8/30/17 It's been an emotional week, sorry for the lack of updates. I finally had to admit that 4 of my plants, while fully pre-flowered, did not auto-flower under 20 hour lights. The decision was made to remove them from the tent. It was a tough decision made easier as Auto Speed Bud #3 reached over 130cm and was touching the light, blocking light from plants that WERE flowering. There was really no choice at that point. So I spent 2 days trying to find them a new home. Yes, I had grown attached. Yes I found them a home. They have been transferred to soil and will be going under 12/12. I don't really know the guy well who ended up with them (a friend of a friend), so I don't know if I will ever know how they did, but they were part of my first grow so I am glad they got adopted rather than me having to kill them. In other news, I have had to start adding stakes to keep buds from falling, notably on the Kush (my superstar and only LST plant) and the Mango Cream, which seems to have hollow stems. I was concerned about this until I read up on it and hollow stems are a sign of no lockout or deficiencies and good nute uptake. They certainly look beautiful, so this is good news. However, so far 3 stakes have been added to the Mango Cream, so I hope I didn't damage the roots too much. I am looking into an alternative to stakes for the next go round. I didn't expect buds that heavy, but I ain't complaining! Slight Changes in nutes: Current feeding FloraMicro 4ml gal FloraGrow 1.25ml gal FloraBloom 8ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 2.5ml Gal Ful-Potential 2.5ml gal Liquid Koolbloom 2ml gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal ArmorSI 1.5ml gal CaliMagic 3.75ml gal (still running it high, but after seeing water report, I might have been wrong to use GH hardwater micro) FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal Flora blend is out this week, Grow is out next week. Switching from Ful-Potential to Ful-Power when I soon finish the bottle. Nothing wrong with Ful-Potential, I just keep hearing about how good the chelation in the Ful-Power is, so I am game to try it since I need more Humics/Fulvics anyway. It is worth noting that I am now running ALL the GH nutes at full strength with no hint of burn. I am tempted to push them, but being my first grow, I don't think I will. However, this is a solid foundation for me to tinker with formulas for my next grows. The medium and my setup has performed wonderfully so far, and if the harvest is a success, I will certainly be more confident to experiment further. I may, however, use full strength Ful-Power which recommends reducing nutes by 10-20%. Instead of increasing nutes, full strength Ful-Power may give me the boost I am looking for while minimizing burn potential. I love that coco helps buffer and flush things, by nature, that the plant isn't using. I am so stoked that I ended up choosing coco for my 1st grow, but that is another topic for another day! I have edited the diary to reflect the loss of 2 strains and the title to reflect the current reality. Perhaps I should have left them unchanged. I am not sure. However, the diary title and strains are correct at this point. So there it is. I am now attempting to feed all 6 plants every day. There will be some days that I miss, but so far my 10 gallon bucket produces enough runoff on 6 plants if watered daily and most people who end up adopting this late stage strategy often would double/quadruple it if they could spare the time and/or afford the nutes. Once a day seems a good enough way to take advantage of the benefits of the medium without diminishing returns. I wish that I had the type of life that allowed me to set up proper control groups to test this stufff. I have also permanently started emptying the dehumidifier into the nute bucket as it has a PH of around 5.3 (my tap is around 8) and a ppm of around 8 (my ppm varies from 150-200 since i have been monitoring), 1-2 gallons a day to help out. I am loving it as much as PH down with white vinegar. I also obtained a water quality report and found that although my agency adds chlorine, they do not add chloramine so airing the bucket out for 14-16 hours after filling from the tap and cutting it with dehumidifier water should remove any threat to the beneficial living things that I have added to my girlies, so this is good news. 8/31/17 Man, I wish I used stakes from day 1. Every additional stake I put in makes me cringe and more stakes are becoming necessary. I am just lucky they are so healthy.

They have shown sex and seem to have grown multiple pistils from calyxes so I'm hoping there going to continue to flower. 🙏 Shot up in the last week and two smaller ones have now become two tallest. Trying to convert a branch on the tallest fastest growing middle plant using a home made STS solution!

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Ich hab keine Ahnung was es wiegt , da ich keine Zugwage hatte. Warten wir also ab was es an trockengewicht wirklich wird. Aber da ist viel Drann , bei 116cm größe ist selbst der kleinste Bud noch groß :)) Es sind nach 5 Tagen Trocknung bei 22°C und 55%rH genau 204g

This genetics requires a lot of heavy feeding and heavy light and a lot of space because they gonna grow like beasts. In about 79 days from seed they were ready . One of the plants had small buds but full of trichomes, rich in terpenes with a nice smooth Latte creamy smell, the other had fluffier buds with more hazey smell

Well week 3 went by pretty good! I flushed my soil twice because i was starting to see what looked like nutrient burn and since flushing twice it seems to have amended the soil and issue. I waited until the soil was fairly dry and watered yesterday with a new set of nutrients and will be keeping it on a schedule of feeding nutes once a week until i know it can handle more and im not burning it again. I bought stuff to help me LST the branches and during doing so bent one too far and it started tearing off. I put some support under it to hold it in place and now im just hoping and praying it heals up and can resume growth instead of me having to get rid of the whole thing. We will see but im excited either way!

Day 1: yay! All of my girls popped up a and they seems to be fine! I’m just going to pick 4 of them so I’m going to be kinda sad that I have to throw some of them away. But for the best result you have to do it. I give them a low ph at the start and when they grow bigger I go up in ph! Always start with 5.5-5.7 then end up with 5.9-6.2 when they are in flower. I used this GREAT WHITE POWDER. It smells like something from hell really! I need a face mask when I open the jar🤢 but it does well for my rooting. They came out their seed faster then befor and came up from the dirt in just some hours after I potted them! I really recommend it, you can use it with any nutritions you want. My water temp was a little to high today but I don’t really care tbh everything within 18-25 Celsius are okay Sannies seed shop is the best! Day 2: I always have issues with my seedling, they look healthy but what is this leaning thing going on… I have problem with the lights… they are trying to hide from the stong light, I gave them 100% in the beginning just to heat the tent up and I forgot it so had to turn it down to 25% and the lamp is like 40cm from the canopy.😂 Day 4: a morning picture and video on the grow and a picture and video in the evening! They grow so fast🌟 Day 7: last day of this week and everything has been just fine but some of the girls has grown to fast so they got a little heavy so I had to help them to stand hahaha! I’m starting to see the roots and they are very thick and hairy looks very healthy to me! I’m just going to pick 4 of these girls to grow! I just got myself a new tent I’m waiting for in the mail! It’s a 120x60x180 and a SP3000 marshydro both of them! I’m very happy with the brand! The lights are amazing! It will be a photoperiod bloom tent and this tent 70x70x160 will be my veg tent! Just an idea nothing is written in stone yet https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/ If you ever want to buy the same equipment as I have here is the seller! I really recommend Mars-hydro! Cheap and very good quality!🌟

So it now just about the 3 different Runtz x Layer Cake phenos, yes right 3 of them: 1. The Runtz pheno 2. The GMO dark pyramid pheno 3. The Layer/ Wedding Cake pheno in lilac I need to start to harvest the top crowns now, because they are ready now. I estimate around 7-10 days until they are fully harvested. Also I left 1 mainline from both Bruce Banners for a maximum of narcotic pressure from the hulks, just to clarify the whole spectrum of a plant, from early to late harvest. I think that makes sense? I use my oCoQ- Doktrine with maximum of stress without lockouts, always at the edge with normal CO2 levels (400ppm)😅😅

Skywalker OG — Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy Week 7 From Seed | Week 2 Flower Structural Defoliation + Clip Release + Stretch Acceleration ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (Current Reality) • 🌡️ Day Temp: ~28°C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.9 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: 40–80 cm • 💡 LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28°C in flower. In practice? Understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (Why 28°C Is Not “Too Hot”) Under LED: • No infrared radiation blast like HPS • Leaf surface temp typically 2–4°C cooler than room So: • Room ≈ 28°C • Leaf ≈ 24–26°C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD sits beautifully in early–mid flower range. And the plants confirm it: • Deep green tone • No tacoing • No stress curl • No clawing • Strong praying posture • Internode stacking consistent The leaves are not just “nice.” They are metabolically comfortable. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation — What Actually Happened I didn’t trim for aesthetics. I reset the architecture. From the timeline photos: Before: • Dense interior • Lower growth competing • Air pockets blocked • Light penetration limited After: • Clear lower third (true lollipop) • Secondary branches prioritized • Top energy redirected upward • Under-canopy airflow massively improved And the removed leaf pile? That tells the story of biomass management, not plant stress. Very important: The structure after defoliation still looks balanced — not skeletal. That means you removed intelligently, not emotionally. ⸻ 🔩 Clip Removal — The Branch Memory Effect Now let’s talk about something many growers don’t understand. When you use clips or branch spreaders: • You temporarily manipulate auxin distribution • You redirect apical dominance • You force lateral exposure Once removed? The plant reacts in 24–72 hours. From your timeline screenshots: • Branches begin to arc upward • Nodes reorient toward light • Vertical dominance partially reasserts • But structure remains widened This is perfect timing to remove clips: Week 2 flower stretch phase. Why? Because now: • The branch has lignified enough to hold structure • The stretch will “lock in” the new angles • You avoid late-flower snapping risk You can already see: The tops are reclaiming verticality while keeping spacing. That is textbook. ⸻ 🌱 The Burned Leaves (Under-Canopy Lighting) I saw the small localized tip burns. Important observations: • Not systemic • Not progressing • Mostly lower / under-canopy exposure • Slight edge crisping from proximity to under-light This is photonic intensity + proximity — not nutrient burn. Your EC at 2.9 is high compared to your other girls, yes. But here’s the key: They are eating it. Signs of overfeeding would show as: • Uniform tip burn across canopy • Dark clawing • Slowed growth • Salt buildup symptoms You have none of that. Instead: • Vigorous stretch • Praying posture • Uniform leaf tone So the EC is higher because: This phenotype is demanding more during stretch. That’s not excess. That’s appetite. ⸻ 🚀 The Stretch Now let’s talk genetics. Week 2 flower is just the beginning for these. Expect: • 1.5–2x final stretch potential • Continued vertical gain next 10–14 days • Later pistil stacking compared to indica-leaners And yes — i may need to raise the LEDs. At 60 cm now? They are not done. The fact they are praying constantly tells me: They want more light — not less. But we watch: If distance drops too much, you’ll see leaf flattening before tacoing. That’s your early warning. ⸻ Two Plants — Two Personalities You can clearly see: One Plant : • More structured • Tighter node stacking • Slightly thicker leaf The other Plant : • More vertical aggression • Strong apical reclaim after clip removal • Haze-like frame expansion This is why running multiple phenos is beautiful. We’re not just growing. We’re studying expression. ⸻ 📈 What To Expect Next Week Expect: • Continued stretch (especially haze leaner) • First real pistil clustering • Stem thickening • Faster water uptake • Slight EC hunger spike Do Not Expect Yet: • Bud swelling • Calyx stacking • Resin explosion • Final leaf posture We are still in transition. This is architectural week — not production week. ⸻ ❤️ And The Leaves… You’re right. They are beautiful. Wide, defined serrations. Strong petiole angles. No mottling. No interveinal chlorosis. No stress striping. They look metabolically confident. That’s the best compliment a plant can receive. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude Section To everyone: • The OGs who’ve been here since seed • The new growers learning through mistakes and wins • The silent readers • The loud critics • The Grow Diaries community • The platform hosting the journey • The sponsors supporting education • And every single person watching this experiment unfold This is not just a grow. It’s documentation. It’s learning. It’s transparency.

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.

In solo 24h ha sviluppato la radice e dopo altre 24 è uscita fuori dal terreno. Ha un colore un po' chiaro. Si sarà stressata con il trapianto in terra.

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound 📹 03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session 📹 12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video 📹 17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 → 60 ml 19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients. 20.10.25 VW26(?)
