Days to go, amber trichomes starting to show, maybe 5-10%. Have been on tap water for the last week.

One more week and this is the last one before switching to 12/12h, I decided to clean a few more sheets and I'm sure it will recover very quickly.. Happy growing! ✌️🌱🌿🍁

Definitely love this so far im expecting a lot from it

Song of the week : Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain ------- Day 32 - The girls are good , I put them out on day 29 and after a night out they get back into the tent. In less than 24h out the Gp#1 made a big stretch so I need to check her height , the Gp#2 is starting to get bushy. The 2 girls are experimenting a nitrogen excess due to the last and 1st feeding last week : you can see it on the dark green and almost blue colour of the leaves so they will only get tap water until flowering. ------- Day 33 - A little training have been done on the Gp#1 : just few stems pinching 👍

Sour Diesel — The Little Survivor Harvest & Trimming Report — Part 1 Before starting this report properly, we once again want to apologize for dividing the harvest documentation into multiple parts. Even when plants are smaller than the giants we have shown recently, we still believe every genetic deserves proper documentation, proper explanation, and enough time to tell the full story from seed to final medicine. That means: - harvest, - drying, - trimming, - curing, - smoke review, - terpene analysis, - and final reflections all deserve their own moments. And honestly? That is exactly what GrowDiaries is about for us. Not just showing finished buds. But documenting the entire journey honestly. The beautiful parts. And also the difficult ones. --- This week, we are talking about the smallest and most unhappy girl from the room: Our Sour Diesel. And honestly… in a room full of different genetics sharing the same environment, same feeding schedule, same lighting, same humidity and same rhythm, it is impossible to make every single plant perfectly happy all the time. Some genetics thrive. Some tolerate. Some struggle. And this Sour Diesel definitely struggled more than the others during this run. Compared to the monsters surrounding her inside the 8x8 room, she stayed smaller, more sensitive, and clearly less comfortable with the overall conditions. But here is the important part: She never gave up. And neither did we. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is remove the weak plant and move on. But when we have: - the space, - the patience, - the time, - and the love for growing, sometimes it is worth allowing plants the opportunity to recover and finish their journey. And honestly? We are very happy we did. Because despite all the struggles, this little Sour Diesel still delivered beautiful medicine. --- By Week 15 from seed, she was finally ready. Not the biggest plant. Not the frostiest in the room. Not the highest yielder. But still beautiful in her own way. Dense little flowers. Strong aromas already developing. Beautiful trichomes. Classic Sour Diesel energy hidden underneath the stress she experienced. And because the entire room was coming down together, her time also arrived. Could she maybe have stayed another week? Possibly. But in a mixed-room environment, timing becomes a collective decision. And honestly, we were happy with where her trichomes stood: mostly cloudy, a few amber, still some clear heads, but overall exactly inside the window we personally enjoy harvesting our medicine. --- After harvest, we broke the plant down branch by branch and placed everything carefully onto drying racks. Drying conditions stayed similar to the rest of the room: around 20°C and 60% humidity. Slow. Controlled. Patient. Exactly how we like it. After roughly 7–10 days, once those little branch snaps finally gave us that beautiful “click” every grower loves hearing, trimming time arrived. And honestly? For a smaller plant, this became a very peaceful trimming session. Trim bin on stage. Gloves on. Zamnesia curved scissors ready. Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always. And one by one, we cleaned her carefully. Those curved scissors truly make a difference for us because they allow easy access deep into compact flowers while preserving structure and avoiding unnecessary damage to the buds. Small details matter during trimming. Especially with resinous flowers. --- And despite being a smaller harvest… this girl was still sticky. Very sticky. The gloves quickly started collecting resin, giving us beautiful finger hash that we rolled gently into small charas-style balls to enjoy later. And honestly? One of the most beautiful parts of hand trimming is exactly this connection. Feeling the resin. Feeling the texture. Understanding the plant directly through touch. No machine replaces that. The trim bin also collected a nice amount of resin-rich material through the screen, which we later gathered into another small hash ball. Not massive amounts. But beautiful medicine nonetheless. And honestly? That always makes us happy. --- Final dry result: 54.2 grams. And while some growers may look only at numbers, we honestly prefer looking at stories. Because this plant easily could have been discarded much earlier in the run. Instead, she recovered, finished, dried properly, trimmed beautifully, and now rests curing safely inside one of the Zamnesia vacuum metal containers. For smaller personal jars like this, we absolutely love these containers because: - they preserve aromas very well, - reduce unnecessary air exchange, - protect terpenes, - and keep special flowers separated for long-term enjoyment. This became one of those “open only sometimes” jars. The kind of medicine you revisit quietly from time to time. --- We also decided to press part of this Sour Diesel to explore her resin potential. But… we will save that entire conversation for Part 2. Because that story deserves its own moment. And honestly? There are lessons there worth sharing. --- For now, we simply close this chapter feeling grateful. Grateful that we kept her alive. Grateful that patience won. Grateful that even the “unhappy plant” still found a way to become beautiful medicine. Sometimes plants teach us more during struggle than during perfection. And this Sour Diesel definitely reminded us of that. --- Huge thanks once again to: Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrients, Future of Grow LEDs for the lighting, GrowDiaries for the platform, and every single person following these journeys. The OGs. The silent followers. The new growers. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The accidental visitors. If you are here reading this… you are part of the story too. And honestly? We appreciate all of you. Part 2 coming soon: Smoke review, curing evolution, terpene profile, rosin discussion, and final thoughts about this little survivor. The journey continues. As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 Quick little side note before closing this update: Apologies if some of the photo sequences appear slightly out of order or jump a bit between stages. With hundreds of files, multiple cameras, daytime/nighttime shots, trimming sessions, macros, and documentation spread across different moments, sometimes the gallery decides to dance left, right, up and down on its own 😄 But honestly… maybe that chaos is also part of the real grow room energy. Nothing here is over-polished or artificially perfect. Just real plants, real moments, real documentation and real passion for the craft. Thank you all for following along through every step of the journey 🌱

So happy so far Need to. Learn to properly feed next run

She is still moving with no pace but with no signs of deficiency. She has i problem with her rootball at the moment. I gave her a saturation of phd balanced water two days ago and she seems fine but it’s still touch and go with her.

These girls where a joy to grow and even more of a joy to smoke! It really is a weed that has delivered in every department the colour, the smell, the taste, the yeilds. I'm off to binge watch prime and order an obscene amount of takeaways 👋🏻✌️🏻

I am starting a auto moon rock. I will be growing her in 3 gallons of perlite. My 1 gal one was nice, and I am curious to it on a bigger scale. Figured this may be neat upon finishing. 🤞🏻 for a great grow. Thank you Medic Grow, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

* Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops * Check the trichomes for amber * After first amber trichomes switch off the lights, leave it in the dark for 2 days

Week IX — The Trial of Fire A big heat storm has descended upon Eldritch Gardens. For this week, the chamber has endured an oppressive wave of warmth and humidity. The air hangs heavy beneath the false suns. Moisture lingers where it should not. The fans labor endlessly against the thick atmosphere, yet the garden persists. Plant #1 — The Fat One — Colas swell across its sprawling structure like great green towers rising from an eldritch city. Everywhere the eye wanders, new clusters emerge, stacking upon one another in formations of almost absurd density. The buds are becoming enormous. The resin thickens. The promise grows heavier by the day. And its fragrance has evolved into something magnificent. The sharp gas that once dominated now mingles with rich notes of fruit, creating an intoxicating combination that drifts through the chamber. Beneath it all lurks a peculiar marker-like sharpness, a scent reminiscent of permanent ink and strange chemistry. Plant #2 — The Battered One --Though Plant #1 commands attention through sheer mass, Plant #2 reaches higher into the artificial heavens, its towering structure crowned with beautifully formed colas that continue to stack with remarkable consistency. Every branch seems determined to become a flowering spear aimed toward the false stars above. Its scent is simpler. More direct. Pure diesel. An aroma so aggressive and unmistakable that it announces its presence long before the plant itself comes into view. Plant #5 — The Red One. The mutant. The mystery. While the others settled into their flowering forms, Plant #5 delivered one final surprise. During the third week of bloom, it unleashed a dramatic stretch, surging upward with unexpected determination until it nearly matched its larger companions in height. No longer dwarfed. No longer forgotten. Its fragrance follows the diesel lineage of the garden, yet carries a sweeter undertone that softens the harsh edges of fuel and transforms it into something more exotic. Yet its peculiarities remain. Flowers continue to emerge from improbable places. Buds appear where leaves should dominate. Certain formations seem almost confused, as though the plant follows a biological script written by a different author than the others. The mutations persists. And strangely, that only deepens its charm. The garden now stands at a fascinating crossroads. The stretch is over. The architecture has been built. The battle for space has already been won. Now comes the era of swelling flowers. The era of resin. The era of aroma. The heat wave may challenge the chamber, but the chosen three continue their work undeterred. Their roots drink relentlessly. Their flowers expand daily. Their scents mingle into a thick cloud of fruit, gas, diesel, sweetness, and strange chemical whispers. And from somewhere beyond the humming fans and shimmering LEDs, the ancient god watches patiently as the harvest slowly reveals the secrets hidden within The Gassy One.

Raised Ec to 1.7, the banana punch is further along than the Cherry and has some trichs on the leaves already despite the buds being in a early stage, the Cherry Cola continues to grow in height and overtook the other this week, I recalibrated my Ph/Ec Pen to ensure accuracy. humidity is quite high at the moment but I expect it to drop where I live in the next few weeks hopefully! 3 plants in the 80x80cm tent has the humidity higher than id like but the plants seem happy enough for now. The 3 are guzzling the water, Not sure exactly how much but I topped up the reservoir by at least 30 liters this week.

29/3 the grapefruit is coming along nicely, buds actually smell like grapefruit! Lsd is so impressive! it’s on fire! The west coast ogs are still quite a bit behind..looking online, a lot of people seem to get these buds growing huge! Hopefully they get there.. BCN critical xxl popped 1 day after the LSD but has been the slowest to flower..It's just going into flower now. Light has been at 75% for the last week or so and is at around 23inches above. Have been feeding all plants alternating water/feed/water/feed 1 litre every 2-3 days. So far so good! 4/4 bcn critical xxl isn’t looking very happy at all..she’s fully flowering now but all of her new growth has been loooking droopy for the last week…not too sure what’s up there..

Getting super fat, calyx's have started turning a bit purple. Was concerned it was bud rot, inspected with jewelers loupe. Seems fine, will watch closely. I have cloudy trichromes, no ambers yet.

10-1 Day 2 week 3 of flower. The roof was on fire, ppm 9k, fire dept came, put it out, ppm 1750. Still a amber burning, maybe it will settle! Ph 7.2 Doesn't seem too mad atm! Ouch . Looked up my water report all I could find was mag ppm7 out of tap. Nothing about cal. It makes complete sense, I have an issue with cal/mag every time. Still figuring it out. I would have never figured this out. Ty amazing people!! 10-5 Water .2 mg epson per liter. Cal/mag, yucca Fingers crossed. 🤞 So maybe I have soft water and need to add. Gonna just use dolomite lime next grow and for now on I guess. 10-6 1/4 cup poo, 3 tbs buildaflower, scoop connect. .

Plante are recovering slowly
