This week, I started using Plagron Green Sensation. Independently of that, the plant began to show slight deficiency symptoms in its foliage. The leaves became increasingly pale, and the tips started to discolor. As far as I understand, one of the components of Green Sensation is potassium. Since then, the plants have been doing significantly better. Growth has also increased considerably. However, the pre-flowering phase is still progressing slowly.Runtz has been an amazing genetic so far. The leaves look absolutely fantastic—healthy and large.Currently, the plant has reached a height of 75 cm, which is quite a lot by my standards, despite the high PPFD values of 600-700 µmol.

Week 2 & 3 Veg Report: Runtz Battle 🌿🔥 Hey, green enthusiasts and fellow growers! 🌱✨ We’re diving into weeks 2 and 3 of our Runtz Battle, and it’s been a thrilling ride! From transplanting to new pots to experimenting with nutrient setups, there’s a lot to cover. Let’s dive into the details and celebrate the progress of our green champions! Week 2 Progress 🌟 In the second week, our Runtz plants showed tremendous growth and resilience. Here’s a snapshot of what’s been happening: • Growth Surge 🚀: • Both Runtz strains exhibited rapid growth with robust stems and lush foliage. Their healthy, vibrant green leaves are a testament to their thriving condition. • Leaf Development 🌿: • New leaves are expanding, and the plants are absorbing nutrients efficiently, laying a solid foundation for future development. Transplant to Final Pots 🌱✨ We’ve made a significant upgrade by transplanting our Runtz plants into their final 15L Autopots. Here’s the scoop on the transplant: • New Home 🌟: • The Runtz plants have been moved to spacious 15L Autopots, providing ample room for their roots to expand. This upgrade ensures they have the space to thrive and reach their full potential. • Soil and Nutrients 💧: • We’re using Pro Mix Mycorrhizae soil, which is rich in beneficial microbes and nutrients. To boost the soil’s fertility, we added 75 grams of Aptus All-in-One pellets, a touch of MycoMix, and a touch of MicroMix. This mix ensures a strong, healthy start with balanced nutrition and enhanced root development. Week 3 Progress 🌿💚 In week 3, the plants have absolutely loved their new environment and are showing remarkable growth: • Transplant Success 🚀: • The Runtz plants have adjusted beautifully to their new pots. They’re thriving, with enhanced growth and vitality, ready to take on the next phase. • Autopots Activation 🌟: • We’re now plugging in the Autopots and letting gravity do its thing. This efficient watering system ensures our plants receive consistent hydration with minimal effort. • Nutrient Strategy 🌿: • With the soil rich in biolife and nutrients, we’ll be focusing on using only Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir from now on. The plan is to test if these organic inputs, combined with the soil’s inherent nutrients, can sustain our plants through their growth cycle. LED Lighting & Climate Control 🌟🌡️ To support our Runtz plants, we’re using top-of-the-line equipment: • Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro 💡: • This powerful LED light provides full-spectrum illumination, ensuring our plants get the optimal light they need for vigorous growth. The compact design and high efficiency make it perfect for our setup, promoting healthy and even canopy development. • TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller 🌡️: • The TrolMaster Hydro-X is our go-to for precise climate control. With its 3-in-1 sensor, it monitors temperature, humidity, and light intensity, allowing us to maintain the perfect growing environment. This advanced controller ensures our plants stay in their ideal conditions, enhancing growth and overall health. The Excitement Ahead 🌱💚 As we move forward, we’re excited to see how our Runtz plants respond to their new environment and nutrient strategy. This experiment with organic soil and minimal added nutrients is sure to provide valuable insights and showcase the resilience and adaptability of our plants. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this green adventure!

Smells like new shoes lol I think I made a decent haul off 315 Watts the buds look frosted and I can’t wait to dry some. I knew what to expect in the coming weeks and if I run this again I think I’ll keep the plants shorter like last time. Highly recommend this Indica strain to anymore looking to make dry ice hash or solvent less! I’ll do the weigh in shortly0

Couple got a little burn I think maybe a little too much soil in there with the coco on top of the light feed? I got all the final pots filled up today they will go in 3 gal bags either today or tmm. It's a Greentree pro ultra coco/perlite mixed with some roots organic soil about 70/30.

🌱 Week 1 — LSD (Zamnesia Seeds) – 12/12 From Seed | Update & Observations ✨ Introduction & Gratitude A massive thank you to everyone supporting this project: • Zamnesia Seeds for the LSD feminized genetics. • Plagron for LightMix Bio and the nutrient line powering this run. • Future of Grow for the Air Grow Pro III 2.95 Hyper Red LED & Nova 2C Pro controller. • Cannakan for the germination bundle and clean start. • And of course — GrowDiaries community, followers, supporters, critics – all of you bringing energy to the project. Your presence transforms a simple grow into a full learning journey. ⸻ 🌱 Germination Success & Early Structure Many seeds germinated beautifully — strong, vibrant, full of potential. I’m officially cataloging two plants here on GrowDiaries, but behind the scenes I’m maintaining several siblings for phenotype observation and comparison. This run is 12/12 from seed, which creates a very specific growth pattern: During Week 1: • Plants remain very small (just a couple of centimeters). • Above-ground growth is minimal. • Below-ground activity is extremely high. This is expected — and intentional. ⸻ 🌘 Understanding 12/12 From Seed When a plant receives 12/12 from day one, the message is: “The season is ending soon — focus on rooting and survival.” So instead of stretching or building large leaves, she invests early energy into: • Expanding roots • Stabilizing her metabolism • Preparing for an early, compact flowering cycle • Setting the foundation before vertical growth begins From my past 12/12 tests, this is always the pattern: Weeks 1–3 = Root-building mode Then suddenly — they take off. This method produces smaller but extremely resinous plants with fast turnaround and interesting terpene expression. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Plagron Nutrient Strategy (Week 1) Even in Week 1 we’re feeding intentionally, because 12/12 requires an accelerated metabolic ramp. Water mix: • Terra Grow: 25 ml / 10 L • Power Roots: 1 ml / L • Pure Zym: 1 ml / L • Sugar Royal: 1 ml / L Foliar spray: • Vita Race: 2.5 ml / L Why this works: • Power Roots accelerates root mass — crucial for 12/12. • Pure Zym keeps soil active and helps nutrient absorption. • Sugar Royal boosts stress tolerance & vigor. • Terra Grow prevents early N deficiencies. • Vita Race strengthens the seedlings right away. This creates a balanced early nutrient environment for fast-cycle genetics. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Water Metrics Everything is stable and aligned with early root development: • EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.0 • Water temperature: 21–22°C • Room temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: 65–70% • CO₂: ~666 ppm (a number I personally enjoy 😄) This environment encourages rapid enzymatic activity, strong roots, and good nutrient flow. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – 500 PPFD From Day One We’re running 500 PPFD from the start, controlled by the Nova 2C Pro. Most growers start low… but in 12/12 from seed, higher PPFD ensures the plants receive enough total daily light early on. Why this works: • Ensures strong photosynthesis despite short photoperiod • Prepares the plants for higher PPFD later • Reduces stretch • Works extremely well with the Future of Grow Hyper Red spectrum The seedlings are responding exactly as expected — compact and healthy. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Weeks 2–3 • Slow, steady vertical growth • Leaf expansion • Root zone fully activates • First signs of hormonal shift toward pre-flower Weeks 4–5 • Miniature stretch phase • Formation of early bud sites • Structure hardens and prepares for flower stacking This run will produce compact, fast, resin-rich plants — perfect for demonstrating what’s possible with professional gear and alternative light cycles. ⸻ 📊 Metrics Being Tracked To keep this educational and transparent, we’re logging: • PPFD (currently 500) • Light height & dimmer percentage • Temperature / humidity / VPD • EC, pH, water temp • Feeding amounts & intervals • Growth progression, morphology, and structure • Differences between the official GD plants and the siblings ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 1 sets the foundation for an exciting 12/12 run with LSD from Zamnesia. This method is unconventional — but extremely rewarding when executed properly. And with: • High-quality genetics • Plagron nutrients • Professional-grade light from Future of Grow • Clean germination support from Cannakan • And an active, engaged community …this project becomes more than a grow. It becomes a shared learning experience. Thank you to everyone following, supporting, questioning, watching, and sending energy. You make this journey meaningful.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial NEW DISCORD - Official Server Invite Link : https://discord.gg/ksjAkA5T74 P.S.2- Due to the new platform restrictions on GrowDiaries, it wasn’t possible to upload all of the germination photos during the official germination week. To keep the documentation complete and transparent, those images are now being uploaded together with the rest of this week’s photos. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.

After a month they are doing quite good. Should be bigger by this time but well... there were problems on the way. It's good now ;) Middle one - Grandpa's Cookies is smallest and least branchy - but it was germinated almost 2 weeks after the rest so it's normal. Strawberry Cough is still weird and sicklish - but I hope it'll bounce back in the new soil. All of them were topped last week and the tallest - Strawberry Cough got some LST clips installed to make her more "ghrounded" ;)

Two girls one cup week 2.. thanks for stopping by and checking out my experiment :) no need to rotate them.. they're doing it all on their own 🤣. hit the girls a little hard with the light last week when i turned it up to warm things up in there. kinda blasted em with 22 DLI and the light may have caused the curling on the Godzilla Cookies. all is well, and theyre moving right along. light currently 18in up, and hitting them with 14 DLI. running the 1/2 strength GHE light feed week 2 since last sundays RES change. will prob keep this RES until this sunday. just top off and PH adjust 8am/8pm daily. kinda excited to see the explosion of growth throughout this week. 3rd true set popping out of both GC and WG, and started LST them their separate ways as early as possible. contemplating topping after 5th or 6th node. havent made up my mind as to when yet. we shall see. roots poking their way through the drainage holes in the bottom of the upper growing chamber. Will have to add a stone to the RES here in a few days time. GHE light feed 1/2 strength week 2 (measurements are per 2gal on 500 scale): Total nitrogen - 47.5 ppm PPM range - 200-275 ppm Spring Water/Tap mix - 220 ppm (calmag and hydroguard already added) Micro 3.6mL - 144 ppm Grow 3.4mL - 77 ppm Bloom 2.6mL - 41 ppm Total = 482 ppm GHE is pretty damn accurate on that ppm range huh? *so far they seem to be loving life.. sooner or later this light won't be able to keep up with their needs. Probably sooner with the rate they're going. *figured I keep them on the 1/2 strength week 2 GHE Flora feed for now. They've been moving right along, and I don't want to over feed em. Next RES change will get bumped up for sure. Made a nozzle for the reptile fogger since the one it had was made for a 1" hose. MUCH better distribution of moisture now. *Wedding Glue def showing signs of being under fed. Taking up more water than it needs to get those nutes. Causing droopy leaves. Hopefully she can wait until the start of week 3 for a bump up. *Nute levels dropping every 12h as expected. Going to crunch numbers tonight to see how much on a 12hr basis to see if we're ready to get bumped up. If so RES changes will be weekly still, just on the week mark instead of Sunday. *WG said fuck 5 leaves and went straight for 7! Crossing my fingers she gets 13 of em so I can break a personal record of 11. That is unless the ruderalis takes over and puts a stop to them multiplying every node. *****anyone got some pointers on how to go about getting a sponsorship? Could use a little 300w artificial sun to brighten up a cloudy day. And to finish these girls right.

Liebe Community🌱💚🍀, die Ice Cream Haze hat ihr Ziel mit einer immensen Geschwindigkeit erreicht! Ein unfassbar atemberaubender Strain. Schnell, kompakt und extrem aromatisch, mega Harzig und unfassbar schnell! Das Aroma überzeugt definitiv wieder mit Süßen und fruchtigen Noten, abgerundet von einer starken karamell Note. Bei der regulären Version stellte sich nach dem Curing eine eher stärkere Karamell Haze Note ein, was definitiv auch gut war. Allerdings erhofe ich mir dieses Mal auch eher einen fruchtigen, süßen Touch zu erhaschen. Das gesamte Haus richt nun nach süßem fruchtigen Cannabisduft 🍨🎉 Die Performance ist unfassbar schnell, seit dem Umstellen auf 12/12 sind gerade einmal 48 Tage bis zur Ernte vergangen. Und für die gezüchtet Pflanzengröße scheint der Ertrag durch aus im XL Bereich zu liegen. Nach dem Trimmen sind die Scheren super klebrig und mit viel Harz bedeckt. Top Strain! Top Performance. Stay Tuned💚
