She recovered from the adjustments and the soil being in better conditions for nutrients uptake she continued with her growth normally. I reintroduced the microbial system by watering with a compost tea I made. I then reintroduced nutes to her feed all while making sure all solutions given were at the ideal Ph and PPMs. I mostly use RO water with 5.2 Ph/ 32 PPM so after the flush I gave days to the soil to dry back then for the next watering I had to ph up around 5.8 to 6.3 to tackle the high ph issue in my medium. Gradually we came back to range with the last watering I checked and we were around 6.5 ph/ 1089 PPM which is ideal for where I want my soil to be. Around day 38 she started showing pistils on a few tops. By the end of the week I could tell she had officially entered her flowering stage. I didn’t defoliate this week, I wanted to give time to the plant to recover. I instead did some LST by the end of the week to open up the canopy a little more. I love how everything is going I’m grateful for the knowledge I’m learning along the way. Take care of your loved ones happy growing

Месяц не был на поляне - растения слегка забило камышом, в связи с чем к ним был ограничен доступ света. Навел порядок, прорвал камыш, покормил органикой - теперь всё будет хорошо))

These girls are smelling amazing! I'm so excited about the purple Zkittlez phenotype! It's the dominant smell in the grow space. I flushed each plant with pure filtered water @ 6.25pH

The Bananas are hanging! Stay tuned!

Last week of flowering (72days from the light switch) Gonna cut soon when the dirt is dry. A quite late harvest. Many buds denser more, and stem can’t longer resist. This season so satisfy.

Mohawk Meds: Banana Flambe (BF): Realized 2nd Week of germination the lighting was 12/12. Explains the slow start. Now its corrected and started to grow like they should. BF #4 was having some problems breaking soil. I had to dig it completely out and it was curly Qued, growing deeper into the soil the wrong way. I probably planted tap root up. I dug it out and corrected its growth direction. Its cotyledons were present just underground. Unfortunately, between miss planting, 12/12, and digging it up BF #4 did not make it. 😞 They have had spritz of 6.0ph waterx2 each day. Will start to bottom water to get those roots to stretch. Environment is consistent 79F, 60%RH, 320-390ppfd, & 650ppm CO2.

These two have been grooving. The bigger Bush plant vegged almost a week longer then the other. Only change was raised the nutrients to 1/2 dose. And increasing how often I need to water.its about to be a daily thing . They are hungry. I'm not complaining lol. But let's see how they fill out over the next 21days. Roughly at day 55 as of oct 25th !! Appreciate anyone checking in here. If u can leave a comment/like so I can check out what ur growing!!

Sour Diesel — The Ascension of a Legend 🙂 Week 13 | Flowering | The quiet final stretch Sour Diesel was never the easiest girl in the room. From the beginning, she was the one that lagged behind. Smaller, tighter, less vigorous, less willing to stretch into the room the way the others did. She never had the same natural momentum, never claimed the same canopy space, and for most of the run, she looked like the plant that simply got outpaced. But this is exactly why this week matters. Because despite a slower start, despite a more compact frame, despite being the smallest girl in the room, she never stopped building. She just did it differently. And now, near the end, she is showing exactly what resilience looks like in flower: a compact, dense, intensely stacked Sour Diesel with real weight, proper frost, and far more character than her size first suggested. She may not be the tallest plant in the room. She may not be the widest plant in the room. But she earned every gram she is carrying. And that deserves its moment. Small frame, full intention Sour Diesel never became a large plant structurally. She stayed shorter, tighter, and more compact from the start, which naturally put her at a disadvantage in a room where the rest of the canopy climbed higher and intercepted more direct top light. In a standard top-down setup, that usually means one thing: the lower half underperforms. Less penetration. Less useful PPFD below the crown. Less productive lower flower development. But this is exactly where the layered lighting approach changed the outcome. Because while her top canopy remained below the rest of the room, she was never truly left in the shade. The inner canopy bars and under-canopy support kept usable photons moving through the lower structure, which meant the lower sites still received enough energy to remain productive. Not equal to the top, of course—but productive enough to continue building instead of stalling. And on a smaller plant like this, that matters even more. She did not need extreme stretch. She needed access. And access changed everything. That is why this plant still developed visible lower flower mass, proper side stacking, and much better density through the mid and lower zones than a compact plant like this would usually produce under top light alone. She stayed small. But she never stopped producing. Why we are now running only water + enzymes At this stage, the job is no longer to push growth. The structure is built. The flowers are formed. The plant has already done the heavy lifting. Now the goal is not to feed harder. The goal is to finish cleaner. From here forward, Sour Diesel is running on plain water and enzymes only. That means no more base nutrients, no more bloom push, no more unnecessary inputs—just hydration, biology, and a clean finish. And at this point in flower, that makes sense for several reasons. 1. The plant no longer needs to be pushed Late flower is not the time to force new production. The plant is no longer trying to build a new framework. It is finishing, ripening, and reallocating what it already holds. At this stage, overfeeding usually does not create better flowers. It more often creates excess residue, unnecessary salt accumulation, and a dirtier finish. The bulk is already there. Now we let the plant finish what it started. 2. Enzymes help clean the root zone This is where enzymes earn their place. At the end of the cycle, enzymes help break down leftover organic material, dead root matter, and residual waste in the medium. That helps keep the rhizosphere active, reduces unnecessary buildup, and keeps the root zone cleaner during the final stretch. The goal here is not “feeding” in the classic sense. It is maintenance. Cleanup. Biological support. We are not trying to push more into the pot. We are trying to help the system finish clean. 3. We reuse this soil This matters. Because this medium is not being treated like disposable substrate. It will be reused, and what is left in it matters. By finishing lighter and keeping enzymes in play, we are not just thinking about this harvest—we are also thinking about the biological life left behind in the soil after harvest, and how that soil transitions into its next job outdoors. Instead of ending with a heavily loaded, overly salted medium, we finish cleaner, keep the biology more intact, and make that transition back into living use much easier. That matters now. And it matters later. Why the light is also being reduced now This is another late-flower adjustment that often gets overlooked. At this stage, they do not need the same intensity they needed during peak production. Earlier in flower, stronger PPFD made sense because the plant was actively building mass, driving expansion, and converting light into structural output. Now the job is different. Now we are finishing ripeness, not chasing stretch or bulk. So light intensity is being reduced accordingly. Not because the plant is “done” —but because she no longer needs to be pushed like she is still in peak construction mode. Softer finishing light helps reduce unnecessary stress in late flower, lowers excess demand, and better matches what the plant is actually doing now: ripening, maturing, and closing. Less push. More finish. What to watch now: trichomes, calyx, pistils, fade This is the week where patience matters more than feeding. Not every sign of maturity happens at once, and not every visible change means harvest is immediate. This is where people rush. Do not harvest because one sign changed. Harvest when the plant begins aligning across multiple signals. That is what matters now. Trichomes Trichomes are still the clearest indicator of maturity, but they need to be read correctly. What we are watching now is the shift from clear → cloudy, followed by the first meaningful amber development. * Clear = still immature * Cloudy / milky = peak cannabinoid maturity * Amber = oxidation / deeper ripening The goal is not “amber everywhere.” The goal is a mature field. We want the majority developed, mostly cloudy, with the first real amber appearing in context—not isolated, not on sugar leaves, and not misread from damaged tissue. Sugar leaf trichomes mature faster and are not the best harvest reference. Watch the calyx heads. That is where the real read is. Calyx swell This is one of the most overlooked end-of-flower signs. The calyx is what we want to watch now. As the plant finishes, the calyxes swell, stack tighter, and begin to look fuller, rounder, and more pressurized. That final inflation is one of the clearest visual signs that the flower is actually finishing. This is where the “weight” often really appears. Not because the plant suddenly grows more structure, but because the flower tightens and finishes filling itself in. Pistils / white hairs White hairs are useful, but only in context. Fresh white pistils still mean the plant is actively expressing new growth. Darkening pistils suggest progression. Receding pistils suggest maturity. But pistils alone are not a harvest signal. Some plants throw fresh hairs late. Some oxidize early. Some mislead entirely. Watch them—but do not trust them alone. Leaf fade Late flower fade is expected now. As the plant winds down, it naturally begins reallocating internal resources, and leaf color starts to shift with it. Greens soften. Some leaves pale. Some yellow. Some lose intensity. Some anthocyanin expression may begin to show depending on environment and genetics. This is normal. Late flower should look like a plant reaching completion, not like a plant still trying to look vegetative. The goal now is not perfect green. The goal is proper finish. What to expect next week Expect ripening. Expect more calyx swelling. Expect more pistils to darken and recede. Expect more visible fade. Expect aroma to deepen. Expect the plant to look less “fresh” and more finished. That is what you want. Do not expect explosive new growth. Do not expect dramatic stretch. Do not expect massive visual change overnight. The final week is rarely about expansion. It is about refinement. Less building. More finishing. And Sour Diesel is finally entering that part beautifully. Thank you for being here And before she closes, thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To Grow Diaries for the platform. To everyone following since day one. To the old heads who have been here for years. To the new faces who just arrived. To the growers watching quietly. To the ones learning. To the ones sharing. To the ones supporting. To the ones questioning. To the lovers. To the critics. To the long-time supporters. To the silent observers. Thank you for being here. For watching the process. For following the work. For caring enough to pay attention. Sour Diesel may have been the smallest girl in the room— but she still made sure she would be remembered. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Defoiled and lolipoped some more Canopy is very even this time and alot of budsites were growing over the extended vegetation period...sadly they're still 2+ weeks behind schedule due to overwatering in the early stages Now 8 weeks vegetation instead of 6... Added the sanlight Q3WL & the ProEmit UVA...the UVA will be on for 2h/day...will raise it to 5h over the next 3 weeks Switched to 12/12 on friday afternoon

Day 86 12/05/2021- Week 5 of flower almost done hopefully by the end of the month. Went out on a trip and GoPro never turn on for the last two days bummer but will upload time lapse videos daily. Today the lady got nutrients as well. Day 89 12/08/2021- Today the lady got water, really hoping to see buds starting to fatten up. Day 91 12/10/2021- So today the lady got a special treat, freshly collected rain water. She is just doing her thing and making those buds. I have also finally put the spider farmer SF-2000 at 100%. Also end of another flowering week, see you guys next week. --------Have a good one friends and stay high--------

SUMMARY: Its finally time to start the flush and I'm aiming to flush for 2 weeks. I started the flush on day 95 flushing with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didn’t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres. I am now continuing to water twice daily until harvest aiming for 20-30% runoff each time. I water once of a morning around 11:00 giving roughly 2-2.5L and again of an evening around 18:00 giving a further 2.5-3L. DAY 93 ----------- Friday 26th March 18:30 I fed Jesus 3L of late bloom nutes which produced 740ml runoff (25%). [26°C/48%] DAY 94 ----------- Saturday 27th March 18:30 I fed Jesus its last ever feeding, 3L of late bloom nutes which produced 560ml runoff (19%). [26°C/48%] DAY 95 ----------- Sunday 28th March 18:30 I flushed Jesus with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didn’t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres.

I’ll updats my comment tomorrow Height Chart: Girls Scout Cookies: 31 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 35 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 40 1/4 inches (5gal) Gorilla Glue: 33 1/4 inches Lemon OG: 41 1/2 Inches

Plants reacting well to topping and LST , I’m preparing them to tradition into flower !

Very good journey to me, she has responded very well to the lst training, providing me beautiful colas, enough for me to have nice clean organic nuggets to smoke. I would definitely would run this Ak420 by seedstockers again, the sweetest phenotype was the number #2 which you can take a look at here in my page!

Ya se han notado un monton de avances en cuanto a maduracion de flores, se ha tomado la decesion de esperar a secar las 4 plantas al mismo tiempo por motivos de espacios. 4 plantas con lavado de raices, se lograra el objetivo de 50 g por planta ? +se ha perdido parte de la visualizacion del seguimiento por tiempo personal.

An Tag 38 habe ich die Shogun an 4 Zweigen getoppt.

The end is in sight! This round with 8 plants in 4 pots (=2 GIRLS IN A CUP) of BANANA KRUMBLE (=Banana Punch x OG-Kush) from GREENHOUSE SEEDS is now in week 15 since germination. They are now flowering since 9 weeks and are starting to fade, that means they start to get ripe. All big fan-leaves are now red or yellow colored and start to wilt away. This is a sign the plant will be ready to harvest soon. In the pics and the VIDEO you can clearly see the purple/reddish coloration of the top-buds and the THICK LAYER of TRICHOMES they have. It is AMAZING to see and I cant wait to try this strain after its harvested and dried. All main- and sidebranches have developed into HUGE COLAS and the bud-structure is very compact...in one word: DANK! The aroma of the BANANA KRUMBLE is sweet and fruity (reminds me of ripe bananas with a hint of cinnamon!) and overwhelmingly STRONG! Every time I open the tent a THICK CLOUD of SWEEY SMELL greets me, its ASTOUNDING! My 3 SANlight LED-lamps still hang at 40 cm distance from the top of the plants. The two Q4W-Gen.2 fixtures on the outside are running at 100% (=3 green lights on dimmer ON) and the Q3WL-Gen.2 in the center is dimmed to 80% (=two green lights on dimmer ON). The HUGE size and compact bud structure shows that the plants LOVE the SPECTRUM and the INTENSITY of the SANlight LEDs. Since I use BIOTABS-nutrients I do NOT NEED TO FLUSH the plants! They only got tab-water all the time, therefore it makes no sense to give them more water of it now. All the nutrients in the soil and the plants should be used up by now (that why the plants start to wilt!) and that ensures a smooth smoke later. When you smoke unflushed weed any nutrients left in the plant matter (especially phosphorus (=P)) will create a harsh feeling in your throat and make you cough, therefore its normally of the UTMOST importance to flush your weed before harvesting. Now its only one more week and harvest time is here...yipppiiie

Hello. This is the last pictures of the growing Sweet Zenzation. I'll be cutting them down after a couple of days of dark. I'm pleased with the way this plant grew. Big dense buds and the stock was strong enough to hold up the big buds. The buds have a darker color sort of purplish to them. The smell is pleasant, sweet and candyish. I wonder which fruit'z these Zkittlez tastes like?? : ) I'll cut some taster buds and let them dry while the buds are curing and be ready to make a smoke report when I come back with the harvest report. See ya in a couple of weeks. Chuck.
