Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

9 week Smells excellent, sweetly and fruity. Begin change color from green to rose . Looks really wonderful. Starting prepare for harvest. Last nutrition at the end of this week. Then flash

Gorilla Cookies Auto - Fastbuds And 2 random Cookies and Cream seeds Very excited for this new grow SF1000 ~40% ; 30 cm Germination GC on 09.01.2023

Formerly "Outdoor Spring Failure (Autos)" ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── 11/06/2021 Day 70 - First day of the 11th week. Last update before harvest. Lot of sun but also lot of rain this week. Had to check weather constantly to move the babies in the shelter in case of storm, since I don't want water causing moisture in the buds. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. They are so cute. - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Day 52-64 (Day 54) I’m going to thoroughly inspect each plant and remove bananas if found. So far it’s only been the one on #7 but I don’t want to take a chance. I’m also going to give a watering with some runoff. (Day 55) Can’t find anymore bananas but that one. I will probably find a few bag seeds but who knows. It’s way too late for pollen to really have effect anyway. These 5 plants finish nice and early compared to my other tent flipped on the same day. I would never take this strain 65+ days like last time. I would do 56-60 days next time I flower this strain (Day 58) Holy shit this tent is fading like crazy now. They are starting to show some beautiful autumn colors. #1 #5 and #7 are definitely done. #3 and #6 could use a little more time so I’ve decided to take them down on the 24th. I haven’t seen anymore bananas and the one that popped out on #7 has shriveled up and receded. (Day 63) I’m seeing what look like seed pods starting to form in some of the main colas on my picture perfect pheno. #7 is showing 3 or 4 little bananas too. All of the top buds are definitely done so I’m going to harvest as soon as the lights come on tomorrow. I’m going to give one last watering right now and then harvest. I’ve noticed that harvesting a watered plant will extend the dry time by a few days and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. A nice slow dry. Plants are being full plant hung + dry trimmed and tent is being kept at 60-65 degrees and 60-65% RH. Cutting everything down was a pain in the ass. I had to individually cut each square the scrog net so it wouldn’t contract and squish all the buds. I chopped down my other tent as well so I have no other plants in flower right now.

5/10 Got up super early for wife's appointment at 7 came home and transplanted 4 of the purple punches. Transplants went good. Soil was too dry and a couple fell right in the hole but I was messing around showing my dad. It just got dropped in the hole a little harder lol. The other that happened to is fine though. Definitely make sure your soil is moist enough before transplanting. My transplanting technique for 3 gallon is to put soil on bottom. Set cup in at appropriate distance then replace cup with plant with soil filled cup and fill around it. Leaves the perfect hole. Then you just snip the cups twice on each side, peel it down and fold the cup down and cradle the bottom and in the hole it goes! Holes have mykoscand a little like water. I water a little after transplant. I misted soil whole mixing it up. 5/11 Dad left the windows open last night "because the soil smell was bothering Lynda." I couldn't ficking believe it. They were all fine when I got back but still. Everything is transplanted into 3 gallon containers bit that 1 purple punch that is a little bit dwarfed. I looked at the bottom of the cup and drainage wasn't as good. Must've been the last cup and the jail didn't go all the way through in a couple places. I increased the drainage on that little dwarf and I'll transplant it when I get time. We are going to have some good weather coming up. I need to get my cage moved, my bags sanitized and get on a good watering routine. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's dry as fuck but the leaves are uo and every one of them looks happy so I'm holding off watering. I'll start with a quart probably tomorrow. Also cleaned out tge cage and secured the handles to move it. Only thing left is cleaning and sanitizing. These girls have a south facing window and they LOVE it. It was 80 today. I hope we have an early season. 5/12 Transplanted the last purple punch today. I could easily tell the problem was drainage. It was the last cup I had stacked when I drove the nail threw so it didn't pierce all the way the the other slips and tac holes apparently weren't enough. Used mykos and same soil mixture. Soil was extremely dry. I lifted a pot with dry soil and these were heavier. Commercial buddy said to start with a quart a pliant and see how it goes but I kind pussed out and only gave them 24fl 0z a plant. Half the quart. I asked if I should water more and he said to just wait and see how they like this water and up it to a quart next time maybe quart and a half. Im just leery of overwatering. When i watered SOME of them the water literally just sat there and took forever to absorb. Plants werent wilting though. Soon theyll be going outside during the day and in mdoors at night. UPDATE: Went back over at two and everything looks AMAZING. Healthiest looking plants I've grown. Leaves all pointed up. I'm taking my commercial dudes advice and hoping the water next watering. For now, they're doing amazing. 5/13 Everything is doing greatcso far. Gotta figure out when to start nutes. Considering adding silica but don't want to raise ph to much. I'll consult with others but my the soil blend I'm using is full of nutes. 5/14 Rushed morning and I wanted to water bit the plants looked great still. Sticking my hands deeper I can feel a little moisture deeper down or in the drain holes so I decided to give the blueberry cheese and the 10th planet a "touch of kindness" which was a small circle of water from a small watering can around the outside edge of whete the rootball should lid be. I'm working on getting a watering g schedule down. UPDATE: Went back over at five and everything was looking good with leaves praying. Maybe my half measure helped. Doubtful but still. Tomorrow I plan to water. Since the soil has tons of nites ill probably hold off a little while longer before starting the nutrient schedule. I want to make sure I've got the watering down first. One thing at a time. 5/15 The 10th planet and Blueberry Cheesecgot their first REAL watering since transplant. Still being cautious I watered 28fl Oz a plant. I phed the water with an indicator solution and ph down. I gave the purple punches a "cup of kindness" which was a circle of water around the transplant hole. Can't waif to get a watering schedule down. I wanted to start nutes but my soil is full of them and i believe it's too early. I didn't see ANY run off from this watering. I think that's good as I'm not looking to wash away the nutes in the expensive soil I use. I need to start HST as well but I'm doing things proper and "one at a time". That way if I run into a problem I'll know what I did and how to rectify it. At least I hope. UPDATE: Went back over at 3 leary that I may have "overwatered" but the plants ALL looked AMAZING and had shot up like an inch! Looking into hst and will probable fim a few. Top a few and leave one to grow naturally. Can't wait to see how these girls do outside. 5/16 Wow. Just wow. Plants are doing phenomenal! Since the watering went really well I watered the purple punch bit I only used about 16fl Oz as the plants were a little smaller than the others. I'll up it to a quart next time like I did with the others. I want to USE the nutes in my soil so im not washing them all away by watering to run off. I topped 2 10th planet's and FIMed one of them. I want to see how the respond then I'll begin training the others. Off to a Great Start! 5/17 Glad I held off watering. It's raining today. Just showers. We haven't gotten any of that extreme wind we usually do. I have the plants supported but I still worry. Definitely more than I should. Plants are still doing good and acclikatimg to their new homes.

Eccoci arrivati al termine.complimenti a me per il risultato..devo dire che speravo fossero un poco più cariche in peso ma va benissimo i fiori sono belli grandi, compatti e con un profilo terpenico buonissimo...w fast buds

Hallo und Herzlich Willkommen zurück zur Cherry Cola RF3 von Fastbuds 😸 Die letzte Woche war das Wetter sehr wechselhaft, was die Pflanze aber nicht daran gehindert hat ordentlich zu wachsen 👌. Ich habe die ganze Woche über die Seitentriebe unter den großen Blättern hervor geschoben. Dadurch sollen die Seitentriebe mehr Sonnenlicht bekommen. Während meines Low Stress Training ist mir aufgefallen das sich die ersten Blüten zeigen 😍 Aktuell trinkt die Pflanze alle 2 Tage 1 liter Gießwasser. Den pH-Wert Stelle ich auf 6,2 ein . Mit 5ml Blüte Dünger auf 1 Liter Gießwasser komme ich auf einen EC-Wert von 1,6 mS. Ich hoffe euch und euren Pflanzen geht's gut 😁 Bis zur nächsten Woche 👋

Iris is definitely a tough fighter. All the ladies showed what they can do this week. I'm very excited to see what happens next. Everything looks very good.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto — Week 11 From Seed (Week 7 Flower) 12/12 from seed — controlled environment, natural expression ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Lesson to Balance Last week reminded us of something fundamental: Not every plant finishes the race. One was removed—not as a failure, but as a decision to protect the system. And that decision allowed everything else to continue without compromise. Now, the focus is clear: 👉 Energy goes to the thriving plants 👉 The room breathes better 👉 The system stabilizes And what we’re seeing now… reflects that immediately. ⸻ 🌿 The Garden Now — Structured Power The remaining plants are not just “doing well”— They are locked in. * Buds stacking with intent * Structure holding weight * Leaves rich, deep green * Uniformity across the canopy This is what happens when: environment + root health + light = alignment ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development — From Growth to Density We are now fully in the mass accumulation phase. * Calyxes swelling and pushing outward * Buds tightening and gaining weight * White pistils (hairs) still active → signals ongoing growth ✦ White Hairs (Pistils) Those bright white hairs are not decoration— They are active receptors, still reaching, still building. 👉 As long as they stay white and upright: the plant is still pushing forward ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — Where Quality Is Built Now we enter the most underestimated phase. * Resin heads forming and multiplying * Cannabinoid and terpene production increasing * Surface becoming visibly “frosted” This is not just aesthetics— this is the plant finalizing its chemical profile. ⸻ 🌈 Color & Expression — The Signature of Health This run is speaking clearly through color: * Deep, saturated greens → strong nitrogen balance * Bright pistils → active metabolism * No early fade → engine still running 👉 No stress colors. No confusion. Just clarity in expression. ⸻ 🌿 The Inner Jungle — Controlled Chaos Even with defoliation and lollipopping: The plant keeps building inside itself. That internal jungle: * Holds humidity * Restricts airflow if unmanaged * Can become a risk zone late flower Which is why this stage becomes less about cutting… and more about managing air and space. ⸻ 💨 Airflow — The Invisible Protector This is where your setup shines. * Vortex movement (primary airflow) * Cross ventilation (breaking stagnant pockets) Purpose: → Prevent microclimates → Avoid moisture buildup inside buds → Reduce risk of mold, mildew, bud rot At this stage, airflow is not optional— it’s crop protection. ⸻ 💡 Light Strategy — More Than Just Intensity This is where your grow moves into a different level. ☀️ Top Light (Primary Driver) * Main energy source * Drives photosynthesis and bud development 🔽 Under Canopy Lighting * Supports lower bud sites * Reduces larf * Improves uniformity ⸻ 🔴 Spectrum Control — The Fine Tuning Far Red / Deep Red * Influences plant signaling (end-of-day responses) * Can support flower maturation and stretch control UVA / UVB * Mild stress → increased resin production * Encourages trichome density 👉 Used correctly, these are not “boosters” They are signals. And right now, your plants are clearly responding well. ⸻ 👀 The Grower’s Role — Observation Phase This is that moment. It looks like: → watering → checking → repeating But in reality: 👉 You are reading the plant daily 👉 You are preventing problems before they exist 👉 You are choosing not to interfere And that… is skill. ⸻ 🧠 What This Week Really Is This week is not about action. It’s about: * Awareness * Stability * Patience Because at this stage: Overdoing = damage Understanding = yield + quality ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next (Week 8 Flower) ✦ Expect: * Increased bud density * More visible trichome coverage * Pistils slowly transitioning (white → darker tones) * Potential first signs of fade (depending on feeding) ✦ Watch closely: * Internal humidity * Airflow effectiveness * Any early signs of bud rot (especially deep in colas) ⸻ 🤝 Shoutout — From Grower to Growers To everyone following: The OGs, the new ones, the silent watchers, the loud supporters, the skeptics, the learners, the ones trying, failing, improving… To the platform. To the genetics behind this expression. To the environment that allows it. To the sponsors supporting the journey. And to everyone putting in work when nobody is watching. ⸻ Special Mention — Mr. Baggy Out there on assignment. Smoking joints, documenting, observing… probably seeing things we don’t. Real field work. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thought Last week showed what happens when the root system fails. This week shows what happens when everything aligns. Same room. Different outcomes. Because in the end— The plant doesn’t lie. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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 💚 📸 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.

On the last week of veg, since the other 2 babies in the tent are bouncing back. Super excited to flip, also I addressed the ongoing magnesium issue from the last few weeks as you can see it's all new healthy growth (give or take a little tip burn) but ay "if ya tips aren't burning, you not growing!" Hahhaa. Getting super stacked up, defoliated a little finger some light to inner canopy as well as lollipopped it a bit! Left about 3-5 nodes of nugs per branch. Should be about 6-7 nodes of nugs when I flip over to flower.

Hello. This is the end of week 11 and the beginning of week 12 of veg. The plants are filling out their spaces out nicely. I keep pushing down the branches, under the rungs and spreading them out. Still got a few weeks till I'm going to force flowering by closing up the tent at 8 pm and opening it at 8 am. The plant has a tangy smell to it when I work with it. OK. Keep Growing Straight.

Very good strain to grow would recommend to everyone, very beautiful hash flavours taste dense buds definitely going to grow again

Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. 🙏 The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

A jsme na konci... Palice zmohutněly že už se ani neudrží bez opory, krásně to voní a celkem dost to lepí takže jméno Sticky celkem sedí. Možná to chvilku vypadalo ze toho moc nebude ,ale to co jedna slečna neměla na objemuydohnala na výšce a krásně celou větev zaplnila,Zálivka byla za poslední týden už jen jedna, s minimem základních hnojiv spolu s Green Sensation ph 6.2, Ec 1.9. Světlo až dokonce na 100% ,vlhkost 55%. Zhruba třetina trichomů už je jantarová takže je jasné že tady má cesta končí, kdybych to měl shrnout tak za mě super, žádné problémy jsem neměl ,jedna větev už prošla koštovacím procesem a jak říkám, nestěžuju si 😀. Příští týden až to oschne, udělám poslední foto a snad se to bude líbit i někomu jinému a né jen mě. Ať to roste 🖖

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

So it’s been hot and dry storm came throw didn’t seem bother any of the feed some blood meal and bone mean and the same stuff I use lee do it smell o so sweet can’t wait

🌱 Runtz - Week 1 Update 🌱 The journey has officially begun, and I’m thrilled to report that everything is off to a smooth start! The seeds germinated quickly and showed no issues breaking through the soil. Healthy and vigorous growth is already visible, which is always an encouraging sign. The seedlings are now standing strong, with their first leaves fully open and soaking up the light. It’s exciting to see this strain already showing its potential! Looking forward to seeing how they progress over the next week. Wishing all the growers in this competition continued success with their own grows! Let’s keep pushing 🙌

Gradually, Gorilla Cookies begins to extract the nutrients from the leaves. it is impressive how much resin it produces. Hopefully she will do well in the last few weeks.
