This week was mostly about getting everything ready for the vegetative phase. I will start to add some nutrients this week. I will first flush out most of the old water that has been running through the system for about 2 weeks now. When the plants get a little bigger I will add some nutrients and try get my EC level up to around 0.7 with the help from the very supportive people over at EHG nutrients. They have offered to sponsor me through this grow with nutrients which will be of great help. They are a local South African company, so for any one from South Africa 🇿🇦 please check them out. I have added an oscillating fan to add to the airflow en strengthen my seedlings whilst they start to grow stronger. Due to my humidity being a bit lower than what I want it to be, I have decided to add an air purifier/humidifier which will hopefully add some humidity to the tent. I am aiming for about 65% RH and will be monitoring this closely. My lights are currently at 40% strength. I am making use of a panel heater to break the winter cold and will be aiming to be at around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). I have added an Mycelium bag which is an alternative way to add extra co2 to your grow. This helps the plant to absorb nutrients better and handle the temperatures a bit better. I will be adding photos as the week continues.

well this littler creeper weed is the smoothest i have ever tasted, this pheno expressed as a hint of citrus and very smooth very white ash. Nice and relaxing couch lock.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Pink Runtz de RoyalQueenSeeds , que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y con unos tonos muy llamativos. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Started with LST and did extreme defoliation. Plants were pretty healthy so they will recover soon.

Familia, estamos de vuelta, y es que esta cepa me enamora, corta floración, poca distancia entre nudos y un tallo grueso, tiene bastante follaje, pronto haremos poda de bajos ya que no terminarán de formar bien abajo. Ph controlado y temperatura dentro de nuestros parámetros. Cambiamos la disposiciones del armario y en el interior hubo algún movimiento. No obstante todo va sobre ruedas familia. Aquí aportaremos pronto el brutal bud un engordador de cogollos .

Wedding Cake, also known as Pink Cookies is a stellar Indica strain created by the result of crossing Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. Offering great yields and high THC levels, the Wedding Cake has achieved great fame and is hence a perfect addition to our all new Cali Line. This is a medium-sized plant which can grow to a height of 110 – 140 cm and it does well both indoors and outdoors. The Wedding Cake has a flowering time of 50 – 55 days and offers indoor yields of 450 gr/m2. Outdoor yields of 550 grams can be achieved although it’s not ready for harvest until mid-October. The Wedding Cake tastes sweet and earthy with notes of vanilla. Achieving the title of Leafly’s strain of 2019, she rightly deserves all the fame. Overwhelmed users have reported THC levels in excess of 25 %! One can expect a deep sense of physical relaxation paired with uplifting euphoria due to her Indica qualities. Be prepared for bursts of creativity and deep belly laughter. All in all, this strain is an absolute joy ride!

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 PROBLEMAS: ayer detecté alrededor y dentro de la cáscara de la semilla ácaros, sólo en esta maceta, espolvoreé tierra de diatomeas, pero reconocí los síntomas, hoy había más bichos comiéndose el brote y ya lo habían desprendido del minúsculo tallo, me ha ocurrido otras veces y no me gusta, es un síntoma claro de semillas viejas o mal almacenadas. He quitado la semilla y el sustrato alrededor, he revisado con lupa el sustrato superior y he puesto otra semilla a germinar, he actualizado la fecha de germinación, ya veremos que pasa. ROYAL PURPLE KUSH, sativa dominante de altura corta y puede que aporte algún color a la temporada. El crecimiento vegetativo es vigoroso y permite una infraestructura abundante, lo que da como resultado múltiples colas "castillo" grandes, fragantes e incrustadas de THC. El distintivo sabor dulce de la madre Black Afghani se ve realzado por los sabores picantes y frutales del padre Bubba Kush Kush, lo que le da a Royal Purple Kush un sabor complejo y de otro mundo que debe experimentarse. El subidón es bien equilibrado, a la vez enérgico y sereno... viva sativa!! ===================================================================== Comienzo la temporada de cultivos de primavera/verano, con la mismas ganas y emoción de siempre, muchas sativas dominantes para aprovechar el fantástico sol de primavera durante toda la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo, cultivaré en modo mixto interior/exterior hasta la floración, procuraré que las plantas tengan la mayor cantidad de horas de luz posible y como voy a tener que mover mucho las macetas del interior al exterior, voy a cultivar en macetas de 10L para no partirme la espalda. También voy a estrenar tres nuevos Bio Fermentados Solubles basados en Microorganismos de Montaña (MM) y Pasto Fermentado para crecimiento vegetativo y otros dos para floración y que están en fermentación anaeróbica desde el 18/06/22, también otros hidrolizados enzimáticos de aminoácidos e hidrolizados potásicos complejos de ácidos húmicos y fúlvicos con minerales, conforme los vaya abriendo hablaré sobre ellos... pero aviso, esta temporada voy a muerte, sin piedad, quiero experimentar hasta donde puedo llegar con alimentación forzada en macetas, no busco amigos, busco cultivos descomunales para llenar mi saco de marihuana... He preparado un sustrato ligero, bien aireado, con perlita, fibra de coco, bocashi de algas, Biochar con MM y humus de lombriz; lo puse en macetas de tela de 0.45L (7x12cm) porque quiero trasplantar cuanto antes a la maceta definitiva. Hice una mezcla de riego para humedecer todo el sustrato: Agua de manantial de montaña con miel natural de brezo (azúcares, enzimas, minerales, vitaminas...), auxinas caseras de frijol negro (hormonas, enraizante) y 1% de mi Bio Mix para crecimiento vegetativo con Microorganismos Eficientes (EM), minerales y nutrientes básicos, con esta mezcla comienzo la inoculación de microbiología al sustrato, la miel es un excelente enraizante y aporta energía a los Microorganismos para que se propaguen... a continuación elegí la semilla más bonita y la enterré en el sustrato y se dejó ver a los 9 días, las bajas temperaturas retrasaron la germinación de todas las semillas de esta temporada, pero todas han germinado! Al principio, encapsulo las macetas para mantener la humedad muy alta en la maceta y favorecer así la germinación, mantengo el encapsulado hasta que la plántula se ha desprendido totalmente de la cáscara de la semilla. Después de 24h he comenzado a exponerla a la luz, durante la noche bajo la luz de la lampara Vipar P1000 al 20% de potencia (20w) y a unos 15cm de las macetas, por el día cerca de una ventana, evitando el sol directo... todo por la causa! 🖐️👨‍🌾😁 Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!! ================================= Info de la cepa ROYAL PURPLE KUSH: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Royal_Purple_Kush/Emerald_Triangle/ "múltiples colas "castillo" grandes, fragantes e incrustadas de THC..." Emeral Triangle Seeds - Genética: Black Afghani x Bubba Kush - Dominancia sativa: 85% Sativa 15% Índica - Tiempo de Floración: 8-9 semanas - Rendimiento: 600-650gr/m2 - THC: Alto ==============

Buds are not as dense as the first purple punch but the mass is more. Will keep this updated up to drying. Edit #1 June 15 : buds have been washed in baking soda/lime juice warm water (32*C) > rtp water (27*C) > cold water (22*C). Buds then will be hung to dry for 24 hours in AC (45% humid). At day 2 (or in another 24 hours) will move the buds into another room for 24 hours again @65-75% humidity. Day 3 (or in another and probably the last 24 hours of drying) will move back into ac and then a stem test on each branch will be conducted to see if they are dry enough. If they are not dry enough after day 3 (2 days ac @ 45% and 1 day rtp @65-75%) then a 4th day of ac drying will occur and then more branch tests. Upon being sufficiently dry, the final trim of the sugar leaves will occur and then jarring with some Boveda 58%. Thanks for reading, more edits to come. Edit : 18/June/‘21 Seeds looking real nice, I have given some away for people to rest and tell me if I did my procedure correct (feminizing seeds with female pollen due to a female plant being stress). If this procedure is correct I’ll be fertilizing my current grow too. 1) Purple Paralysis (Jellyfish Bud) (F) 2) Monster Mass (F) 3) Lavender (bag seed gender unknown) Edit 2 25th June : buds dried at 36-45% humidity for 4 days before jarring.

I'm not applying any type of training to this lady,she has performed a big stretch in her first week of flower,looks absolutely gorgeous,sometime she es tress a little with heat. However the super soil she's living in and the lactobacillus liquid I make homemade is helping her so much,it's a pleasure to see her every morning

Vamos familia, actualizamos la sexta semana de floración de estas Lemon Mandarin de Fastbuds. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas pues estas últimas semanas cogimos un poco de trips y pues ahí ando combatiendo con planchas pegajosas de color azul, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Las flores se están llenando de tricomas y van hinchando, aún con la plaga, por el momento todo correcto, aportamos mega pk y thor de Agrobeta. Hasta aquí todo lo de esta semana , ya quedan pocas semanas iremos viendo como maduran, buenos humos. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

She's doing ok but all the leaves tips are curling including the small est ones and sugar leaves. I'm hoping she survives and does better than the first one. She also has mites I'm in a battle with. I'm going to do a whole tent clean down after she's done.

She slowly getting there, I guess... Her massive buds are getting heavier and I will have to set up support (some sticks maybe) to have her not break her stems.

Smelling powerful

Plants were left for 8 days between watering, the soil was very dry and plant leaves drooping. Watered them with 1 litre each yesterday but have noticed yellowing of leaves on the bottom. Thinking this might be due to under watering I am not sure. Apart from that the flowers themselves are looking fine. Night temps are now 18 deg and 24 daytime and humidity at 50% I have also now put in a small fan at floor level in the space of where the 4th pot was so this now gives lower air movement.

An here we are. At the end of another cycle. The end of another year, and what a year it was. For Sunshine and me personally, it was a tough year, with our families sick on multiple occasions, life-threatening. We are very thankful for many things but most of all that all our parents are healthy again. We wish your families are as fortunate in the coming year. So we end this Gorilla's life with a swift cut of the scissors, after thanking her again for the companionship, the well-needed distraction, and all the love she has given me already. I sometimes read that people won't go near their plants when they are angry or sad. Please do go to your plants when you are sad or angry! They are millions of years old. They have been healers of animals and humans since they were around. Our emotions can not taint something so pure as the spirit of this plant. She will heal us, give her life for us, sacrifice herself for our healing. She is all-powerful and all-knowing, there is nothing we mere humans can do, except disrespect her powers. Bask in her glowing light, enjoy her soothing energy, her creative spark when you are in need of love, just don't smoke her at that time, for she will soothe you bit not give her treasures, she will seduce you. Next to thanking Santa Maria for her healing, we would like to thank our friends here, all who shared their kind words, advice, and attention. I had made a video to share my thanks on video, but every time I got very emotional. You guys have no idea how tough this year was. The gorilla is real easy to clean and sticky and cristally. Its amazingly great to smoke! So a special thanks to: @Sailormoonflowers for being a buddy to talk to, @JamMAKEcan for being there with ideas and always a lot of love, @Roberts for being an inspiration @Cannabeast and @LegendarySeedThumb for always checking out my grows, to all who I forgot who are always here to greet me! @Growdiaries for being an awesome site and community and last but not least: @MarsHydroLED for letting us try their SP-3000. VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX We wish all of you freedom, love, happiness, but also the awareness to see many of us are still being repressed, with growing but also with our human rights. Jah jah gave us life to live, so let us live brothers! It is time the rastaman made a plan! We are 99% loving people on this planet, we need no 1% to fuck it up with wars and strife. We need to stop cooperating, peacefully resist. If you can buy local, ban exploiting multinationals. Help your local businesses, help your neighbors, we need to wake up and stop funding this black stain on our planet. Sell your stock in multinationals, invest in local businesses. Buy local products, speak out when you get taxed higher than millionaires (and you are). The day is coming my brothers and sisters. Soon a handful of CEO's will find out when billions are done with them. For now thanks for everything!

21/07: Weiterhin entwickelt sich die Papaya Punch prächtig. Sie lässt sich super trainieren und kommt mit der letzten Düngerportion super zurecht. Weiterhin warte ich, dass ihre Zeltpartnerin endlich bereit ist in die Blüte geschickt zu werden.

August 1: These clones are now next to the motherplant and august 3 will be the start of flowering when the light goes off. The nutrients are now just calmag, micro and bloom at 500ppm untill they hit week 3 flower August 10th: the clones are now at day 7 flower and they just got trimmed (lower branches and biggest leaf on top of the plants) i dont go too agressive on defoliation with this strain, on the last short video of this week u can see what i cut off at this stage, this was done at day 7 flower

Week 7 Flower — Sundae Driver (Grow Diaries Report) Quick recap for new readers From seed to here, this run has been a careful dance between living soil, precision feeding, and adaptive training: • Seeds germinated with Aptus support, then transplanted directly into 11L fabric pots of enriched soil. • Minimal veg — early switch to flower under 11/13 schedule. • One tall “moon-shot” top supercropped early in flower to control height and redirect hormones → result: knuckle healed beautifully, more bud sites formed. • Feeding has been a Plagron + Aptus combo, alternating between soil-driven nutrition and steering solutions, keeping EC and pH carefully managed. • By Week 6, we saw resin pouring in, trichomes swelling, pistils still pushing white, and strong aroma developing. Now, in Week 7, we are right in the heart of bulking. ⸻ Environmental update • Outside: brutal heatwave (temps up to ~45°C / 110°F). • Grow space: thanks to AC, canopy temps hold around 28°C with the lung room at ~21.8°C. • Humidity: still high, ~62%. Ideally we’d want 45–55% at this stage, but the girls are adapting beautifully — no visible signs of mold or rot, airflow and plant vigor are keeping them safe. • Tools: Trolmaster and Spider Farmer apps logged to share transparent data. ⸻ Feeding & recipe this week You’ve reintroduced the All-in-One liquid into the Plagron + Aptus recipe, pushing EC slightly higher again for an extra boost: • Plagron PowerBuds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation → stacking, sugars, and bloom density. • Aptus Regulator + CalMag Boost → structural strength, stress resilience, mineral balance. • All-in-One liquid → full-spectrum nudge to keep driving flower bulking. This “soil-first, solution-steering” approach works perfectly here. The soil still holds a strong base load (your earlier EC readings confirmed this), and the solution acts like an accelerator without overloading. ⸻ Plant performance & structure • Bulking: Both Sundae Drivers are filling out massively — flowers are swelling, colas thickening, side branches almost unable to hold themselves upright. • Support: You’ve improvised by tying branches to each other, preventing collapse. This is a classic late-flower “good problem”: weight means density. • Supercrop site: completely healed, producing solid flower along the bent top and nearby branches. A textbook example of how to redirect growth without losing yield. • Color: Leaves still lush green, minimal fade — showing balanced feeding and no major deficiencies. ⸻ Trichomes & pistils — where we stand • Trichomes: Frost is stacking heavy — from sugar leaves to outer calyxes, a shimmering coat is spreading. Under magnification, most heads are clear-to-cloudy, with some areas beginning to lean more cloudy. Amber not yet common — perfect for Week 7. • Pistils: Still plenty of white hairs, but we’ll begin to see darkening and curling soon as calyxes mature and resin production peaks. • Meaning: Plants are still actively in the bulking/resin-factory stage. Harvest is not yet — but we’re entering the critical monitoring phase. ⸻ What Week 7 means (technically) This is the late bulking / mid-ripening window. • Calyxes expand → actual bud density increases. • Terpenes develop rapidly → strong smells, unique cultivar expression. • Resin pathways peak activity → cannabinoids build, but need 1–2+ more weeks to fully mature. • Risk window for botrytis → high humidity + dense colas = careful airflow essential. ⸻ What to expect next week Expect: • Noticeable increase in aroma — terpenes often “pop” around Week 8. • Trichomes shifting more to cloudy; a few ambers may begin depending on genetics. • Pistils starting to darken and recede, giving buds a more “finished” look. • Possible leaf fade (yellowing from the bottom up) as mobile nutrients are pulled into flowers. Don’t expect (yet): • Full amber trichome maturity — too early. • True “final swell” — that’s more Weeks 8–9+. • Safe humidity window — continue to monitor closely, as the dense colas can surprise you. ⸻ Practical checklist for Week 7 • Support colas: stake, tie, or net if branches keep falling. Weight will only increase. • Dehumidify if possible: even a small drop to ~55% would reduce risk of bud rot. • Airflow: max canopy circulation; keep oscillating fans moving air through colas, not just over them. • Microscope/loupe checks: continue logging trichomes daily or every other day — aim for a clear photographic timeline. • Smell watch: sudden changes in aroma (musty instead of fruity/sweet) can be early warning of mold. • Continue balanced feeding: don’t pull nutrients too early — Week 7 is still active bulking. ⸻ Reflection — the beauty of Week 7 Both Sundae Drivers are now showing their full potential: heavy colas, strong resin, vibrant health despite high heat and humidity challenges. This week is less about intervention and more about careful support: holding up branches, keeping airflow right, and letting the plants finish their masterpiece. The photos and videos (especially the behind-the-scenes “hands and camera” shots) add a human touch to the diary, it’s not just about the plants, but about the grower’s relationship with them. That connection, plus the technical details, is what makes our journey so special. ⸻ Gratitude & closing Week 7 is a turning point, the moment where patience pays off, where you get to watch the plants finish their story. Thank you to Plagron and Aptus for the tools, and thank you to the community who reads, comments, and shares this journey. We are almost there, but not yet.

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. 🌱✨ For those of you who are afraid of trying out super cropping, this diary is living proof that it works. The bent stem bounced back stronger, healed into a solid knuckle, and rewarded us with extra bud sites and bigger flowers. Don’t fear new techniques. If your plant is stretching too much, or if you want to unlock more yield, super cropping is a safe, effective way to train her. Trust your plants, trust the process, they’re stronger than you think.
