New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

23/10/2025 18:10 20.1°C 55%RH After a very cold and rainy week today temperature raised above average,air is pretty dry and plants smells more than ever This strange hot day made hunters come back after a chill period with no shots in the background,also this time was really near my spot(i thought he was finding us😰) Video #1 Coco fresh chilling in the Wind Video #2 Coco fresh 84 days from seed This plant is on the ripening phase of course,crystals are covering everything and the runtzy smell Is coming strong with a sub flavour almost identical to the Coco Milk The buds are pretty solid and sticky but not sticky as hell,because she's pushing so hard i will keep her until the 5/11 full moon,also not a single spot of mold at all Cannot say the same for her sister #3 Coco Milk 96 days from seed This one Is slowly dying and will be harvested soon Fall colours on every bud and some leaves looks very ugly but it's at this time that the smell is stronger and more defined Now i can clearly say that she has a GSC aroma in the background and i found out Is on her lineage so It makes sense Checked the trichomes too and they're pretty much white with almost no new ones,at the touch them buds are so greasy that after that everything Is sticking to my fingers At the end there's a bad brown looking bud i cut It means next time i will cut her,right now i'm deciding if totally or leave the bottom buds one more week Video #4 Flash video on the Coco Milk flowers focused on the last bud full of mold at the top 😭🤮 Luckily after a long check it's the only one in both plants Video #5 24/10/2025 Fresh trimmed nug from the last time now Is 27/10 and i just smoked a fat one of this deliciousness I can't believe i made this with my hands,It tastes Better than more indoor i smoked It has everything i want from a good weed,distinct aroma of dessert gassy and Milk which Is unbelievable,present in every toke with a big oil ring and a super white ash Smoked 1.5g and didn't cough a single time even if the puff Is rich and makes you blow a lot of smoke,It just comes down the throat like a caress Forgot to make a video of the joint but in the next days there will be a lot of weed to smoke and i will make one for sure Video #6 First sample of the Coco fresh,beautifully coloured but not ready yet Checked the trichomes to see if there Is some amber and there Is one amber trichome every 200/300😂 A lot of trasparent ones also ,i wonder if this one will be ready for real on the next full Moon Pic #1 Close up on the Coco fresh apical Bud Pic #2 Climate in the spot,absolutely not aligned with this fall period and time of the day,better for me😋 Pic #3 Coco fresh and Pic #4 Coco Milk Next two visits at the spot and will be the very end of this guerrilla grow season

Quick foreword: I hate how Growdiaries does Harvest and Smoke separately and then messes up all the pictures. Please bear with me, I tried to label them all. Wowsers, what a trip this contest grow turned out to be! I am so sorry to submit it one day before the deadline, life got in the way, but the good news is this lovely plant has had a chance to fully cure and she’s been helping me through big changes in my life. Dry weights will be in the Smoke report. I have only input the mother’s dry weight as the total end dry weight. This is because this is a competition diary and the rule is one plant. Consider the clones a successful experiment. They are only here to document how hardy this plant is and how easy she is to clone. Remember, one of the clones was the top of the plant I cut off when topping her before flipping. I usually can never get those to root, but this plant clones very easily! As always, the main plant was dried in a cardboard wardrobe box, modified to have a 5v USB fan extracting air at the bottom. This helps prevent mold but keeps moisture in for a slower dry, which leaves some more terpenes. Drying took around two weeks. Trimming was a pain. I love the smell of this plant, but her lowers are so leafy. If you go back to around the weeks where I flipped, you can clearly see I left too many lower nodes and as a result I had too much of a bush. The Micro DWC experiment ended up surprising me the most. Check out the smoke review for its weight and taste! some people also asked me how far I keep my lights, I don't measure the distance, sorry. I use Photone on iOS and push the ppfd of my plants up to 1000 during flower. The Soil clones and the main competition plant were planted in organic soil from a local garden center mixed with organic fertalizer tablets and worm castings, the clones were in 1L and 3 gallon pots and the main competition plant was planted in a 5 gallon growbag. once the plants ran out of food I fed Plagron's Alga line. the DWC clone used just Plagron Hydro A+B and extra PK 13/14 in flower, this is by far the cheapest and most effective way in my experience, it could be due to lack of skill in organics, but you can clearly see, my DWC plant is frostier than my soil ones, and they're the exact same phenotype. I'll probably be going back to hydroponics, I'm not saying organic isn't the way to go, but for me personally, my skillset and way of growing better fits the artificial nutrients, and as a result my DWC plants flourish. I feel more in control with DWC, I know exactly what's going on in my buckets, whereas with organics I'm often scratching my head in frustration.

Week 5 of veg. Swapped the plates for an alfalfa cover crop and put up a trellis. The London pound Cake and Purple Shah are moving right along. The blueberry muffins are looking good at day 14. Probiotic growing practices take a lot of stress out of growing. No need for ph up or down. The soil balances itself so you get to see a more natural expression of the plant than you’d get with synthetics. You will see plant health change as the soil increases its biodiversity. When the soil is populated with lab bacteria you can completely saturate the roots in still water without root rot or drooping it is almost impossible to over water unless your soil isn’t populated enough with the lactobacillus. Very easy fast pace growing.

Week 7 of Veg. 4x4 filled out very nicely. Added in a 2nd 500W light and spread the plants out a bit more to allow more airflow/light penetration. Now the fun begins :D

Never heard of weedseedsexpress before coming to grow diaries. Saw the contest as a great opportunity to try new seeds, and I was very surprised with the outcome. 100% germination rate, super strong plants, easy to grow, when it comes to pests and plagues, also performed well... even tho one was chopped because of becoming hermie, didn’t had any other issues with it. They like space to grow! And taking 2kg from 5 plants, to me, it’s an absolute record! I’ll definitely wanna try now more of @weedseedsexpress and recommend you guys to try them too. Weed has been drying now for 4 days, so, pretty soon I’ll be able to add the final weight!

day 15 (december 19) start of week 3 roots everywhere plant starts to take of now, the hydro is slightly bigger then the soil plant day 17: the hydro plant made a new set of leaves in just 2 days! day 19: i cut off the lowest leaves of both plants. i do this because on any autoflower these leaves produce a stem that wastes a lot of energy on small nugs. day 20: hydro plant got topped (3nodes) day 21: soil plant got topped (3nodes) same strategy with the topping, i do this early (i could pinch them off with my fingers) to reduce the time to recover. the plants bounce back like they didnt feel it and with the lowest leaf and small tiny stems cut off, these plants will produce 6 main stems with nice big and dense buds instead of a huge christmass tree with more leaves than bud.

I’ll start by saying I’m NOT using both bud blood and bud ignitor in one solution, I am using bud blood on the rear runt plant and bud ignitor on the front one to test the outcome of them individually to see the best results! I tied down and defoliated twice in the week and have switched to 12-12 yesterday so they’re transitioning now and should be in bloom by week 7! I made some extract them made some gummies successfully I might add and added the photos in the diary!
