End of week 5 for Orange Sherbet FF. This week was better than the last week. She Starting to bounce back from her issues she is taking her time in developing and stretching slowly. No signs of pre-bloom yet. I just fed her Goldleaf feterlizer and did some defoliation to the bad leaves. Hopefully week 6 is better.

The plants, especially the CBD starts yellowing. This could be due to the ph of 7. I will try to give water without nutrients to lower the ph. I added a little bit of lactic acid to the water. There are still signs of white flies, all the ladybugs have died. Im doubing to buy new ones and try to give them a house first in the propagator.

I love the sativa shaped nug-towers! When my plants grow big, I like to grow them until the very end of their cycle! That's why the extended flower period. Video of Measurement of yield: T=Tops(92grams), M=Mids(59.1 grams), L=Lowers(58.6grams) Total: 209.7 grams (1-2 grams worth, was taste-tested prior to scaling.)

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) The comeback story. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — The “Unhappy Girl” That Didn’t Quit This Sour Diesel started as the most challenged plant in the room. Slow growth, stress signals early on, and clearly behind her sisters. But plants don’t quit — they adapt. She stayed smaller (~60 cm), but instead of stretching for size, she focused on recovery and survival. And now, in Week 5 of flower, we’re seeing something special: 👉 A full metabolic comeback 👉 Active water uptake (~1.2L/day) 👉 Healthy flower development despite early setbacks This is why we document everything — not just perfection, but resilience. 🔬 Macro World — What We’re Really Seeing This week, we zoom in — literally. Macro photography shows us what the eye misses: ✨ Trichomes (The Frost Begins) • Tiny resin glands forming on sugar leaves and calyxes • At this stage: mostly clear → early cloudy • Function: • UV protection • Pest defense • Secondary metabolite production (terpenes, cannabinoids) 👉 This is the plant saying: “I’m protecting my flowers now.” ⸻ 🌸 Calyxes (The Core of the Flower) • The actual reproductive structure • Each calyx = potential seed site (if pollinated) • Now stacking and swelling slowly 👉 This is where your final yield is built. ⸻ 🌿 Pistils / White Hairs • These are stigmas, part of the female reproductive system • Their job: • Catch pollen • Signal reproductive maturity At Week 5: • Still mostly white → plant is actively building, not finishing • Upright and fresh → healthy hormonal signaling 👉 White pistils = growth mode 👉 Dark/orange pistils = maturity progression ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding (Dialed In) You kept it consistent — and that’s why she bounced back: • 🌡️ Temp: 28°C • 💧 RH: 60–65% • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • 🌬️ CO₂: ~1000 ppm • 🚰 Water intake: ~1.2L/day 👉 That water uptake is key — it tells us: roots are active → metabolism is running → recovery is real ⸻ 📸 Plant Structure & Expression • Smaller frame, but balanced structure • Bud sites forming across the plant • No wasted energy — everything is focused 👉 She didn’t win the height race… 👉 But she’s still in the quality game ⸻ 🧠 What This Plant Teaches Not every plant is a monster. Some are: • Stressed early • Slower to adapt • Smaller in size But with stability and patience: 👉 They recover 👉 They produce 👉 They surprise you This is grower discipline — not chasing perfection, but supporting the process. ⸻ 🎒 Official Introduction — Mr. Baggy He’s been around… now it’s official. Mr. Baggy is part of the team. From garden runs to studio sessions — always present. A reminder that even in serious work… 👉 we keep it human 👉 we keep it fun 👉 we keep it ours ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week (Week 6 Flower) • Calyx swelling will accelerate • Trichome production will increase visibly • Pistils may begin slight color change in some areas • Aroma profile will start developing deeper layers ⚠️ Key focus: • Watch EC → avoid pushing too hard now • Maintain airflow (density is coming) • Stay consistent — no big changes ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude From grower to growers: Big love to: • The GrowDiaries community • Everyone following — OGs & new • Supporters, challengers, silent watchers And to the people behind the tools: • Plagron • Zamnesia • The lights above us ⸻ 🌱 Closing She started as the weakest in the room. Now she’s a reminder: 👉 Growth isn’t always fast 👉 Progress isn’t always big 👉 But resilience… always shows 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficialNEW 🙏 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.

Weird growth on the leaves of one of my plants. Looks healthy otherwise. White widow is beginning to pop out for life.

Buongiorno a tutti seconda settimana di fioritura,le piante mi sembrano in buone condizioni le due nel vaso più grande si sono allungate parecchio le altre un po' meno, oggi ho fertilizzato dopo due giorni che non bagnavo,il 3° giorno si vedevano i segni della sete ,alla soluzione ho aggiunto solo del calmag insieme a tutto il resto solo per vedere se quelle carenze sarebbero sparite una volta per tutte la lampada ora è al massimo della potenza purtroppo un fiore si è bruciato prima che potessi tirare su la lampada

And Another one, underestimated the stretch on the Mintz she can’t complain she ain’t getting light lol.

Seems I was letting the temp get to low during the night.. I noticed some slow growth did some investigating and that was it. During the day 86/87 and at night it was hitting like 60 and 50’s.. So I’m hoping that was my issue.. But other then that they look beautiful and healthy.. Nutrient burned Red D is 100% now and growing.. I defoliated both of them yesterday, mostly cleaned the Red D’s branches. Just want all her energy going up not out.. But the slow growth sucks hoping it changes now..

So far so good no complaints.

signs of plant feeding errors appeared, but generally within normal limits i think. the bumps get fat. and they seem very tasty.

I'm happy with the way this plant has vegged and will be putting her into flower next week still deciding whether to buy plant magic flowering nutes or stick with biobizz

Feb 22 Really starting to thicken up! The soil underneath is still plenty moist even though the fan is blowing on it 24 hours a day. The roots will grow more quickly as the water dries up and the roots continue their search for more.

Hallo lieber Grower, hier mein erster Grow^^ Nach 3 Tagen Wasserbad alle in die Erde gelegt mit der Wurzel nach unten zeigend. Bis alle aus der Erde kommen 24/7 Licht. Dann 18/6 Luftfeuchtigkeit auserhalb des mini Gewächshäuschens 60-70 % Temperatur 20-25 grad

Girls are growing very quickly. Definitely ready to put into flower by the end of this week. These are the fastest growing ladies I have ever had the opportunity to tend to. The feed will be going up to 700 ppm before this week is done. I will also be adding some bloom nutes into that mixture.. Had some slight bleaching on the tips of a couple plant that were directly under the lamp. Reason being the darn ladies are growing so quick, and I forgot to raise the light one day..My bad... Thanks goes out to Kannabia for the opportunity to try their strains. You guys rock...👍👍👍 Sept 20 Fed the ladies at 650 ppm 1.3 ec and the ph was set at 5.5. Runoff came out at 700 ppm 1.4 ec and the ph is at 5.9 Sept 21 Girls are growing rapidly and ready to switch over to flower now. Most have hit the 18" mark now. Will be setting the timer to 12 12 today Sept 23 Fed the ladies 700 ppm 1.4 ec of floranova grow, ph'ed at 5.6 Runoff waters came out at 800 ppm 1.6 ec and the ph is sitting at 6.0

Strong, grows pretty fast. Beginner friendly strain, easy to maintain. Just make sure to defoliate her often, or it will bush up before you know it!

Elsa‘s grow and our Community Grow goes to an end. It‘s hard for me to say her goodbye, because we share 100 days together. But a good friend told me… it‘s always a friendship of time. Thx for Zamnesia for Elsa‘s Seed and That i have good and bad times with her. But i learn a lot in this grow and that is the most important thing… See you on harvest day 😉

I have to be carefull to lift her lol

Well decided to plant the northern lights auto, this one’s a fast mover. Only soaked 18 hours before the tail popped. Only using fox farms ocean to start the first few weeks.
