26.1.25:
I have had a mistake 😕 I spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣
However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed.
All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3.
Containing the following nutrients;-
♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed
♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag
♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys.
♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP.
Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy.
I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑
I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST.
Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3.
We will soon see!
28.1.25:
My PH pen has packed up 😣
I've got to wait to get another.
It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it.
Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅
I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished.
29.1.25:
I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent.
There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes.
I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣
So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling.
I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation!
My light was much further away than I thought!
I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away.
After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here.
I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary.
Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me.
It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅
30.1.25:
So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise.
It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not.
I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor.
I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused.
I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner.
I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣
Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots.
Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered.
31.1.25:
The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen.
Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet.
I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water.
May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys.
Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings.

BIG UPDATE THIS WEEK !!!
----------------------------------
FEEDING MISTAKE / TRANSPLANTING THE PLANT
-------------------------------------------------------
Last week, the plant was showing some feeding issue (some burned tips).
After discussing with another grower ( @Asnoriu ) and carefully listening his advices, I decided to transplant the queen to a bigger pot.
16L can be ok, but I had a long veg (10 weeks), and this was getting too small for the lady. So starting from now, I will always transplant before flowering, since I understood & learned how it help the plant to develop good roots network.
The plant probably suffered from too much feeding with Fish-mix. Asnoriu told me He was using it at 50% of the recommend dose, and not at each watering.
This totally make sense, especially when i look back at my first grow : I used no fish-mix during almost all the veg, and she grow verry well. My gardening soil was probably rich enough for my plants!
I transplanted the plant to a bigger pot (16L -> 30L) and filled the new pot with Biobizz All-Mix soil.
I took the plant from the old fabric pot like if it was a sock : what a niiiice and easy technic ! (Thanks again Asnoriu).
Watered with pure water (ph at 6.2-6.5), without any nutrients (All-mix is already rich enough). I will feed again in 1-2 weeks.
BIG ERROR WHEN APPLYING LST BACK IN THE NEW POT
---------------------------------------------------------------
I had to remove my strings (LST) to switch to the new Pot. When I was applying the LST again in the new pot, I went too far with tension... And the main-lining broke 😟
So I fixed it verrry quickly by releasing LST tension, and using a string to tight the stem where it broke. In less than 5 minutes it was fixed.
I was verry worried that it may have killed my queen.... But she didn't shown any sign of stunt, and 48h hours later, I can say that she look verry good. This doesn't slowed her.
She seems to grow faster since transplant, so all good :) So, note to myself : never try to LST when flowering started, or only verry carefully, with just littles adjustements.
SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT & LIGHT + TENT UPGRADE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm verry proud to announce that Mars Hydro ( @MarsHydroLED ) decided to sponsor me :)
So I received a TSW2000 (basically 2X the output of a TS1000), and a Mars Hydro tent (100cm x 100cm x 180cm)
That's PER-FECT, since I was already using a TS1000, which I bought because it was the best deal (price/quality) for me.
I'm verrrrry happy about it, and I feel verry lucky to be selected by Mars Hydro 🙌 This mean a lot to me. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm doing my best to improve myself and learn. Learning from the other, and sharing my experience, and being rewarded for that...
Damn, so cool 😍
MENTION
-----------
Once again, thanks a lot @Asnoriu
You are MY grower of the month, for sharing your ideas, opinions, and advices with me :)
WEEK DETAILS
----------------
- Day 79 : Watering 1L (ph 6.2 - 6.5) with feeding (as detailed in the week details)
- Day 82 : Transplanting from 16L pot to 30L pot. Broke stem, and repared it. Upgraded from Mars Hydro TS1000 to TSW2000 (2x more powerfull). Watered with pure water.
- Day 84 : Plant look verry great, and seems to stretch & flower faster :)

Well week 5 of bloom is complete, and this week brought a few challenges.
Humidity in my area has been through the roof, close to 100%. My heavy-duty equipment was struggling to bring my tent to acceptable late flowering levels, sometimes reaching over 60% RH, especially at night when the plant was respirating more.
Additionally, her pale yellow color, and leathery leaves didn't excite me too much. If you remember, we had a severe heat wave a couple of weeks ago, which contributed to that. But also, since I messed up the ScrOG training, and regrettably decided not to super-crop her, a fair share of the leaf problems were due to light stress as well, as I didn't want to sacrifice lower colas, so I let it go.
My biggest mistake this grow, was not paying attention to her the one day she decided to stretch nearly a foot, and was unable to be weaved into the net the next day without being snapped in half. My second biggest mistake is NOT snapping it in half, and letting it repair itself. I wouldn't have had nearly as much bleaching of leaves I think.
This week, and I'm assuming because nearly all chlorophyll was depleted from her fan leaves, I didn't notice much of any change from last week. Her buds seemed to be about the same mass, and the stigmas still had the same ratio of red to white coloration.
I suspected she was dead, or dying, or just...done. Not all genetics will transform all of their stigmas from white, and not all genetics will have their trichomes turn amber.
So, I did a few things to confirm that suspicion.
First, I looked at her trichomes on various buds closely with a microscope. They were almost all cloudy, with very very few amber. That told me that she was at an acceptable level of ripeness, even if she could have went longer, assuming she was still alive.
Next, I removed the pea gravel mulch I was using in the raised bed, so I could get a closer look at the soil she was growing in, and more specifically, her roots. The soil, although moist a few inches deep, was not at the level I expected, and I think I have not been watering her enough. I don't think I'll be using a gravel mulch again. On the plus side, it did help prevent fungus gnats, as there was zero the whole grow, apart from an early week when I placed some solo cups to germinate on top of the bed, but after removing them, the fungus gnats disappeared with them.
Also while inspecting the soil, I carefully dug down to inspect some of her primary roots. They were actually dry, despite the surrounding soil being moist. This could explain why she wasn't drinking much if any for the better part of the week.
So, given her dry foliage, dry roots, and ripe-enough trichomes, I decided it was time to harvest her, earlier than expected. Let's also not forget that I was frightened this week with some high humidity scares, so growing longer, and possibly for no reason if she was dead or barely alive, was not in the cards. I've dealt with my fair share of bud rot before, and I would rather try what I have of her now, than to wait the extra week or so for her to be fully ripe.
So, that is what I did, on the last day of the week -- I chopped her down, cut off some larger fan leaves, and hung her upside down. This, of course, was after removing the raised bed. It took me a while to empty about 45 gallons of soil so I could move it, but in doing so, I noticed a lot of beneficial critters, and nothing bad. Such critters included small centipedes, which feed on other insects, and soil mites which eat dead organic matter.
I set the tent to dry at around 72F and 55 RH. And now we wait for about a week before trimming.
One thing is for sure -- I am very proud of this grow, despite all these flaws. She smells incredible -- like pure citrus emanating throughout my house. This is a very strong-smelling plant.
As a bonus, I've included a time-lapse video of the entire grow from start to finish in the last media above. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I'll be back for the harvest week for the dry weight in about a week or so, after we're done drying and trimming.

Week 2 – Normal growth, just still small
She’s coming along nicely. Growth looks healthy and steady – nothing explosive yet, but that’s expected this early. Starting to push out her second set of true leaves. Color is good, leaves are perky. Everything looks on track so far, just early-stage growth. Let’s see how she takes off in the coming days

This week the photoperiod girls continued to show steady growth and healthy development. Their leaves are a rich green, with wide blades and strong node stacking. The plants are branching nicely without excessive stretch, which means the 18-inch, 50% light setting is still working perfectly.
The cover crop has taken off and is providing great soil protection, though it may need some trimming soon to prevent light competition. Humidity and pest prevention measures (sticky traps, nematodes applied earlier) are keeping things stable with no major pest pressure noted.
On the feeding front, the plants have been living off the nutrients in their soil with no deficiencies showing. The plan is to water with silica tonight (Sept 3) to strengthen cell walls and prep them for training. Topping is scheduled this week as well — this will help shape the canopy and encourage even bushier growth moving into later veg.
Overall, Week 4 has been smooth and productive. The plants are thriving in their environment, setting the stage for training and stronger structural development in Week 5.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis
Pour la germination j'utilise la technique du sopalin
Pour faire germer vos graines dans du sopalin, vous aurez besoin :
Un Tupperware avec couvercle
Du Sopalin, ou autre quel papier de cuisine qui soit épais et qui retienne l’eau
Un verre d’eau
Si c’est l’hiver, vous placerez le Tupperware près d’une Box ou d’un Modem pour donner un peu de chaleur
Étapes de la germination:
faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin
La première chose à faire est de tapisser le fond du Tupperware avec du sopalin, 2-3 feuilles suffiront. Si vous ne mettez qu’une feuille, elle captera peu d’eau et pourra sécher, vous mettrez donc plus de feuilles que pas assez.
Une fois les feuilles placées, versez l’eau du verre dessus, mais pas trop, juste de quoi imbiber toute la surface couverte par les feuilles. Vous aurez ainsi l’eau suffisante pour faire germer les graines sans avoir besoin d’essorer la feuille de papier.
Une fois les feuilles humidifiées, mettez vos graines par-dessus, et recouvrez le tout avec une autre couche de quelques serviettes. Une fois en place, humidifiez cette nouvelle couche.
faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin
Lorsque vous graines seront placées entre les 2 couvertures de feuilles, fermez le Tupperware hermétiquement pour que l’eau reste bien dedans et que l’ensemble ne sèche pas malgré la chaleur.
Si vous êtes en hiver lorsque vous mettrez vos graines à germer, ou que les températures sont inférieures à 20°C, vous placerez le Tupperware sur votre Box ou modem jusqu’à germination, mais toujours en évitant le contact avec la lumière. Si vous êtes dans une zone au climat tempéré ou chaud, vous n’aurez qu’à placer le récipient avec les graines à l’ombre dans une armoire ou une caisse de rangement. Toutes les 24h, vous devrez vérifier l’état d’avancement de la germination. Si quelques-unes sont sorties mais pas d’autres, prenez celles qui ont germé pour les planter, laissez les autres dans le Tupperware et vérifier de nouveau le lendemain.

Day 49 - Clearly she's starting to get to the end of the life-cycle. The nutrient reserves are being used up in the leaves, although I also suspect a bit of nutrient lockout as well. Today only gave PH'ed water. After taking another look at the trichomes today, I'm starting to wonder if she really is ready for harvest yet or not 😅 I guess I'll take another video in a few days and see how they look then. The pistils are curling in though now, so that's one sign that harvest is getting closer.
Day 53 - Watered again today; she was a little droopy 😳 PH was about 6.05
And took another video of the trichomes...a good one this time. And what do you know...plenty of the trichomes still look clear AF, although I do notice some amber ones. Going to wait until at least next week for sure now to harvest.

Switched over to bloom Booster tablets now the preflowers are showing
I think the roots have filled the pots as they drink it dry every day! Especially the tallest!
No LST just a few fans nipped of or the odd blade that's blocking light has been removed, and its helped!
My HPS is leeching calcium from my tops but the bloom booster has 40% more cal/mag in them so we should be good. I just rotate the plants and it seems to get the green back in the leaves.
Its technically 6 weeks from sprout BTW.
Thanks for watching, any tips feedback welcome.
Update- so the stretch hasn't stopped. 5" since Friday, I thought I was guna get small autos lol
So I decided to do some lollipoping on all the plants And some defoliation. I've supercropped the death out of my Trouble plant, I mean every branch even the top! but she's back on track and growing again! Will update Friday!

FBT2402 had a rough life. She had mites the whole grow. She was already flowering when I figured it out. So I could not treat the flower then. She has a strong piney, citrus, and sweet smell. It looks like it will be a few ounces once it is all done. Thank you Fast Buds, Medic Grow, Xpert Nutrients, and Athena. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻

Week 4: Continued Growth and Training
Hello dear Weed friends,
welcome to my fourth weekly report on my exciting grow with four different strains: Lemon Gelato, Orange Sherbert, Apple Fritter and Bruce Banner.
This week I learned a lot and continued to care for and promote my plants.
I took the following steps:
I applied LST (Low Stress Training) to all plants to improve their shape and let more light reach the lower branches.
I topped the Apple Fritter several times, as it grows the fastest . I hope that this will result in many thick buds.
I topped the other three strains only on the main stem to allow them more side branches.
The plants look good, even though I sometimes doubt whether I am doing everything right. But I am confident that they will be even stronger and more beautiful in 1-2 weeks.
My next goal is to repot the plants in larger pots in 2 weeks and attach a net in the tent. This should help me distribute the plants evenly and use the space optimally. I also want to avoid having such a mess in the tent as last time. That made harvesting very difficult.
Another highlight this week was buying a new lamp: the Lumatek 300 Watt Pro Edition. This lamp is simply fantastic! It has a great illumination, a high efficiency and a cool look. It looks like a UFO! I am very happy with this investment and gave my old lamp to my brother. So it stays in the family.
I water my plants as needed with 1 liter of water each, to which I add 100 percent of the recommended fertilizer schedule. I use all options of the fertilizer, which you can read in the fertilizer directory.
I would also like to show you my timelapse video that I have been making since the first week. The video shows you how my plants have changed from week to week. It is really impressive to see how they have grown. I will update the video every four weeks and show you the latest video.
I hope you enjoyed my report and are looking forward to the next weeks. See you soon!

Today marks the 7th week of flowering for my cannabis plant, and it's truly fascinating to observe the changes that are taking place.
The stretching phase has officially come to an end, and now the plant is fully focused on developing its buds.
I can see that the buds are starting to swell and gain size, which is a promising sign of a healthy flowering process.
I've adjusted the feeding schedule with BioBizz products to match the plant's current needs.
Overall, the plant looks healthy and vigorous. The pistils are turning a beautiful shade, and the resin production is beginning to increase.
I’m excited to see how the buds will continue to develop over the next few weeks. I’ll keep monitoring closely and make sure everything stays on track.
Be excited for the coming weeks 💚🌱🌱
