28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.

Starting to show signs of flowers had do give her a really good defoliating just keeps getting so bushy but it's Starting to look as if I know what I'm doing as well 😂 getting exited now to see what the buds will look like anyway until next week thanks guys 🙏

Buds starting to form!!!! Day 2 of week 8 4/3/25 UPDATE: Flushed with Fox farm sledgehammer ph’d at 6.8 Soils were low at 5.8 4/5/25 update: fed with nutes 4/7/25: watered with plain water ph’d at 6.5 4/8/25: did a slight heavy defoliation to get ready for week 9!

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

So this week has been quite eventful. First, for the good news, there has been tons of new growth and the plant has stretched like mad! The buds seem to be fattening up in the last couple of days which is always exciting!! That was the good news lol. The bad news is I found a few pollen sacks on this plant which is really disappointing. I have never run seeds from the breeder I went with this time around and I am chalking this up to weak genetics. I do not have any light leaks and I run a pretty tight and tidy ship on my end so it’s hard to think it was environmental. I pulled off what I found and it appears only one opened 🤦‍♂️ (see pictures). It has been a good 4 days since I have seen any so 🤞 I won’t see anymore. I will keep this plant going but if I wasn’t running a single plant I might pull the plug. Who likes seeds in their final product! 😬😬 Not me!! It would have been nice to see this lady without a set of nuts!! Cooler Internals: 5.9 pH 650 ppm 1.3 EC Water is at 65F

If you don't follow my Instagram then you will have to read this portion. Lineage Breakdown: Pink Sugar Breath F1 created by UFO Genetics. Pink Sugar Breath: Platinum Kush Breath(IHG) X Pink Sugar Cookies(UFO) Pink Sugar Cookies: Sugar Cane(IHG) X Gsc Twister Pink Sugar Breath F2: Pink Sugar Breath Male(Funk/Purple Stems/Dumper) X Pink Sugar Breath Female(Pink Sugar Cookie Pheno) Bred by Me. I originally popped a good amount of these testers I created using a funk sugar breath male and a baker dough sugar breath with more of the pink sugar cookie lineage. This resulted in a pheno hunters dream. Each pheno develops massive amounts of resin. Green phenos imo are the best smokes SO far. They range from chemical og funk to og funk and dough. The purple pheno has more of a kush breath with sugary dough to it. Lastly is the pink pheno. The pink pheno develops amazing trichome production with all terps within the mom and pop. I originally popped these in x3 ran soil. They were broken in half. Overwatered. You fucking name it. I was stress testing this already herm vulnerable gsc twisted/ogkb hybrid. That being said the average grower should have minimum to none herm issues. 3 broke out batch but it was just a small trait from the vigorous stress I gave them. They developed high bract to leaf ratio with an intense sativa high. Growing these require 63 to 72 for a full expressions and an added body buzz with that kush breath high. 9/10. Flowering expect these to stretch 3x as big. They will need boosters/ extra feeding withing 17 days from flip. These are limited tested F2s. Only available @ [email protected]

Cada vez tiene mas pelos, mas pistilos, ya estan tomando la forma de cogollos. Estos a su vez se ven blancos, en buen estado. La planta se ve bien, saludable y esta captando los nutrientes rapidamente

I’m glad I started the diary with my first grow. It’s 2020 & this grow had all sorts of stresses and trauma but can out nicely. I’m forgetful & keeping track of the details helped tremendously; especially when everything has been so chaotic in the world & also in my garden. All’s well that end well...

She got really stout and bushy like a Christmas tree, you can tell by the stem structure that the colas are gonna be thick and dense, but boy did she have a Crazy couple of weeks. First it was little spots of powder mildew. Then She kept getting spider mites and i couldnt seem to keep them away. i have a lot of other plants and veggies growing my garden so i moved her. Little did i know that her being near my sunflowers meant that some type of sunflower worm would get to it and one burrowed inside the stem of the main cola so i had to trim that way down to keep it from rotting. The mold and the mites were friggin persistent so i moved her to a different location and shes doing so much better. im almost positive i stunted her by trimming the main cola. Im not mad though cause it looks like she has 4 different colas growing in its place so im ok with that. Most descriptions say she finishes flowering around 10-11 weeks and I'm there now with a lot of maturing left to do. Shes looking healthy so well see how she matures!

From sprout, I've been watering every 3-4 days. Been very consistent with this. Yellow tips been appearing. I think it could be Magnesium or Calcium deficiency. Hit it with some Calmag with iron.

Day 71 - Defoliated today as she's starting to swell out. Took off around 30-40 fan leaves around the edges but also those growing towards the inside on the plant. Day 73 - I woke up this morning to the smell of sweet sweet Mary Jane! I left the tent slightly peeled open for the night to help with humidity and this morning my house smells of weed! Time to get out those odor control gels! By the way it smells amazing. Day 75 - I added a video flyover of my tent. Defoliated some more light blocking leaves this morning. In doing so I brushed by some flowers and man they are getting sticky!

Switched to 12/12 on the 10th of september Rock on Growmies 🌱

There’s microscopic bugs crawling on my buds! Going to post a grow question about them. No more nutrients, she’s definitely getting close, so let’s use plain water and hope for the best in the next week or two.

Defoled and tied down and she’s pumping now , another week of veg keeping up the defol and spreading her out before flipping. I’ll raise the lights this week to get a bit more vertical growth .

this strain is amazing!! I loved growing it, despite very slow growth and very small internodal spaces, it is very resistant to stress and topping!! it revealed itself in flowering with pretty compact buds, a smell of bugs (yes, bugs!!), with strong notes of grapefruit, gasoline... no waste in the taste!! I recommend, I will grow it again

Day 9-16/04/22 all looking good will begin to give them some root juice tomorrow!!! And the 2 seeds that I germinated to replace the 2 that didn’t come out are in the now Aswell. - Day 12-19/04/22 all looking good have them root juice and everything is looking good. - Day 13-20/04/22 ITs 420 somewhere!!!!!! Everything looking good gave them some more root juice today!!!!

9/6 - Looks like 6 of 6 germinated. They are now in the nursery. Going in the Organic direction with this grow. First time trying it but i like the fact that you can have a "living soil", reuse the soil, and a big thing thing for me is that you don't have to flush like you probably should if you use salt based synthetic nutrients. My 2 cents. 9/14 - progressing nicely. Installed a better light source for them.

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Be sure to drop a like so I know u dropped by and I can then check out your grows. Or not, I'll leave that down to you but either way good luck with your grows, stay safe. 28/4/22 Have started these on the voodoo/La Calvera. These versions are from the ppl who hold the pattens and make a lot of ANs formulas. They have just improved upon most of the AN line up but they kept these the same. As they are tried and tested. You can check these out on led-grower.eu/terra-power/ and read up on them for yourself. Going to be running this one differently. As I can only use Terra Power Nutrients that match what AN products I have to make it fair, as it's a comparison grow I won't be using the 50 billion microbes per 1ml enzyme and a few other things. Have to make it as fair as I can. Everything will be the same, (only thing that will be different is the feed charts and how some of terra Power Nutrients can be applied as a foiler spray, I'm going to be following AN/TP grow charts to the letter to make it as fair as possible with decent results). Pot size, transplant/feed/light time Will all be the same. Hopefully soon you'll be able to click on them and look em up when they join GD in the next wk or so. As soon as both plants start to show leafs I will then apply nutrients in a very small dose. Like .5ml/l to start off with and of course I'll use the same amount of nutrients ml/ml. Hopefully the PPM won't go too high in TP as if it is I'll have to use less TP to match the PPM or get it close but if its not off by too much that it won't hurt the plant I'll be running with it. Maybe I'll add the nutrients solo when they start to feed. Both plants have been given 100ml of voodoo/La Calavera 300ppm 6ph 20c temp. 100ml and will apply again in 2 days. And when leafs start to show I'll start them on a weekly base nutrient feed but for waters in between I'll most likely be adding enzymes and root stims on every feed as they have very little EC and won't cause nutrient/tip burn. This is 1 of 6 so far that has been planted. 50% of the strains I have doubled up on, for this 1 though there'll be dif ph/ppm and that which I will add here. Advanced nutrients grow: everything I did above was repeated. PPM was 280 PH was 5.7 temp was 20c. When leafs show I will apply base nutes. I've laid a damp towel down around the pots on the ground to try and bring the RH up to 70+. (Don't fully wet the towel as it won't dry fast enough to make an impact on RH.) 30/4/22 Veg started on both ladies. VD1, both look very nice and just 38hrs in the ground they are both up. When I checked last night they weren't up but I had a feeling some would pop while I was sleeping, so I decided to turn on the grow light. I know it doesn't need to be on until they are up and showing the 2lil fan leafs but hey, 65% it is set at and 45cm away. RH is holding at 67% wet towel is just about dry will be wetting it again. Will also give both girls a feed after they come out of their rest period. As they are all so new I have turned the light on a 7/7 meaning every hrs it comes on and off. Will hold off on nutrients until I see both plants holding out hands. Will introduce some enzymes later today also. 1ml/L of Piranha and tarantula for both of them with voodoo. Both nutrient brands are the same, it's the same formula. Decided to make up the mix. Each custom terra P nutrient has a corresponding Adv Nutrient underneath. I'm going exactly of each of their grow charts and using as guide lines. Adv Nutrients says to use Tarantula&Piranha in weeks 1-2 of grow but terra Powers versions say to use these on weeks 3-4 So that's why I'm going to do. Ive used ml/ml in each nutrient. Adv Nutrients PH was 6.4ph and the EC was .94 TERRA POWERS nutrients were more stable and more potent PH 6.0 EC 1.19. So it looks like the PH balanced nutrients aren't controlled by the amount of ml you use as when you use 2ml/L of both grow A+B of adv nutrients the PH is in the range of 6.2. Water used was 6.7 our tap water has gone up must be because we coming into summer and the ppm jumped up from 78 to 105ppm. I use a charcoal filter for all my water doesn't change PH but lowers PPM from 78 to 105. I'll be using this 1L mix throughout it's 1st wk on every feed. As it's such a low dose I have no concern about salt build up. When I up the ml/L I'll use 1L of mix feed of each nutrient. So if the dose is 1ml/L they'll get that total amount in 1 week and as they get bigger and will be able to take 1l at a time they'll only be getting 1 feed of nutrients and water/enzyme feeds and root stims with no EC/SALT. 2/5/22 Both plants doing well. Fed again today. 100ml both plants their own nutrient mix. Both held the same EC but AN PH went up to 6.6 from 6.4 (still fine, and reasonable for a 3 day old mix) and terra power no change. 4/5/22 Made new mixes for both plants adjusted AN PH to 6, the same as Terra Power. (Needs no PH-+ ).. to make it as fair as I can, I've added a biobizz calmag agent to both mixes. 2ml/L was added to all 8mixes. 400ppm 2ml/L PH was 6.4 had to use PH - To bring it to 5.8. Didn't have any affected on the PH of terra power or the adjusted AN. I am guessing I only need a PH - now is cause I'm using so little of the PH perfect solution which is normally 6 but when mixed normally AN holds 6.2-3...Terra Power holds on 6 on everything so far. 6-7 nutrients all 6 PH. La Sirena is sooooo potent. Decided to add La Calavera aka voodoo juice. So, since I don't have a lux/ppfd meter. I use this to know exactly where it's most powerful. It really helped. As I had 4 plants is 12000 where I had space where the light was hitting 18500, I know the strength is off, but it gives me a guide as to where to place my plants it is going to help so much. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly. In the beginning of flower in going to seal my 150x150 and I'll add 2 co2 bags into it and seal it up with the dehuimifier set at 45% 12/12 and it'll be superhot and I'll then put the photos into a negative pressure environment that'll be 8-10c lower and will have 45-50% RH, hopefully this will bring any terps out, the autos will get a 6hr rest in a negative pressure environment also this will bring the temp down by 8-10c and giving me a sudden drop in temp, let's see what happens. Same Day. Decided to brace AdvNutrient plant so she grows up right, she started to bend, had bout a 30degree bend. Simply braced her with a clamp to a stick a few cm away from the tap root with stem inbetween, should keep the ADVNUTE plant up right. Terra Power plant growing straight and healthy, she was only started on the root stim yday and no enzymes yet and she's not too far behind. I can see TP take the lead in the late veg-pre flower stage. Idk. But there's 2 major nutrients ADV plant is getting was 3 all week and then I added La Calavera (ANs voodoo juice) last night. Going to be running another AN/TP grow this time I'm not only going to match Nute for nute but the same time and ML/ML will be given also. Check out CBD CA for results. This will be the last update for this week. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime

17-05-2021: As you might have seen I have added some reflective foil to reduce heat on the water. This helps a lot. Growth is as expected but they are a bit on the bright side. Well yesterday the set EC was raised from 1.3 to 1.6 so probably new leaves will be a bit darker. Also added a bit of Calmag. Still great to see that as soon the roots touch the water the growth is exploding. Well yet 13 days till 12/12 so I am excited to see how big these ladies will be by then. Hoping for a seventh node before that. 18-05-2021: Today I dosed 18ml of H2O2 (50% silver stabilized). I have seen a few algae so if they are gone by tomorrow I keep this dose, if they are not I will give them a shock treatment of 50ml. In this system I don't have to worry about clogging (50mm tubes) but I also believe that if it is not necessary I shouldn't do it. Dosing is advised from the supplier based on tomatoes by the way. 19-05-2021: All survived the H2O2. Today I have added additional 18ml. Just to see what happens. Growth seems a bit faster last night 22-05-2021: Blue is not doing great... I hope they survive. Red is still OK
