-06.04.2025 Today is the day. After a thorough examination of the trichomes, I decided to harvest the two Blueberry Automatics. After a total of eleven weeks. The wet weight of the flowers of Blueberry#1 = 77 grams, Blueberry#2 = 74 grams. The flowers are now hung out to dry and will be weighed again in 7days. -11.04.2025 After 6 days the Blueberry Automatics are dry. The branches broke directly when bent with a nice cracking sound. The dry weight of both plants together is 34g. The flowers were stored in jars for curing with a humidity packet from IntegraTM and a hydrometer. Total Time: 1879,36h Total Energy: 326,30kWh 1kWh: 0,30€ Energy Cost total: 97,89€ 💚

Привет любители травки Началась новая неделя С утра я подгибал ветки на цветке и одна кола лопнула и переломилась и осталась висеть на четверти стебля После перелома меня охватила паника и боль , но я вовремя зафиксировал стебель и наложил ей шину Прошло пол дня и вроде все обошлось Стебель у этой девочки жесткий , но хрупкий с ней LST очень аккуратно надо проводить А в целом мне нравится её генетика . Day 40 Сегодня я поменял раствор на стадию цветения будем дальше наблюдать как пойдут дела

July 18: a week of recovery after the hail damage 7 days ago. Will leave this at 8 colas rather than 16. This plant is fairly compact and I I don’t want to height limit her too much compared to the other plants. July 19: mostly overcast and added second layer of scrog net to help spread and stabilize. Fast growth after first night of force flowering. July 23: she has grown 5” in 5 days. Lost a stem or two to the hail storm but she is doing okay now.

Harvest update on flowering day 75 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey everyone ☺️👍. Today there is a short update of the harvest before the last update after the fermentation comes 😀👍. Both phenotypes were very easy to cut due to their very good bud to leaf ratio ☺️. I already like both phenotypes in terms of smell, although I have to say that Phenotype 1 smells much better and fruity 😍. Was trimmed clean by hand with disinfected scissors :-). Before harvest, both plants were given complete darkness for 48 hours. The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber 😍. You can now dry for 7-12 days on the net at 62% humidity. Then it goes for another 12-17 weeks in the glasses with 62% boveda packs which are then changed to 58% boveda packs :-). Until then and for the final harvest update, I wish you all a lot of fun. Stay healthy and let it grow 👍🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

Day 44 - The smell is divine, and the buds are looking very pretty. Beautiful fade going on in the leaves, almost like a purple/red/black. Planning to tapper down the nutrients as we are coming closer to Harvest. Crucial to keep the pH in range during flowering and being away a few days, I wasn't able to correct it until I was back. So they were drinking more water than uptaking nutrients.. leaving a high EC in the system. Corrected the issue by adding plain RO water, treated with cleanse, no nutrients. They are now on track and could do with a last defoliation, but I've been holding it off. Will get around to it over the next few days. The buds are sticky, smell great and rock hard. Dehumidifier was added to the tent to try lower the humidity to a better range. Can't wait to see the end results and product. Another 2 weeks an I think we will be good.

During week one we trimmed up a bit and staked. Plants are doing well but are not drying out(drinking a lot of water, even the larger ones). We also hand feed for a whole week as to avoid early overwatering with the auto system. I just came back from adding nutrients to the reservoir. There is a small thrip problem, we have sprayed two days in a row with something the grow store gave us for free, and decided to give it a shot, it never hurts to change up the pesticide schedule I have seen very little fungus nat activity thus far. I also reduced the automated watering to 50% using the valves since we can’t choose anything under a minute for feeding. Current auto feed schedule is once for a minute 15 min after lights on and once for a minute four hours later. Plant health is overall good. Only concern I have at the moment are that all of the harambe plants new growth are extremely light green in color in comparison to the other plants But they are also slightly bigger by 4-6 inches and closer to the light. My only guess at the moment is transplant shock from LED(veg) to HID(bloom) or they are slightly too close to the light I super cropped 2-3 harambe plants that were stretching a bit. Hopefully if proves useful in the long run. Day 12 update: Plants are drinking water at a very uneven rate creating over watering issues. I’ll have to look into flow adjusters per plant in the future. Reduced automated watering to once a day and I’ll just check in daily. Also noticed heavy foliage growth on most plants. I spent about an hour pulling large fan leaves that were covering tons of potential budding sites. Some of the Colin OG are already starting to pistol up, always a nice sign.

Hello everyone. Another week passed, gave her water and some enzimes on day 33, I noticed some leaf intervenal discoloration, not too concerning in my opinion. Maybe the enzimes were too much or some nutrient lock out due to a somewhat excessive fertilization. Any opinion on this issue? I think will go on with plain water to the end I think, hoping the problem will sort out itself. What do you think? Other then that I think buds oare forming fast and fine, she's putting out a little resin and smell now. Ciao 😊

This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us. More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready. Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl. There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night. A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier. The girls smell amazing 😎

Cada vez mas cerca del objetivo, van flying que te cagas! Jajajajajaja están creciendo muuy bien, se expanden muuuy bien y los abonos se controlan. Hubo una ligera sobrefertilización al hacer el trasplante pero ya lo solucione, la planta mas afectada de las 4 fue la "Critical" normal, pero a esa le meti 10L de riego con flush para arrastrar todas las sales y demás. A las otras 3 les hice lo mismo pero con 5L. Ahora que ya están casi secas, han tardado 3 dias en secarse mas hoy el dia entero 4, están maravillosas, todas con sus hojas fuuuertes y mirando al techo, la critical es un poco la que aun le queda un poquito, pero con el proximo riego yo creo que ya se recupera. Luego, voy a ver si en breve planto alguna auto y la meto al indoor unas 2 o 3 semanas y me la saco al exterior... Ya veré sinceramente que en mi exterior tengo ciertos problemas dificiles de controlar, entre otros, vecinos que no saben lo que significa la palabra intimidad 😅. Aaahh lo olvidaba!! Se ven hojas manchadas, eso es porque les metí ayer una limpieza guapa guapa foliar por delante y por detras a todas las plantas con un producto de estos tipicos de jabón potasico + aceite de neem, ya junto, en plan los 2 en 1. De entre las cosas que he ido aprendiendo con los cultivos, es que es muy importante hacer estas aplicaciones y ya no estas a modo preventivas, sino agua sola ayuda mucho, especialmente pulverizarla lo mas fuerte posible A LOS TALLOS, a la totalidad de los tallos/ramas de las plantas. Es verdad que los bichos suelen irse a las hojas a comer peeeeeeeeeero en mi experiencia, su base las hacen en los tallos y ramas, si, en la parte mas cercana a las hojas, peeero en las ramas! Por lo que minimo una vez a la semana procuro pegarle una buena pasada como si de una Karcher se tratara y si que el armario es nuevo y procuro tener cuidado, pero de momento todo bien respecto a plagas.

Week 14 from seed — or around Week 9 flower in this 12/12 from seed journey — and today we focus on our Sour Diesel. The small one. The difficult one. The “unhappy” girl of the room. And honestly? Sometimes those are the plants that teach us the most. This report also represents the beginning of harvest time for her, although we decided to divide the final documentation into multiple updates because there were simply too many photos and too much to talk about in a single post. So this entry focuses mainly on the living plant itself: her structure, morphology, resin production, density, colors, trichomes, and overall expression before harvest. The next report will go deeper into the harvest process itself — cutting, trimming, drying, observations after chop, and eventually the smoke review once everything is properly cured. Now, let’s address the obvious part first: yes, she stayed much smaller than the rest of the room. And that’s completely okay. When growing multiple genetics together in one shared environment, perfection for every individual plant becomes impossible. One room cannot fully satisfy the exact preferences of every cultivar at the same time. Some genetics dominate the environment naturally, while others adapt differently. Sour Diesel in this case never became the biggest or happiest plant in the tent, but she never stopped fighting either. And honestly, there is something beautiful about that. Despite her smaller structure, she produced dense, compact flowers with excellent frost coverage and surprisingly solid stacking. She may not have filled the room vertically, but she absolutely made her presence known up close. Sometimes quality hides inside smaller frames. Morphologically she developed in a very compact way compared to the taller spear-shaped plants around her. Tight internodes, clustered flower sites, chunky calyx development, and resin-covered sugar leaves gave her a very distinct look in the room. As harvest approached, the flowers started showing more maturity signals everywhere: pistils darkening and curling inward, calyxes swelling harder day after day, resin heads thickening, and that beautiful late-flower texture beginning to appear across the buds. And honestly, the trichomes are looking gorgeous. Frost levels became impressive for such a small plant, especially in macro range. Under magnification, the flowers almost stop looking real. Tiny crystal forests everywhere, sticky sugar leaves, swollen resin heads, and layers of texture forming across every surface. Some trichomes are still clear, many are cloudy, and small amber signs are beginning to appear here and there — exactly the kind of progression we like to monitor carefully during these final stages. The colors also started telling the end-of-cycle story. Greens slowly softening, pistils shifting into orange and brown tones, flowers tightening up and looking heavier despite the plant’s overall small size. She may not have been the easiest plant in the room, but visually she absolutely earned her moment. And of course, we cannot ignore the newest member of the inspection team: our tiny plastic fly friend. He or she took the job very seriously this week, carefully inspecting trichomes, density, calyx development, and overall quality control during the photoshoot. Thankfully, the inspection passed successfully. No complaints from management. This update is also a reminder that not every successful plant needs to be gigantic. Sometimes growers become too focused on size and forget to appreciate resilience, uniqueness, resin quality, flower density, or simple beauty. Sour Diesel may have remained compact, but she still carried herself with character all the way to the finish line. For now, we continue observing and documenting her final living moments before harvest. The next update will dive much deeper into the actual chop, trimming, drying process, and final impressions once she officially completes her journey. So if anyone has been following this little fighter since the beginning, stay tuned — we are not finished with her story yet. Massive thanks once again to everyone involved in this journey: Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the support. The sponsors and equipment partners helping make these projects possible. Grow Diaries for providing the platform. The growers sharing advice and positivity. The longtime followers who have been here since the first weeks. The new people discovering the project now. The skeptics, the critics, the silent viewers, the supporters — everybody crossing through here adds something to the experience. From grower to growers, thank you for following along. And to our little Sour Diesel: small, stubborn, frosty, and unforgettable. — A quick note about some of the macro photos and “photo merges” shared in this diary. A lot of the close-up images shown here are actually focus-stacked macro photographs. That means they are not a single photo, but a combination of many images merged together to create one final detailed shot. Depending on magnification and depth, some stacks here were made from around 50–60 photos, while the biggest one in this update reached around 255 individual frames. Why? Because at high magnification, the depth of field becomes incredibly small. Sometimes only a tiny part of the trichome or calyx is in focus at once. So we take many photos while slowly shifting focus through the subject, capturing different layers of detail from front to back. After that, all frames are merged together using Affinity Photo 2, creating a single image with much more depth and sharpness than a normal macro shot could achieve alone. Final color adjustments and edits are also done afterward to better represent what we experienced visually in the studio. So behind every “simple” trichome photo there is actually a surprising amount of work, patience, and processing involved — but honestly, it’s worth it. These plants become entire microscopic worlds once you get close enough. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

******** Week 8 - Jan 27 to Feb 2/20 (Days 50 - 56 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs have remained a nice bright white all week pointing up. Noticing some curling a bit of the hairs towards end of the week. They are white but there is a small red hair here and there now. Giving her a couple more days of feed but flush is here soon. Heavier leaf strip on Wednesday and have continued through out as rotating her in the tent under the light. Took off probably 25%. Looked at a couple of lower buds and was going to strip them but at this point figured the heck with it and a little more for rosin😃 She is dark in my opinion and hope she will continue to feed and work through all that nitrogen. She was also given a feeding this week with Epsom Salts. A lot of red on some of the other plants so worked Magnesium Sulphate in that way. I think I could have gone harder on the CalMag earlier and/or introduced epsom salt earlier as well. Changed the light schedule this week. Moved her to 19 hours of light because she is not falling to sleep at lights out. I know that I could have the lights closer but given how Skywalker has grown I can’t lower them as much as I would like. Will try compensating with longer daylight period.😉 Worth a try! Will keep up Liquid Weight and Rezin to the end and see how she is as a result. Not used these supplements before. Not sure if I will use AN Flawless Finish this run or not? Little more detail: Jan 27/20 - Day 50 - Feed: 2L - Mass @ 4ml, Terp@ 3ml, Vitathrive&Rezin&LW8@ 2ml, DF@ 1ml = 1150ppm with 6.0pH - pot was light Jan 28/20 - Day 51 - 2L: Rezin @ 2ml, CalMag & LW8 @ 1.5ml = 360ppm. Left a lower pH this feed. - Used heavier CalMag today as purple stems is increasing.....looking at using Epsom Salts. - striped some leaves today but hers a pretty narrow so left quite a few. - tip burn more prominent in spots today. Jan 29/20 - Day 52 - full feed today as listed above. 3L - 1125ppm with 6.2pH - runoff: 1000ppm with 6.1pH - continued leaf strip. Jan 30/20 - Day 53 - 2L feed: Epsom Salt @ 1tsp/G, Rezin & LW8 @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel A and B @ 1ml = 1000ppm 6.15pH - used Epsom Salt today. - They were very happy today in the morning. Swelling up. - They are not falling to sleep at night so moving to 19 hours light. First day. Jan 31/20 - Day 54 - Feed: 2L - Sensyzime @ 2ml/L - 30ppm 6.15pH - plain water feed today. Sensyzime to clean up the roots. - Feb 1/20 - Day 55 - dry out day. Nothing at all today. - give nice perfect feed tomorrow. Getting close to end of feedings make sure medium is correct. Feb 2/20 - Day 56 - pot nice and dry today. She was happy this morning and given a large feed. - 4L of full strength for the week. - run off 1400ppm and 6.4pH...... - Took a few more leaves. - See very little red hairs. Still mainly nice straight shinny white.....keep going girl.....no rush! - she is just a beauty actually. She has been suffering through a high pH and still manages to grow swell. Looking forward to bringing this girl to the end and watching her swell......fingers crossed😁 Hope your garden is making your smile fellow growers....cheers!

Constant LST on these girls. They are so leggy I'm worried that if I let up the canopies will get out of control. I feel like i'm doing a good job with it thought. The occasional super cropping is needed and I leaf tuck and even take leaves almost everyday. Doesn't seem to slow em' down. Lights are at about 75% now. Weather has calmed down so temperature in the tent is consistently below 80F. Happened just in time for mid-flower. Right before the weather changed I build an exhaust to vent everything outside so controlling the atmosphere is a lot easier and I think it shows. Switched to bloom nutes towards the end of this week. Miracle Berry Remix IMMEDIATELY perked up and stopping being droopy all the time. CDLC woke up and I'm really happy with her now. Phosphorous is really important once pre-flower begins. Getting impatient....gonna pop some Double Grapes for the Solo Cup competition. Lowering my PH to 5.5 - 5.7 to accomodate for any salt build up in the coir since they drink water so quickly. Their response was very good. CDLC loved the drop in PH the most I believe. I cut my veg nutrients (nitrogen) to half because they aren't in full flower but i'm giving them full doses of the Maxibloom and additives. I've learned that most chlorosis I am experiencing is a nutrient deficiency. PH and increasing PPM steadily is a MUST to be successful I believe. Potassium is what generally causes the "nutrient burn". You'll catch nitrogen toxicity before any chlorosis and phosphorous is really difficult to give your plant too much of. Especially in flower. I'm gettin' the hang of this.... If anyone could answer me this....Why would you use a feeding schedule when your plant is going to require different nutrients than any other plants? There are too many variable to use a feeding schedule correct? Really not much to see this week besides the plants bulking up. They are gorgeous...except for the CDLC...she's got some work to do. Day 49 - Watered with some whacked out PH water today...didn't catch it until it was too late. Mango Smile was dropping by the end of watering...hopefully I didn't stall anyone out. Check out the pheno difference between the two Miracle Berry Remixs.
