Vegetation Week 5: Topping, Pistil Puzzles & the All-Mix Countdown Update: 14.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 5 brought some plot twists and big moves! Let’s unpack the story. Current Highlights: Topping & Tiny Pistils Topping Done Right: Both ladies got their first topping this week! Cut the main stem carefully with disinfected scissors above Node 5. Let’s see how they recover from that, but I guess they’re big enough to take that blow like champs. Durban’s Pistil Surprise: Spotted early pistils (white hairs) on the Durban – wait, already?! Stay calm: Durban Poison is photoperiod, so this isn’t full flowering. Likely causes: Light stress? Double-check nighttime darkness during “indoor curfew” – even small light leaks can confuse photoperiods. Longer days in late April/May will keep her in veg. No need to panic! What do you guys think? Have you experienced pre-flower this early under sunlight? Nutrient Needs Rising: Lower leaves on the Blueberry show faint lighter green hues – Biobizz Light Mix is running low on juice. Next move: Transplant into Biobizz All-Mix (richer in nutrients) after topping recovery. ______________________ Chapter Update: Garden Bed Prep – Building Their Forever Home This week’s big project: Prepping the outdoor spots where these ladies will live their best lives! Here’s the dirt: - Holes Dug: Two 50x50x50cm pits (perfect for root freedom!). - Soil Mix: - 20L Biobizz Worm Humus – worm-powered nutrient gold. - 20L Biobizz All-Mix – for structure and organic goodness. - Homemade Compost – loaded with worms, horn shavings (slow-release nitrogen), and lime (pH balance). - Why It’s Lit: This mix is a 100% organic buffet – worms till the soil, microbes feed the roots, and the girls get everything they need to explode in summer! ______________________ Chapter Update 2: Pot Upgrades & Root Magic Update: 15.04.2025 (Day 39) Today’s mission: New shoes for the ladies! The Trigger: Noticed the first true leaves hinting at hunger (fading green, subtle yellow whispers) – Biobizz Light Mix had given its all. Time for a nutrient boost! The Process: - Pot Upgrade: Swapped their 0.27L cups for 1.5L plastic pots (hello, legroom!). - Soil Mix: - 2:1 All-Mix to Worm Castings – All-Mix for structure, worm goodies for microbes. - Root Reveal: Popped the old pots off – root porn alert! Creamy-white tendrils everywhere, with fuzzy mycorrhizal hyphae hugging them like a snug sweater. - Myco Re-Up: Dusted the root ball’s “four corners” with fresh myco powder (symbiosis 2.0!). - Tomato Trick: - Removed the lowest node’s leaves and tiny side branches. - Planted them deeper to bury part of the stem – this’ll spark new roots along the buried stem (works like a charm for tomatoes, so why not cannabis?). ______________________ Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

Started a liquid supplement because my dry amendments aren’ didn’t activate my last grow. Maybe I didn’t mix them deep enough or keep the top layer wet enough but i know its the end of my first run & my girls have been STARVING . So even though I did top dress a few weeks ago I still started her on liquid amendments like my oldest girls & she’s handled all the feedings brilliantly. She has pre flower pistals showing but only sparsely so we’re still vegging out. She’s a beast & that’s an understatement. Definitely the biggest & most vigorous auto I’ve ever grown. Liquid amendments I’ve been feeding are still indeed organic so no worries.

🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 Hi and welcome to another Kannabia grow! This time I’m running their Apple Fritter (feminized photoperiod). She’s going to veg under 24hr light and be manifolded. Still cleaning the rest of my Candy Cream GF (11.04.25) — going to sow the seed tomorrow (12.04.25) *been lazy, sowed on 14.04.25 🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸🍏✨🍭🌸 --- 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 ❗Events & thoughts worth noting❗ 💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭❗💭 12.04.25 (GW1) – Cleaning + flushing the old coco coir.

Solid start👌♥️ 23.04.25 (VW1) – Minimal burnt tips 📸 — not progressing, not a concern. 26.04.25 (VW1) – Started using the new batch of FPJ/FFJ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/266849-grow-journal-by-yan402 30.04.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro & GreenBuzzBloom 10ml → 15ml 03.05.25 (VW2) – Increased TriPartMicro again 15ml → 20ml, topped the plant, and added final layer of clay pebbles around the base, trimmed side branches and did LST in preparation for "manifold" 📸 08.05.25 VW3 finished manifold📸 13.05.25 VW4 Increased TriPartMicro to 30ml and GreenBuzzBloom to 20ml. 15.05.25 VW4 Done defoliation and LST 📸 18-19.05.25 VW5 pruned all the shoots bellow my "mains" and did a full defoliation📸 24.05.25 VW6 increased GreenBuzzBloom to 30ml 04.06.25 VW7 did a cleanup📸 11.06.25 VW8 increase TriPartMicro to 40ml 17.06.25 (VW9) – Final structure pass 💈🌿 Did a clean perimeter prune + removed weak shoots. Ended up with 12 tops, was aiming for less, but she made the call Didn’t fight it, just shaped it the best I could Airflow’s good, structure’s stable 🛑 No more cuts until post-stretch Pics coming shortly 😘 Flip coming soon — we’ll see how she handles it. 20.06.25 VW9 Switched lighting to 12 hours, may the stretch begin 🤞 22.06.25 VW10 Did a good LST session,made some pics, and came to some conclusions and a small change of plans: Originally planned for 8 mains — long, spaced colas and maybe a couple stronger “titans” if she wanted to go that way. But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her — just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf — just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30→ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50→ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 → 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 →40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 → 60ml, fpj 30→60ml 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱 11.07.25 FW1 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff 12.07.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 Nutrients in 30L #1 – Week 11 Veg 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 TriPart Micro: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50ml → 30ml (1.00ml/L) 🍶 TriPart Grow: 0ml (0.00ml/L) 💧 TriPart Bloom: 0 → 20 → 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 → 15 → 20 → 30 → 60→40ml (1.33ml/L) 💧 Cal-Mag: 60ml (2.00ml/L) 🍶 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch): 10ml → 30→60ml (2.00ml/L) 💧 pH Down: Citric acid (buxXtrade) 📦 TOTAL: 250ml per 30L 🔬 8.33ml/L 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ Tools & equipment ✂️ ⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ ✂️ 2× MarsHydro SP3000 ⚙️ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator ✂️ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) ⚙️ Mini no-name dehumidifier ✂️ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) ⚙️ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) ✂️ Scissors (HST) ⚙️ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) ✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️✂️⚙️ --- 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬🍏🍪🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple × Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/m² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds

🌱 Eternity Cup 2025 – Woche 6 Update 🔥 Unser Eternity Cup 2025 Grow, powered by Zamnesia & Plagron, geht in die nächste Runde! 🚀 Die Runtz Autoflowers unter der Evo 301 (Samsung Chips, 180W) zeigen jetzt deutliche Unterschiede – jede Pflanze entwickelt sich nach ihrem eigenen Tempo. 🌿 🔍 Setup & Entwicklung nach 6 Wochen: 🌿 #1 – 20L Topf, nicht getoppt, aber LST Diese Dame steht jetzt voll in der Blüte! 🌸 Dank des großen Topfes hat sie sich super entwickelt, schöne Buds setzen sich langsam an. Sie bleibt stabil und gesund – die LST-Methode zahlt sich aus! ✅ 🌿 #2 – 8L Topf, getoppt & LST Während die anderen zwei sich voll auf die Blüte konzentrieren, legt #2 nochmal ordentlich in die Breite zu! 📏 Das Topping und LST zeigen ihre Wirkung – die Pflanze bleibt kompakt, aber buschig. Die ersten Blütenansätze sind zu sehen, aber sie nimmt sich weiter etwas mehr Zeit. 🌱 🌿 #3 – 8L Topf, nicht getoppt, kein Training Genau wie #1 steht auch diese Pflanze voll in der Blüte! 🌸 Sie ist von Natur aus etwas höher gewachsen und beginnt jetzt, schöne Buds auszubilden. 🌱 Fazit nach Woche 6: Die ungetoppten #1 & #3 sind mitten in der Blüte, während #2 sich weiter in die Breite entwickelt und noch ein wenig hinterherhinkt. 🌱💪 Aber alle drei sind kerngesund, und es bleibt spannend zu sehen, ob sich das Wachstum von #2 am Ende durch höhere Buddichte auszahlt! ➡️ Wie wird sich der Blütenaufbau in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln? Bleibt #2 länger in der Vegi? Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden! Stay tuned für Woche 7! 🔥 Update vom 25.02 die explodieren ich muss das Zelt wechseln maximal 1 Woche noch und sie kommen in das doppelt so große Zelt !!! Ich bin so Happy bitte schaut euch #1,#3 an das sind Autos #EternityCup2025 #Zamnesia #Plagron #GrowDiaries #RuntzAuto #Homegrow #CannabisCommunity

Day 63 from seed, about 5 weeks into flower 🌹✌️🏽🌱 Plant has finally stopped growing vertically, stopped at 57 cm, Considering the topping and LST, that's pretty high i would say. Had to do another huge defoliation and cutting down all immature branches and popcorn buds. Also started to add Atami bloombastic (pk14-15) for the second stage of flower. All in all everything is going smoothly now, buds getting bigger in size, although still fluffy. Hopefully they'll get danser in the next week or so🤞🏽 Until next week ppl 😎✌️🏽💚

Well from day one it was evident that the sativa lineage was going to be a big factor in this ladies growth . She was a fast germinating lady and that gave me a plant which was really ensuing to blow up with growth both vertical and horizontal. The plant was put into a raised bed in the end and that have her roots the room needed to give my plant the boost it needs . The soil was garden soil with promix bx and added Mycorrhizae as well .The strain it's self was amazing with dense fat buds covered in trichomes that are all milky with small amber at week 7 flower .. The plants stretch period was about two weeks and if not for the taller plants shading her out this one would have been a monster .. I'm going to be putting another one outdoors next year of This strain it's just to terpy and pretty to not have again . Once it's all dried and cured I'll post some pictures and get a smoke report going so that the true magic of this strain can be explored .. Besides all of this I would suggest anyone to try the this seed brand they have awesome Genetics and are very good with customer support and shipping is always discreet and they take care of your needs .. check them out and see for yourself how good there strains are!!! Updated part ... Wow the smoke was so good these buds re drying up to dense buds that are covered in white fluffy trichomes that cover the whole bud and sugar leaves .. it's truly a tasty strain with the biggest head high but also not a crazy couch locker it's a solid mix for late afternoon night time . I smoked a bit of a tester branch and was so medicated I loved it .. will be going In to my garden next year as she is in my top 5 of strains I have grown now .. it's a very special lady with super strong smoke and very nice bag appeal . Don't sleep on this strain she is an original and won't be forgotten in my garden . Just wow makes me want to grow as many of their strains as I can . Next year is looking good all ready

The MC1 x Apricot Jelly actually came out pretty solid, the MC1 x Dionysus is ugly as a mf tho. Started the flush on most of these last week. Everything has been steady all around. Going to start taking them down a few at a time over the next week or 2 some will go longer than others so they'll come down 3 or 4 at a time.

Hello, nouvelle session, et 1ere expérience cette fois ci en coco. Avec une nouvelle gamme d’engrais de chez Canna, ainsi que le substrat en coco de chez Canna aussi J’ai constaté que les graines de Quick Critical+ ont germées très vite par rapport à la terre, ici, à peine 72h pour les 1ères. Et un joli 100% pour la germination!! Merci dinafem!👍🔥 J’ai pu aussi constaté que le réglage du PH et de l’Ec prennent ici toute leur importance,, puisque pour mes 1er arrosages j’ai oublié de contrôler l’Ec, résultat, légère brûlure sur le bout des 1ères feuilles,, j’ai immédiatement corrigé en contrôlant et en ajustant l’Ec,, les choses devraient rentrer dans l’ordre maintenant. Voilà pour cette 1ere semaine de découverte de la culture en coco,,, A la semaine prochaine... Happy grow...😎

Harvested #2, 40/60 amber to cloudy trichome ratio, couldn't weigh wet 25/10/24 - Harvested #1, 50/50 amber to cloudy trichome ratio Haven't weighed #2 final dry weight yet, still in the process of trimming #2 final dry weight: 273.9g, just under 10 ounces. 02/11/24 - #1 is dry, haven't had time to trim, in jars until I have time. Estimate #1 will yield more then #2 #1 final dry weight: 351.8g, 12.5 ounces 625.7g total off both plants #2 has better bag appeal, smell is very floral and piney. #1 is not as nice looking in appearance but takes the win for smell, has a strong skunk smell, get a whiff of cat piss whenever the jars are opened as well. Was very prevalent in the final week of flower, kept thinking the cats had got into the room and peed somewhere. Overall happy with the results.

The apricot is going hard on the stretch, she loved the LST and although a bit leggy she’s filling out nicely. Gave her a flush before stepping up the nutes and will look to keep spreading her out this week .
