10.02. F22 Day 22 of flower and things are looking absolutely world-class. The stretch is finally starting to slow down. I began applying HST at around 1.03 m, carefully bending the tops to control vertical growth. Without intervention, I’m convinced these ladies would have easily pushed toward 1.30 m or more. The vigor is unreal. The canopy is now much more controlled and evenly distributed — exactly what I was aiming for. Honestly, this is by far my strongest grow so far. Everything just aligns perfectly right now. The AutoPots are running flawlessly, the BioTabs nutrients are performing exceptionally well, and the genetics from Paradise Seeds are simply outstanding. The plants are powerful, healthy, and full of energy. There’s not much more to say — it’s one of those moments where you just stand in front of the tent and think: this is it. I’m beyond excited to see how this finishes. Can’t wait for the end result.

V8, supuestamente hoy haría transplante a los maceteros definitivos, pero, hace 3 días que las plantas están presentando hojas débiles y dobladas hacia abajo, en un principio pensé en que podría ser exceso de agua, pero creo que es exceso de nutrientes, básicamente exceso de nitrógeno, ya que las hojas están con un verde muy oscuro y algunas están presentando manchas color café. Así que hoy les hice lavado de raíz, con agua EC 0, hasta que el drenaje fue de cercano a 4 EC. Esperaré unos días a ver si se recuperan, si no, simplemente las eliminaré y empezaré de nuevo, ojalá se recuperen. V9, al final si era exceso de nutrientes/nitrógeno, menos mal que se recuperaron con el lavado de raíces, pensé que morirían, ahora veré como siguen para decidir si hago transplante hoy mismo. V10, se realizó trasplante a macetas definitivas y un riego suave. Las plantas están todavía en recuperación, esperaré unos días más para empezar el LST. V12, riego. V13, se realizó una pequeña defoliación y LST.

4/18: I transplanted her into a 1-gallon pot and gave her a little water with endoboost, humic acid, silica, and molasses, then I foliar fed her a couple of times. 4/19: I foliar fed again today and gave her a splash of spring water. 4/20: She's growing well now. I fed her her first full-strength batch of nutes..a little early, but fuck it..if she likes it, maybe she'll catch up to the #6 and #7 FFT seedlings. 4/22: I FIM'd her today and gave her about 20oz of water with cal-mag, humic acid, and boomerang and foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. Later, I rinsed off all the plants with a stiff stream of filtered water in preparation for tomorrow. 4/23: Today was BoomBoom Spray day! I just love how visible the growth is the day after a BoomBoom Spray day!😲 Tomorrow I'll spray her down with Axiom Harpin a|b proteins. Tomorrow, I'll probably move her into my little tent for another week or so. Then she's gonna take off... to the great outdoors. 4/25: I fed her a good dose of everything. I think I've decided to grow her and the #7 in my tiny tent and train them out a little bit, so she might turn out pretty nice. That's it for week 3 for this plant..

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon. Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned. Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

3-24 Silica 1.5, cal/mag 6, micro 6, flowers 6, frost nugs 3, green sensation 1.5, slf 1.5, drops 1.5 ppm in 710 ph 6.0 Runoff 1375 ph 6.9 She still rockin 🤘 3-27 6ml cal/mag, 1.5 ml slf-100, 1.5ml drops of balance, 1/2 tsp recharge. She will get a full feed, next feed. Gave recharge b/c she only got cal/mag, so why not do some good while washing out salts. Ppm in 325 ph 6.0 Out 995 ph 7.0 See how she do 😁🤘

Day 88 – Botanical Simplicity, Natural Strength 🌿🌞 The journey of this plant continues to unfold as a true outdoor minimalist grow. With nothing but sun, air, and a single black fabric pot nested in a white bucket, she has proven the power of natural light and biological momentum. After thriving through the UK’s recent heat wave and absorbing up to 2000 μmol/m²/s of sunlight, her structure has matured into a strong, well-formed canopy with vigorous apical dominance and defined lateral colas. Her lush green leaves show excellent health overall, though some lower yellowing is now visible — an expected and natural sign as she redirects energy into flower production. The Bat Guano top-dressing from 08.06 seems to have fueled the transition into mid-flower with solid nitrogen-phosphorus support. Bud development is now advancing daily with visibly expanding calyx clusters and well-stacked nodes. This diary is not about chasing perfection — it’s a living testament to how far you can get by trusting the rhythm of the elements. No boosters, no artificial lighting, no stress. Just patience, observation, and a little care. Nature grows. We observe. 🌱📓

So the bud pretty much matched the size of the pot! Super tiny grow at 80ml of soil! Pretty frosty and dense considering the size of the pot! Smells like lemon too! Just chopped her down and will have a harvest report on my assuming 4 grams of dried bud! Fun tiny grow! ✌️💚🌿💨

Cloudy week, still growing nicely, from my 3 plants this recoverder the best from topping. Began LST. Almost broke a lower branche hope it holds on.

Natural grow with all the cloudy,rain und Sun hours

Harvest — Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized by Seeds Mafia After 117 days from seed, our Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized has reached harvest — and what a journey it has been! The plant matured into a stunning structure, with dense, resin-soaked buds and that unmistakable Amnesia aroma: citrusy, spicy, and uplifting. We trained her under a SCRoG net, which helped to maximize light penetration and support the heavy colas. She responded beautifully, growing strong and full of energy. 🌡️ Day temp: 25–26°C 🌙 Night temp: 20–21°C 💧 Humidity: ~45% 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💨 CO₂ supplementation 🌱 Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients (full cycle) We couldn’t wait — and tried a quick sample dried in the microwave. The effect was intense, fast-hitting, and long-lasting — a true turbo Amnesia experience! Easily one of the most powerful sativa-dominant strains we've grown. Huge thanks to Seeds Mafia for the top-tier genetics, and to Xpert Nutrients for the professional-quality fertilizers that helped bring this beauty to her full potential. We’re beyond satisfied with the results and can’t wait to enjoy the full cure!

Very near now just need some Amber, samples look and smell great.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) All three of these plants are progressing nicely. Fattening up and smelling wonderful! It rained for most for the day....again...😣 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: Rained again tonight.. I had to pick up a couple of them while removing a couple of other plants, and they are still heavy. I might be able to wait until Monday to feed again, which might be enough time for me to get the RH back down a little bit. All three of these plants got too tall for my space and are really showing signs of light burn..mainly from the UVB I think. They were already pretty pale, so they burned easy....but those buds are dense and stinky! 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

Such Bittersweet Joy Added this week as ‘Flowering’ although technically should be harvested as I but I haven’t had a chance to weigh or anything. I will do that next week once trimmed etc. So finally cut them down on D89, it was a beautiful day outside and it just felt right. Although when it came to the deed itself I felt sadder than I thought I would for my girls and the time we had together. All 6 (I’m growing another 3 different strains but not included on this diary) are now hanging to dry in the tent. Temp -18 C; Humidity-60% seems to be holding steady with no tinkering thankfully. After the 3 days they have all dried noticeably, perhaps 4/5 more before trimming / curing. I’ve had quite a close look at most of the harvest and as far as this noob can tell, there doesn’t seem to be any issues with mould / bud rot. Fingers remain crossed. I did have one very profound moment this week... It happened as I was surveying the harvest hanging up for the first time. I could feel my mindset change suddenly from the constant paranoia over their health and overcoming my impatience to “I actually have a crap load of weed”. It was beautiful beautiful moment... Thanks for reading. Have a great week 😊
