Made up a tea mixture of some locally sourced worm castings with Dr Earth Bud an Bloom booster, an about 2ml of Cal mag. Let that aerate for about 24 hours. Then cut the mix to a 1:1 ratio. I know thats pretty hot but wanted to see what I could start to push. Have a little rusty looking spot on 1 of the plants. Not sure what it is, i'll post some pics an keep you posted. That was week 2 I got fucked up on my photos. These included are weeks 3 an starting 4. Had some weird orange spots on 1 of the 4. Needed up clipping off in defoliation. Did some LST with some old ass plant tape. Hit it with about a 1/4 cup of marine cuisine added to my earthworm casting tea. Fed them on 8-18 watered them about a liter each 8-20. Brewing some more Dr Earth Bud & Bloom, worm castings, an molasses with rain water

When I decided to start growing, I knew it was likely going to be hard, though interesting, work. What I didn’t expect was that it would be this much fun 😄 It’s been a pure pleasure watching their growth slow down while their calyx’s fatten, multiply and get frostier by the day. I lowered their nutrients because their leaf tips were showing signs of burn. Some leaves were also showing potassium deficiency, but I think that’s a result of their pH constantly jumping to 6.4 because they were under feeding most of last week.

Comenzando la quinta semana, sin novedad. Aún queda una semana para que pasen a flora. Esta semana las riego solo con agua, ya que el sustrato tiene los minerales, microorganismos y materia orgánica suficientes.

Hey everyone, I meant to post this update yesterday, but I was really busy. Anyway, here she is! She's doing great, although still a bit darker than I'd like, which might just be her genetics. Overall, I'm really happy with how things are going for my first grow. There are definitely some things I could have done to improve this run. The top buds aren't as fat as I hoped, probably because there are so many tops and bud sites under the canopy that aren't getting enough PPFD. This seems to be causing the plant to direct quite a lot of energy to the lower buds, leaving the top colas not getting 100% of the energy they need. But hey, we learn as we go, and this first run has taught me a lot. I'm aiming for at least 4 ounces, but honestly, she doesn't look like she's producing that much weight at the moment. Fingers crossed these buds juice up and double in size within these last two weeks! Thanks for following along and for all the support! 🌱✨

Had major issues with the mildew lost London Mint Cake, Cookies Kush, Bruce Banner and Cheetos… The last standing planta has no problems with the mildew. Malasana Cookies and Gary Payton are finished and now they are drying. I will give an Update when all is dry and smokeable.

J'ai lancé la floraison le 24 avril !! J'espère que mes plantes vont faire de belles fleurs 🌱🌴

Hello there and welcome to week 12, or the beginning of it anyway. Week 11 is now complete so please check that out! We start the week with 5l fertigation and some nice photos. Now that Bertha is gone the tent smells Karenish. See you tomorrow! Day 78: Added several more carnivorous plants to the budding collection. Enjoy! Day 79: Fertigated 5l. She's starting to mature now. Frost developing slower, buds fattening and ripening faster. Were maybe two weeks away here. Night 80: Added tent photo and vid. Day 81 update later today. Day 81: Added a lot of media. Got a cheap digital microscope to try and get better micro shots. As you can see Karen is nowhere near yet. Day 82: Things are moving very fast, just look at the difference today. I am certain were with 2 weeks of harvest. Does anyone have advice on flushing/not watering. Fertigated 5l. Day 83: At the current rate of maturation I think the end of next week maybe be harvest time. Height 51cm Day 84: Karens smell is really strong now it washes across your face when you open the tent. End of week summary: A full week of nothing but bud swelling and maturation. I still think she needs another 2 weeks. Unfortunately my living situation has rather abruptly changed and now I have a tough choice to make: harvest/destroy or move plants. There is a strong chance I will chop Karen at the end of next week if she is ready or not.

Added nutes on 10/17, 30ML of Fox farm organic big bloom and 4ML of Fish shit to one gallon and fed them all that entire gallon. 10/20 Couple days after the nutes and they exploded!

🌿 Amnesia Skunk Automatic Week 8 From Seed ≈ Week 4 Flower (12/12 From Seed Run) She may be 8 weeks old, but biologically she’s in her fourth week of active flowering — and she’s behaving exactly like a plant that has found her rhythm. After defoliation? She bounced back like nothing happened. No stall. No stress signals. Just structure, stacking, and deep healthy green. That’s not luck. That’s environment + balance. And she’s beautiful. ⸻ Environment — Playing on the Edge (But Controlled) Room Conditions • Canopy Temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s On paper, 28°C + 70% RH sounds high. But numbers without airflow mean nothing. Massive Airflow We’re running: • Strong horizontal movement • Vertical air displacement • Active air exchange • Under-canopy circulation Airflow changes everything. Stagnant 70% RH is dangerous. Moving 70% RH behaves very differently. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf VPD vs Room VPD Room VPD says one thing. Leaf VPD tells the real story. Under strong light, leaf surface temperature runs slightly above ambient. That increases transpiration. Add 1000+ ppm CO₂: • Stomata don’t need to open as wide • Photosynthesis rate increases • Plants tolerate higher humidity • Metabolism stays high That’s why they’re not just surviving. They’re pushing. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy — Scaled to Structure We are not blasting everything equally. • Larger tops: up to 1300 µmol • Smaller plants: ~800 µmol Light intensity is matched to plant size and leaf mass. No ego lighting. Only usable photons. ⸻ 🔦 Under-Canopy Lighting — Why? This isn’t a gimmick. Purpose: • Illuminate lower bud sites • Reduce larf • Stimulate lower-zone photosynthesis • Improve uniformity • Keep lower canopy metabolically active We’re not replacing top light. We’re filling in where dense canopy blocks energy. Active lower buds stay healthier. Healthier lowers improve airflow. Better airflow stabilizes microclimate. Everything connects. ⸻ 🔴 End-of-Day Red (15 Minutes After Lights Off) We run a 15-minute red pulse at lights-off. This is phytochrome management. Plants operate with two main phytochrome states: • Pr (red-absorbing) • Pfr (far-red absorbing) Red light pushes phytochrome into the active Pfr state. In darkness, Pfr slowly converts back to Pr. By giving a short red signal: • We influence phytochrome equilibrium • Support flowering signaling • Encourage structural consistency • Potentially stabilize transition timing It does not extend photoperiod. It manipulates light signaling — not day length. And as always: We experiment. We observe. We document. No magic claims. ⸻ 🌱 Feeding & EC — They’re Hungry • Soil EC: 0.9 • Feed EC: 2.4 This tells us something important. They’re eating aggressively. As long as runoff EC stays stable and does not climb: We maintain strength. High metabolic demand requires high input. If soil EC rises? We adapt immediately. No rigid formulas. Only feedback-based decisions. ⸻ 📸 Visual Observations From the traditional full-plant shots to the macro work: • Tight stacking beginning • Strong pistil development • Leaves praying under high PPFD • No signs of stress after defoliation • Structure clean and symmetrical She is balanced. And balance is power.

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.

Meine Motivation jetzt zu dieser Ernte Bericht zu erstatten ging leider gegen 0. bitte etwas frustriert da 12 Wochen schon eine lange Zeit und auch viel Arbeit sind. Kurz vor dem Ziel dann eine Zwitter zu bekommen ist leider sehr ärgerlich

Week 4 veg in a 4L pot looking nice and bushy another couple of weeks then they getting their ass transplanted in bigger pots. The Topping and LST tranning working pretty well i see 😉It allows the lower heads to raise up and benifit from the light exposure.

On the start of week 4 flower the gals are doing well :) The Blueberry scent is getting stronger. I defoliated lower growth sites and cleaned up the top canopy to let more light and air in. I couldn't get everything I wanted to prune because I cant reach the back of the canopy, so some larf will be expected on my plant in the back of the box. On day 2 its all on cruize control now not much else to do but keep my reservoir on point and wait for the girls to bulk up and mature :). On day 6 I mixed up a new 5 gal reservoir with my bloom nutes. At the end of week 4 flower the girls smell great :). the smell is building every day along with the buds :) I'm really happy and surprised with the production at only week 4. It seems my clone may be optimized to my growing environment and or the increased light levels from being too close to the grow lights have accelerated the flowering process.

So I'm soo excited to start this journey Firstly!! Will be growing my first FastBuds Auto Strain outdoors 😀😮.. I saw the competition..being a mostly outdoor grower here in South Africa..I just had to join! Soo I started my germination method...Taproot sticking out but not yet long enough 🙃.. Will give it another 24hrs to check on them..or shall I say in another hour 🤔 😂.. .... 6 hours later taproot sprouted successfully .. She went straight into her Jiffy Pellet.. Now gonna wait for her to show her leafs...

One Foster said goodbye around day 35. Some nutrients missed her but idk why only on one plant. The others look good so far :)

Gave my girls a trim got all those half eaten leaves with spidermites then made a mixture of soap eucalyptus , and teatree essential oils and gave them a bath in it. (Sprayed em down with a spray bottle) seems to have worled so far gonna make a few more times and spray my ladies down a few more times so as to kill the bugs when the eggs hatch.the are starting to look better and hopefully they thrive. Week one flowering!!!!!

Flush time.

Everything is still going well overall. I’ve always had an issue with a Cal/Mag deficiency that I had to monitor for some of the plants. Otherwise, they’re swelling nicely — the Green Poison is starting to look really good and is showing signs of maturity, earlier than the others. I’m starting the flush on all the plants since I’ve fed them well during the grow, and I think they still have enough nutrients left in their systems. The smell is very strong, and the buds are dense and resinous — it’s looking promising.. I’m going to start applying my stress technique on the plants by inserting screws into the stems and using a small scalpel to remove some bark along the trunks, in order to push the resin production even further.

Week 8 in the books, cruising to the finish line two more hard watering each and 48 hrs of darkness starting Friday. Genetics: Natty Roots Seed Co Instagram: @green_house_lab
