinking like they were on week 10 again. Topped off 3.5L in the last 16hrs. TDS dropping with water level, even more when topped off with straight RO. I'm not giving em any more nutes. Last push for some extra weight before the end. ALLOT more frosty today than yesterday as well. ======================================================================================================== Day 81- Started flushing again. Maybe starting their metabolism again will help ripen these trics. If not, they're getting chopped @ day 84. Don't want to let em go too long and regret it. I may have f'd em up feeding again after the 3 days starving. Time will tell ======================================================================================================== Day 83- still waiting... 💤 Going to order some bubble bags. Freezing all GC and trim/larf from WG for some bubble hash. GC is frosty and all white like WG, just tiny popcorn shit everywhere since it's been neglected and abused over and over and over and over 🤣. ======================================================================================================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. full timelapse added to this week 27-70 (looks better on YT.. https://youtu.be/8JdUkR36Wfc)

(Slight Nute burn this week so flushed with PH 6 water and dropped resevoir PPM from 1000 to 800) About 2-3C difference between ambient air temperature and leaf surface temperature (24.5-25C) . No defoliation, just pushing larger fan leaves down. Tying down branches to keep canopy flat. Light: Red/Blue/2x full spectrum CREE COBs (+IR and UV supplementation) At plant canopy = Avg. PPFD 770umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 25,000-35,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 50-55 Crop control: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb Ed Rosenthal -Zero Tolerance on hand if needs be too.

The germination i forgot to take pictures so i just have a video of the first 3 strains i started before the other seeds arrived. I used the same metod for all of them 24h in the glass of water after that 48h in the cotton pads in the zip lock bag with 3 sprays of water on the cotton pads and 1 spray when inside the zip lock bag is closed untill 80% leaving a small gap for them to breath. I decided to plant them after that in the final resting pot for this strain in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I used the following media on the bottom of the fabric pot i used 10% of Goldlabel HydroCorn after filled up with Ecothirve coco (70% coco 30% perelite) and i made a hole for my potting soil where i used Advanced Nutrients coco cultivator (50% coco 30% perelite 20% pebbles) and i mixed on the media some Azos , Mykos and Great white. The light Schedule for the first 5 days was 24/0 After that is on a 18/06 light Schedule. Just water the plants on the 15/06 i think all my seedlings are stuned because my light is too strong for them and the light is dimed to 25%. And my light meter for lux is saying i have 8600Lux converted is 148 and my DLI on the meter from the phone is saying 150 so its 3x times more the recomended i just dont understand if this phone app is working correctly. So i have decided to put one more seed directly on the soil beacuse they look the most stunned of them all on the 14/06 still didn t germinate i will keep the one is gonna grow stronger thats why there is the dome. Update on the order from spider farmer from Ebay (Order the item on a thursday and the order was not updated on ebay on the following Monday so decided to contact them to understand when i am gonna receive my order i was told true ebay that my item as been shipped and i will receive an update within 1 hour to tell what time the item will be delivered. So never received any message giving me time slot delivery. Never received the item and at 21pm the tracking updeted on Ebay saying delivered so i contected them next day to be told that the courrier actually lost my order and that they will reshippe the order again but was told i need to wait 2 buiness days for the warehouse to processe my order beacuse they are busy what i replied that why should be me the costumer that needs to wait 5 or 6 more days for the order to arrive to me that they should send me the item on the same day and send me with one day delivery. The ansewer was they could not do it so i cancell the order asked for a refund and never more use their products appailing costumer service)

Week 6 - Week without surprises. No-till cycle working well, watering only with water, but note that the companion plants still grow crooked. Soon the soil still shows signs of excesses, I believe that in the next cycles these excesses will be fixed. Hugz from Brazil.

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)

60 days into flowering now, pulled 2 of these girls 7 days ago because 1 had a few bananas on it and the other was stressed to much from light and not really giving any quality bud and it was stretched out taking up lots of space. The 2 left have been flushing a little over a week now and are very close to harvest. I will prob harvest them sometime this week. Everything is going good so far anyway for these 2 and we will hopefully get some nice dense buds, we will see. Cheers💨 Day-62 update Found my microscope! Got some picks up of the tricombs up now, and as I suspected they are not quite ready yet. There are a few amber but I’m still seeing clear ones, but there mostly all cloudy now so I’m thinking another week or so will probably do it. That will give me a good 2 week flush as well. I got some pics and a video up as well just before my lights came on so there better then under the HPS anyway. Lol cheers💨

🌌 Skywalker OG — Week 1 Legend of the Galaxy Grow Week: 1 Stage: Seedling Light Schedule: 12/12 from seed Environment: Same conditions as the rest of the room 🌱 Medium & Containers This run includes two different setups for Skywalker OG: • PRO-MIX soil in fabric bags • Plagron Bio Light Mix in a plastic pot, placed in an AutoPot tray (not connected yet) The AutoPot system remains inactive at this stage. As with the rest of the room, the decision on which plants will be connected to the outer pots will be made later, once growth patterns are more clearly established. 🌿 Growth & Structure Skywalker OG is showing excellent early vigor during its first week. • Strong, upright seedling development • Long, elegant leaves • Healthy, vibrant green coloration • No signs of stress, deficiencies, or irregular behavior Despite the different soils and containers, all plants are developing beautifully, with no noticeable differences so far. Growth has been uniform and confident across the board. Vegetative Feeding & Foliar Program (Standard) During the vegetative stage, all plants in the room are receiving the same feeding and foliar recipe, regardless of soil type or container. This approach allows for consistent observation and easier comparison between setups. Root & Base Nutrition (Watering) • Terra Grow Used as the base nutrient to provide balanced nitrogen and essential elements required for steady vegetative growth without pushing the plants too hard. • Power Roots Included to promote strong and healthy root development, helping plants establish quickly and efficiently in their respective mediums. • Pure Zym Enzymes are used to break down dead root material, improve nutrient availability, and maintain a clean, active root zone. • Sugar Royal Supports plant metabolism and microbial activity, contributing to overall plant vitality and resilience throughout the vegetative phase. Foliar Application • Vita Race Applied as a foliar spray to stimulate chlorophyll production, enhance resistance, and support vigorous growth. Foliar feeding is used flexibly, typically once to twice per week, depending on plant response and overall mood of the grow. The plants respond very well to it, and it is used confidently without signs of stress. Feeding Philosophy This vegetative recipe is designed to be balanced, supportive, and stress-free, focusing on: • Root health • Efficient nutrient uptake • Strong early structure • Long-term plant resilience The same recipe is maintained through Week 1, Week 2, and the full vegetative stage, unless adjustments are needed later based on plant behavior. 🔍 Observations • All plants responding positively to the feeding and foliar program • No nutrient burn or deficiencies observed • Consistent growth across different soils and containers • Seedlings appear relaxed, strong, and well-adapted 🚀 What to Expect Next • Continued root expansion • Faster above-ground growth • Potential early differences between soil types as development progresses • Future decision regarding AutoPot activation and outer pot connections For now, everything is running smoothly.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.
