Shame on me… habe den taupunkt am morgen deutlich unterschätzt. Täglich steigt die LF phasenweise bis auf 95%. Solar ist praktisch, Zelt darf aber nicht draußen stehen! Der grow hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, trotz einiger kleiner Fehler und Unachtsamkeiten meinerseits! Die Damen sind super und werden wieder in den Stock zurückkehren, konnte sie leider nicht voll bis zum Ende bringen ca 2 Wochen zu früh. Nächste mal weniger Pflanzen oder mehr entlauben und mehr umlauft dazu. Komme vom outdoor Growen und habe enorm viel Neues kennengelernt! Banana’s & painkiller XL sind noch im Spiel ohne jeglichen Schaden oder Betroffene stellen von Schimmel. 🐝

Week 11 Day 71 (15/03/2021): No time to take pics today ✌️ Day 72 (16/03/2021): Looking good but more and more leaves are drying up or turning yellow. But at this point there is definitely no point in stressing the girls by removing them. Although the colours definitely look nice! Day 73 (17/03/2021)💧: Today will be the last watering for the girls so they have a few days to take up the last bits of moisture before harvest. I can’t believe how fast this grow went but I have definitely learned a lot from it. Day 74 (18/03/2021): They look so nice and colourful, definitely an interesting bunch of girls :D Can’t wait for the harvest and cure Day 75 (19/03/2021): No time to take pics today ✌️ Day 76 (20/03/2021): No time to take pics today but harvest day tomorrow!!!! Day 77 (21/03/2021): HARVEST DAY! What a great journey it has been growing these girls. They were so resilient and only started showing symptoms of deficiency in the last few weeks. They are absolutely covered in trichomes and smell very pungent. I think they will be super hard hitters! And it still amazes me how different they all are. Echo is even completely purple! Can’t wait to trim and dry these girls and will definitely make some bubble hash from all the trichomes on the leaves too 🤤 Will follow up with a review soon! (after they’ve cured for a bit)

She is starting to stretch into flower here, and this is where my notes stopped on 7/14/2023 until 8/13/2023. Switched to 24hrs to try to get some more growth out of her. Absolutely explosive growth and I am in shock. Been training her down with those LST clips and gently bending branches/the main cola.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 5 Report Early Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Note on timing: This is labeled as Week 5 in GrowDiaries / Grow Iris, even though in real growth rhythm we are closer to Week 3 of true vegetative development. This offset comes from starting the diary early and using photo-heavy germination documentation. We’ll continue to clarify this each week for transparency and consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Training Reveals Character This week confirmed something important: training doesn’t slow a plant — it reveals it. Last week, we began Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant using clamps to gently guide the main stem close to horizontal. At the time, she was the smallest plant of the Nectar Drip group. This week, her response has been nothing short of beautiful. Despite being smaller, she reacted with: • accelerated side branching • clear apical redistribution • strong node activation • healthy, vibrant green growth She is opening up, spreading out, and showing structure — not by force, but by invitation. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Precision The trained plant is now the focus of this week’s report, because she’s telling us a story worth listening to. What’s being done: • Main stem gently bent and held near-parallel to the soil • Leaves progressively opened and repositioned • Lower growth sites intentionally exposed to light • No snapping, no crushing, no stress points This is classic Low Stress Training (LST) — the goal is not control, but redirection. What we’re seeing: • Lower branches actively pushing upward • Tighter internodal spacing • A wider, flatter structure • Balanced energy distribution She’s currently entering her fourth node, and already the lower growth is responding like it knows it’s been invited to participate. You can clearly see this in the macro photos — the symmetry, the confidence, the way each branch is waking up. ⸻ 📸 Macro Session – When the Plant Earns the Spotlight This week, the trained plant earned her moment. She was taken into the studio for a dedicated macro session — and she deserved it. The photos reveal: • clean, healthy tissue • vibrant green coloration • active growth points • no signs of stress or hesitation Up close, it becomes obvious: this plant isn’t struggling — she’s thinking. ⸻ 🌿 The Other Plants – Natural Expression The remaining Nectar Drip plants are not being trained as intensively. For them: • leaves are gently tucked • some bending is done to guide light penetration • no structural manipulation beyond basic canopy management They are: • taller • more vertical • opening naturally • branching in their own rhythm They look fantastic — healthy, lush, and confident — but their expression is clearly different from the trained plant. Same genetics, same room, same feed… different guidance. This contrast is exactly why this approach is valuable. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions (Unchanged) Conditions remain consistent with last week: • Relative Humidity: ~65% • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow continues to increase slightly, encouraging movement and stem strength without stress. ⸻ 💡 Light – Growing Into Intensity PPFD continues its gradual rise: • Previously: ~500 PPFD • Current range: 500 → 600 PPFD, depending on plant height Once again, the plants are growing toward the light, not being forced into it. This progressive increase matches structure and development perfectly. ⸻ Nutrition – Stay the Course Nutrition remains unchanged, because the plants are clearly happy. • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar) Leaf color, posture, and response all confirm that stability is working. This is a deliberate mix of mineral precision and biological support, based on experience and personal philosophy. As always: everything shared here reflects my own experience, opinions, lessons, and mistakes, offered openly to the community. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • continued lateral development on the trained plant • more defined structure • increased canopy complexity • visible divergence between trained vs untrained plants Do Not Expect: • instant size catch-up • explosive vertical growth • stress reactions The trained plant may not become the tallest — but she may become the most interesting. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Much love and respect to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist and collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow And thank you to everyone following this journey — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. ⸻ 🌟 Week 5 Summary • Training is working • Genetics are solid • Differences are emerging • Structure is forming • The story is getting richer She was the smallest. She’s responding the strongest. And she’s just getting started.

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.

Battered & bruised. Give her another week in 14 then next week its 10/14. Nature uses: Mass Flow (Barometric Pumping): This refers to the bulk movement of air through soil pores caused by pressure differences. Fluctuations in barometric pressure (high and low pressure fronts) and wind speed over the surface create these pressure differentials, which can force air in or out of the soil. This is how soil "breathes" so to speak. Barometric pressure fluctuations can cause day-to-day variations in gas emissions by a factor of 20 to 35 times, a dynamic response that highlights its importance in the overall carbon cycle. Indoor growers use: Negative pressure can replicate the effects of barometric pumping by creating pressure differentials that induce air to flow in and CO2 and nitrogen out in a controlled manner. Carbon dioxide is released by microorganisms when they eat sugars, when there is no mass flow in a cycle/system where microorganisms are releasing CO2 from eating sugars, the CO2 accumulates in the medium, leading to several significant effects: cut a long story short, the lack of mass flow prevents essential gas exchange, causing the waste product (CO2) to become a self-inhibiting factor that limits the microbial activity and can eventually kill the organisms. Increasing the amount of carbon in a soil increases its moisture retention, an often-overlooked detail that often ends up around the 4th week of flower, people wondering why hypoxia occurred. Around 40% of all the carbon captured is exuded into the soil to feed microorganisms and converted to chemical energy; CO2 accumulates. This is why it's required if you want to reuse the soil. CO2 is a very stable molecule, sitting at a "bottom of the potential energy well". A significant amount of energy is required to break its strong bonds and convert it into a higher-energy, more useful molecule (like a fuel). Converting CO2 back into fuels requires the same amount of energy released during its original combustion (due to the conservation of energy), which often makes the process energy-intensive and expensive. Therein lies the key, 90% of the air that enters the tent, enters through the rootzones, up and through the underside of plant canopy, air comes in but all the CO2 accumulates in bottom half of the tent due to its density. The exhaust linked to rh keeps a constant negative pressure that links to the rate of cellular respiration performed at night. Come morning the compensation point is upwards of 1500pmm by morning. 300 dollar grow light on its 15th grow. The real star of the show is the 14000btu Portable ac unit.

seems like she is having a nitrogen problem... unsure if its genetics or what. will just be giving water to see what happens and hope for the best. pruned to expose bud sites a bit more. crystals now forming. the crystals smell almost sweet. day 51 7/3. gave a ph water of 6.2 and with some cal mag. think ph too high. maybe light too high too. moved up slightly to get twmp to 26.5. going by cutting in water im hoping i am right as far as ph. #science. * dayb51 top bud seems to be moving again. ph worked? DIARY adjusted to proper weeks now..

Showing pistils like crazy only 7 days in. Will be switching her into the main flower tent and release her from all LST tie downs. I will defoliate if there becomes too much fan leaves covering lower potential.

Ok guys was down with a bug, hope to be getting over it barring some weird turn. 4/5 Pics of all Ok this is what we have to work with on this grow, one looks perfect, another a bit light, one super small from a small seed, and the twin. Ahh not what we had in mind but its enough 😎 Going to have reevaluate the seed situation as using more than had planned, looks like it will take a planned 6 seeds to make a good grow. Please no more seed give-aways it really effects the quality. 4/6 Excuse my aggravation, lot going on but still... Ok have two possible failures here. Mary may be genetically faulty as well as it remains small as crap. Doubt if she makes much of anything but am more than willing to be wrong as hell but dont think so. Sally... well Sally has split personality, think we will snip the small twin it has no growth tip. Really needed four good plants dang it. Increased nuets slightly 4/7 Two feedings with Recharge just to try and get some life into these girls. Not going on the list just a try to kick start some enzymes. Mary is worrisome and I may turn Sally over to my wife she is pretty good with these odd birds. We decided to let the small thing stay dont want to cause any rotting in the medium. Re-eval later Athena and Baba doing ok Seeing some results from the Recharge Vid 4/8 Good results on the Recharge with Athena, Baba, and Sally but Mary continues to be a project. She will be getting only H2O2 and water every other feeding (once a day) to try and get her going. Its the end of my tool kit so hope it works. We will be popping another seed on 4/20, the Fast Buds 20-1 CBD under my wife's diary, HisHope. She will be doing that one entirely by her hand and she has learned a LOT. So looking to be able to sit back and watch her for a while 😎 4/9 The two large girls are doing fine. Baba is Beautiful I have seen these light leaves, Sally and Athena, on LSD-25 in the past. As long as they are growing well there is no issue. Not a good sign nor is it really bad either Mary is on her own feed, propping her up with H2O2 and begun light feeding again at every irrigation. No idea what to do next, did not respond to recharge, and kangaroots did not seem to help so I am down to H2O2 4/10 Sally's Twin has a growth tip so we will have to expect to deal with it as things grow. Mary is responding so the little project may make it after all. Three bigger girls looking good! 4/11 The bigger girls are into their first growth spurt so everyone got a big dose of FishSh!T to get this party started. Athena and Baba go back and forth as largest, think Athena may take that race we will see. I am going to have to drop Mary from the grow, she is alive and improving but lets be honest... little if any production and focus needs to stay on the healthy plants. Letting my wife see what she can do, leave her as a project.

Grow Report: Zuppler's Sea of Green - Florida Gang Style Strain: Donutz (Humboldt Seed Company) Grow Tent: 120x60cm Light Setup: 320W LED Medium: Floragard Growmix soil Containers: 3.7L pots Water: Reverse osmosis (RO) water Nutrients: Greenhouse Feeding (planned for later stages) Week 1 - Poppin' Off The journey begins with a 10/10 germination rate — strong genetics showing their strength right off the bat! All seeds have sprouted and broken through the soil surface, ready to ride the wave of growth under a 320W LED, casting down consistent rays in the 120x60cm tent. The initial focus? Establishing solid roots and healthy shoots in Floragard Growmix soil. No nutrients added yet; the young Donutz ladies are riding on the starter mix's nutritional buffer. RO water keeps everything clean and pH balanced, ensuring no unwanted minerals creep in this early. Observations: All seedlings looking vibrant, green, and strong. Uniform growth across the board — perfect for the Sea of Green (SOG) method. Temps stable, ensuring no stress. Light is dimmed a touch for the youngins, keeping nodes tight but not overwhelming. Next Steps: The plan is simple — maintain stable conditions, keep an eye on humidity, and prepare to introduce Greenhouse Feeding once the seedlings are ready to crank up the nutrient game. For now, it's all about building those roots and establishing a foundation for the dense, resinous canopy that’s to come.

เมื่อมีกิ่งแตกออกเพิ่มมากขึ้น ลำต้นเริ่มมีความสูงเพิ่มขึ้น เมื่อเร็วๆนี้ฉันได้พบกับผู้มีความรู้ในด้านพันธุ์กัญชาได่บอกกับฉันว่า ต้นกัญชาของฉัน มีชื่อสายพันธุ์ว่า ฝอยทอง When more branches break out The trunk began to increase in height. I recently met a cannabis expert who told me that my cannabis plant The species name is Foi Thong.

This girl is doing well bushing up nicely after fimming gone a bit pale so hit her with the Shogun nutes now she's settled put a video up of feed one of ec and one of pH when using Shogun i don't do it that often as it's always roughly the same just when n flower I'll switch the calmag and silicon for a pk and a boost max it goes is 2.2 ec her side branches are coming on well hoping the feed sort her colour out other than hat she seems happy not slow drinking well nice chunky stems will get some better pics when possible thanks for reading happy growing guys

03.08.21 Moin Growmies hab mir in der letzten Woche Gedanken gemacht zu meinem Vorhaben mit den Tomatenringen und mir ist aufgefallen das die Ladys nicht Grad gleichmäßig wachsen ,das liegt sicherlich daran das ich Depp wieder schlauer sein wollte und ein paar Seitenäste dran gelassen habe sprich beim ersten topping hätte ich alles entfernen sollen bis auf die 2 Triebe von der 3. Nodie und ich hab die 2 nodie mit stehen lassen weil ich dachte ich bin schlauer 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬ich könnte mich selber schlagen für die Dummheit naja Ergebniss des ganzen ist ungleichmäßiges Wachstum somit kann ich die Sache mit den Tomaten Ringen vergessen.......... Hab jetzt aber mein System noch einmal überarbeitet andere Topferhöhung ( 2x alte Bilderrahmen aus Holz auf Paletten Balken geschraubt und mit Hühner Draht bespannt das ganze auf Steine gestellt damit ich ne Wanne darunter stellen kann für abtropfwasser) den Rahmen vom scrogg netzt wieder raus gesammelt und neu bespannt ( Rahmen 90x90 cm aus nem alten Pavillon Gestell zurecht gesägt und mit Zaun bespannt die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Rauten beträgt 6 cm sollte ausreichend Platz für die Triebe sein) habe das ganze gestern auf einer Höhe von 16 cm über dem Topfrand eingebaut mit Kabelbindern an den Zeltstangen befestigt somit hängt es an seiner Position fest und kann nicht von den Pflanzen hoch gedrückt werden wenn sie in die Blüte geht. Also is nun doch wieder ein sqrogg draus geworden aber den Ladys geht es insgesamt gut sie wachsen und gedeihen und wirken insgesamt gesund in den nächsten Wochen werde ich nun die Ladys in das netzt weben und Mal sehen was sie von scrogging Alla Milchschnitte halten. Ach ja die purps aus dem Garten sind anscheinend direkt nach dem umtopfen in den Stretch zur Blüte gegangen war ein bisschen spät dran fürs raus setzten aber lässt sich jetzt nicht ändern Mal sehen was draus wird,vll ja ein Gummibärchen Baum 😏😉 hab den outdoor Ladys gestern nen kleinen Regenschutz gebaut, is nicht der schönste aber er sollte seinen Zweck erfüllen damit der Topf Mal abtrocknen kann das Wetter ist seit fast 14 Tagen hart wechselhaft und der Topf noch nicht 1x richtig trocken gewesen das war's eigendlich was bis heut passiert ist cu Growmies und euch noch viel Erfolg........

Une des plantes va mal, je pense que le petit pot ne lui convient pas. J'ai observé au microscope les trichomes, ils commencent à devenir bien laiteux avec quelques ambrés, je vais la récolter d'ici 2 semaines avant que sont état s'empire. Les deux autres vont très bien, l'une d'entre elle commence à sentir fort, et prendre une couleur de plus en plus violette. Je reste attentif car je vois des signes de carences en calcium, magnésium et en potassium. La dernière entre dans sa troisième semaine de floraison, elle se porte bien !
