25/07/2024 Lights On! Light increased: 520watts. Previously I mentioned the wind swept leaves, as well some are heat stress and slite toxicity from residue build up. Next grow, I'll connect all 3 buckets together and setup a mini system with resviour; should of done it from the start. Never-mind 27/07/2024 Lights On! 3 x 15L Buckets installed! Defolled and dimmed light to 420watts. 28/07/2024 Lights On! Increased light: 530watts Short Vid vid! 30/07/2024 Lights On! Mid-day! Lights Increased to 550watts NEXT GROW GETTING READY! (SCENE CHANGE!) Yellow Green - The Future X DC Seeds Yellow - Monkey Slapz X PreyBirds1 Red - Freaky Pablo X TerpyZ 31/07/2024 Lights On!

En esta última semana de prefloracion, aprovechamos a hacer otra poda de bajos y defoliación (como podéis observar,si se ha llevado bien hsta ahora el cultivo,y hacer correctamente los cortes,y en su momento, se recuperará en apenas horas/día. Seguimos regulando el led a un 75/85%(225/240w aprox) y entra en acción el terpesyn. Volvemos a aplicar enzynabis

12/24/2021 So far only one male has been identified. Glad I just reviewed my video I didn't even notice how light green #3 is, guess I mix her nutes up separately and see if she just hungry? Or naturally lighter than others. All other plants are using coast of Maine mixed into soil (her too) so I'll give her a little mirimichi 901C this week and see what happens. 12/30/2021 Noticing that there is two distinct differences between these girls, color light green and dark green.#1,#3,#8 are light green and #2,#4,#5,#6,#7 Other than that there very much similar growth and node spacing, little differences but very happy with uniformity.Both light green and dark green maintained their magenta petiols, gonna make notes on stem rub notes next week and see how they will compare.

📁 Folder 11 – LSD Week 3 · VEG (12/12 from Seed) Week 3 closes with beautiful, confident growth across all plants. Uniformity is strong, vigor is consistent, and it’s becoming very clear that we are working with solid, stable genetics. Despite different timelines, all plants are responding exceptionally well to the environment, the feeding program, and the hands-on approach. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Structure • 15-day VEG sister • Clearly larger and more established, as expected • Already pushing into approximately the 7th node • Strong vertical structure and well-spaced internodes • Acts as a reference point for genetic potential • 12/12-from-seed sisters • Currently working through the 3rd to 4th node • New true leaves actively emerging • If counting early single leaves, development aligns perfectly for Week 3 • All plants are remarkably similar in structure and expression Across the board, plants are showing: • Lush, healthy green coloration • Strong leaf posture • Excellent response to the soil and feeding regimen No signs of stress. No confusion. Just steady progression. ⸻ 🌿 Leaf Expression & Genetics Leaf shape, color, and texture are extremely consistent across all individuals. This level of similarity reinforces the idea that these genetics are well-selected and stable. So far: • No erratic behavior • No weak individuals • No outliers Everything feels balanced and intentional. ⸻ 💧 Watering Philosophy (Hands-On Approach) At this stage, everything is hand-watered, one plant at a time. • No automated irrigation • No connected systems • No shared reservoirs Each pot is lifted, weighed, and observed individually. Watering decisions are based on: • Pot weight • Visual cues • Leaf posture • Overall plant behavior This approach allows for: • Individual attention • Better understanding of each plant’s needs • Stronger grower–plant connection While this method will later be explained in more depth through video content, it’s important to document it here so readers understand how decisions are being made during these early stages. ⸻ 💡 Light & Environment (Baseline) Plants continue to grow into the light under a controlled PPFD range. No pushing, no forcing — just gradual adaptation. Everything else remains aligned with the locked baseline: • Stable temperatures • Balanced humidity • Consistent feeding • Clean, predictable conditions ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Continued node stacking and leaf expansion • Increased growth speed as root systems mature • Clearer differentiation between the 15-day VEG plant and the 12/12-from-seed plants • Preparation for more visible vertical movement in the coming weeks 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive stretch just yet • No need for stronger feeding • No aggressive training • No automation at this stage Observation remains the priority. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes Week 3 confirms that LSD is thriving under this approach. The combination of strong genetics, consistent environment, and hands-on care is producing predictable, healthy results. This is one of those weeks where nothing dramatic happens — and that’s a very good sign. Everything is right where it should be.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

so week 11.. The gorillaz are carrying on beautifully, however I realised having 5 plants sharing one reservoir is now quite a bad idea.. 2/5 of them look to be well into flower, fattening up and some tri's starting to turn cloudy but look like theres still plenty of fattening up to do. The other 3 are now just beginning to fully pistil up so will still be requiring flowering nutes when I should be beginning a flush on the other 2.. any comment or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!? The Stardawgs have basically grown into tennis balls. Such a vast majority of bud sites all the way down look so much larger than I could ever have hoped and i've had to tie some of the buds to the main colas!! I will Be starting the flush this week as most Tri's are now cloudy i'd say around 4/5 currently but more throrugh macros will be taken as the days progress. The only problem i've had is some of the sugar leaves on 2 of the plants have really taken a beating and show some strange signs. I think the LED's aren't to be under estimated and i've battled some burning and what seems to be calmag issues through the grow.

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 💪💪. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 😍😋 Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 👌 Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 😉😁💚 FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Day 120 On day 120, the plant appears to be in a very advanced stage of flowering, with large, dense clusters of buds forming across the entire canopy. The flowers are heavily coated with a thick layer of crystal-like trichomes, giving them a frosty and mature appearance. The leaves near the top remain mostly green, though some show subtle fading, while the lower leaves display more pronounced yellowing, creating a clear contrast between the upper and lower sections of the plant. The overall structure is wide and full, with many branches carrying well-developed buds. The environment’s reflective surfaces emphasize the size and texture of the flowers. The plant looks robust and visually mature, showing the typical signs of nearing the very end of its life cycle.

The week went well, with no major changes, except for the leaves showing a slightly higher tendency to droop. Overall, everything is looking good. The lower buds still need to finish forming, but progress is noticeable.

GMO (Garlic mushroom onion) was slow to flower but came on strong weeks 8 and 9 to produce some dense heavy sticky buds. The dry weight of the plant material is unsure, but I’ll report the weight of various bubble microns when dry. Pictures of the dry bubble and maybe a melt shot impending! To dry, I decided to microplane into pizza boxes lined with parchment. It’s been fun growing along with everyone on grow diaries. Awesome

Day 70 - She grew 4cm this week. Her flowers are not as developed as any of her tent mates, looks like she's going to take her time flowering. That's ok. I'm happy to wait 😀

Day 37 We started with nutes today Then all day long outdoors From 6AM to 6PM Plus CFL afterwards They rest for 3 hours and then CFL again Btw accidentally snapped one part of one big leave but that okay Since we don't do defoliation on her We guessing it's okay she will recover soon Day 38 Since she's such a queen we wanted to upload a video showing how she starts flowering for the record, thanks a lot You can Always follow me at Instagram @cannagrowersiriuz Also don't forget to add your comment below, it is important to us! We want to learn, any tips, suggestion, more than welcome my friends Happy Growing Day 39 Some mins before installing ScroG Day 40 Wonderful, she's out of there already so huge, full of buds Day 41 she's actually doing great full of buds but those 2 first leaves are a little bit sad looking weird plus those black dots idk and it's turning yellow in between I decided to remove it and well, I'm hoping she's doing well what else I could think of guys any help or concerns? At the end of the day, she's overall healthy and strong Day 42 Time to feed the babies, so we added 900PPM (300ml) floranova grow Followed by 1590ppm (300ml) flora nova bloom to make sure she's got all nutrients balanced well, also added 400ml of plain water after that so they could get a nice run off. I think they're happy and we gonna check on them in a couple days to see how they go, Ph is around 6.2 which is great Temp outdoors from 7-@ 1pm around 25C to 36C Then back indoors Temp is 28C and drop to 22 at night and dawn so they're good and comfortable Keeping humidity lvls around 40/65% top Nice AC and Fan for air circulation Thank you all for your support

Fine 4 settimana di flow procede tutto bene 2 LH2P mangiano di più rispetto le altre, alla fine le due ermafrodite dopo aver eliminato i rami con i fiori maschi non se ne sono più formati quindi ottimo ormai dovrei essere fuori pericolo ma continuo a controllare

Week 5 started off a bit rough. Continuing to over nute the plant babies, I realised I should flush and step back a little. The flush helped a lot. I keep the plants outside on days where the weather was good, and put them back inside to maintain 20/4 light schedule. I defoliated a large fan leaves at the bottom of the plants, as well as any of the yellowing leaves. This, coupled with the flushing, really seemed to perk them up. I trained some more of the branches and tucked away fan leaves blocking bud sites. All 5 plants are flowering, with B#2 (the untopped one), leading the charge with a solid main cola. I'm surprised by how little they stretched, but perhaps that has something to do with me nuking them with fertiliser at a critical point. Eh.

Week 6 (Day 42) - This week was a lot more manageable with temps as it has cooled off. I also was able to pick up a portable AC unit that has dehumidifier built in. I Macgyver’d a bunch of ductwork so I can run a hose to my tent, Amazing 🤩. I have been able to run consistent at 74 degrees with lights on, and 68-69 degrees with lights off, and humidity between 43-50 % Lots of new growth this week at the bottom canopy, both bud and leaf. Kinda gives me a better idea of timeline with this strain, I think it’s going to go 10-11 weeks from what I see online. Trichomes are still clear, but the hairs are turning nice colours, and I think I se me a touch of pink starting…👀 Buds continued to thicken, again, not huge by any means, but the ones that were small are fattening up, and there are so many of them 🤗 I think I’m going to feed nutrients this week, Monday is the start of week 7, and assess the situation then to determine when to start straight water feeds to begin the flush…

Nice increase in height this week with many beautiful new growth nodes. If i was going to Top, I'd do it here soon, but this gals gonna be mostly au natural. Still getting just the cfl bulbs for now while she's small so I can watch her closely. Already some amazing big fan leaves on her. Humboldt Seed Organization has this Blue Dream CBD labeled at a 1:1 ratio. Which can hopefully bring in a thc and cbd percentage of 10. I'll be on the lookout for smells of berries, pepper and citrus. Happy growing everyone. ✌️
