First week I hadn’t used any nutes and just basically water when dry. Kept the humidity domes on for a bit but that’s basically it at this point.

04/09 - Started minor defoliation. Shes getting too bushy and blocking bud sites and causing moisture spots. Will remove a couple of leaves every other day for the next week. 05/09 - Full res change. Realised I mucked up the ratio. Went 35ml Micro, 25ml grow, (Shouldve been the other way around, so added an extra 10ml grow), 15ml Bloom and 15ml Silica. EC 1.4, PH 5.7. Will keep an eye on her and add some additional grow if she does alright. 06/09 - Minor defoliation. Removed about 12 leaves total so far. LST to spread the canopy a little more. PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.4, Water level dropping. Seems to be stretching and pistils have begun to form! Responding well to the uptick in nutes from the res change. 07/09 - Leaf tucking, LST and took a leaf or two. Shes getting her stretch on for sure. PH stable at 5.8, EC stable at 1.4. Water level still dropping. 09/09 - After much deliberation, I ended up going for a fairly heavy defoliation session and am now going to leave her the hell alone until at least mid flower. I removed a large chunk of shaded leaves and bud sites and effectively ended up lollipopping her. I also removed all the old LST, and added a couple to pull leaves out of the way. The canopy remains largely unchanged, but shes much more airy now, and Im seeing far fewer damp spots where leaf perspiration has occured. Now to see if I can keep my hands off for a few weeks!

01/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 6.0 and removed some dying leaves from the lower canopy 02/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 5.85 03/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 5.85 04/09/25 - Watered 2L with no nutrition will start feed again tomorrow 👌 07/09/25 - Watered 3L ph 5.85. Potassium is needed badly. Ive been under feeding them so much going from synthetic to biobizz ive learnt how it works. Now upped the dosages for the Gorilla cookies and Sour Crinkle #2 3ml bloom 2ml topmax 1ml grow 2ml alg-a-mic 3ml acti-vera and 2ml calmag per litre. Im here for the longrun as this is my medicine hopefully one day I can get off all my medications and just use high doses of thc/cbd/terpens the lot. Feel blessed I atleast have medical cannabis but it costs a fortune for the amount Id need 😰

More defoliation and nutes this week, they are seriously getting hungry now! I ordered a new 30cm honeywell ground fan and dehumidifier to quickly solve the RH issues, I don't want to risk mold or other surprises.

Week 10 Veg – The Art of Clipping & Training We’ve officially hit Week 10 Veg with our White OG from Seedsman Seeds, and this week has been all about training and sculpting her into the beast she is meant to be! 💪🌿 🌱 Training & Clipping – The Path to Perfection This week, I went full hands-on with her structure, bending, clipping, and securing her branches into the exact shape I want. Each branch was carefully attached and adjusted, allowing her to spread out and open up beautifully. This method encourages even light distribution and maximizes bud sites for the upcoming flowering phase. She’s been responding amazingly to the training, showing strong recovery and explosive growth in return. It’s taking longer than usual in veg, but patience is key. I believe this will pay off in the end, rewarding us with a massive, structured mama ready to produce some stunning flowers. 📸 The Photoshoot – Showing Off Her Beauty By the end of the week, after letting her settle and stretch from all the training, I decided to do a proper photo shoot to capture all her beautiful details. There’s something about seeing her structure under the perfect lighting that makes all the work worthwhile. Feeding & Conditions Still rocking the Aptus Clean Line, keeping things simple yet powerful with: ✅ Regulator ✅ RO Water Conditioner ✅ All-in-One Liquid 💦 pH – 6.02 ⚡ EC – 1.12 Lights are still FOG LED, controlled by TrolMaster, ensuring she gets the perfect spectrum and intensity for this crucial phase. The climate remains stable, allowing her to keep thriving and adapting to the ongoing training. 🙏 Shoutouts & Gratitude Big thanks to the sponsors, the community, the platform, and everyone supporting this journey! Special appreciation to: 🔥 Seedsman Seeds 🔥 Aptus Holland 🔥 TrolMaster 🔥 Future of Grow LED 🔥 Pro-Mix Soil 🔥 CannaCan Much love to all growers, followers, haters, supporters, and everyone in this amazing journey! 🚀🌱 🎥 Join the Journey!

Die Reise ist zuende. Es war spannend sie wachsen zu sehen. Leider hatte ich irgendwann Probleme mit dem Dünger bei ihr und sie litt sehr darunter. Aber sie hat sich tapfer durchgebissen und hat mir am Ende deutlich mehr gebracht, als ich gehofft hatte. Green Gelato Auto von RQS gehört wie Cookies Gelato und Fat Banana Auto zu meinem ersten Tagebuch. Leider wird das Tagebuch nicht angezeigt, daher habe ich jede Pflanze jetzt nomma einzelnt hochgeladen, damit ihr auch sehen könnt, wie mein Start auf Growdiaries war. Das Tagebuch hatte damals vor 2 Jahren ganze 4 Likes abgestaubt... 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Another easy week, weather has been beautiful! Lot’s of ☀️. They have been very thirsty as a result, I was able to get three waterings in this week. Just keep bringing them in and out of their pop up greenhouse daily. Started to taper down some of the feeds, two plain oh waterings and one feed this week. I don’t really “flush” but I do taper down to just ph water for the last few feeds. Happy growing folks! 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Jour42 defolliation and LST Jour45 defolliation Jour47 arrosage avec de l'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz La plante entre maintenant en floraison c'est donc le début du stretch Explication en anglais (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common. May the force be with you 💪
