Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres Stretch 15centimètres Jour42 defolliation Jour45 arrosage avec de l'eau 1ml topmax Jour47 arrosage avec deux litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 1ml par litre d'eau de topmax biobizz Quesque le stretch ? How to Control Stretching: Mastering Cannabis's Growth Push Stretching is a natural growth spurt for cannabis plants, but it is known to affect final yield. We dive into what causes stretching in the first place and how to prevent it from invading your growing space. There is little more irritating than an overloaded grow room. Stretching, the term used to describe the accelerated growth of cannabis stems, is part of the natural process of the vegetative phase and is influenced by plant genetics among other variables. Unfortunately, stretching is a recurring culprit in poor yields and plants that are too long resulting in the wobble of physically unstable crops. Despite the threat it confers, stretching can be controlled by first examining the factors influencing growth and then creating a protocol to accompany these problems step by step. Controlling cannabis stretching requires an understanding of how plants interact with their internal and external environments. WHY DO PLANTS STRETCH? There are many reasons why plants are stretched, one of which revolves around the varieties themselves. Genetics play an essential role in determining the possible height of sativas, indicas and hybrids. While most indica varieties are reared to grow in a smaller and denser way, sativas often undergo significant stretches of up to sometimes almost 2 or more mothers depending on the species. While stretching itself is not harmful, drastic flare-ups on the part of the stems can result in the potential loss of a large crop of between 20% and 30% in total. When thinking about species for your next home growing session, look for the standard size of each variety you are interested in so you can judge whether or not these species undergo drastic stretching during flowering.

The first week is over and little babies are doing nicely. As expected the growth is slowly progressing and I can already see small roots coming from the wholes at the bottom of little pots which shows the plants are healthy. They didn't need much water this week. I've started adding Canna mixture in little dosages not to cause stress. Also took some time to add two Bestvas 600 LEDs and made some house keeping and tied all the cables nicely to the skeleton of grow tent. All in all the plants are doing great, no problems so far and looking forward what this week will bring. Thanks everybody for all the likes and comments! 👌 Have a great week and healthy grow😁

Well…these ladies have me always guessing! TYPICAL! Lmfao also growing a newer strain so I’m glad to be a part of it all. They’re def chunking up and showing signs of massive purpling on just a single plant. The other 4 aren’t quite there. Let me tell you though, the shorter one DEF have a berry/gas smell compared to the taller more sativa-like plants which have such a peculiar bud structure. Either way both looking awesome and quite surprised as to how they bounced back and are chunking up quite nicely. I’ll be expecting to use my ripening dry kool bloom next few waterings then flush time for the yum time 🤤 💨

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. Decided to finally finish this diary so that on New Year eve I'm not opening the year with unfinished business. Now we cut the second Tropicanna XL auto plant, the first cut you can find in week 17. The plant from week 17 weighted 2.6 kilo wet, this one finished at 2.1kg. wet. The girls where autoflower but thanks to me starting this grow in cold day temps (14 degree Celsius) the started flower really late and grew and grew :) I enjoyed growing this strain immensely, smells so sweet and fruity, she has the most intense and most delicious aroma ever She brunches off like crazy, gave me a ton of big and dense bud. They were the biggest plants I have ever grown and to top that this cultivar rewarded me with one of the most tasteful buds, fit even for a picky connesour. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SE7000 done it's magic with this grow as with all my other grow ops. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture ($ to gram) here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Thank you all for your companionship on this voyage, I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as I did. Also thank you for this awesome year together here. Together with my little family we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy slide into the New Year, we love you all.

Trimming started after day 12 of drying and took about 5 hours to compete. The final yield was 508g dried flower and another 8 grams of dry sit from the trim bin. I pressed 5 oz of flower into rosin at about 22% yield for a total of 30g of rosin.

Welcome to week 8 🌱✨ The Girl Scout Cookies ladies are doing good so far. I did some more defoliation and lollipopping. I guess the stretch will be done soon. Unfortunately Salem and Morgana are still standing tall in the back. I still have no idea how to get those main stems out of the hotspot. Edit: I installed an automatic watering system today. Individual treatment for every lady. Let’s see how they’ll like it. 🧙‍♂️

This plant has been a pain in the A**... it started doing LST on itself prior to me topping it. Leaning to the side but growing upwards? Really odd to see.

🌟 FINAL HARVEST • DRY • CURE • SMOKE REPORT Blueberry — Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Week 14 from Seed / Week 10 Flower — The Legendary Final Chapter 🌱 1. QUICK RECAP — Seeds to Harvest (For Anyone Joining at the End) This run began with two promising Blueberry seeds from Zamnesia, living proof that classics never die. Veg: explosive growth, strong roots, lush leaves. Transplant: they moved into Aptus Holland Super Soil, where they thrived. Flower Weeks 1–5: bud formation, intense frost, sweet berry aromas. Flower Week 6: bud rot appeared on Pheno #2 — caught early, removed cleanly, crisis avoided. Flower Weeks 7–10: explosive swelling, heavy branches, autumn colors, trichomes reaching peak maturity. Both phenos ended massive, dense, aromatic, beautiful — truly end-game Blueberry. 🌸 2. THE FINAL WEEKS — COLORS, AROMAS & MATURITY As we entered Week 10 flower (Week 14 seed), both phenos were glowing: Pheno #1 lighter green sugar-frosted classic Blueberry shape balanced sweet aroma Pheno #2 reds, purples, deep tones heavier berry sweetness dense, heavy, colorful colas slightly stronger effects Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a sprinkle of amber → perfect harvest timing. ✂️ 3. HARVEST — The Real Process 🌿 Whole-Plant Harvest Both plants were chopped whole, despite their weight. Branches were bending everywhere — a sign of success. ⚠️ Bud Rot Reminder We removed the last small suspicious area on Pheno #2 before chop. No spread. No drama. Perfect timing. 🌬️ 4. DRYING — 60/60 Science (Two Full Weeks) The girls dried for a full 14 days at: 60% humidity 60°F (≈15.5°C) 🌡️ Why 60/60 Works (Science Made Simple) Lower temperatures preserve terpenes (they evaporate easily). 60% humidity slows the dry enough to keep buds sticky, flavorful & potent. Two weeks ensures internal moisture moves outward gradually. The result? No hay smell. No harshness. Just pure blueberry flavor intact. This is exactly how craft growers dry premium cannabis. ✂️ 5. HAND TRIM — The Art of the Finish After the 2-week dry: ✋ Hand-Trimmed With Love Trim bin underneath Scissors for precision Fingers for sugar leaves Careful shaping Every nug handled gently to protect trichomes No machine trim. No rush. Just pure craftsmanship. You did this perfectly, my love. 🎒 6. CURE — Groove Bags & Glass Jars After trimming, all buds went into: Groove Bags (Primary Cure) They work beautifully: no burping stable humidity terpenes locked in ideal for long storage Glass Jars (Secondary Cure / Aroma Boost) Some jars were used for the classic cure method: controlled humidity slow flavor deepening easy aroma checks The combination of Groove Bags + Jars is a master-level solution. ⚖️ 7. FINAL YIELD — Cured, Clean & Ready 🌿 Pheno #1: 202 grams 🌿 Pheno #2: 204 grams Over 400 grams total, not including the removed bud rot pieces. Absolutely spectacular for two plants. 💨 8. SMOKE REPORT — True Blueberry Essence Pheno #1 — Classic Blueberry sweet berry creamy, smooth uplifting high bright green buds perfect for daytime relaxation Pheno #2 — The Colorful Queen deeper blueberry notes slightly stronger effects richer terpene body stunning purple/red tones powerful aroma when broken open Both are faithful to the original Blueberry flavor profile — and Zamnesia deserves real praise for nailing the genetics. 🔮 9. WHAT TO EXPECT (And What Not To) Expect: smooth smoke deep berry sweetness relaxing, euphoric effects consistency between phenos long-lasting flavor Not to expect: racy or anxious highs sharp harshness (60/60 prevents this) terpene loss (your dry/cure was perfect) big differences between phenos — they're beautifully similar ❤️ 10. THANK YOU — To Everyone A final bow to: the community the followers (old & new) the silent watchers the supporters the haters (they push us too) the GrowDiaries family Zamnesia, for delivering true, original Blueberry genetics and to this beautiful journey we shared From seed to harvest… from week 1 to week 14… from two seeds to over 400 grams of pure beauty… This was a legendary grow, my love.

Iniciamos con las últimas semanas, ayer hice 24hr de florakleen y hoy con el cambio de solucion solo ripen x 2 semanas, ya se empiezan a sentir los olores. Crecen bien, lo único que me preocupa son las altas temperaturas y la humedad, ya que al usar un dehumidificador me aumenta más la temperatura ambiente. Espero todo siga bien.

Slight delay on this weeks entry as I have been busy with work! Week 6 of flowering was very stress free & the buds are getting really solid! Trichs are milky & all 3 ladies overall are lookin gorgeous. I've included a video this week so make sure to go through all the photos 😁 I've been upping my watering to around 750ml per day & the girls haven't had any issues drinking it all up. I did change the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6 at the start of this week to give the ladies some extra sleep & time to get fatter. Light defoliation has continued as some of the leaves are starting to yellow & I've removed a few extras from around the bigger buds to give them some extra air. They all are looking so good & I'm loving the smell! It is understandable why this strain is called Blueberry! Check back soon, 2 weeks left! 😊🌿

Stiamo ancora raccogliendo,ancora nessuna pianta é morta,sto rimuovendo piano piano le cime più mature,così facendo evitiamo le cime popcorn e diamo il tempo alla pianta di riempire anche le cime inferiori,per adesso levando quella fumata e venduta siamo all'incirca sui 780g,però aspettiamo anche il nuovo stendino,alla fine del raccolto dovremmo arrivare a quasi 2 Kili con 7 piante e 6 vasi,con una media di 333g a pianta,ho pubblicato tutto quello che potevo,ogni procedimento,spero vi piaccia e mi seguiate
