End of Week 7 The light intensity has been set at 60% since the beginning of the week. Iโ€™ve been watering daily, using Fade nutrients at 2.2 EC during the first few days, gradually increasing to 3.0 EC as the week progressed. On the last day, I discovered small spots of Botrytis on two buds: one from FullGas #2 and one from FullGas #3. After thoroughly inspecting the tent, I didnโ€™t find any additional signs of the issue, but Iโ€™ll remain vigilant. To help prevent further outbreaks, I increased air circulation inside the tent. All the flowers continue to develop beautifully, with a noticeable increase in density and resin production despite the small setback.

Week 10 brought on a wave of maturity. The plant is clearly in her final chapter - the fade has intensified, but it's graceful and expected. Buds are swelling, the scent profile has deepened, and structure remains solid and symmetrical. ๐Ÿ’› Yellowing & Defoliation I removed a fair number of yellowing fan leaves this week. Most came off effortlessly, the stems giving way with a gentle pull. The yellowing has crept upward slightly, but no signs of distress or runaway deficiency. It's senescence - and it feels like the right time. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding & Watering This week I broke my usual rhythm and fed twice in a row, both times at full strength, which the plant handled perfectly. The yellowing seemed to halt afterward - no fresh tip burn, no clawing. Nutrient mix (per 2L water): 3.5 mL Micro 3.5 mL Grow 5.0 mL Bloom (PHโ€™d to 6.43 using hard tap water) On Day 70, she was visibly dry, so I gave her 2L of plain pH 6.43 water. She drank it eagerly - dryback is getting quicker as the buds pull harder now. ๐ŸŒฟ Aroma & Structure She's putting out a layered, sweet-and-spicy scent - cookie dough, citrus peel, pine, and a warm touch of cardamom. Colas are dense, resin-heavy, and impressively uniform. The trellis net came off this week to open up the canopy and prepare for harvest. ๐Ÿง  Harvest Considerations According to Zamnesiaโ€™s specs, she could be ready around now - but visually and chemically, sheโ€™s still not there. I'm aiming for a harvest on Day 80 (July 24), just before I leave. Someone else will handle the chop shortly after I leave for vacation. The trichomes were still mostly clear at the end of this week, with no amber visible yet - but weโ€™re watching closely. Iโ€™m not chasing heavy amber, just looking for that sweet spot of peak cloudy with a touch of amber for depth.

Final Report: Grow: The plant has grown very beautiful and healty without pests and diseases. She stretched a lot when started to bloom and for this reason the internode distance increase unlike the vegetative phase. This happened becasue I increased the height of the lights when the other plants in the grow box started reaching them. In this grow i only defoliated only when then fan leaves turn yellow. In the flowering stage the buds grew a lot every day and forming a big mass. I used LST tecnique on low brenches to allow them to get more ligth. I applied Biobizz fertilizers without using the offical schedule because I gave my plant an adequate quantity for its needs and growth (I have given a little more nutrients for flowering than indicated). I contiued to use root juice most of the vegetative stage for let grow huge root system so when she started too bloom she had enough roots to get the nutrients fast. Equipment and grow box: The enviorment of grow box has been optimized every stage with the right temperature, umidity and air flow. Vegetative temp/umidity --> 23-29 ยฐC/45-55% Flowering temp/umidity --> 20-26 ยฐC/40-50% The air flow was created by two pc fans and one big fan. Harvest: I harvested a beautiful big and dense buds and i increase al lot my haverst for plant compared to my old diaries and I got fewer soft flowers. I washed my crop before drying process and this time i did a dry trimmg. After washing, i let them dried in a room, with 20 ยฐC and less then 50% of umidity, for seven deys. I got better with the result of dry trimmig (I alweys did a wet trimmg) and i wasted less time. After the curing proccess i stored all in a glass jar. Time and patience reward me this time.๐Ÿ˜Š I'm very happy with this grow, I improve my skills but the next diary I will do better. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘

Day 29, Too many bugs! Mini grasshoppers and one of those leaf tunneling bugs, as well as a respiratory bug within myself! Iโ€™ve taken care of the bug inside myself, now time for the Diatomaceous Earth!!!! And to get that bug out of that leaf! Still feeding a little cal mag. I think itโ€™s necessary. Day 31 - Day 1F Going to ramp it up from 1mg to 3mg per Gal of CalMag OAC. I will top dress something special, maybe the mother earth acid mix, or maybe I will do a seabird guano with insect frass and top it off with an Epsom Salt solution feed. Iโ€™m trying to practice using less of a branded store-bought approach. But to source everything is so much easier out of a store bought package, so for now, I might just do a small amount of seabird and insect frass, maybe just a super small sprinkle on the soil surface, not in water. Day 5 of flower: and WTF is up with this foul weather. Only 46 degrees Fahrenheit! (7.8 C) Cloudy with 15-20 mph winds. Gonna drop to 29 tonightโ€ฆ this is ridiculous. I donโ€™t have access to the tent at this time, so itโ€™s cold weather today. I could bring her inside where itโ€™s warmer, and there is no light! Or those house lights put out only a few candelas worth, not exactly light for a plant. Do she would just stretch and go hungry inside. Iโ€™m leaving her outside. Bringing her in over night obviously! But not much growth is expected. Just gotta roll with the punches. I thought we were flowering this week, but barely small preflower development. So this is switched back to a Veg week.

Hello everyone! The week went well, and our girl has grown even more, so she'll soon reach the lamp. We're feeding her with 1600-2200 ppm, and she's happy with it. I'll try to take photos outside the box next week. Thanks to everyone for following my diary, leaving comments, and hitting the likes.

Chopped the plant on day 78, mostly milky trichomes, a few amber and clear. I couldn't get the root trouble under control and this ruined the whole grow, did a root wash and trim twice but it did not help. With this little roots it is a wonder the plant grew to what it was. Can't blame this on Sweet Seeds, was a problem on my end, just want to make this clear. Will try again in the future.

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy ๐Ÿ’š Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week๐Ÿ˜ De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

The little ones are developing well, unfortunately there are a few minor nutrient problems in the direction of Calmag with the Morello Cherries and also slight signs of this with the TerpyZ Punch. I counteracted this with a foliar spray. The pH value of the hydrosystem has unfortunately dropped a little to 5.5, which I have equalised with ph up from Plagron. The plants are currently getting light between 800-900 ppfd and as soon as the stretch starts, l'll increase this to 1000 ppfd. Both ladies are slowly starting to smell.

Another week and the tent is bursting with a very sweet candy citrus aroma, then bam your hand hit a nug and it's like the cotton candy mod stepped in. I've stop using silica now since I'm two week out from harvesting.

Ok completely my bad with this. Haven't been feeling great the past couple weeks and have really neglected these babies, among other things. But, I had a go in there yesterday and hopefully things shouldn't keep getting so bad. The buds are fattening up on both a lot, and considering what they've been through I think they look pretty damn good. A lot of burned tops, any suggestions what o should do with them? Seems a bit harsh to smoke. I've managed to wiggle them down a bit lower, hopefully he burning shouldn't get worse, but we'll see. Smells fantastic anyway. Definitely want to run these again a. It further from the light ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing amazing! TickTockCroc is back for another grow! โ”(๏ผพ0๏ผพ)โ”› Last time, I did a Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies grow in my closet using a small pot. Yielded 22g dry weight (lol). Didn't do any ph monitoring or temperature control until later. This time... I'm determined to do it better! For this grow I will be doing: 2 x Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies 2 x Fastbuds Gelato I AM DOING A SEPARATE DIARY FOR EACH STRAIN. THIS DIARY WILL ONLY BE UPDATING PROGRESS WITH THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! For this set-up, I decided to get a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m tent and a carbon filter with fan. Also using fabric pots instead of plastic. For lights I'm using my old 600W Viper LED. I love this set-up!! This diary is starting on Day 7 from seed for the GSC. They just got moved to the tent yesterday (had to wait for it in the mail, got excited and germinated seeds too soon lol) and so they were in the closet until then. There has been no fan to circulate air or remove heat, and I think that's why the first set of leaves are curling a bit. Annoyingly, I have to wait for distilled water to arrive in the mail so I can calibrate my PH meter, so have not been able to ph adjust water. It has had one watering of evian water so far, so hopefully thats OK. I am using BioBizz Light Mix soil and using BioBizz nutrients. I will update which specific nutrients when I can. Take care for now, folks! *EDIT* DAY 10 UPDATE: I've uploaded a day 10 video update! So today is day 10 and I fed them their first feed yesterday. I've added the nutrient details to the diary. They seem to be LOVING it. I also noticed some pale spots on some leaves - perhaps exterior nute burn as I splashed the leaves by accident. We'll see.
