What’s up my diplomats, all good?
Here’s the latest grow update — I’m super excited for the next few weeks.
Let’s get to it:
---
* **July 23, 2025**
My pH meter arrived. After calibration, just like my buddy @FishWhistler pointed out, the pH was a bit off. I also got some pH down, and now I’m watering with water adjusted to around 6.5.
Result: all the plants started showing much better growth, and the two that were struggling are now clearly bouncing back. Huge thanks @FishWhistler!
Plants 1 and 2, which were moved to bigger pots a week ago, are looking way better now.
---
* **July 26, 2025**
I transplanted plant 3 into a bigger pot. Since the move, it’s shown clear improvement. With a richer soil mix, it should thrive even more now.
---
* **July 28, 2025**
Before lights out, I applied a preventive spray made of water, andiroba oil, and potassium silicate to protect from pests.
Also did a TOP cut on plant 3.
At sunrise, the girls looked beautiful! Some of them have droopy tips because the photo was taken before watering.

Hi !
10 days after i switch to 12h/12h they have grown well. Trunk are massive and roots are impressive, they continue to grow, i guess they'll colonize the whole tank ^^
Plants are drinking a lot and EC is lower everyday. i have to add nutrient 2 or 3 times a week to increase EC to 1.2/1.3 again ( EC drop from 1.3/1.4 to 0.8 in 2 days )
I wonder if I had to cut some leaves to light the bud sites because there are lot of leaves ( it's a dense bush )
What do you think ?
See you next week 🙏

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track
Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers

Plant is stretching a bit with some appearance of Pistils, started bloom nutes for pre-flowering, but still has a way to go. Plant is quite low as I trained her that way (accidentally 😅) hopefully won’t affect yields too much.
Update following question: general consensus is that light meter app is unreliable so Im using the PAR chart from the grow light as a measurement.
Boost Buddy CO2 bag added to the tent with a good effect.
Plant seems to be doing well in all, one browned tip and no other seemed to appear.

not been a good grow. but it's ok. all part of learning process. i think the soil i used this time is not good. but one of the gals died. she sprouted late and slow growth and just never bounced back. probably overwatered as well. im not sure. but its ok. 2 of the gals doing well. another 2 just kinda slow.

Nothing much to report this week, I expect there to be more progress next week. All I have done is taken a few leaves off and watered with de chlorinated water at 6.5 ph

Starting to get some nice purple colours on #4 buds and Ozz leaves! Not super visible on the video but looking really good.
Also had an unpleasant surprise the other morning, due to wind gusts the support went out the pot and #4 straight bent to 90 degrees. Looks like it happened around 3/4am and I only saw it around 9am, so she got pretty roughened up but no actual damage to report. Same for Dorel, a brush fell on a lower branch but didn’t break anything.
The learning here as it is the second time it happens, both time just before I water them: I suspect drier medium is less efficient in holding the plant when there is a lot of wind.
Well well! In just 2 days she went from little purple to actually the whole plant changing color. Curious to see where it’ll go!

As my second Viperspectra light hasn't arrived yet, I've temporarily supplemented with my old red/blue LED grow lights (likely best for veg only) from China.

Been 7 days since last pictures.
Pheno #4 was eliminated do to the fact she reversed (hermied)
I believe that an outside light was at fault. ( lemon Thai) genetics maybe coming through.
Others have not really been affected but pheno #2,3 may have been delayed a bit but no sign of hermies just not as developed as pheno #1(Hulk).
Going to mix up a flowering tea (AACT) fungal dominant.
Also topdress with Gypsum, and Diatomatious Earth before tea is applied.
Gypsum
Gypsum is calcium sulfate (CaSO4). Refined gypsum in the anhydrite form (no water) is 29.4 percent calcium (Ca) and 23.5 percent sulfur (S). Usually, gypsum has water associated in the molecular structure (CaSO4·2H2O) and is approximately 23.3 percent Ca and 18.5 percent S (plaster of paris).
Diatomatious Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a mineral-based pesticide and its composition is approximately 3 percent magnesium, 5 percent sodium, 2 percent iron, 19 percent calcium and 33 percent silicon, along with several other trace minerals

Day 49: last day of nutrition for the fast eddy, which seems to be almost ready already.
Stoppage of pk 13/14, day 49.
day 50: 2 week rinse for all.
⚠️ My led lamp is a Prima Klima - LED Shuttles 6 dimmable 240W, I am very satisfied with this lamp (check out my other diaries). which I recommend, but which unfortunately is not in the list proposed on growdiaries

The end has come. The summits are nice and dry and all week long they remained in the closet in the dark with perfect humidity values. The air recirculation was constant in fact everything is dried properly and not even in a long time.
The tops remained nice and compact and cleaning them after drying them kept them much nicer to look at. I put everything in the glass jars with the Boveda bags of 64% humidity and every day I open them 5 minutes in the morning and evening. In a few weeks everything will be perfect, you can already taste the difference from day to day.
The leaves and branches that I have left from the cleaning I left them for a night in the freezer and I used them later to make the extract.
Everything went better than I imagined both in yield and quality. in fact I am very satisfied with my work and I hope to learn more and more.

Week 10 for GMO auto by atlasseed
Both the indoor & outdoor auto (outdoor was mostly indoor expect last 2/3 weeks i think?)
Anyway they are both drying, my wife & I had a tester smoke of the outdoor plant & both had uncontrollable laughing fits.. genuine laugher it was a refreshing high yet my face hurt after😂
The indoor smaller plant definitely crushed it in the looks department way chunkier, the way the outdoor one finished in 42+ sun probably has a lot to do with the looks deference.
Will update on smoke report etc when everything is dried.
Lets find out if she's getting growth again or not😇.

DAY 53
Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too.
DAY 54
FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!!
1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too.
So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one).
Day 56
Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development.
Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫).
Hope these 7 make it till the end.
PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be coming along nicely and flowering stretch has come to a end . I cut some of the lower branches that were carrying some flower because there was no way they were going to develop on time with the higher branches because of lack of light penetration at that lower level and since nothing well happened to those lower branches she can start concentrating her effort and energy on to the higher buds.
Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

This was my first ever grow and I am very pleased. The plant seemed easy to read, and although I still made lots of mistakes with the nutrients, it still seemed to thrive. The smell was strong during the grow, but it was a weird musty smell. I thought it could be mildew, but I had 5 fans in a very small grow space so I think that is unlikely. I kept the humidity around 45-55 during veg and targeted 40 during flower. The buds didn’t have enough time to grow as fat as they probably could have, and the nutrients during flower may have been low on some of the important budding nutrients. I also think there may have been borderline nitrogen toxicity during mid-flower.
I dried her at 55% RH and around 70 degrees. After trimming and jarring, the true smell finally came out. I believe this is one of the best smelling strains I have had after also having the same strain from a medical dispensary. It smells wonderful! Going to cure for 2 weeks and then give it a taste.
The total weight was 3.2 ounces of dry herb and 2.2 ounces of good looking shake.

Die Blueberry hat überall schön viel Zucker gebildet und die buds sind schön dick ich bin mal gespannt wie die Ernte aussieht wenn sie fertig ist
