Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

The final flush begins for Green Crack. She smells like a mix of earth, chemical and pungent odor, buds really bulked up last week and she's got decent frost buildup. That's all for this week, tune in next week when she gets harvested! 👽🌳🔥

Did a lil experiment and clip the top of each was looking to see a increase veg

Day 50! Start of week 8! I am watering with only 3800ml water and enough Bokashi Tea to get my PH to 6.5. The Bokashi Tea is derived from fresh Mango, Pineapple, Cantaloupe, Banana, Apples, Basil, Potato, and Inoculated Bran. In my opinion, “Terp Sauce”, helps insanely with the terps and many other things. Camera work is not my strong point. Day 53 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8. Day 56 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8.

Watering the autos in solo cups at least once a day by now. Merry Christmas to everyone by the way. Unfortunately my mum has passed yesterday morning at 8:01am, her stage III cervical cancer became stage IV in just 2 months from october to december. Heart is heavy & broken but at least she is resting now. Negative Energy for me to feed on. Sending Love to everyone.

73 Day 10 Weeks to Harvest

This week marked the start of the flowering phase as the light cycle was switched to 12/12, officially initiating bloom 🌸 For the first few days the plant continued normal vegetative growth, with the stretch becoming noticeable after about 3 days. By the end of the week the plant had already gained noticeable height and the early stretch phase was clearly underway. • Stretch beginning after ~3 days • Canopy mostly even with only one branch slightly leading • First few white pistils visible toward the end of the week Light intensity was increased to ~750 PPFD ☀️ and the fixture was raised slightly to maintain proper distance as the plant began stretching. Watering increased slightly as the plant entered the flowering transition: • ~3L every 2–3 days based on pot weight 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x BioTabs Bio PK • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment remained stable: • ~25°C temperature • ~55% RH 🌡️ The plant remained healthy with balanced structure and deep green foliage. The topping from earlier veg clearly paid off, as the canopy remained fairly even going into the stretch phase. Overall this week marks a smooth transition into bloom with the first signs of stretch and flower initiation 🍩🔥

🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 Autoflower – "Bee Happy" 🐝 (Semaine 8) ​Retour de vacances de Rimini ! La session avance à grands pas et la plante entre dans une phase cruciale. J'ai dû faire face à une petite surprise technique dans mon réservoir à mon retour, mais la situation est totalement sous contrôle et "Bee Happy" pète la forme. ​Paramètres de Culture & Climat ​Taille : Elle s'est stabilisée à 91 cm. Le stretch est définitivement terminé, offrant une canopée très homogène où toutes les branches secondaires culminent plus ou moins à la même hauteur. ​Gestion Lumineuse : Profitant de l'arrêt de sa croissance verticale, la lampe, désormais fixée à 40 cm de la canopée. ​Climat & Humidité : Toujours stable à 24°C le jour / 21°C la nuit, avec une humidité maîtrisée à 50%. ​Protection : J'ai installé une feuille collante (glue) au pied du pot. J'ai remarqué une présence trop importante de mouches de terreau (sciarides), ce qui permettra de piéger les adultes et nettoyer l'espace. ​Incident Technique : Le Mystère du pH Résolu ​À mon retour de vacances, j'ai constaté que l'eau du réservoir Autopot était montée à un pH de 8. ​💡 Note de culture : La cause est le bulleur d'air installé dans la cuve. Le bullage constant extrait le CO_2 de l'eau, provoquant une montée rapide et continue du pH. L'eau a probablement été distribuée à un mauvais pH depuis près d'un mois. ​Correction : J'ai immédiatement retiré le bulleur. De plus, j'ai changé de produit pour passer sur le pH Down de Plagron (conçu pour l'hydroponie), réputé bien plus stable dans les cuves de stockage. ​Nutrition : Des Filles Gourmandes ​Régime du jour : Arrosage manuel de 5 ml de Liquid PK 5-8 Biotabs dans 1 litre d'eau, ajusté à un pH parfait de 6,3. ​Observations : L'assimilation est excellente. On sent qu'elles ont faim et qu'elles demandent de l'énergie pour construire la suite. ​Analyse des Fleurs & Feuillage. ​Comme on peut le constater ,a production de trichomes devient phénoménale. Les petites feuilles de résine autour des têtes sont littéralement givrées, brillantes et collantes. Quelques rares pistils commencent à peine à brunir, mais la grande majorité reste d'un blanc éclatant : pour moi, ce sont encore de gros bourgeons en pleine formation qui vont continuer à gonfler massivement. ​L'odeur fruitée est extrêmement forte , un vrai régal. Visuellement, il y a une absence totale de sénescence ; toutes les feuilles principales affichent un vert foncé bien vigoureux. On note simplement quelques petites brûlures sèches localisées sur les pointes de certaines feuilles.. Rien d'alarmant : cela provient d'une forte transpiration foliaire accumulée lorsque je manipulais la plante et les branches sous le filet et aussi le mauvaisph de la cuve.. ​Merci à @mia_biotabs et Mrs_Larimar pour les conseils ! et à vous tous qui me suivez et soutenez. ❤️❤️ Le système de distribution d'eau est assaini, le PK est administré, place au gonflement ! À la semaine prochaine pour la suite.

Boom! We’re officially rolling into Week 2 of flower and things are looking dialed in across the board. PPMs are sitting right where I want them, pH is locked in, and the PPFD is tuned to a T Since the flip to flower, she’s been getting 3L of water each day, and she’s been taking it in perfectly with no signs of stress or runoff issues. I did a heavy lollipop and defoliation about 4 days ago—cleared out a bunch of lower shoots and leaves under the canopy, plus some fan leaves up top that were covering bud sites and couldn’t be tucked. Airflow is much better now, and light penetration has definitely improved. The magnesium deficiency I had earlier seems to be under control. New growth is looking lush and vibrant. She’s back on track and praying hard toward the light. Really looking forward to Week 3 when the buds start forming and the magic kicks in!

4/28 Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and that’s when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldn’t have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what you’re using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. I’m also using roots organics with some other plants and I’m really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain that’s like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because it’s “organic you don’t need to flush” thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah here’s my plant yall 😂

REGAS: 21 e 25 janeiro so com agua. À espera que o solo seque para colher.

Estuve intentando ajustar el ph del sustrato con los riegos estas semnas, le daba 6.8 para que suba un poco que el ultimo run off habia dado ph 4.9 y ec 1.6 y logre subirlo pero solo un poco, ahora quedo en 5.5 por lo menos no es tan bajo. Tremenda la resina que tiene ya! Bañada en tricomas

This week started out with some yellowing on the GMO, which had grown incredibly quickly and was much taller than the other 2. Acapulco Gold was the shortest of the 3, but had grown with very short internodial spacing. I wanted to move the Sour Strawberry over as soon as possible, but it grew a bit slowly, maybe I overwatered it a bit. In an attempt to counteract the yellowing on the GMO, I decided to try out the AutoPots. Was that a good idea at this point? I don't know, but I had to try them out eventually. After turning it on, the plants started degrading quickly. I don't know what exactly caused the issue, my best guess is it's a pH issue. But this is where it started going downhill for me, especially since I was still trying to get the 4th one going in the first place. I quickly turned off the AutoPots again and went back to hand watering, also while trying to find the issue, I left out much of the things I had added to the AutoPot tank.

GMO Cookies — Week 8 From Seed (≈ Week 3 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) “Served with extra curiosity.” 🌱 Quick Recap (For Everyone Joining Now) These girls have been running 12/12 from seed from day one. No traditional vegetative phase. They decided their timing — we followed. This is not about chasing more harvests per year. It’s about efficiency, energy management, and less unnecessary labor. We are now at Week 8 from seed, which we consider early–mid flower transition (Week 3 flowering) based on pistil development and stacking behavior. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The room is looking strong and stable. • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing) • PPFD: 800–1300 µmol/m²/s (varies per plant height) • Airflow: Heavy exchange + vortex + crosswinds Now let’s explain the why. We are prioritizing leaf VPD, not just room VPD. Because of strong airflow and active transpiration, we can run slightly higher humidity at this stage without creating microclimate issues. Big intake. Big exhaust. Vortex movement. Crosswind fans breaking boundary layers. This allows us to push intensity safely. And intensity is where the fun begins. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are not just running a top light. We are using: • Over-canopy lighting • Inner canopy lighting • Under-canopy lighting Why? Because photosynthesis doesn’t only happen at the top cola. Lower sites can remain productive if light penetrates and airflow supports them. Benefits: • More uniform energy distribution • Reduced larf • Better lower bud development • Higher nutrient demand (which we are seeing) This multi-angle light system is part of why we can push EC while still seeing substrate EC remain low. ⸻ Feeding & EC Strategy Current Irrigation EC: ~2.4 Substrate EC reading: ~0.9 That tells us something important: The girls are eating. When runoff/substrate EC remains low despite high input EC, it means uptake is strong and salts are not accumulating. The moment we see substrate EC climbing? We reduce feed EC immediately. End goal: Final week or so → likely water only. ⸻ Current Nutrient Recipe • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal (No more Vita Race foliar for now.) ⸻ 🔬 Why We Switched Additives We moved from Power Roots → Power Buds + Green Sensation Power Buds • Encourages flower initiation • Supports generative growth • Helps hormonal shift into flowering mode Green Sensation • PK booster • Adds Magnesium & Iron • Supports enzyme systems & chlorophyll stability • Assists in energy transport during early bulking phase We are now in the stage where roots are established — focus shifts to flowers and energy management. ⸻ ⚗️ Order of Mixing (Chemistry Matters) This is important. 1. CalMag first Our water is very soft. We raise EC to ~0.7 using CalMag before adding anything else. Why? • Calcium stabilizes solution chemistry. • Prevents nutrient lockout. • Reduces risk of precipitation when adding PK later. • Supports cell wall strength during high transpiration. 2. Base nutrients (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives (Power Buds, Green Sensation, Pure Zym, Sugar Royal) Mixing order affects solubility and stability. This is not random. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Defoliation was done recently. Result? It looks like nothing happened. The canopy refilled quickly. Structure is strong. Stretch is controlled but active. Stacking is beginning. They are bigger than expected at this stage, to be honest. This is where things get interesting. ⸻ 🔬 Macro Season Begins We are entering the phase where microphotography becomes meaningful. Yes, it’s always interesting. But now: • Trichome stalks are forming. • Resin heads are developing. • Pistil clusters are stacking. • Leaf surface gland density increases. From this week forward, macro and focus stacking will become part of the reports. Not for hype. For documentation. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week • Continued stacking • Slight humidity reduction • Possible EC adjustment depending on substrate readings • Increased resin production • Internodal swelling No drastic changes planned — just observation and precision. ⸻ 🤝 Appreciation Section Thank you to: • The long-time followers • The OGs • The critics • The silent readers • The new growers joining • The Grow Diaries platform • The sponsors • And everyone watching quietly This doesn’t happen because I’m alone in the garden. It happens because of community.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

She is doing her thing…I believe I saw some pre flowers which is expected after 3-4 weeks of veg.

The plant is topping, it feels good, the roots are developing well 🌱

Flower time! Plant structure and training completed, not waiting any longer for this one. Not as big as I’d like, but I want the two tents to switch at the same time. Shorter tent anyways. Allowing to grow into 2x TS600’s now until 24” away and observing for any negative effects. I’m really liking how these Blimburn genetics are growing out, even though she’s shorter, she’s thick and strong. Really stacking up. I’m not going to allow many secondary branches to grow out this round. Don’t want it crowded in there this grow, going for fat hard colas…hopefully. Top dressed with Bokashi gro-pro, earthworm castings, and watered in with Gaia Green soluble seaweed 0-0-17. In a couple weeks will top dress again with 4-4-4 & 2-4-8. Thanks for the views and Grow On!

I have nice hairy buds coming Some plants are out of sync, autos are flowering faster than the photoperiodic
