8/12 - Dropped 3 seeds into RO water to germinate 8/13 - Placed seeds into moist paper towel and into plastic bag to germinate on heat mat. 8/15 - All three seeds sprouted. In the morning I prepared three 3-gallon pots with Roots Organics Original Soil and Nature's Living Soil Autoflower mix. I will be doing Super Soil method for this grow. I filled the bottom one third of the pot with regular soil, then added 1 lb of Nature's Living soil and mixed it in. Then filled the rest of the pot with the regular soil. I topped it with Mosquito Bits for added BTI for pest prevention. Finally, I wet the pots down with RO water and Organic Black Strap Molasses. After about 8 hours, I planted the three seeds and placed them in the 4x5 tent with a humidity dome to keep in moisture. 8/16 - Two of the three already have their true leaves. So, I have removed the humidity domes from those two. 8/17 - The last of the GSCs have sprouted her true leaves so I have removed her dome. I sprayed them lightly again today with RO water and molasses.

The two Red Hot cookies were by far the fastest strains in this run. And also simply beautiful. Bag appeal: 10/10 Yield: 8/10 Pheno #1 47 gram dry Taste:? High: ? Once I did a smoke test. I will add the missing information! Pheno number #2 has significantly more yield than Pheno #1. Pheno #2 smells like bubble gum, I've never had that smell with a strain before. If I had room for a mother tent, pheno#2 would have gotten a spot there. I'm looking forward to the next harvests !:)

📁 Folder #10 — Sour Diesel Week 2 Veg | 18/6 Light Cycle This Sour Diesel is moving exactly as she should — slowly, steadily, and with confidence. No rush, no stress, just healthy foundational growth. She is currently in early vegetative development, working through her 3rd to 4th pair of true leaves, with compact internodal spacing and well-formed foliage. Structure is clean, leaves are vibrant, and overall posture tells me she’s comfortable in her environment. This plant is not meant to be pushed — she’s meant to be understood. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Status • Stage: Week 2 Vegetative Growth • Light Cycle: 18/6 • Height: ~10 cm • Leaf Development: 3rd → 4th pair forming • Growth Pace: Slow and steady (as expected) She’s building roots and structure first — exactly what we want at this stage. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Environment • PPFD: ~400 µmol/m²/s • Distance to Light: ~1.75–1.80 m • Why this PPFD: At this stage, the goal is root development and node stacking, not vertical stretch. Lower PPFD encourages calm, efficient photosynthesis without stress or unnecessary elongation. 🌡️ Temperature & Humidity • Day: ~28°C • Night: ~18°C • Relative Humidity: ~75% This VPD range keeps transpiration active while allowing roots to work efficiently. ⸻ 💧 Irrigation & Substrate • Water Uptake: ~0.3 L per 24h • Solution pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 • Solution Temp: ~21°C • Substrate Temp: ~22°C Watering is steady and predictable — a very good sign at this stage. ⸻ Nutrition Program (and WHY) All inputs are chosen for root health, microbial activity, and long-term vigor, not speed. Root & Growth Support • Plagron Terra Grow — 2.5 ml/L Primary vegetative base nutrient, providing balanced NPK for controlled leaf and stem development. • Power Roots — 1 ml/L Stimulates root mass, lateral branching, and early nutrient uptake efficiency. • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Breaks down dead organic material, improves substrate oxygenation, and keeps the root zone clean and active. • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Early metabolic support, helping enzyme activity and setting the stage for later terpene expression. 🌿 Foliar Application • Vita Race — 2.5 ml/L (foliar spray) Applied generously — real showers, not misting. This boosts chlorophyll production, trace element uptake, and overall leaf vitality during early veg. ⸻ 🧠 Expectations (and what NOT to expect) What to expect: • Compact structure • Strong leaf posture • Slow but healthy node development • Root-driven growth What NOT to expect (and that’s okay): • Explosive vertical growth • Stretch • Large water consumption • High PPFD tolerance (yet) This phase is about foundation, not performance. ⸻ 🌬️ Final Thoughts — The Legend Herself Sour Diesel is not a strain you rush. She rewards patience, consistency, and restraint. Everything about this week confirms that she is: • Comfortable • Stable • Responding correctly No adjustments needed. No pressure applied. We let her do what legends do — build quietly before they speak loudly. On to Week 3.

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.

TUESDAY 1/15: MuthaPHucking PH fluctuations again!!!!! 😖 I calibrate my 2 cheapo- ph pens everymotherPHucking day and STILL it happens....PHuck the dumb shit....I just ordered a $100+ Apera tester.👈 I watered everybody with about a half-gallon of water, plus heavy boomerang and calimagic, some bud candy, some terpinator, some kelp me kelp you, some armor silica, and the bloomers got their first dose of open sesame..no big bloom or grow big for anyone. WEDNESDAY: I foliar fed them a few times and calibrated my new ph tester. The big C4 is branching like crazy...the little one is flowering now..hopefully she stretches really well too. All 3 WW's have started flowering. I FIM'd the last 2 WW's today, so everybody's done. Debbie Diesel is looking strong..big thick main stalk. The Northern Lights is also showing me some vertical growth now. All 3 Candy Canes are budding up nicely.👍 FRIDAY: I fed everybody about a half-gallon and foliar fed them a couple of times. SATURDAY: Foliar fed a few times The Candy Canes have stretched so much that I may need to raise my lights a little..they are about 16 inches from the tops now....monitoring... SUNDAY: Foliar fed a few times Still no sign of light burn on the CC's, so I'm leaving the lights where they are. MONDAY: Still moist..will water tomorrow with my new pump-driven system👍

I haven’t done enough study before I started, so at the beginning I used to water the plant way more than it needed to and he almost died.

We are going to be slowing down on the watering and the nutrients for CH#1 through the next couple weeks Im seeing signs of stuff I dont like so Im correcting it now before it gets outta hand . Other then that she's growing well pushing for her third node . Won't be long now till she explodes in growth !! We are dialing the nutrients back to 1/4 strength and I wont be watering as often till we back on track . Im alternating between feedings so that I dont overload the medium . I'd like to thank everyone who stops by the diaries ! A special thank you goes out to my followers that stop in daily and weekly for the updates you guys rule ! 😁 -Happy Growing!

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Amaretto Tarmac de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y tienen un color rosado púrpura brutal. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, no es complicada de cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia las flores serán increíbles. Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Will do report later, its a clone put against RQS Royal Cookie disaster ... Outdoors will be moved inside to finish, they just don't mature outside anymore, too cold, lost biggest cola to bud rot already.... Added video comparison of bud development under late autumns sun vs. warm LED Quantum Board. Today outdoor will move inside. Update will follow ! Day 5 off drying. When you enter your dry room and see such tooth picks - you harvested TOO EARLY !!!!! ;))) I kinda knew it, but still such sad picture ... Couple more days and dry result will show it all. Happy Smoking !!! ;)))

11/07/20 Was gifted a (It's MENDO DOPE) She has been sexed but not sure what pheno, but they're all good. Going to veg for a week then flip to 12-12. Ps. Took some clones for saving this is some crazy terpy shit!😍 Clones are on 12-12 schedule, in my experience they will root faster this way. This girl is potted in big roots soil and its time to pot up and flower.She is in florecent light tent for one more week than to LED to finish her off under11-14 schedule. Ps. Clones are looking happier than first pic 5 days ago.

Grow report week 4: The training and the topping Hello dear growers and groweresses, it’s time for an update on my grow. My plants have completed the fourth week and have grown further. But they have also experienced some measures that I will tell you about. The training This week I continued the low-stress training (LST) and tied the plants further. The LST is a method to gently bend and tie the plants to improve the light distribution and air circulation. The goal is to keep the plants low and wide and promote more side shoots and flower heads. The topping In addition to the LST, I also applied the topping to make the plants even bushier. The topping is a method to cut off the top of the plant to interrupt the apical dominance and produce more main shoots. The goal is to branch the plant and produce more flowers. I performed the topping as follows: I watered the plants well to reduce the stress. I cut off the top of the plant above the third or fourth node to create two new shoots. I observed the plants and looked for signs of stress or shock. The topping also worked well and the plants recovered quickly. They formed two new main shoots that will later become large colas. They also put more energy into the side branches, which will also carry more flowers. The fertilization I also fertilized for the first time this week, although I actually wanted to start late with it. I used the Fish-Mix from BioBizz to give the plants more nitrogen. Fish-Mix is an organic liquid fertilizer that consists of fish parts from the North Sea and organic sugar beet extract. It stimulates the biological activity of the soil and the plant growth. The Fish-Mix did well for the plants and they showed more growth. They formed more leaves and shoots and became greener and healthier. They also absorbed more nitrogen and produced more proteins. The outlook I am very satisfied with the result of the fourth week. My plants have been well trained and topped and have shown great growth. I am very curious about the next week, where I have to activate my setup completely to give the plants their final place and pots. It will be exciting for me to see if my system works as I wished. I will continue to observe the plants and respond to their needs. I will adjust the light intensity, the fertilization and the training to achieve the best results. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week! 😊

7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.

The start was easy as it gets just add water the first 20 days and LST every day. When i saw some of the lower leaves start to change color that's when i started to add nuits. after that it was just following the instructions foxfarm already had laid out for me. I cut back by half in the start of my feeds but by the end of my grow I was at full strength. Testing your run off is key. Cropking send me great seeds and genetics is a great foundation and starting point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was very happy I got almost 5 ounces off one plant.

Good week my diesel glue is really starting to branch up after topping at the end of last week I have continued 4days ago and today moderate defoliation I need the Poppin Cherrys pheno to get growing lol, I had a cultivator mystery stain, not last grow the one before that had a decidely slow start but bloomed into an exceptional phenotype, hopefully more similarities than Early leaf structure
