Week 1 Flower Report: Anesia Pheno Hunt! Hello, wonderful Grow Diaries community! Welcome back to another exciting week of our Anesia pheno hunt. We've officially entered the flowering stage, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share the progress and updates with you all. Week 1 Flower Highlights: Transition to Flowering: Our Anesia ladies are making the exciting transition from veg to flower. The stretch is on, and they're reaching for the stars! This week, the plants have shown remarkable growth, with sturdy branches and lush foliage. Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the resilient Red Banana Pudding are all thriving beautifully. Nutrient Update: To support this critical phase, I’ve adjusted their nutrient regimen. Using the fantastic Aptus Holland range, I’ve started them on the flower mix, including Regulator, CaMg-Boost, TopBooster, and P-Boost. The All-in-One Pellets in the soil provide a solid nutrient base, so no need for the All-in-One Liquid. This powerful combo ensures they get all the essential nutrients for robust flowering. Environment Control: Maintaining optimal conditions is key. With the help of my Blue Lab Guardian monitor, I’ve kept the TDS at 420 and pH at 5.8, ensuring perfect balance for nutrient uptake. The Future of Grow LED lights continue to provide the ideal spectrum for vigorous growth and bloom. Topping and Training: Earlier, we topped the plants, and the results are showing! The plants have developed multiple strong colas, promising an abundant harvest. The water droplets after topping always bring a smile, signifying the plants’ health and vitality. Invitation: If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my YouTube series, "Welcome to the Green Oasis." In this series, I take you behind the scenes of our grow operations, sharing tips, updates, and in-depth looks at our garden. Each episode is filled with insights and a whole lot of green goodness.

🌸 BlueBerry – Week 6 Flower Report Grower’s Journal | Zamnesia BlueBerry ⸻ 🌱 The Girls This Week Both BlueBerry ladies are now true queens, stretching big, stacking huge colas, and getting so heavy that yo-yos are holding them up. Without support, branches would fall under their own weight, which is a good sign of strong flower density but also a reminder of the importance of plant training. The frost continues to thicken, and the trichomes look spectacular up close, sparkling in photos and videos like tiny glass forests. ⸻ ⚠️ Trouble in Paradise – Bud Rot But with big flowers also come risks. This week, Bud Rot (Botrytis cinerea) showed up on BlueBerry #2. • Conditions: High humidity (65%+, sometimes higher) combined with dense flowers created the perfect environment for rot. • Detection: Early spotting saved the plant. We caught it in time before it spread too far, but it still left its mark. • Action Taken: • Carefully removed every infected area. • Isolated affected material to prevent spores spreading. • Improved airflow around the canopy by moving plants and adjusting fans. 👉 For anyone learning, here’s a great educational read by Zamnesia: Bud Rot Grower’s Guide. https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide ⸻ 🌿 Bud Rot – What It Is & How to Prevent It Bud Rot is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. It thrives in humid, poorly ventilated conditions, especially inside large dense colas where moisture can hide. How to prevent: • Keep humidity lower during flower (ideally 40–50%). • Maintain constant airflow across and through the canopy. • Defoliate strategically to open airflow inside dense plants. • Avoid watering late in the cycle to reduce night-time moisture. What to do if it appears: • Act quickly. Remove all affected buds immediately. • Sterilize scissors/tools between cuts to avoid spreading spores. • Keep monitoring daily — once it appears, it can spread fast. Bud Rot is every grower’s nightmare, but also one of the most important lessons in environmental balance. ⸻ 💡 Lessons Learned (and Moving Forward) This 8x8 setup is teaching us a lot. For the next run, I’ll be redesigning the airflow system entirely to prevent these issues. For now, the plants are still thriving, and catching the rot early means we can continue with this grow. Big flowers are a blessing, but they require serious air control. We’re already working on solutions, including an AC and new placement strategies, which I’ll cover in more detail on YouTube. ⸻ 📸 The Beauty Side Even with this challenge, the girls are stunning: • Massive colas held up by yo-yos. • Sparkling trichome close-ups showing the magic of Week 6. • Heavy branches bending under the weight of their own production. The resilience of BlueBerry genetics shows through, they continue to push strong, healthy growth despite the setback. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 7 What to expect: • Further bulking and resin production. • Stronger terpene expression, the BlueBerry scent growing richer. • More vigilance against humidity and bud rot, especially as flowers keep swelling. What not to expect: • Major structural changes. From here, it’s all about ripening and finishing strong. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 6 has been both a celebration and a reminder: heavy, beautiful flowers need perfect conditions to stay healthy. Bud rot may have appeared, but it was caught, managed, and turned into a learning moment for this run and for future ones. The BlueBerry ladies are still shining, still heavy, still legends in the making.

09.06 After some research I think the lightly burn on the leaf tips came from to much light and not from nutrient burn. Anyway, I like how they developed the last week so I guess it wasn't super bad to reduce my scheme. I am now 4 weeks before harvest, I plan to flush the last week, so there is 3 weeks left of nutrients. For this week I will give them some boost with canna pk 13/14 and will remove hesi phospor for the scheme for this week. Tank was cleaned as always and new water with nutrients is prepared for the next week of bloom.

Hello beautiful people! Another week of veg. All is going well so far. Been training the girls lightly. I added cal mag & silica supplement. I will continue doing this for the rest of the grow. My water is soft (low ec) so adding some call mag cant hurt. I've also read good things about adding silica so lets see if its a good addition to my nute schedual. I will probably put the net on them tomorrow. Will prob add anohter video on wednesday. Thats it! Love & Peace 4 all!

With this being my fourth grow...I’ve realized the best way to germinate cannabis seeds is by sprinkling it in the Grow medium and just watering daily...let seed sink as opposed to letting it soak in water which worked for me before but it takes away the dangers of transferring the seeds from a glass of water to soil. 1 year ago this January I germinated my first grow and I had a good harvest because of the dry season stepping in the Caribbean...I am definitely looking forward to a fine grow with some males and females so I can expand my seed storage.

So its been about the same, Some new growth coming in and flowers are getting thicker, just waiting till that stops and then harvest time. Trichomes still mainly milky vs clear or amber so good indicator its not ready yet. I do feel one of the plants will be ready before the others though. It took the hardest hit with the first peroxide watering and i think i shocked it. it does not want to grow so much like the others. The best plant out of them all is the one I just left alone with no LST, wondering if its because the others I ran out of room to keep LST'ing them properly. o well, nothing much will change i feel till harvest. so hopefully that's in a few weeks. Then get in a nice 3 week cure and test it out with my friends.

Continuiamo solo con overdrive per un altra settimana continuando a controllare sempre i tricomi, aspettando che diventino lattiginosi per cambiare soluzione e far girare l'impianto gli ultimi 7 - 10 gg con solo acqua osmotica a ph 6 per il flush prima di raccolt

- Humidity was low beginning of the week and the temperature was quite high. But, I still managed to hit the ideal values. Towards the end of the week, the average humidity in my city was at the high 70s which reflected into the tent. - VPD fluctuated this week between 1,0 and 1.65 kPa, averaging at 1,42 kPa. - Tent temperature fluctuated around 24 at night and 28 Celsius at day time, averaging at 25.5. - Humidity did not fluctuate as it used to beginning of the week but it spiked crazy towards the end, averaging at 56.4 which is much better than the last week. - I am now giving standard 6.4 Ph Water. - Frosting slowed down but the flowers are getting bigger. - Stickiness and smell keep getting stronger.

02.02.2025 Going full power with the nutes by following the exact schema from Hesi. 👉I've resolved my PH-drift issue, was kinda obvious but due to lack of experience didn't think it's my ph-down solution. Basically I was correcting my mineral soup with organic PH- (citric acid), and it only worked for few hours, that is not good when using Autopot. Got the bottle of phosphoric acid and it's rock solid now, what a relief! 😇 25th day. Nothing to say much, will only update when smth happens. 26th day. Noticed a pre-flower condition on the main stem. 27th day. Continue with more LST and light defoliation 28th-29th-30th days. LST, some more leaves went down. 31st day. Leaving for a holiday for 3 days.

-Sensi Seeds Research: The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #16, week #8 of Flowering : The #741 are done ! They’re good to harvest. #1318 is just right behind for the Indica’s phenotypes and are ready to harvest. The Sativa phenotype might need another 10 days to go. Shiva Skunk is definitely ready too The Northern Lights needs another 10 days Super Skunk will be ready at the end of next week Black Domina needs a few more days #11 is a 9 weeks Flowering period ( smells like Sensi Seeds got his own Bad Azz strain now 😊 ) Next week will probably be the last week for this crop. And this week was the last feeding week for the late ones. I had to back up the Mars-Hydro SP 250 a lil bit further, the plants right under the light were showing some reversed leaves. I’m really happy with this crop, I would strongly recommend those new genetics as much as the old school ones. ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞 )

Whats up everybody cheers to another week of growth for everyone! This week the ladies buds started showing signs of progress. You can see them produce more and more resin every day thanks to the cold weather its really easy to keep a pretty dry environment. Can’t wait to do my final defo next week! Until then stay green!

I still have problems with high levels of humidity, usually around 65% during the night and 55% during the day, I ended up removing more leaves to try to reduce the amount of humidity in the air. I can see that the buds grew since last week, I was expecting the buds to be a bit bigger this week, but I'm happy with the current size, but I'm happy with the amount of trichomes present. DAY 96 PH - 5.93 Solution Temp - 19 PPM-2000 Watering Volume per plant - 4L DAY 103 - Water PH - 6 Solution Temp - 18 PPM-690 Watering Volume per plant - 4L

I proudly announce: 🙌" Day 1 " 🙌 Sie haben ihren Tag 1 am 22.12.2024 um 04.20 Uhr gestartet. Das kann doch nur geil werden !!! Die Systeme sind mittlerweile gut eingestellt und auch das etwas laute Gluggern habe ich in den Griff bekommen. Jetzt sind die Systeme vom Geräuschpegel nahezu gleichwertig. Die Nährlösung ist dieses mal von Anfang an stabil, da ich die Eimer, den Blähton und die Steinwollwürfel alle vorher in vollwertiger Nährlösung eingeweicht hatte. Ich habe sie dann über 2 Tage noch nachregeln müssen und ab dann war der PH-Wert soweit stabil und ich konnte die vorgekeimten Seeds in die Würfel werfen. Mit dieser Methode fühle ich mich dieses mal irgendwie etwas "sicherer", aber mal schauen, ob sie dieses mal anfangs trotzdem wieder etwas durchgemangelt aussehen. War ja leider bisher immer der Fall. Links die Black Orchid, in der Mitte die Junge Lava und rechts dann noch die Black Dog, so ist der Lageplan. Viel Spaß beim lesen und Bilder schauen. Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch euch allen 👋

Day 127. Oh boy it will be my longest grown plant indoors. This bean is from bagweed, just wanted to show, that from shitty weed found seed you can produce good result, but i screw up with this girl by having no space for her, by giving her to wrong guy ... And now again, i checked temps during my holidays and lowest was 13 , highiest 33 ... Very bad, she is from leafy pheno and that didnt helped for buds and leafy i dont like already, hate triming .... ;) Will do last hard training apart from everyday lst here and there , she will loose a bit of leaves tomorrow before watering just phed water. I never feed after training. Tomorrow she will go to new tent and i start new diary, hands full ;) Happy growing ! Day 128. Girl got small defoliation , up to 50 leaves, now more buds get light, have to prepare her for smaller , where i will fit only one light, otherwise its too hot inside .... All movement postponed for a bit, have to leave town so only phed water for her after new look. She drinks now like 5 liters every 3 days. Day 131 . She is stinky sticky b**ch ;)) Amazing plant, my mini bonza, would want to flaten her up, but in new tent fan has to have space aswel ;) Her new fan is delayed an i quess it will take a week to be redelivered ... Fingers crossed. Heavy feed - done. ;) Day 132. She starts to pack up a bit, maybe it will be something desent again. Girl is under two lights ( quantum boards 2x240) and in a week will stay just under 240 , but in new tight house with better reflection from walls, hope it will even pars , despite power loss .... I think i will smoke first joint on day 160, its almost half of the year, crazy adventure ... Her leaves are too green, so no silica and red leaves stemps doesnt show up, so no cal mag . Think she'll have like 2-3 feeds max in two weeks and then final strech ;)
