Hello Growmies, We’re now in week 9 with our Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel, and the progress is truly exciting. The plants are deep into the flowering phase, and their development is a sight to behold. Standing at an impressive height of 100 cm, these plants have fully stretched to their maximum potential. Based on the attached pictures, the plants are showing exceptional vigor. The dense foliage and multiple budding sites are clear indicators of their health and vitality. The main colas are thickening nicely, and the secondary branches are also forming substantial buds. The trichome production is visible, giving the buds a frosty appearance that promises high potency. Plants #1 and #3 continue to dominate in size and appearance, standing tall and impressive. The adjustment of the GCx 9 light spectrum to 100% flower and 35% grow spectrum has been highly effective. This setup is maintaining optimal conditions, with the lamp at its maximum height and the plants maintaining a safe distance of 10 cm to avoid heat stress. The foliage remains lush and vibrant, a clear indicator of the plants' health. The support grid is crucial at this stage, managing the shape and supporting the branches as they bear the increasing weight of the developing flowers. The root balls, as shown in the pictures, are robust and healthy, confirming that the air supply is perfect and not excessive, providing strong support for the heavy buds to come. As the buds continue to mature, the anticipation for the final harvest is building. Each plant’s unique characteristics are becoming more pronounced, promising a rich and rewarding yield. I’m thrilled with the progress and eager to see how they continue to develop in the next week. Stay lifted, Salokin

Week 12 pushed the Bruce Banner plants even closer to harvest 🌸❄️ The buds gained more density and weight, and all plants looked very mature at this point. Trichome development showed that #2 and #3 were clearly entering their harvest window. Most trichomes were milky, with some amber already visible, especially on the main colas. Because of this, I decided to give them a little more time to fully ripen. #1 was still slightly behind in maturity and will remain in the tent longer, while #2 and #3 are planned for harvest soon. Due to the heavy buds, the plants needed continued support to stay upright. Despite the weight, all flowers stayed compact and healthy with no signs of rot or stress. Watering this week was kept simple with RO water + CalMag only, no additional feeding. Environment: Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very controlled and smooth late-flower week. The plants are clearly finishing strong, and harvest is right around the corner ✂️❄️

Matilda has stopped making new fan leaves and started stacking on colas now. She has definitely stepped up her loudness as well. I could just sit in the tent and enjoy her complex; fruity, funky cheese, darkness all day long. I still have 4-5 weeks until I even think about harvesting.

Hi everybody this week went okay I noticed she looks a bit hungry so I've risen the PPM to 800 . Ph at6.8 . I had done a second lot of defoliation to enable light to the bud sites. She smells amazing has a very complex terpene profile when I smell her she smells like cookie dough on my fingers then after a few seconds it starts to smell like lemon sherbert then after that I can smell pink grapefruit . It's amazing it's another reason why I germinated another gorilla cookies but in coco. Well that's it for this week thank you for looking at my diary will be update every week. And always keep in mind it's 420 somewhere 👑🌱

And this is how we successfully open week 9 - After fermenting a dose of PK compost tea at the end of last week, I poured it extensively. As always, he did them very well. They also need significantly more water again. I have now also increased the humidity a bit, because there is currently drier indoor air in the room of the cultivation area. Let's see how long I leave my Sweet Seeds ladies. I'll decide that at short notice. Sour Jealousy will then be able to enjoy all the space to bloom at her disposal. Both Sweet Seeds now only get purified and aerated water and only enriched with enzymes. It is now time to signal to both to use up their reserves. After all, their genetically pre-programmed life cycle is significantly shorter than that of sativa-dominant strains - for example, Sour Jealousy from Fast Buds. She is only now really starting to flower, while the indica dominant strains are moving towards the glorious end. I have also already been able to positively determine how practical and thought through to the end 2 Sanlight panels really make sense. I am not primarily concerned with more power through the lighting, but also and above all, I am concerned with the homogeneous illumination at 11 degrees inclined positioning of the solar panels. And to have the opportunity to meet the different growing conditions individually by adjusting the heights of both panels. Of course, I will be able to strive for much higher performance in the large Homebox Ambient with CO 2 and both lamps, but area coverage is the be-all and end-all for me. Lamps currently operate at 60% each. That's definitely enough. Because 2 x EVO 4 - 80 means to me: Precision in the form of light - a tool that you learn to use. Everything before didn't convince and satisfy me nearly as impressively as Sanlight. Also the advantage of being able to operate your lighting system from the outside, via Bluetooth, yes that is really very important, practical and innovative. It makes things so much easier... Sweet Seeds - brand new: „Jealousy Z XL“ I can’t wait to give it a try next run… Super noble presentation, in my opinion. There are many reasons for an emotional attachment to a product. But one stands out in particular: the desire to design, personalize, individualize something or - in other words - the desire to own something unique and feel special as a result. Scientists have found that our buying behavior is shaped by emotions. A person does not buy a product, but an emotional feeling. Many thanks to Sweet Seeds! 🙏 I also feel the feeling that Dark Devil gives me - as a noble high. I associate the turn with a noble, very effective and multifaceted indica dominant weed from Sweet Seeds. Creative work only works in the 1st part of the turn - haha, because then the coma phase begins with subsequent binge eating! But even during sports I was in the vaporizer with Dark Devil and it supported me mightily during training. Maybe it depends on the activity at the time of consumption, haha I find it very fruity in taste and smell. Very sweet terpene spectrum. And not very top-heavy. A wonderful body high. Worries and fears - as if blown away… Some here on growdiaries describe meticulously exactly how they give what, when and how much of it to the plant, etc. I prefer to keep a diary for my passion in a different way. With passion and feeling. I feel my plants. And talk to them. They also listen to chilled music. The Kobe beef in Japan is even massaged to classical music. ;-)) I think such information is only useful for a run to those who do it exactly the same way, under the same conditions with almost the same phenotype. That is almost impossible. And not necessary either. I have to learn to read plants. Their signs are pointing. Become sensitive to it. If I know why and how something happens, then I also know how to keep something like this alive. And what it takes. And why. So let's see what we have to do today. In any case, Lady Jealousy is being driven to the hairdresser today. Yes, we're doing beauty and wellness spa today, haha. She's so busy with branching, I'll give her a helping hand. She has developed incredibly. And has an unusually long breath. Comparative: She looks like a farm animal to me. In other words, what it was bred for. Very strong and healthy adult. Then bloom efficiently and productively. And that's the fascinating thing for me. The breeder creates all parameters here to perfection. Even though I don't particularly like the marketing of Fast Buds anymore, I have to admit without envy: "I've never experienced that before." The phenotypes are absolute warriors, from another planet. Marketing is debatable. No problem. But I can only marvel at these plants and their quality. Unfortunately, too much turnover often spoils the core vision of a successful company. …PK is on the way! Addendum about the one, Lady Dark Devil 😈, which had to be harvested too early: And yet: Dark Devil gives me a deep inner satisfaction in my existence. Nothing upsets me. Nothing can disturb me, because I am one, with myself and my environment. I can only feel gratitude for that. It gives me this broad, generous sense of inner peace. For me, inner peace means balance, equanimity, even-mindedness, harmony, and stability. And that's exactly what a noble special effect means to me. When a weed variety can develop medicinal qualities. When THC simply has a more complex effect on my organism, than just the usual power high. And if, a plant that hasn't even had the opportunity to reach its full potential, can do that, it has passed all the requirements of a cannabis variation, with flying colors. And on top of that, she seems incredibly graceful and elegantly feminine to me. It's just something very special: She's a Sweet Seed! Oh I see, I'm writing a real diary here... 😜 But I love that. I love grow diaries. Look at the brave girl. She forgives me for topping, training, defoliating and in the end: that I have to kill her. But I know then for sure, that she knows, that I really loved her. And the fascinating homogeneity. Totally instructive. It behaves like a photoperiod phenotype, unbelievable but true! on 14.09.2024 I moved her to the grow room with the others. So it's almost 9 weeks. I'm curious to see if she holds out. But I think so. It seems incredibly energetic and relatively relaxed to me. I'm mentally very busy with her right now. Every morning I comb through her leaf picture. Make impressions of the smallest changes. I currently have Pk boosters or tea with her every third day, alternating. And in between only purified water with enzymes. Dark Devil and Big Devil I let slowly starve and then die of thirst. They consumed the last booster 4 days ago. She (Sour Jealousy) currently swallows 2.5 liters per day. That's really a lot. And in the morning she wants to have something again. I think the lamps tickle out their full potential. I meticulously defoliated her and now she stands happily and despite all the exertions, like a star in the sky. My star. 🌟 Sour Jealousy is really crazy, I can say that. And the coolest highlight will be: Lady Jealousy will soon be able to enjoy the whole place in the sun for the "grande finale". The smell of the two Sweet Seeds totally upsets me! I would like to bite into it. Its killing me softly. Very few leaves have a few dark small spots or dots at the tips of the leaves. (Sour Jealousy) Many thanks to BerrySweetHighhat. I think the same. Will probably be calcium. She gets this from the Bio PK Booster. I keep calm and don’t panic, it’s organic. ;-)) Sour Jealousy: Today I cleaned out small shoots again & defoliated them from below up. I think there were still too many young little shoots. Now everything should be distributed quite well. We'll see. Tomorrow I will probably harvest both Sweet Seeds. Hello everybody! Today it's Dark and Big Devil's attack. It's about time. Lady Jealousy will be allowed to use the full 0.64 sqm of cultivation area for herself from today. Take care & bee 🐝 positive 🐝… to bee continued.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. This is the start of flushing for these lovely plants. I'll flower these plants to 10 weeks. I also like a few days of dark just before harvest. There's still food left in the medium, so the plants won't starve. I've found measuring the runoff that the first flush is around 750 ppm and the second flush is around 450 ppm and the third flush is around 250 ppm. The plants use up most of the food in the pots and have pulled alot from their leaves. Then it's time to harvest the very clean buds. There is no chemical taste if you flush and you get nice white ash when smoked. I got to say - look at the differences in the plants, wow, looks like 4 different strains. They all smell similar but look quite different. That is a common question on the questions page, why do my plants look so different from the same strain. Keep growing straight. Chuck.

Chimera Cut - Anesia Seeds 124 days of growth and 76 days into flowering, and we’ve finally reached the moment we’ve been waiting for—harvest time! This beauty has exceeded all our expectations with massive buds covered in resin, emitting an intense aroma and showing off an incredible blue hue, exactly like the photo on the seed pack. We couldn’t be happier with the results! We decided not to weigh the wet buds; we’ll wait until they’re dried to get the final dry weight, but we’re confident it’s going to be impressive. A massive thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their outstanding support, top-notch service, and, most importantly, their amazing fertilizers that have allowed us to grow such powerful plants year after year. Without a doubt, your products are the key to our success. An equally huge thanks to Anesia Seeds for providing such incredible genetics. We are beyond satisfied with the results, and we can’t wait to grow more from your amazing seed collection in the near future. Oh, and we’ve already sampled the smoke—this strain is exceptionally strong and flavorful. From the very first hit, it’s clear you’re smoking something premium, top-shelf quality. Truly a connoisseur’s delight! Thank you again to Xpert Nutrients and Anesia Seeds for making this journey so rewarding!🏆

Thelma (2 gal) has a massive fade setting in, only a handful of ambers though. I start her flush this week and will chop in 2 weeks, assuming the number of ambers has multiplied bigtime by then. Louise (3 gal) is looking nice and healthy and I'm looking forward to compare harvests between both, she's a week younger. So close!!

Plant is recovering well from defoliation. No pistles yet but looks like beginning of flowers forming. Going to call this first week of flowers. Plant doesn't seem to be getting any taller this is a genetic issue I think. Going to a different breeder next run. I think they are white label genetics which can be hit or miss.

Since the pot has a volume of 30l it takes a lot of time to create a big canopy. The plant also needs alot of time to fill up the container with roots. No extra nutrition in this week.

they all seem pretty dang Happy... Thank goodness :) All they are eating on is The Amazing Michigan Water only Soil.. 6.3 ph Then every other feeding I give them Planet Earth Tea Blend.. I did do the Flip with My 8 of my Clones.. They are all between 12 & 15 inches Tall. I only have about 3 feet of Space between the Lights and The Ladies. So its all Trial in Error... Thank Goodness it has been all Trial so far.. Flower room is Holding at 79.3 F & 52% Rh And 70.5 F 47 % RH During lights out. I need to find out what I am working with these Clones. I have 5 different Strains.. #1 1-Blue Alien.... #2. 2-Gorilla Glues#4's #3- 2 Tangerine Dream... #4. 6- Ghost OG Kush... #5 1 - Sun Set Sherbert..... Then I am going to Stay with Gorilla Glue and Green Crack since I have over 40 Seeds.. I prefer the 1 st Generation way better then Clones.. Much Easier to train them from seed...

And week 5 has began. All looking good. I had to bend over some of the colas, they were too tall. Smells is fantastic.
