My other grow was growing into the light, so I had to switch them. This light doesn't have the greatest coverage, but it had to be done. The humidifier is still down, and I'm going to have to move house with it on one of the coldest days of the year, so this grow does not have everything going for it. Smells strong, like candy apples and the buds are getting very dense.

July 13: perfect cannabis weather after last week’s heat wave. Another heat wave next week, but for now it’s perfect. Added a third scrog layer and tied it off to some water bottles. This type of scrogging works, is easy, cheap, and it’s easy to still move the plant around the yard as needed. July 14: re-did the scrog net using a larger piece with more squares. Supercropped some ends to keep the growth tips at the same elevation. We’ll see how many colas I can make of this. July 16: looks happy enough but I need to up the water volume in this heat. July 18: really hot the last few days (33 C) so lots of watering and misting to keep them a bit cooler. Look really green and robust. 👍👍 Also wetting outside of grow bags to get some evaporative cooling for the soil. Added malted barley and Power Bloom to some soil and added it as a soil layer. Added plain soil on the top to deter birds from stealing the barley kernels. A bit less than 1 tbsp of Power Bloom per 1 gallon of soil with a bit more than 1 tbsp of malted barley per gallon of soil. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

Love the strain. There was heat stress, and for such much light 2x2 tent would be better. After curing: Tasty as hell grape "cold" flavour, body tranqulizing high, after few hits from the bong its a good idea to chill and watch a movie. Absolutley love the smoke in the end, from bag appeal to high :)0

VIDEO ADDED: DEC 29 2020! -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 27 2020! MORE COMING VIDEO?! -- Smell is starting to come down from the fresh cut, definitely has a great look to the bud as the cure goes on, have two 8 gram boveda packs in there after a few days with one that was WAY too big for it 😂 Brought down my Chocolate Mint OG in my other diary right now as well, way more weight to that last plant... probably more than both these Chem Bombs combined, great genetics over @Humboldt_seed_organization 😎 -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 23 2020! MORE COMING! -- DEC 19 2020 - Harvest Day Chem-Bomb Auto .. DONE. Step-Brothers ... CHOPPED. Buds.. TRIMMED. Giving them my first bud wash tomorrow! Already juiced the lemon, have the spring water, and off-brand baking soda because COVID has every place sold out of Arm&Hammer 😂 Dale: 50 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 15 Grams Trim/Larf = Total 65 Grams Wet Brennan: 55 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 12 Grams Trim/Larf = 67 Grams Wet Total Wet: 132 Grams (Buds/Stems/Trim) Looks like I'm getting in and around the "1 Ounce per Auto Plant" range with my basic soil/hand feed system. The CMOG from my other diary looks like it will be my first 1OZ plant when it dries. With my past experience of wet buds drying out to about half of bud weight, I'm hoping that they both come in JUST under an Oz a piece. Going to update with more pictures, going to take a couple days to dry and get a good weight and hopefully get somewhere close to the 64 grams of the ONLY sized Boveda packs I have right now 😇 -- UPDATE - Dec 20 2020 - Cure Day 😵😭 i once again got my hopes up by pulling the classic male "over-exaggerating" and all the wet weight came from the main stems. After 3 days or so of drying both plants together came in just under an ounce. The smell is great and I have no doubt it's quality bud but I need to up my density game somehow for sure. New nutrients or better set up, still very low-end with all my equipment as I've just slowly been finding affordable pieces to add as I go. Maybe more light? Feel free to hit me up below with ideas short of switching to a Hydro set up 😹 I can hardly afford my bags of soil so I definitely couldnt keep up with the financial costs of a Hydro set up yet 😓 Have had a few bowls of the dried/uncured bud and it's very nice, clean, and crazy good for being uncured at this point. Just the classic flower taste from the chlorophyll but the pineapple/tropical taste is coming through nice already. Final Stats: 26g Dried Bud 26g Trim -- Thanks for checking in! Will be updating soon and posting more pictures! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow (DM and let me know you're from Grow Diaries so i can follow back!)

The smell when wet trimming the fans off is of sweet berrys, a little bit citrus and musky dank smell is the only way I can describe it. The drying is coming to an end, at the end of day 13 I broke a bud off that weighed a gram and had a smoke test, the flavours are there and it smooth smoke surprisingly but I think a cure will really bring the terps out.

Finally some decent growth!! 19cm this week and she got a lot bushier. Not in flowering yet but that's ok, she needs to grow more ideally. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

Everything is doing fine. Checked the runoff waters and the ppm going in was 800, 1.6 sec and the ph was 5.8 using Cyco nutrients, and it says to keep ph from 5.5 to 5.8 through bloom. So the runoff water was at 900 ppm and pump ph is sitting at 6.0. The top of the one cheese is past the light, but she is so large there is a lot of flowers under the light. There starting to do some bulking now. The odours from the cheese is pretty strong. Looking forward to getting this month finished. Some fine strains to try next.

So far these girls are beginning their push towards early stages of flowering! Each node is slowly developing pistils, new growth & reaching for the light! They've widened quite a bit seeing as both plants are slowly making their way outside the edge of their 6.6 gallon autopots. I'm noticing the increase in water consumption with no signs of new deficiencies at the 1.7EC 5.8ph. I will be increasing the the EC to 2.0 after flowering begins to progress.

24/01/2024 Spread her out! Time for the show. Welcome to my "Barrel Of Laughs" look what shes grown in lol 25/01/2024 Lights on and moved the pot to the left side of the tent, then sorted out the canopy with the scrog! Fed her with extra seaweed to the mix. Unfortunately, she got burnt. I made the mistake of moving the light too close, overfeeding, and overusing 12% food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Conclusion: Well, onwards and upwards! I need to sort this out. Since I used hydrogen peroxide, flushing is a bad idea. I don't want to reactivate what's settled in the leaves and soil until it's no longer active. I removed all the badly damaged leaves, likening it to a necessary amputation, but luckily I'm at the early stages of flower. I'll keep a close eye on her. 25/01/2024 Mid-day Not looking good; the new growth is the same after the flush. 25/01/2024 Lights out! Can't believe I spoiled the grow, but she'll hopefully recover. The lights, particularly the sk600 and Cropmaster, are too intense and powerful. I'm wiring up a dimmer switch to reduce it to 420 watts. The Cropmaster will be removed until maturity as having over 1000 watts of LED in a small tent is too much. 26/01/2024 Mid-day Check Time! She's looking a lot better. Taking photos is a good calf workout and lower back exercise when shooting at 0.6x at 12m. There are positives to all the negative occurrences during the growing, raising, and breeding of these plants. Weed can inspire creativity, debate, contemplation, and intelligence. It's important to focus on the positive aspects these plants can bring. 26/01/2024 Temps are more normal now since removing the Cropmaster, which was very powerful. Sleepy time: 24-25°C; Daytime: 27-28°C. 27/01/2024 In recovery and doing well. Bright moon tonight. Mid-Day: She's now ready for the full tilt. I've slowly guided the colas out and all the branches looked similar in size, which is why she's ready to grow straight up. There will be a beautiful green screen underneath! I'll coin this technique 'The SpaceProvider' as it maximizes the canopy and undergrowth space. It took me two hours to sort this tonight, and she will straighten up properly in three days. The dimmer didn't work due to incorrect volts, but I managed to reduce the light to 10% today by tapping its relay wires. Mid-day: Looking a bit better. I sorted a few branches out to rearrange and ensure they will grow straight. There are definitely no free radicals left in this plant, and the fresh new growth is a positive sign. 24/01/2024 Preparing for upcoming growth spurt during flowering phase. 25/01/2024 Adjusted the scrog to accommodate the impending growth spurt. Allowing the plant to stretch freely. Will need to reposition a few colas as needed but expecting smooth sailing from here onward. Late-day temperature check: 27-28°C. 26/01/2024 Daytime temperature inside the tent remains in the 27-28°C range, similar to pre-Cropmaster lighting. Planning to implement the Cropmaster light closer to the bloom phase as we have a way to go. Committed to only guiding the upward growth and not interfering with the flowers. Each bud requires a leaf for optimal growth. Embracing a playful wordplay: "I will need to leave the flowers alone, just a little friendly play of words." I'm looking through the window, the window to your heart! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nw_ob4IeOo 27/01/2024 That was a lot of supercropping today, my goodness! Even my thumb and index fingers are aching now, but hey, thumbs up for a job well done; I'll store that in my mental index book to reminisce about later when it's all over to click through! Peaceful mind 🧠, at least the canopy will be flat, unlike my occasionally bouncy head - Slowly walks quietly away to Mediate. It looks like it'll add an extra week to the harvest date. Instead of the 8th of February, we're looking at the 15th to 17th of February for when she'll be ready, but you just can't predict with Hazes; they seem to need like 13 weeks at times. I mean, March for harvest 😆. I'm no comedian, but everyone seems to be laughing at me now. Sometimes, we have to poke fun at ourselves; it's good for the spirit 👏 🙌 ✨" "I've got two extractor fans set up, one bringing in clean air and the other pushing it out. Yesterday I noticed that the extractor out fan was off before bed, due to the weight of the cables pulling it loose. The kettle lead must have come loose, but it's all sorted now." "I know what you might be thinking; he's going to get popcorn nugs by fussing and stressing the plant in the early stages of flowering. I did mention in the article that there might be a little risk, with a pun about nuggets. Honestly, I believe I'll still yield 1lb just because of the light and growing technique used, and the extended time in long veg." I accomplished what i stated using this DIY Budmaster GoD 9 250w for the vegetative stage and 450w for flowering, drawing only 320w wall power, achieving a yield of 11 ounces. Conversely, the SK600 draws 610 watts from the wall. If I can avoid further mistakes and ensure proper feeding during maturity, I anticipate a minimum of 18 ounces. With over 80 colas, the close proximity to the light, and abundant breathing space, I've developed a unique growing technique which I've dubbed "The Space Provider," due to its ability to ensure every corner of the tent is utilized for cola growth. As a shorter version, I've considered naming it "SpaceyPro." 🤔 Bring in the reflective mylar mat for under her! *_______________*_____________*_______________* #A Brief Article Summary of This Week's Discussions & Disasters! ______________________________________________ Title: From Defoliation Disaster to Cannabis Cultivation Wisdom: A Cannabis Grower's Saga So, there I was, thinking of performing a routine defoliation on my prized Forgotten Haze Cakes, a 100% sativa strain with a long flowering period from Terpzy Mutant genetics and feminized seeds. Little did I know that this seemingly simple task would unleash a comedy of errors, leading me to discover the vital importance of precision in organic cannabis cultivation. As I lovingly tended to my plants, I reached for some hydrogen peroxide - 12% food-grade, of course - to keep everything clean and healthy. After all, research has taught me that using hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial in preventing root diseases and promoting healthy root growth. However, in a classic case of good intentions gone haywire, my well-meaning application ended up in a rather unexpected chemical reaction. Who knew that bacteria from my hands and a bit too much light would turn my peaceful grow operation into a psychedelic mishap? As I gazed in bewilderment at the unexpected brown shading on the leaves, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It was as if my plants had suddenly developed a rebellious streak and decided to rebel against my well-intentioned care. I mean, really, who needs a science experiment when you have cannabis plants with their own flair for drama? Unraveling the aftermath of this defoliation debacle, I realized that beneath the chaos lay a valuable lesson in the art of cannabis cultivation. Precision, my friends, is the secret ingredient. It's all about applying the proper measurements and foreseeing the potential consequences before diving headfirst into the world of organic plant growing. Now, about using hydrogen peroxide on cannabis plants, it's crucial to dilute it properly. A popular recommendation is to prepare a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water in a 1:5 ratio for watering your plants. This provides the benefits of oxygenation at the root zone without harming the plants. Timing is also essential; it's typically recommended to administer the hydrogen peroxide solution during the watering schedule, ensuring that the roots receive adequate oxygenation for healthy growth. Following this incident, I delved deeper into my research, seeking advice from seasoned growers and multiple reputable sources. The experience instilled in me the importance of thorough investigation and informed decision-making when it comes to plant care. I learned that even the most well-intentioned actions can have surprising outcomes, but with extensive research and knowledge, one can minimize the chances of such mishaps. To complement the hydrogen peroxide, I also learned the benefits of diatomaceous earth, natural and effective pest control and soil amendment. After researching extensively, I discovered that applying a thin layer of diatomaceous earth to the soil surface helps deter pests like aphids, mites, and other unwanted visitors while promoting healthy root development. To apply diatomaceous earth, lightly dust it around the base of the plants and on the soil surface, taking care to avoid excessive buildup. As I embraced the twists and turns of this growing process, I couldn't help but ponder the amusing parallels between cannabis cultivation and life itself. We all aim and miss at times, but it's all part of the growth process - mind the pun. Just as in cultivating cannabis, it's essential to adapt, learn from our experiences, and continually strive for improvement. In the midst of all the chaos, amidst the pre-flowering stage of my beloved Forgotten Haze Cakes, I found myself inadvertently learning the intricate needs of my plants. And what a wild journey it has been! I can't help but see the humor in it all. After all, every mishap has its own little nugget of wisdom, right? Now, armed with this newfound insight, I plan to pass on this treasure trove of knowledge to fellow growers and those venturing into the enchanting world of cannabis cultivation. Precision, chemical reaction unpredictability, and the foresight to foresee potential consequences - these are the valuable gems I've gathered from this unpredictable turn of events. So, to all the aspiring cannabis cultivators out there, remember - every mishap holds a lesson. Embrace the unexpected, learn from your plants, and be ready for a surprise twist in your grow. Who knows, it might just turn your next gaffe into a hilarious story to share with your fellow cannabis enthusiasts! In the end, what started as a defoliation disaster has blossomed into a valuable experience, reminding me that even in the wildest of mishaps, there's a silver lining or, should I say, a luscious green lining? In the aftermath of the hydrogen peroxide mishap, a deeper understanding of the science behind its effects on the plants unfolded. Hydrogen peroxide, often used as a root boost and cleaner during or after feeds, should be approached cautiously in organic cultivation. When used inappropriately, it can have unintended and adverse effects on the delicate ecosystem of the cannabis garden. The chemical composition of hydrogen peroxide causes it to act as an oxidizer, releasing oxygen upon degradation. This reaction can be beneficial in certain contexts, such as in soil aeriation, but if incorrectly applied, it can result in detrimental outcomes. During the mishap, the hydrogen peroxide inadvertently reacted with micro metals in the diatomaceous earth, which was being used as animal food grade. This led to an unexpected chain reaction, causing the release of free radicals and a bleaching effect on the plants' leaves. Additionally, the application of hydrogen peroxide resulted in the burning of bacteria present on and within the leaf veins. This process, similar to the effect of light burn, contributed to the browning and twisting of the leaves. When leaves are exposed to excessive light or heat, they can become brown and subsequently twist up, exhibiting signs of distress. These combined effects not only altered the aesthetic appearance of the plants but also had a profound impact on their nutrient uptake, as I had elaborated upon earlier in the article. The intricate interplay of chemical reactions and biological processes within the cannabis garden underscores the necessity for precision and comprehensive knowledge in organic cultivation practices. It is a compelling reminder that every action, every component introduced to the garden, must be carefully considered for its potential consequences. The delicate balance of life within the ecosystem demands an astute understanding of the science behind each element employed in cultivation practices. This incident, though initially wrought with challenges, has ultimately deepened my comprehension of the nuanced relationship between the cannabis plants and their environment. It underscores the profound interconnectedness of the elements at play within the garden and serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the cannabis plants.

Did a Spray Feed with Aloe Pro Natural Nutes 1;5. 30/01/2024 Mid-day: Spread her out more and re arranged again. I need to leave this plant alone. I will prefect this growing technique, I see a few mistakes I made on guiding her, rushed it a little. Can't wait to see the back-end of this plant though, lol. All the mistakes are my fault, not the plant's obviously, but you know how it goes in the garden. Little voice: "I'm taking stock of all the errors and looking to learn from them. I know I've made some missteps with my organic soil and feeding schedule, and it's time to address these issues before my next attempt" I think the timing of my feeding schedule and letting the soil dry out has been off, which may have led to the proliferation of bad bacteria in the soil. Additionally, I suspect that the wire I've been using may be causing the plant to react negatively, resulting in what looks like a poison-induced response on her stalks and stems. I've also noticed some open wounds from overdone supercropping on my part. Researching on Cannabis Organic Soil Making: After some research, I've found that making quality organic soil for cannabis cultivation requires a deep understanding of soil composition, nutrient cycles, and microbial activity. Using organic compost is essential to provide the right blend of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to support the plant's growth. By making my own organic compost, I can ensure that it's free from any harmful contaminants and tailored to the specific needs of cannabis plants. Furthermore, I've learned that the soil needs to be well-aerated to ensure proper drainage and air circulation for the roots. This is important for maintaining a healthy microbial population in the soil, which facilitates nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It seems that my soil may have become compacted and lacking proper aeration, which could be contributing to the issues I've been experiencing. According to my research, the feeding schedule for cannabis plants is crucial, especially when working with organic soil. I've realized that I need to be more attentive to the timing and frequency of feeding to prevent the soil from drying out excessively, as this can disrupt the balance of beneficial microorganisms. From what I've read, trying to maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil is key to ensuring the well-being of these microorganisms, which in turn supports the health of the plants. Concerning the use of wire, I've come to understand that certain materials can have negative effects on plants. In my case, it seems that the wire I've been using may be leaching harmful substances into the soil, resulting in the plant's adverse reaction. I'll need to look for alternative methods for supporting the plants to avoid any further issues. Dealing with a Sensitive Haze Strain: I've also discovered that the Haze strain I've chosen to grow can be quite sensitive to its environment and feeding regimen. This can make it more prone to reacting negatively to any irregularities or contaminants in the soil. I've definitely underestimated the level of care and attention this strain requires, especially when it comes to feeding. This is a valuable lesson to keep in mind for my future growing endeavors. Moving Forward: Taking this step back and doing the research has shed a lot of light on the mistakes I may have made. Going forward, I plan to make necessary adjustments to my approach. Firstly, I'm going to focus on creating a high-quality organic compost to ensure that the soil is rich in beneficial microbes and free from any harmful substances. I'll pay close attention to the moisture levels and aeration of the soil, as well as refining my feeding schedule to better suit the needs of the sensitive Haze strain. In addition, I'll seek out alternatives to the wire support I've been using, to eliminate any potential sources of contamination for the plant. In conclusion, I'm encouraged by the opportunity to learn from these challenges and improve my growing techniques. As frustrating as it can be to face setbacks, I believe that overcoming them will ultimately make me a better grower. I'm looking forward to applying these insights and making the necessary changes in my approach to achieve better results in the futurE. 31/01/2024 Midnight for the plant time: I've lowered temps: 21c at night, 24C Daytime: should help will healing and recovery.

I hope these jokes bring a smile to your face as you read through this diary of 😠madness! https://youtu.be/ZttOQlqgiGA

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !
