Weekly update: August 6th Looking great, major spurt of growth on both girls, #1 (sativa leaning girl) had major final stretch to end off stretch in 3 days (hopefully). And #2 (stockier indica leaning pheno) has had a big increase in flower size in 3 days which is promising, and is also producing a very sweet and tropical fruity gas smell, this is TCP after all! Oh yea and I’m running about 1700 center 500 outer ppfd and tapering down if I see anything but nothing so far all good nice genetics, may drop in the next week even if no signs or symptoms, to prevent and not be too greedy. Now for the not so good… been getting 10% runoff almost every feed, but my runoff of #1 was 3500ppm and pH 4.5 and #2 at 5000ppm and pH 4.5. Been giving around 850 ppm input at pH 6.0, never went over 1000ppm input. So I have to correct with 25% increase in feed volume, 300-400ppm input at pH 7.0 for what I infer to be 2-3 feeds until runoff ppm is significantly lower, and pH is at least 5.5. UPDATE Aug 8: To address the toxic/locked-out root-zone I did a regular feed with runoff (1.5 gal total volume per pot @ 820ppm bloom focus), runoff consisted of pH 4.2-4.5 and 4000-6000ppm... OUCH. I then fertigated with 0.5 gal plain pH 6.5-7 dechlorinated tap water each. I repeated this a total of 3 times, to which the last flush had 3 ml/gal cal-mag. final runoff ppm @ 1000-2000, pH 5.3-5.5. To conclude, I more than likely wasn't achieving enough runoff per scheduled feed, and did not cycle a few plain pH adjusted waterings. I had almost the same thing happen last run with autos, except they were showing signs of lockout, these photo girls are not. I must do a regular watering every 3 feeds, achieve 20% runoff with high ppm feeds, and 15% runoff at least with mild to moderate ppm's. Lesson learned, I hope I get a full run in the future without hiccups like this. UPDATE Aug 9: Big thanks to @00110001001001111O for suggesting i omit the light hanger and hang from the carabiner, I thought I was out of vertical space until this was pointed out.

Harvest was sad I didn't want to cut them down. That said, these baby's are dense as hell and smoke amazing. The water cure worked out well and pulled them out when the PPM dropped back to below 50. Not the best yeild but for what I'm going for it's] effect I already planted my next garden lol. Smoke report will have all the other details.

Week 2 · VEG We are now officially in Week 2 of VEG for the LSD girls. Growth is steady and healthy, leaning more toward controlled development rather than explosive speed — exactly what we want at this stage. This is one of those interesting cases where one sister received ~15 days of VEG, while the others are running 12/12 from seed, giving us a clear visual comparison under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development & Observations • 15-day VEG sister • Already working on her first proper pair of true leaves • Leaf definition is exceptional • Very pronounced leaf outline and corner detailing • Strong, healthy green coloration • Compact, balanced structure so far • 12/12 sisters • Currently on their second pair of true leaves • First small, unshaped leaves are present • Followed by the two longer, well-defined leaves • New smaller leaves are now emerging (1–2 coming in) • Even the smallest plants show remarkable detail and symmetry Across all plants, leaf texture and definition really stand out — LSD is already showing her genetic character early. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment (Same as the rest of the room) • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~75% RH • Light Schedule: • Mixed approach • One plant with extended VEG • Others running 12/12 from seed ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity (PPFD) • Current PPFD: ~500–600 PPFD • This level is being maintained intentionally to: • Support healthy leaf development • Avoid stress on the younger 12/12 plants • Gradually prepare all plants for higher intensity later on This PPFD aligns with the progression board and keeps everything consistent across the documented runs. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Feeding Nutrient Line (Plagron): • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race Solution Details: • pH: ~6.0 • EC / TDS: ~1.0 EC Same recipe, same logic, same controlled approach — consistency is the key here. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect • Continued leaf expansion and increased definition • The 15-day VEG sister will likely start to outpace structurally • 12/12 plants should keep stacking nodes slowly but steadily • Strong foundation building before any visible stretch 🚫 What Not to Expect (Yet) • No explosive vertical growth yet • No heavy feeding response required • No need to push PPFD higher at this stage Patience here pays off later. ⸻ 📝 Final Notes This week is all about detail, balance, and consistency. LSD is responding beautifully to the environment, and even at this early stage, the genetics are clearly expressing themselves through leaf shape, texture, and structure. Everything is right on track.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Hi there! Some more LST is done especially on Orange Sherbet and Wedding Cheeskace. Purple Punch and Frosty Gelato remain small and it is too hot now they were burnt also I removed some leaves. Outside is 30 degrees inside 38 OMG. They are not in my house so just see them once a week harder to look after them... They are flowering also all good hopefully the heat wont damage them that much. Lamp distance is back because it was a bit too close also I guess...

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Punch Pie de RoyalQueenSeeds , que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Hello:) This week was easy again, watered them twice, kept the tops under the net for a few more days and then I just let them grow. I also had to raise the wasabi again, it stopped stretching like a week ago. The sangrias are also developing nicely, they are almost done stretching now. I didn‘t add any nutrients this week, a friend of mine who uses biotabs for years said I should be very careful with adding bio pk 5-8 because he had problems with over fertilizing even when using a very small dose. Since the leaves still look perfect, I‘ll wait a bit. Also the bugs are back, they seem to come in waves but nothing my sticky tape can‘t handle:) Looking forward to next week, the wasabi is small but already starting to pack some nice buds:)

Herzlich Willkommen zurück! Nach Blütewoche 1 und dem wiederkehrenden runterbringen der Triebe unter dass Nett ist nun Zeit, die Pflanze ihre Arbeit tun zu lassen. Ich hab die Pflanze jeden zweiten Tag angepasst, wieder unter das Netz geflochten und entsprechend die Blätter und Triebe unterhalb des Netzes abgeschnitten. Somit kann die Pflanze die Energie in die oberen Triebe leiten und sich prächtig entwickeln. Das ist mein zweiter richtiger Scrog Grow und aus dem ersten habe ich gelernt, dass Mann nur bis Blütewoche 1 runterbinden sollte. Danach ist es wichtig, die Zeit des Stretches quasi auszunutzen um die freigelegten Triebe sich in Ruhe entwickeln zu lassen. 💚

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more room for light. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there was a major change. New growth everywhere, colas started stretching upwards fast. By far the tallest girls in the tent. Her colas are stacking up nice and tight if she keeps that up we'll have some nice dense colas. 😁 Great reaction to the defoliation and 12/12 switch. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

Hey guys :-) All of them except the lemongrass already have their heads sticking out of their stone wool cubes :-) . I'll give the lemongrass a few more days to develop, otherwise I'll add fresh seeds again :-) . The ones that started to take root were repotted in 0.5 l pots with a mix of Canna bio and Canna coco. First they get it enough nutrients from the fresh soil before you start fertilizing with Green House Powder Feeding Bio. The repotted ones were also placed in the heated greenhouse with a hood 👍. Have fun with the update and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ‘Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients 👇🏼 https://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/affiliate/MadeInGermany_PassionGrower 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/product/choco-cheesecake/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Use the coupon code: madeingermany for 10% on all Amsterdam Genetics seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Welcome to week 1 of my New Diary to Rule Them All!!! Here's the line up: 2 - CBD Medi Kush by Spliff Seeds 3 - DinaMed CBD+ by DinaFem 1 - Critical+ by DinaFem 3 - Cream & Cheese CBD by Seedsman 7 - Cherry Blossom CBD Hemp by Elevator Supply Co The 2 CBD Medi Kush plants and 2 of the DinaMed CBD+'s were all started from seed at the same time. All others are clones taken from cuttings from the plants I currently have in flower (the flowering plants are in the video). So the cuttings and seedlings were in my humidity for roughly a month. The first round of cuttings didn't do so well, so I took some more cuttings later when the plants were further into flower. A couple of the cuttings I took further into flower look amazingly good now, tons of nodes, branches, etc. Looking like a little bush. Once all surviving clones/seedlings were healthy enough I transplanted from dixie cups to small pots (I guess around 1 litre). They were transplanted into soil I had been composting and turning for 3-4 weeks. They really responded well to the transplanting and the new soil. Noticeable growth in 48 hours. My plan this grow is to go organic (or as organic as possible). While the soil was composting I added old fan leaves to the mix as well as Recharge, Mr B's Green Trees 'Growth', and Jobe's Organic granular fertilizer. I know, I know, everyone says don't use time release nutes with cannabis. BUT, The Rev said it was fine in his "True Living Organics" book. He actually recommends putting spikes in the flowering pots prior to transplant (I'm planning on trying that too). Recharge and Mr B's Green Trees don't claim to be organic specifically for whatever reason, but the ingredients include pretty much everything The Rev recommends adding to composting soil. Plus I love Recharge, that stuff is great! Organic or not I'll be using Recharge along the way. Here's the setup... First of all, I'll let you know my grow area is in my attic. The previous owners finished the attic with walls lights and even carpeting, but for some reason kept the folding attic stairs. Its pretty a pretty good space, we divide the attic in half. One side for my plants, they other for attic type storage. I have 2 2x4 tents and a larger flowering area (10x12'ish). One of the tents I use for drying only, the other is where I have these babies growing. The babies are currently under a single Viparspectra V300 300W LED. I'm having really good results with Viparspectra LED's. Bang for the buck, Viparspectra is hard to beat. I have a 2nd 300W Viparspectra which is a R300 (more reds) which is better for flowering. I may stick the R300 in the tent as well at some point, but for now the single V300 is doing a great job. In the flowering area I'm running 1000W HPS. The HPS has been kicking ass with the plants in flower now and I'm expecting more of the same with these girls when they are ready for the big time. Side note: I'm running a separate diary for the Spliff Seeds CBD Medi Kush. In that diary I'm just going to focus on the CBD Medi Kush specifically. But I did start the CBD Medi Kush and DinaMed CBD+ seeds at exactly the same time. So, in this diary I will do some comparisons and contrasts between the 2 strains as they grow. So far the DinaMed is taller, but the CBD Medi Kush has beautifully stacked node structure. This looks like its going to be a win-win. I'm also planning on doing an autoflower challenge soon. I want to try 2 plants in the flower room under 12/12 1000W HPS from seed to harvest and 2 other plants in my veg tent under 18/6 300W LED then see what the results are. I have the seeds picked out that I plan on using, but I'll keep that quiet for now in case I change my mind. Please follow and comment away!!! Any tips/tricks regarding organic gardening would be appreciated! 👍

♡ December 7/2020 ♡ Flipped to flower 12/12 yesterday, so they had their first full day and are soooo happy. This has been a weird week for them, I really have to keep an eye on them because they get so fkn thirsty. ♡ I fed 6ml M/G/B on Thursday and molasses, then by Saturday they were dry and droopy, so kicked it to 8ml M/G/B , 4L total water for the 3 girls. ♡ I'm trying really hard to stick to this schedule and hope that my results will be worth it. ♡ Anyways, that's all from me! Keep it sleezy and stay safe. 👽
