I messed up and didnt get many pics as me and my buddy were very very busy trimming from 10am-10pm got the 1 blue cheese plant finished!!! In 12 hours we did 1 plant thats fricken insane considering me and him did 8 of his outdoor plants in less time back in fall,more bud than i have ever seen on a plant under 3ft shit it had more bud on it than the 8 footer i grew last fall lol just so impressed with this plant i will definitely be growing many more blue cheese using FOOP nutes in the future thats for sure ,i am not touching any of this nugget until its dried and cured...gonna be hard to resist lol but it will be worth it for sure 😉

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

Day 57 - The girls are bursting with flower....... looked abit light (the main tops looked a light green, showed signs of nutrient deficiencies), so upped the Dutch Master Gold One Flower, it's 1000 ppm now.... thinking about Defoliation... outside temperatures are middle of winter, 0oC to 20oC (32oF to 70oF) .... but typical high low is 5-15oC (40-60oF)......... surprisingly the LED's warm the tent upto 20-24oC, this is important point.... i am running the lights, 6 pm to 6 am... 12hrs lights on all night, and all day is night mode...... during the day is the highest temps of the day... and during the lowest temps, they have the light heat ....... Day 61 - I trimmed em .... this was the third defoliation..... things are starting to get sticky..... ah i'm just going to wing it.... they are 2 months (8 wks) from seed.... idk what i'm doing....... i did some serious stress bending today, and had to put afew tie downs in..... my theory is to hurt em as much as i can without killin em.... to make em harder, stronger, faster, more stressed, so they can survive anything..... grow em stronger...... the smell is zero in the home, but once i got them out for their 2 week haircut, they started producing some strong wet kisses, that were sticky and wet.... the aroma of heavenly ladies was abundant...... 😎😎 idk... this tastes so good.... it's like some kind of weird berry combo goodness.... i'm vaping vanilla custard atm and this is so good with vanilla custard.... vanilla custard kush n cookies... haha watch the video......... 😎

25-2: Throughout the week, I'm observing two phenomena simultaneously: a portion of the upper leaves turning a lighter green and/or appearing to have a yellowish hue. One plant has curled leaves at the top of the plant but limited to one layer of leaves. The tips are yellowed with dark spots. Due to rapid growth, the plant flew too close to the sun and burned its wings, was my assessment. In other words, light burn. The leaves becoming lighter are located in several layers from the top to halfway down the plant. I suspect there is a deficiency and perform a slurry test. The EC is low at 0.24 and the pH is good at 6.3. The soil is still too wet to feed, which presents a dilemma: feed with the risk of wet feet or wait a bit longer with the risk that the deficiencies become more severe? To mitigate this, I gave foliar feeding (Terra Bloom 0.5 ml per liter) by spraying the leaves without really wetting them. I did this just after the lights were out. A day later, I first flushed the plants with a few liters of water pH 6.4 and then gave them nutrients with EC 1.3 and pH 6.4: Terra Bloom (+/- 4 ml per liter), Sugar Royal (1 ml per liter), and a tiny bit of Great White and orthosilicic acid. And hung the lights back at 30 cm. It seems to be working because I see the color coming back slightly and the yellowing has at least stopped. Furthermore, I'm keeping the day and night temperature a bit higher at about 25 degrees Celsius during the day and around 21 at night. This is to limit the humidity at night and during the day to increase the VPD to about 1.45. At the end of the week I see the end of the stretch and standing 87 cm tall at average. The gas is on, and ready to go full throttle to the finish! SensiMiller Dr. Green Thumbs Plant Wizz GPT has the day off :) 23-2: "At week 9, our Skunk #1 Feminised plants have shown notable progress. The journey so far has been a blend of anticipation and strategic care. This week, we observed a robust growth spurt, a testament to the nurturing they've received. The balance of water, light, and nutrients has been key. Reflecting on the journey, it's clear that each decision, from the lighting schedule to the nutrient mix, played a crucial role in their current state. Their resilience and growth are not just a result of our efforts but a dance with nature itself." Dr Green Thumbs I can concur with my artificial assistant that the ladies are looking good and the strategy worked. However, this also required constant care, monitoring, observation, discussing the state of the plants, options, and mitigation with Dr. Green Thumbs GPT, and thinking ahead. SensiMiller

In this dairy I will be growing two, Big Kush photoperiod plants alongside 4 others (see other dairies) using the methods of Topping, Low Stress Training, ScrOG and slight defoliation under the screen. I am growing in a 4x4 area and will be using a 250W MH, 400W & 600W HPS over the grow period. The other 4 plants will be grown using the same technique and environment, I am just splitting the dairies into separate strains as recommended by GrowDairies. The seeds were placed directly into solo cups that were pre-soaked with plan, pH'd water overnight beforehand. After three days all seedlings had emerged, and I placed them in the shadow of my other plants currently being grown for three more days. After this I transplanted them directly into the 11L pots that they will be in until harvest (see photos). I will be growing the plants until the are roughly 6 weeks old or 1m tall, whichever comes first. I will be bending them and keeping the branches low to build an even canopy, so this time period could change. All of the seedlings are being grown in BioBizz all-mix soil, so I will not be using nutrients either for the first 1-2 weeks. Any questions or recommendations, please let me know! Thanks :)

Another week and not much has changed. This lady is very picky with feedings. Been having trouble keeping her happy the last week now. She has started to frost up a bit which is nice to see. I have to say I am a little confused as to how this is a Fast Version. She is the slowest flowering plant I have and she was billed as being the quickest?? 🤔 She is starting to smell a little now and the smell is quite sweet 😁 Hopefully I can dial his lady in in the coming week. I’m thinking I want to retry this girl indoor and see if I can control her better inside. I think my main issue was pot size this time and a late transplant. But 🤞 I can still get it to the finish line. 😎🍿 I am considering trying to move her out of the greenhouse this weekend. We will see if I can wiggle her out the small door lol.

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos 4 weeks of flowering completed 26th March 2020 Hi Everyone I hope you are well , This Plant is starting to get some frosting happening and the smell has elvolved a little once again 😏 It's still got the tropical fruit like aroma but has got an underlying smell almost like honey. I had to get up Early this morning as an impending thunderstorm threatened to drench my plants which I wasn't going to let happen 😡 bloody rain 😆 It's all good now they are under cover and protected from any more showers we may have . She had a good feed yesterday of some Liquid potasium, Seaweed solution , Epsom salts and Mollasses so she should be content until the sun returns . Ph is still keeping stable at 6.4 so that's about it for the plant update Now It's time for the Weekly Aussie Music Videos 🙌 Last Week was jimmy Barnes and his song Working class Man This week I am playing The Angels as requested from @Lovemabud . The Angels are an Australian rock band that formed in Taperoo, a small beachside suburb in Adelaide South australia in 1974 There biggest hit "Am I ever gonna see you face again?" became iconic because of the pub chant that followed which was "No Way , Get Fucked! Fuck Off!" 😆 If you watch the 2nd vid preview you will understand what I'm on about . Sadly the lead singer Bernard "DOC" Neeson Passed away in 2014 from a Brain tumor. First link is to the original version of "Am I ever gonna see your face again" and the 2nd link is to one of the final performences before Docs death with the full Pub chant Link 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj_QkLrW3qc Link 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-VZP1pCIL8 I hope you enjoy this weeks Aussie Music Video and I'll be back next week with another one . Take care 👍👊 Stay positive 👍

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my 🍌💜👊girls development 🧑‍🌾 Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone 🤶🎄❄️🎁☃️✌️💚🌲🎅🎄 Stay tuned for new week update ✨🍀✨✌️💚

There drinking half the amount they were last week around 1l per 12l pot. The smell coming from 4 strains is amazing and overpowering too lol Amazing trichomes production on all of them but noticeably on the ethos - white wedding more so. Will be updating diary with some microscope pics very soon.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape. More to come.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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 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.

Week 2 of Veg... OK!! So she's not doing well and I'm scratching my head a little if I'm honest... Since I upgraded to the taller tent and the Telos 6 Pro Slimline all of the plants have been doing AMAZING apart from her! 🤦‍♂️ The growth on all the others is MASSIVELY accelerated While she just sits there moaning her bag off & I don't know why!?! 🤬 Now I know that they're not identical in terms of genetics as they are 3 different species of plant (Cannabis, Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes & Sweet Peppers) however they are VERY similar & the other 6 have no signs of burning or stress from excess nutrients or any other environmental issues like temperature or humidity problems. It is Day 16 - 30/05/21 My temperatures and humidity have stayed SOLID for the last 6 hours while the lights were on, they are at 120cm height from my babies as recommended... Temps 24-26c Humidity 70-75% They have all had the exact same weak feeds just 2 small mixes from day 10 onwards, the only difference is I have ran roughly 1L of just pure PH'd water through the Cherry Gar-See-Ya seedling as she looks like she has been burnt to crap!!! The plan now is just to leave her alone and see what happens, Let her dry out a bit and then just a drink of water when she wants it... On a good note she is standing up on her own without support now so I'm hoping she can pull through and this will only knock me back a week or 2 which is fine now I have the extra height to play with 👍 Hopefully I'm doing the right thing by her but some helpful comments right now would be VERY welcomed as I'm still a noob and new to growing 🤓... ...Eager to learn though! 🤔 Potgoblin 🌱✌️
