Seemingly overnight, the A.K. plant overcame Sour Ripper in growth! Been a fun week as far as the plants go, havent needed to water them at all. Ill take a peak into the tent occasionally, witnessed the growth pick up exponentially this week. I noticed the pots are getting pretty light when i was taking these pictures. Will likely water them tomorrow. Notes for those interested: My last grow was RUINED from consistently overwatering and NEVER checking pH of feed water. Everything that could have went wrong as a result, did go wrong. Murphy's Law eh? Just trying to see to it that doesnt happen again. For those interested in the DWC girls, their growth has been nothing less than great 👍. It was less than two weeks ago that i went to the local hydro shop to pick up some hydroguard and damn! Is that shit good or what?! Root rot has been stripped away in almost ALL of my DWC girls, tons of white, happy root growth in their place. Ive decided that i will flip them all either halfway through this week or monday of next. Going to mother both A.K. and S.R. 2-3 weeks into flower transition. Again, great job @RipperSeeds and @Nirvana, really loving this stuff.

I had a excellent grow of this plant. I didn't have any major issues during the grow. It looks like she provided a good yield. And smelled great when I was able to smell. I am Fighting a cold at the moment. 😒 I am very eager to try this flower once it gets done in the cannatrol, and is ready for its smoke report. This looks like it was a great strain. The harvest video is on my YouTube channel. GD is still having video upload issues on bigger files.

Esta semana he cometido el error de añadir nutrientes y he sobrefertilizado las plantas. A partir de ahora riego con agua , 1 gota de ph- por cada 15 litros de agua y 0.1 ml de ata clean por cada litro de agua. Esto lo hare durante 2 semanas y quiza solo 1 vez mas abonare. Ademas creo haberme pasado con la cantidad de agua, reduzco el agua a 1/2 litro cada 2 o 3 dias

Eva Seeds High level 27th December 2021 Another very bloody Hot week here with temps nudging 46.1 on Christmas day 😬 But with plenty of shade cloth and water this plant is doing well 👊 Gave her some Bio Enhancer this week as well as some more mycorrhizae . Cheers for stopping by 👍

Not going well, think I'm locked out??? I'm using sensi grow coco which is supposed to to be ph perfect yet still on lick out????? Brought a GOOD ph pen&tds pen,I flushed a full litre ph 6.0 through both girls and I'm now just maintaining a perfect pH level&bumping up my nutes a little more each day....

9-18 Day 14 Well, she is growin very well. I haven't burnt her yet! 😱😂. She is bigger every time I look. 1500ml ph 6.0 with yucca. Turned a fan on a bit, shes taking it well. Little extra on pictures. 😂 9-21 Day 17 Watered 2k ml recharge ph 6.2 Adjusted lst and removed bottom nodes. One of the 2nd nodes got injured in battle, I had to remove her too. She grows! 9-23 Adjusted lst slightly and watered with yucca. Enjoy!

Another good week for these girls, they are getting more and more thc day by day, still some weeks to go as we are still on the week 5, this strain is a really easy to grow strain which dont require that much attention, i just provided some guanokalong powders and shes good to go 👍😁

Welcome to Day 36 .... first Day of pre flowering 😍🙏👍

Growing well, so far. The added silica shows its effect - the stem is absolutely massive and solid, don't think LST is an option. I want to do either Topping or FIMing, but am not sure yet, which one. The decision will be shown in the pictures that I'll add, once the procedure is done. UPDATE: I decided to top Banana Kush Auto, as seen in the added photos and video.

Le hice budwashing o lavado de cogollos ya que estaban muuuuuy atacados de esta ultima semana por arañas rojas del capullo.. no ha tenido creo yo ni una semana entera de treguas esta planta, pero bueno, pese a todo la he podido cosechar y relativamente bien. Hay fotos en las que se ven las telarañas cubriendo a saco los cogollos, pero luego subo fotos y video de los cogollos colgando del tendedero para quitarle el exceso de humedad al sumergirlos en diferentes soluciones con agua y ahí ya si se ven limpios, igualmente cuando sequen y manicure les haré mas fotos.

Really suffered in the summer with heat waves. Temps in the tent when the lights were on was going as high as 93⁰f (33.88⁰c). The buds have foxtailed as a result and I beleive I had pheno #1 hermy in its final days. 0 seeds found in both phenos so I got lucky. It flew through the veg stage, growing faster than the runtz muffin it was sharing the tent with. Flower period felt fast too, it was looking stacked already in week 5.

It's been a pretty easy week. Enjoying watching the buds get thicker! Just going to coast to the end at this point....hoping to harvest within the next 2 weeks. Already getting excited for my next grow...thinking Ethos Planet of the Grapes or Ethos Crescendo.

Started today second week (20/05). Very pleased with how it grew the first week. The plant appears healthy despite the excessive lengthening that caused its release due to the too much weight of the leaves. Although it has a fan pointing at it, I still expect it to reinforce the stem to remove the support. Update: Very strong stem. 20/05: Root Complex (3.5ml/700ml) + TNT Complex (3.5ml/700ml) --> Final EC 625 24/05: Root Complex (3.5ml/700ml) + TNT Complex (1ml/700ml) --> Final EC 325 27/05: Coming home after two days i found my baby plant that now isn't just a baby! Beautiful and strong! I've noticed only a small spot in a leaf, highlighted in the video; and a strange skin around the stem, highlighted in the other video.

Week 7 / Day 49 Flower begins today 29/12/2021. EC - EC has been 1.2 inflow all of this week, but runoff has been around 1.6-1.7. Although I am using less than half of what mills suggest of A&B but full strength stimulants, like I have to the whole grow, since I have introduced the Ultimate PK at 2ml/L the girls have both began to burn pretty bad mainly at the tops. I have done 4l per plant of a 1.1EC solution with half of the suggested (1ml/L) of the PK to see if that can stop the burn getting worse. I also dropped the base nutes by 5ml too. Hopefully this mini “flush” will stop it progressing. Once EC is stable / burn stops I will watch closely and up base nutes again to higher EC or higher PK if required but from what I can tell it’s very strong stuff compared to the rest of the Mills line. Multifeeding - 20% Runoff every feed, 3 x per day, 2L per feed. 6.0pH. “LST” - again, the ties have been left on as it does not seem to affect the plants. If that changes then I will remove it as I am liking the density I am getting lower down due to light getting deeper than usual. The buds are definitely growing in size daily which makes me believe it is nute burn mentioned above and not lockout as if it was the symptoms would be far worse, plus the top is the most effected part of the girls indicating a recent change is the reason for the burn and the lower stuff is barely affected. I will be keeping EC to 1.1-1.2 again all this week, and only adjusting PK & base nutes if the girls seem hungry as I really don’t wanna make the burn worse or get to a point where it effects the buds. Hopefully just another 14 or so days maximum till chop, can’t wait to see what these turn out like. Both girls are covered in trichomes from top to bottom and dense throughout. Just want these girls to finish up and power through this burn till the end and hopefully doesn’t hurt the girls too much! 🙏🏻🤙🏻💚

Día 21

Week 4 and buds are beginning to fatten up nicely, I’ve changed the position of the gelato and one of the Zkittles to improve light penetration into the canopy as the leaves have began to defoliate themselves from the plants. This being said all plants are looking green and healthy and show minimum environment stress. Hopefully this change in the canopy will allow each of the strains to grow to their full potential with the limited space that I have.

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 7 From Seed (Week 2 Flower) Quick Recap (for context) This Sour Diesel has had a tougher road compared to the rest of the room. Earlier in the cycle, she was hit by a combination of: • Colder external temperatures • Environmental instability during early development • Slower initial adaptation compared to her sisters She never fully enjoyed the colder phase, and recovery has been slow but steady, not explosive. This update reflects a plant that is stabilizing, not one that is racing. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28 °C (successfully raised and now stable) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on height and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm (now stabilizing around ~909 ppm) As outside temperatures remained low, the room naturally became its own heat source due to: • Increased plant mass • Higher light intensity • Addition of under-canopy lighting No forced heaters. No extremes. Just letting the system balance itself naturally. 🌬️ Airflow • Vortex extraction • Multiple cross-flow fans • Constant, gentle air movement No leaf chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear transition phase. • EC: ~2.4 • pH: 6.5 (now transitioning downward — all feeds moving toward 6.0+) Why a Slightly Higher pH Right Now? As plants enter early flower, demand shifts: • Improved Ca / Mg uptake • Stronger P & K availability • Increased root activity A slightly higher pH during this moment supports: • Structural development • Flower initiation • Stability under higher PPFD and CO₂ Nutrient Transition • Terra Grow → flowering nutrients • Supporting the hormonal shift from stretch → stack • Minor signs of possible Ca/Mg demand observed → already being addressed → nothing severe or alarming (Reference images included above for transparency.) ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Progress & Current State She is flowering — slowly, which is expected after stress. Important clarification: • Week 7 from seed • Week 2 of flower This slower pace is not a failure — it’s a recovery-driven transition. She’s prioritizing balance before expression. Leaves are not “happy” in the Instagram sense, but they are: • Responsive • Stable • Not deteriorating That matters more right now. ⸻ 🌍 Seasonal Reality Outside conditions remain harsh: • Temperatures around 4–5 °C • Humidity consistently 90%+ • Full winter conditions The room itself is stable and dialed. The rest of the garden is thriving under these conditions. Because of that: • We are not changing the whole room for one plant • Instead, Sour Diesel receives extra attention and care • The environment remains optimal for the majority of the crop Adaptation goes both ways — plants and growers. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to) What we expect: • Continued stabilization • Gradual stacking over the coming weeks • Expression that comes late, not loud What we don’t expect: • Explosive stretch • Perfect symmetry • A “pretty” early flower phase This phase is critical because it determines: • Whether the plant commits energy to survival or production • How much it can realistically give later on Right now, the goal is completion, not competition. ⸻ 🙏 Closing Thanks Huge thanks to: • The genetics creators • The nutrient partners • The GrowDiaries platform for providing a space where growers can document, learn, and interact • The community — OGs, newcomers, supporters, skeptics, lovers, haters — all part of the journey Growing is adaptation. Winter reminds us of that every day.

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.
