Hello, Grow Diaries fam! 🌿✨
We’re now in Week 10 from seed, and what a journey it’s been. This week, the grow room has transformed into a breathtaking display of autumnal beauty, with the plants showcasing stunning fades and vibrant colors as they enter their final stages of life. It’s a true celebration of nature’s cycles, and the energy in the room is palpable. Let’s dive into this epic week!
🌟 Week 10 Highlights 🌟
The plants are embracing their last days with grace, each one revealing a unique spectrum of colors and expressions. The transition to 12/12 light cycle continues to push them toward their full potential, all thanks to the Big Demon, who’s still leading the charge with her massive stature. Here’s a closer look at what’s been happening:
1. Moon Rock 🚀:
• Appearance: Moon Rock is a sight to behold, with her compact buds now radiating deep purples and blues. The fading leaves add a touch of gold and burgundy, creating a gorgeous contrast.
• Maturity: Trichomes are nearing their peak, with a beautiful mix of milky and amber hues. The plant is exuding a rich, earthy aroma that’s both soothing and powerful.
• Notes: Moon Rock’s structure remains solid, with every bud dense and resinous. She’s almost ready to harvest, but we’re giving her a bit more time to fully mature and express her genetics.
2. Opium 🌸:
• Appearance: Opium has embraced the autumn spirit with a stunning display of fiery reds, oranges, and purples. The buds are heavy, covered in a thick layer of trichomes, and the leaves are curling into a final, beautiful farewell.
• Maturity: The buds are at their densest, with pistils mostly curled and darkened. The scent is intoxicating, with sweet and spicy notes filling the room.
• Notes: Opium is reaching her final form, with the fade adding to her allure. She’s almost ready to give up her bounty, and we’re closely watching the trichomes to catch the perfect harvest moment.
3. Big Demon 💪:
• Appearance: Big Demon continues to dominate, with her towering colas still swelling and gaining density. Her leaves are just beginning to show signs of fade, with a mix of deep greens and light yellows starting to emerge.
• Maturity: She’s not quite there yet, still pushing out new growth and adding weight to her massive buds. The trichomes are mostly clear, indicating that she’s got more to give before she’s ready.
• Notes: Big Demon is the reason we switched to 12/12, and she’s proving to be worth the wait. Her potential is enormous, and we’re excited to see how much more she’ll develop in the coming weeks.
🌟 The Beauty of the Fade 🌟
This week, the grow room has become a canvas of color, with each plant expressing its own unique fade:
• Moon Rock: Deep purples and blues with a touch of gold.
• Opium: Fiery reds, oranges, and purples, creating a warm, autumnal palette.
• Big Demon: Still mostly green, but with hints of yellow signaling the beginning of her fade.
The fade is not just a visual treat—it’s also a sign that the plants are nearing the end of their life cycle. As the leaves lose their chlorophyll, they reveal the hidden pigments underneath, resulting in the stunning colors we see now. It’s a reminder of the natural process of life, death, and renewal, all happening within the grow room.
🌟 Environmental and Nutrient Strategy 🌟
We’re continuing with our tried-and-true strategy:
• Water:
• TDS: 400 ppm
• pH: 6.2
• Temperature: 18°C
• Grow Room Conditions:
• Temperature: 30.3°C
• Relative Humidity (RH): 51%
The Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED is still our powerhouse, providing the perfect light spectrum for these final weeks. The TrolMaster Hydro X controller keeps the environment stable, ensuring that the plants have everything they need to finish strong.
🌟 Reflecting on the Journey 🌟
As we approach the end of this run, it’s amazing to see how far the plants have come. From tiny seeds to these magnificent, flowering beauties, it’s been a journey of growth, learning, and appreciation for the magic of cultivation. Each plant has its own story, and the fades we’re witnessing now are like the final chapter of a well-written novel.
🌱 Next Steps 🌱
• Monitoring Maturity: We’re keeping a close eye on the trichomes and the overall appearance of the plants to determine the perfect harvest window.
• Final Feed Adjustments: We’re starting to consider a flush for the plants that are nearing harvest, ensuring the smoothest, cleanest smoke possible.
• Harvest Preparations: With harvest just around the corner, we’re getting everything ready for a seamless transition from plant to drying room.
Thank you for following along on this incredible journey. The finish line is in sight, and we can’t wait to share the final results with you all!
Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚

79 days!!!!! and the harvest is already harvested :) The whole growth until week 6 went very well, then the girl got a little worse, (I think it's my mistake, which I described in previous weeks), but besides all that she managed to ripen perfectly, matured stiff flowers, full of shiny sticky trichomes with a very, very sweet aroma ;) 210 gr of wet buds, I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash :) I can't wait to taste it :) this is my first trip with Sweetseeds Looking at the flowers I understand that I will definitely repeat it :) I will leave more feedback after the smoke review:) good luck to everyone.

Flowering has been an uphill battle against high humidity. Close to the end though. I can't wait I've been watching so many videos and been reading on forums from this point, harvesting, drying and curing. Still looks like itll be a while before smoking. But anyway this has been a great new experience.

Okay had to start 2 purple strains one of them being LSD-25 and the other Blackberry in the second journal. I still have 2 open air pots filled to the brim with fox farm ocean forest, froggy frog, and coco choir in approximately a 2:1:1 ratio. I'm still anticipating the unreleased strains from fastbuds fingers crossed. I placed both these girls taproot down right before the Eclipse.
Day 1 above ground: August 23rd.
I like to stretch them early to allow for more room for watering since I like to bush them out. Stretching them early allows for a long strong stem and hopefully sets the precedent for future growth rate. Stretched them out s littlllllle too much haha forgot my light was in 50%. No harm no fail. I'll take better pics when they take off.

Week 8
Day 51
Ladys starting to fat up the buds, a bit slowly this time but it's OK.
Lemon Kix is a super smelly one, she stinks like lemon haze with bubblegum.
Followed by Trainwreck and Orange Sherbet, really smelly
Orange Sherbet disappointed till now, the buds looking really fluffy. I know she's got another 4 good weeks maybe more, but at the same time my last Orange Sherbet looked like a completely another strain.
All lady's starting to get hungry, bottom leaves getting yellow and some just fall off. But the top should last to 2-3 weeks more.
Cinderella Jack stopped to stretch ( she's huge) and now focused on the bud production. I think she gonna produce some fat big buds. 😁
Day 54
Orangesherbet that's what you get when you don't pay attention to your lady 😕 she got a really bad lockout
The pH must be off, gonna see how she responds in the next weeks. That's why the buds are so airy. Gonna water her with 6.5 pH and add some Batguano after that.
Purple Punch showing also signs of some Def. But it looks like a normal Nitrogen Def, thats not a big problem, gonna give her some Batguano too.
Day 56
Hmm the buds from Lemon Kix didn't fat up till now, I hope they don't produce fluffy buds cause right now it looks like that.
Compared to Blue Dream all lady's far behind with the Bud production
Orange Sherbet smells amazing good but also she don't fat up. I know this will took another 3-4 more weeks.
Purple Punch is very healthy she shows no signs of stress, but she's extremely hungry for potassium, like my last one.
Trainwreck looking good but also still behind with the bud structure, when I compare them to my last run, they are really far away from 70 days (germinate to harvest) this gonna go minimum till week 12 😩.

God's Vagina seedling seems to have finally established its roots and begun to thrive. The clone was yellowing I belive from being root bound. She was transplanted today 04/27. End of the week update! 05/03/2020 God's Vagina was topped at the 5th node yesterday(05/02) First time ever topping but she seems to be recovering nicely. Will begin with low stress training on the clone soon in an attempt to keep both plants at roughly the same height. Yellowing on the clone is nearly all gone. Planning on keeping them in veg for another 6 weeks.

i harvested second part this week. the rest will be harvested in about a week. Buds turned out beautifully. Great Colours and great smell.
My best Autoflower so far. Terps are dark and red Berrys combined with some floral Rose aroma. Super Sticky and as you can see good producer.

Woche 10
Schöne stinkige Blüten am Blümchen welche so langsam immer dicker werden. Trichome sind, wie zu dieser Zeit bei 56 bis 63 Tagen agegebener Blüte zu erwarten, noch Glasklar. Da das Blümchen zwischenzeitlich Adlerklauen bekam, wurde die Wassermenge, sowie Düngerkonzentration reduziert.
* Zustand der Pflanze: Kräftiger Blütestretch, erste Blütenstände sichtbar.
* Wichtige Ereignisse: Anhebung des DLI.
* Düngung & Messwerte:
* Gießwasser: pH ca. 6,5. Leitwert 0.9
* Drain: Wir stellen sicher, dass der pH-Wert nicht unter 5,5 und nicht über 6,8 liegt und der Leitwert die +/- 500 S Abweichung einhält.
* Anpassungen: Das Blümchen hat sich bisher mäßig nur mäßig gestreckt um auf die Hohe ihrer Mitbewohnerin zu kommen wurde sie daher auf einen Hocker gestellt. (Zum Glück haben wir kein SCROG-Netz gespannt)

Fantastic classic strain that I'll be growing this again, I've grown her 2 times in the past, love to see those Heavy indica leaves, gorgeous plant, didn't really stretched too much if you compare with the rest of the plants of this season, very discreet plant to grow outdoors, heavy producer that it's great to train and make a relatively short bush full of fat colas everywhere!

For germination I like to soak my seed in a glass of water for 24hrs. Then I move it to a slightly moist paper towel and place it in a sealed container placed on a heat mat or warm surface for 24hrs. I'm using KIS ORGANICS Biochar Soil blend which is water only. I'll topdress with worm castings and the KIS Organics Nutrient Pack. I also have some Build a Soil craft blend and build a flower so I may switch that up when the time come. I'll update on what I decide regardless. ✌️🏼

d43 - 9.26 - Recovering quite nicely. Was able do just about all the training and trimming I want to before I switch to flower around the end of week 8. My Fast White Widows are definitely more ground hugging, while the Black Sugars are reachers, but still manageable. They have all been trained to best fit the recovery of each individual plant, so my canopy definitely isn't going to be even 😅Nonetheless, grateful they have been resilient little buggers and happy for the chance to take them flower, regardless of whether I'll have the picture perfect tent. 🙏
D47 - 9.30 - I lied. I had to train a little more. One BS cola was really outgrowing the rest, and the opposite side of plant had taken for damage from bug treatment two weeks ago so i HST'd it back and spread the other. Still planning to flower them in 7-14 days!

I stopped nutrients a few days ago. Beginning to see a mixture of amber and milky trichomes. Flushing for a few more days then harvest. Such a beautiful first grow for me. What an experience. Will be germinating my next seed shortly before harvest red poison from sweet seeds. This was my first grow it was a random free seed with my order of red poison from gardensupplyplug. Will be getting a new light also my viparspectra v1200 is taking a shit lenses on leds are melting but leds all still work somehow. Gonna go with a brand new xs4000 since I bought the one I have used on offer up it's 3 years old. Thanks if you read this and left a comment!

Our Permanent Marker from Zamnesia has responded very well to the application of the techniques, it has started the flowering phase very well and is preparing to prepare our gifts.
** Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety.
Here we are talking about a very effective Main Lining, a bit difficult at the beginning but now very successful. Generally speaking, it is performed like this: first topping cut at the 2/3rd internode maximum, the plant is allowed to continue for another three internodes and then topping again. The lateral branches can be worked with topping again but I recommend doing it only if the plant is responding well.
We are in a 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot).
We are fertilizing with // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Bloom - 1ml/l Power Buds
We sprayed 5 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week.
For all the info https://plagron.com/
All nutrients are available from Zamnesia: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop/476-fertilizers
We always have RQS's excellent mycorrhizae running through the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html
Try this variety, it is a top strain of recent years very high level of thc ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html
Brief description of Zamnesia // Here is a good opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning variety: Permanent Marker was crowned Strain of the Year 2023 by Leafly, thanks to its intense aromas, high levels of THC and its physical vivacity. Originally created by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern top cultivar, so you can grow it comfortably at home, whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker fits perfectly in any environment!
The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors.
