i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Welcome to my Sour Strawberry scrog diary, sponsored by SPIDER-FARMER & Barneysfarm. Days 22-35 weeks 3-4 off veg Veg Days 12&13 25&26(seedling stage was done in germination week) Both plants had difficult with a bad PH imbalance that hit my plants across the board. All suffered from 2x Terpinator & Pure Zym PH 4.5 feeds. Lessons learnt you get no 2nd chances growing co2. A light def can be a serious looking one a few hrs later even though fix was applied. Growth can't keep up with uptake. So Foliar sprays I've been using a lot in these grows. It helps with the fixes much quicker. I've started training the plant and moving things to spread it out. I reckon if I flipped her after the stretch I'd fill 60-70% of the net. So, it needs a few more weeks in veg. I have done a lot of fresh toppings. So, they'll need a few weeks of growth and training and fixing to the net. All nodes are in the strip process so it'll help fatten up the stems as if there's too much growth below the main tops and if left late (stripping them late) you'll end up with weak stems, so the stripping needs to be done, and then you need to train your nodes/shoots you want to focus on growing your colas. Any input is welcome this is my 1st scrog. I used 2 seeds 2 different phenos, 1 is a lot taller, big mistake. Itll take time, lots of training and she's gonna look awful for the next few weeks but, their will be a method to the madness. I'll flip when I see 60/70% of the net filled either by attached to the net or trained so that'll it sit under where the stretch will go when flipped. Giving me 85-95% of coverage. Again, this is my 1st scrog so any input is welcome.. SCROG / DEFOLIATION / LST / NODE STRIPPING Only started in the 2 week of this update. Through a pro scrog frame over her. As this will be the easiest way to deal with it in my 1m2 tent. It will take up a lot of space for just 2 plants. But, I'm planning on doing a long one, or at least until I get it right so it'll be a proper scrog with an even canopy. I stripped the nodes to premote them to grow some mass i did semi removal of shoots that are deep into the canopy. Didn't wanna do to much stress that and she'll still need a lot of that growth to get her to grow out. Next wk I'll readjust and start pulling her in areas needed. 1 pheno is much shorter. So, I'm thinking I'll just train her so she at least gets right underneath the net, and then when i flip it'll help reach the net. But, them areas will need lots of growth, and I'll have to weave the bugger one abs pull her nodes down and maybe lollipop her a lil more so there'll be an even canopy. Thanks to my sponsors Bella from Spider-Farmer for the 2023 upgraded SE5000 and to the rep from Barneysfarm for their 22/23 pick of 5 off their new Releases. Much appreciation to all who stop by to view. And leave their thoughts feedback or whatever. Either way, thanks for stopping by. And look forward to seen your diaries.

easy strain, havent tried it yet, watch out for humidity, Great experience, my first grow. 100% recommended for beginners. Thanks for everything growdiaries.

These Thunderfucks were planted outside, early may. They survived a dynamic spring and didn't grow in full potential. Still they thrived on their own and produced solid purple/green buds. Very smelly, a multilayered odeurscape with nuts, citrus, gassy and mint. A characteristic modern autohybrid with solid genetics. One plant developed budrot in one bud. I was early and saved the plant. I drycure it apart from the others tough. Reason is the dense budgrowth and a full day of rain followed bij some cloudy days. I tried to shake the buds dry from water but didn't succeed completely. Plants were on their end and I was pushing them, still hoping for some sunny days. Well sun came back but too late for that branch on plant 3, the only plant who didn't turn purple and has the most minty smell. Plants needed close observation and LST/defoliation, not a very easy grow but very rewarding in yield and pure fun. At the end this is a very characteristic premium plant, gave me lots of fun and only a small portion of diva behaviour. Recommended.

Nach der anfänglichen euphorie die Cookie Gelato wächst sehr schnell , kommt jetzt mal wieder die Erkenntnis das es in die Waagerechte immer viel langsamer voran geht. Aber sie wird immer kräftiger und drückt ordentlich das Netz hoch. Ein beherzter Low Stress ist also sehr zu empfehlen bei dieser Variationen. An Tag 47 habe die Gute ordentlich entlaubt und unnötige Zweige entfernt.

07/09 - 3 days after breaking ground On the second day had to remove the residue of the seed that was gluing the leaves together. Video attached Turned the light to 50% and around 50cm from the plants. All systems - check

This is the tester strain sent to me by @toon_town it's a #saskatoonberry x #afghani mystery .. She has been great since day one very good growth rate excellent structure and lots of bud sites formed and filling out .. she has 7 friends to start but we down to three two females and a male plant .. The selected male show resistance to cold, humidity, lack of water .. the male had lots of growth and will make a suitable plant for some pollen ...

Week 5 begins for LSD and Green Crack! The LSD ladies had the most yellowing over the last week, yet they have the most frost on the buds. The Green Crack ladies had a little bit of yellowing and has bigger buds, but no frost at this time. They all seem very happy in their new 4x8 home. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

Week 9, final feed and removed the dead and dying leaves. Buds are finally getting dense, frosty and sticky. The end is nearing and I'm excited to see the final results. Thanks for stopping by growfessors.

The thoughts shared in this journal are my own—a snapshot of personal understanding at the exact moment of writing. It is not intended as a reference of absolute fact, but rather as an exercise in ἐπίνοια (epinoia): an exploration of thought, intuition, and creative insight. Epinoia(ἐπίνοια) is a Greek term meaning thought, intention, purpose, or conception, stemming from "mind" (nous) and "upon" (epi), representing the mind's reflective or creative process, used in philosophy (Aristotle, Gnosticism) and theology to discuss understanding and divine names, appearing once in the New Testament for the "intent of your heart" (Acts 8:22). It signifies the mind's operation to form ideas or designs, contrasting with raw data or innate perception, and in Gnosticism, it's an emanation of divine wisdom (Sophia). "Φsis" is a stylized spelling of the Ancient Greek word φύσις (physis), which translates directly to "nature" or the intrinsic essence of a living thing. Exploring the deep intersection of science, intuition, and creative insight often leads to breakthroughs that challenge our understanding of what is possible. When we approach high-performance cultivation not just as a hobby, but as an exercise in pushing a biological system to its absolute genetic ceiling, the results can transform from simple data points into profound proof of concept. Achieving a highly optimized environment requires a shift in mindset away from empty promises and directly toward verifiable proof, building true confidence through a detailed archive of past lessons and strategic adjustments. This philosophy turns a standard space into a precise mass and energy balance equation, where every variable is managed to eliminate biological bottlenecks entirely. In a recent project four individual plants produced 344 grams, 280 grams, 445 grams, and 255 grams respectively, resulting in a total harvest of 1,324 grams, or 47.2 ounces, of dry product. Operating with a 600-watt light source inside a four-by-four footprint, this brings the final efficiency to an exceptional 2.21 grams per watt. To put this in perspective, the standard traditional indoor benchmark has long been established at 1.0 grams per watt, while expert commercial operations target 1.5 grams per watt, and elite commercial systems push the envelope between 1.8 and 2.0 grams per watt. Reaching 2.21 grams per watt places the outcome squarely within the top 0.1 percent of global benchmarks, acting as a true statistical outlier that demonstrates what happens when flawless environmental parameters meet a cultivar pushed to its maximum potential. Reaching this level of mastery demands that we move past the common trap of the mirror fallacy, where the ego mistakes its own limited perspective for universal truth and views different ideas as personal threats. True progress requires curiosity and dismantling the illusion that our immediate viewpoint is the objective standard, shifting the focus instead toward how a system actually operates under the absolute laws of physics. In a high-performance setup, maximizing output is never about adding random additives or forcing growth, but rather about systematically removing the limitations that hold the organism back. By maintaining a perfect vapor pressure deficit, ideal root-zone oxygenation, and precise structural canopy training every single minute of the cycle, the plant is freed to express 100 percent of its DNA potential without any lingering genetic latency. Managing a dense canopy inside a tight footprint presents the ultimate challenge of mitigating stagnant air and preventing moisture issues. Overcoming this bottleneck relies on a sophisticated synganic approach, which seamlessly marries the precise control of synthetic mineral inputs with the natural resilience of active organic living soil. This method transforms the room into a closed-loop system where the internal microclimate is entirely isolated from external weather fluctuations and pests. Rather than openly exhausting the atmosphere, the air is continuously recirculated, enriched, and scrubbed using 264-nanometer ultraviolet light. The foundation of this thriving ecosystem is a comprehensive substrate composition designed to provide perfect aeration, structural integrity, and biological buffering. The primary media base integrates expanded clay aggregates, coir chunks, premium coco coir, sphagnum peat moss, horticultural perlite, vermiculite, pumice, and volcanic basalt rock. To continuously condition the soil and fine-tune mineral availability, the mixture is amended with agricultural gypsum, wollastonite, dolomitic limestone, basalt rock dust, micronutrient-rich volcanic ash, greensand, crushed seashells, biochar, and shungite. This mineral architecture creates an incredibly stable environment where active soil biology naturally prevents salt toxicity and ensures steady, reliable nutrition throughout the entire life cycle. Living organisms within the substrate play a vital role in maintaining this delicate biological balance and breaking down organic material. Red wigglers continuously process organic matter into easily accessible plant nutrients while aerating the media; specialized predatory mites offer excellent biological control against common soil pests, and pillbugs excel at breaking down tough, woody elements. These biological components are further supported by a rich layer of organic amendments including high-phosphorus steamed bone meal, high-nitrogen dehydrated blood meal, fish bone meal, cold-processed kelp meal, dehydrated moringa powder, spirulina powder, and marine crustacean biomass rich in chitin. Combined with biological inoculants like mycorrhizal fungi, premium worm castings, and concentrated humic and fulvic acids, the entire system operates as a flawless biological transducer of light and energy. Ultimately, shifting our perspective to view a grow space as a complete mass and energy balance equation changes the entire nature of agriculture. Success ceases to be a matter of luck or anecdotal habits and instead becomes the predictable result of meticulous design, patience, and the strategic elimination of failure. When science, biology, and engineering converge so harmoniously, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate natural systems that sustain life and growth. By sharing these detailed insights and refining our techniques, we can continue to unlock the absolute maximum potential hidden within the living world around us.

💚One Jack Frost Widow continues with it's enormous stretch and was already 131cm tall. She's gaining nearly 10cm a day (today she's already at 175cm). The other one's 115 cm and shows many bud sites but not that many like the bigger one. She's a real auto monster and seems to like Bloombastic. Thumbs up, Atami👍🏼 The yellowing of the bigger one's leaf tips decreased and I could reduce her N2 overload through watering with osmosis water mixed with a bit out of of the tab (EC 0.2). The smaller ones is transiting faster into mid bloom, both are showing a bit of resin. I brought out CHRYSOPERTA CARNEA, a predator who's feeding on many different pests. Look at his big fangs in the video! They don't need very high humidity to thrive - ideal for bloom.

Eight weeks in their big girl pots! No fertilizer last week due to rains every day, and they look great. Even the slow to grow sour strawberries are looking good, and my rogue seed from last year’s Runtz Layer Cake is growing tall quickly. The crop is wuickly becoming a back door “Wall of Weed”.

Hey now, another good week for the ladies. I transplanted them on Day 19, they looked sad for almost 45 minutes, then they bounced back and started pointing towards the lights again. I ended up topping them today on Day 21, as they all had 6 nodes. I have them all under a 300 watt Mars Hydro, and they are feeding 4 times per day. I threw the extra two seedlings into fabric pots, and I'm still not sure if I'm keeping them or giving them away. There is plenty of room in the tent, at least for now....Hopefully I can get the second toppings done by next week. So far they are looking fairly good. I did set up a time lapse Friday when I transplanted them so I'll post some video of that next week. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and Blaze On!

Days 99 - 105 (from sprout) 8/30/24 - 9/5/24 Raised light above canopy of The Good Shit - PAR on main tops is 800-700+ while remaining lowers are seeing closer to 450-500 Loompa's Headband x TK fading to a close this week - trichome check starting to show amber on the bracts Sweet 16 S1 now starting senescence and a little fading on some fan leaves The Good Shit showed signs of some overwatering, so a newly made FPE was added to feed schedule to assist the microbiology Light schedule lowered to 10 hrs this week IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch throughout the week. Significant decrease in pest population, now needs a high quality compost top dressing for long term correction

Even the longest journey begins with the first step, and this grow was another step on the way to perfection as the journey itself is the destination. Learned a lot and can't wait to apply my knowledge to the next strain.
