Whelp figured out my PH meter was not reading correctly which means I was not balancing the PH of my water correctly....that being said I had been using RO water that *read* it was testing around 7.0, so I was using PH down to 6.5 5/27 - Decided to top the plant. Again with this being my first grow, this was slightly nerve-racking 5/28 - Seems I didn't mess up the top chop, woooh! I tested the PH of my soil today(5.6), if that even tells me anything(I find 2 articles that say it doesn't and another 2 that say the opposite...so that's magical) and ended up just buying a few gallons of distilled water from the store since I didn't want to be running my RO system for my plant and the others in my house.(made sense in my head at the time) Fed a dose of nutrients in the feeding tonight. I believe I was underwatering my plant. 5/29 Forgot to take a picture because I thought I might have overfed the nutes, on the night before.., So I spent the night researching info and trying to figure out if that was the case and how to correct it. But again since I am new to this, I have no clue lol. It also seems I had bumped up the light power from 50% to 100% some how the night before. Ended up dropping it down to 70% power. 5/30 I took the photo, then tied down the main stem. worries of overfeeding have subsided for now... 6/1 Looking extra bushy today. Holding off on defoliation, unless someone tells me otherwise. I am trying to hold off for a few days on doing anything more that could stress out my plant.

Everything goes on properly except for the high temperature and the proximity of the flowers to the lamp. I really hope the flowers will withstand the pressure because I have no way to lower the temperature anymore or keep the lamp away from the flowers.

OK so this weeks kicking off big time lots of flowering everything’s really taking off plants are really loving the nutrients super happy with this grow so far I switched bulbs at the beginning of this week to my HPS super excited about the next few weeks I’ll update soon thanks for stopping by!! Quick update its dat 31 32-ish these things are really getting big the LST worked great some of them are kind of thin in the middle but got lots of tops nice bushes the OG Kush just looks killer has a kind of open spread out look I love it it’s going to produce some big buds I can tell! It’s the end of the week I Defoliated again and tied a few more branches down one of the jacks still has a pretty low center but it’s starting to catch up all the plants seem to really be loving the feeling and are starting to really stack up the buds The next few weeks should be fun!

Dutch Passions Shaman Sieben Tage ohne gießen: Shamanin No. 2 sah ziemlich welk aus. Mega Trockenstress aber zwei Stunden nach einem ausgiebigen Tauchbad sieht sie aus, als wäre nichts gewesen. Shamanin No. 1 im 30 Liter Topf hat es Problemlos überstanden. Auf einem der Fotos hat sich eine kleine Spinne perfekt getarnt, die Beine sehen aus wie Stigmen. Shamanin No. 2 braucht auch mehr Wurzelraum, oder eine Tropfbewässerung.

Day 19 since flip, not much to report. Top dress today of 4-8-4 rose and flower mix from down to earth with a little worm castings. Almost done with stretch. Back two are Gary Poppins (Gary Payton x Red Runtz). One on the left is stretching to the moon, definitely a Gary leaner, and the one on the right turned out to be the smallest plant of the five, definitely a Runtz leaner. Plain ph’d tap water and that’s it 🌡️: 77-80 F 💡: 65% @ 20 inches 💦:60%

🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 Hi and welcome to another Kannabia grow! This time I’m running their Apple Fritter (feminized photoperiod). She’s going to veg under 24hr light and be manifolded. Still cleaning the rest of my Candy Cream GF (11.04.25) — going to sow the seed tomorrow (12.04.25) *been lazy, sowed on 14.04.25 🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 --- 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 ❗Events & thoughts worth noting❗ 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 12.04.25 (GW1) – Cleaning + flushing the old coco coir. Might need to add another brick. *No new brick needed ✅ This is how I recycle my coco coir — fast, cheap, no BS. 🌿 Harvest plant ✂️ Chop roots small — they stay in for structure (organic perlite) 💦 Hot water rinse — remove salts & dust 🍶 Pre-soak with light feed:   Micro 10ml   Bloom 0ml   GreenBuzz 10ml   Cal-Mag 60ml   FFJ/FPJ 10ml (new disgusting batch)   pH down (citric acid) ♻️ Media stays — Roots stay — Back in service. 14.04.25 (GW1) – Planted seed in final pot ✅ 16.04.25 (GW1) – Did last tent clean up + setup ✅📸 17.04.25 (GW1) – Seed germinated 🎉📸 — roughly 48hrs in final pot. Solid start👌♥️ 23.04.25 (VW1) – Minimal burnt tips 📸 — not progressing, not a concern. 26.04.25 (VW1) – Started using the new batch of FPJ/FFJ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/266849-grow-journal-by-yan402 30.04.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro & GreenBuzzBloom 10ml → 15ml 03.05.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro again 15ml → 20ml, topped the plant, and added final layer of clay pebbles around the base, trimmed side branches and did LST in preparation for "manifold" 📸 08.05.25 VW3 finished manifold📸 13.05.25 VW4 Increased TriPartMicro to 30ml and GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml. 15.05.25 VW4 Done defoliation and LST 📸 18-19.05.25 VW5 pruned all the shoots bellow my "mains" and did a full defoliation📸 24.05.25 VW6 increased GreenBuzzBloom to 30ml 04.06.25 VW7 did a cleanup📸 11.06.25 VW8 increase TriPartMicro to 40ml 17.06.25 (VW9) – Final structure pass 💈🌿 Did a clean perimeter prune + removed weak shoots. Ended up with 12 tops, was aiming for less, but she made the call Didn’t fight it, just shaped it the best I could Airflow’s good, structure’s stable 🛑 No more cuts until post-stretch Pics coming shortly 😘 Flip coming soon — we’ll see how she handles it. 20.06.25 VW9 Switched lighting to 12 hours, may the stretch begin 🤞 22.06.25 VW10 Did a good LST session,made some pics, and came to some conclusions and a small change of plans: Originally planned for 8 mains — long, spaced colas and maybe a couple stronger “titans” if she wanted to go that way. But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her — just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf — just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30→ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50→ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 → 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 →40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 → 60ml, fpj 30→60ml 19.07.25 FW3 Got some bleached tops, been out and about at job interviews and didn't notice a last minute stretch spurt 😭, should recover fine though plenty of time left 😁 22.07.25 FW3 TriPartMicro 30→20ml , TriPartBloom 60→80ml , GreenBuzzBloom 40→50ml 24.07.25 FW3 Cal-Mag 60→40ml 26.07.25 got thrips but handled them with extra airflow and defoliation. 29.07.25 FW4 GreenBuzzBloom 50→20ml, Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 60→120ml 31.07.25 FW4 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 120→200ml 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 02.08.25 FW4 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 03.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 04.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 05.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 06.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 07.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 08.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 at 75%→ 2l runoff 09.08.25 FW5 – Fed 5l of #1 at 50%→ 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30L #1 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 TriPart Micro: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50 → 30 → 20ml = 0.67ml/L 🍶 TriPart Grow: 0ml = 0.00ml/L 💧 TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20 → 60 → 80ml = 2.67ml/L 🍶 GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 60 → 40 → 50 → 20ml = 0.67ml/L 💧 Cal-Mag: 60 → 40ml = 1.33ml/L 🍶 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch): 10 → 30 → 60 → 120 → 200ml = 6.67ml/L 💧 pH Down: Citric acid (BuxXtrade) — adjust to ~pH 6.0 📦 TOTAL: 360ml per 30L 🔬 12.00ml/L 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ 2× MarsHydro SP3000 ⚙️ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator ✂️ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) ⚙️ Mini no-name dehumidifier ✂️ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) ⚙️ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) ✂️ Scissors (HST) ⚙️ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) ✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ --- 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple × Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/m² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds

_______________________________________________________________________ Nun, mit 20-30g pro Pflanze habe ich mich dann ja wohl doch etwas verschätzt. Es sind ziemlich genau 62g pro Pflanze an Trocken-Ertrag bei rum gekommen. Leider habe ich vergessen nach der Ernte das Nassgesicht zu prüfen. Insgesamt ist unser aller erster grow für mein Verständnis gut bis sehr gut gelaufen. Mit 124G trocken Ernte kann sich das auf jeden Fall sehen lasen. Bin super happy. Dazu kommt noch der Grow von meinem Bruder. Hier kam insgesamt etwas weniger aber dennoch gute 110G bei rum. Damit hätten wir ein gut, bis sehr gutes Gramm pro Watt Verhältnis von von 1,17 g/W. Mit 4 Pflanzen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden hab. Und wenn ich nur meine 2 Pflanzen auf einem halben m² mit der halben Leistung der Lampe von 100w rechnen würde. Hätte ich ein noch besseres Verhältnis von sehr guten 1,24 g/W. Dazu haben wir von beiden Sorten noch ordentlich Verschnitt mit überaus Trichomreichen Suggerleafs. Der Grow lief für uns eigentlich sehr sehr chillig. Nur das Wetter war unser Feind. Wir hatten bis jetzt einen eher ungünstigen, wechselhaften Sommer. Teilweise bis zu 33° und 85% Luftfeuchtigkeit während der Trocknung. Dann wiederum auch Tage oder nächte wo es wieder auf 22° runterfällt. In den GroveBags zeigen die Hygrometer nach 2 Tagen immer noch nur etwa 53% an. Das heißt wir konnten die Bedingungen nie optimal halten und es ist etwas zu trocken. Gott sei Dank hatten wir aber weder Probleme mit Schimmel oder Schädlingen. Man kann beide Sorten jetzt schon prima im Joint oder in der Bong rauchen. Es ist weder kratzig noch schmeckt es irgendwie komisch. Im Gegenteil. Mal schauen wie es nach dem Curen aussieht. Zur Honey Peach Auto CBD von meinem Bruder: Mein Bruder hat keinerlei Training betrieben. Nur sehr viel entlaubt. Die beiden Pflanzen haben sich sehr unterschieden. Aber beide haben sehr fluffige Buds produziert. Die Wirkung ist eher milder und lässt einen Produktiv und Kreativ werden ohne super high zus ein. Jetzt nach dem Trocknen reicht es eher Erdig mit ein Paar fruchtigen Noten. Zu meinen +Speed Auto: Ich habe nur LST angewendet. Und dazu mehrmals entlaubt. Abgesehen davon das eine der beiden etwas größer wurde haben sich beide ziemlich gleich entwickelt. Die Buds bei beiden Pflanzen sind sehr homogen und gleichbleibend gut, egal ob Headbud oder nicht. Die Wirkung ist sehr ausgeglichen und stark genug um stunden high zu bleiben ohne abzuheben. Der Geruch ist zimlich intensiv,sehr zitronig mit einem erdigen abgang. ----Nachtrag nach dem Curen---- Nach dem der Ertrag 2 Wochen in den GroveBags Curen konnten sin dsie wie erwartet etwas "Steiniger". Riechen tuts wie am Tag der Ernte und erfüllt den ganzen Raum. Auch eher klassisch im Geruch. Das High ist stark und ist sehr ausgeglichen zu Körper und Geist. Ohne dabei abzuheben oder down zu gehen. Meine Headbuds sind zwar nicht die größten, aber im Vergleich gibt es sicher viele die weniger Glück hatten. Wer eine kleinwüchsige, ertragreiche, robuste und relativ schnellwachsende Genetik sucht, ist hier richtig. _________________________________________________________________________

This is an easy strain to grow. I didn't have to use any LST. I am just waiting on some amber trichomes and I will chop.

Finally moved her to the new set up which is a 7 gallon square bucket with compartment lid which make verifying pH or topping up reservoir much easier. From here on she should explode with proper nutrients and care. GHL

Fish Sh!T 1tsp / Cal-Mag 1tsp per gal @ 6.1 ph for 0.5 gal She looks like she likes it :) 10/16 Krisabel seems to just love the watering! Growing right before my eyes! over night she went from a bit over 2 to pushing 4 inches! Can't wait to see how she shows.

Orion F1 Organic dry amendments. She has grown well for the first time, after I topped her, she has taken to it very well. I topped the plant on the 14th. 😊 The leaves are looking a luscious, vibrant green. Overall, I'm very pleased with this recent progress. 14.6.25: I top dressed the plant today with the following amendments; ☆ 1 Tbs Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ 1 Tbs Ecothrive Charge ☆ 1 Tbs Ground Cinnamon ☆ 1 Tbs Diatomaceous Earth ☆ 1.5 Cups Worm Castings. This will hopefully tide me over until the end of the month, when I will top dress again. I have just been watering with plain, dechlorinated water, PH'd to between 6.1-6.5. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. I'm watering approximately 2ltrs twice a week or as necessary. She has started to drink more. Thank you for checking out my diary and hanging out 😊💚✌️🍃🤞

Start of week 6 flower. She’s pretty much on cruise control. Did a light defoliation, probably the last one until harvest. Noticed my ph pen has slightly been off and I’ve been slightly alkaline in my solution. Recalibrated and hit er with a heavy feeding and her normal but also added some cronk nutrients this week just to see if she responds. Overall, she’s starting to get funky, sugar leaves are sticky and really smelling of fruit loops. See ya next week

I think there’s been some sort of salt build up / nutrient lock. The lower leaves have been turning a lighter green and some even yellow on SL plants. Most stems are red. Seems like it’s a pH problem. I flushed them with 4-5 litres of water to reduce the nutrient concentration in the roots. Going to introduce molasses in next feeding! Organic Unsulphered And also stop the Micro (nitrogen)
