Hello Growdiaries 🌱, sorry for the lack of updates since the switch to flower – work kept me super stressed and I just couldn’t find the time. The ladies (2× Frosted Guava & 1× White Raspberry Truffle) are now in week 8 of flower and doing well overall. I’ll probably harvest sometime next week. Since ~5 days I’ve stopped feeding nutrients, just giving plain water. Tomorrow will be the last watering, and then I plan to turn off the lights next Tuesday and harvest on Wednesday/Thursday. Both Frosted Guavas are looking beautiful – one of them even showing a bit of purple. The plant on the right struggled a bit during flower, but the other one is stacking some gorgeous rock-hard buds. The White Raspberry Truffle is also looking very nice and frosty. I’m planning to run both strains again for my next grow. Once I harvest there will be another update, and after drying & curing I’ll post a final update with a smoke report. Happy growing everyone ✌️

5/4 I stupidly watered everything this morning. They were pretty much perfect weight for transplant......then I watered them. Oh well. If that's the worst mistake I make I'll be ecstatic. Went back over and found my 1 gal and 2 of those wierd slanty airports that tapers and holds like a gallon and a half and washed them. I mixed up 12 gallons of soil in a garbage bag and mixed it thoroughly with my gloved hands. It's mixed good. Looking at my plants in sadness thinking, "today could've been the day" and noticed a Special Kush of average size I didn't water that weighed in the 220's. I was happy. I filled the pit arpund a cup before removing it leaving the perfect hole. Mykos and water were poured in. Plant came out of the cup REALLY easy. Suprisingly easy. This wasn't totally dry. I was amazed it came out so easy so I kinda rolled it around looking at the roots. I started lowering it in the hole and I felt something break away but it webt DIRECTLY into the hole made for it. I tucked some soil around it but it was pretty tight from packing it around the empty cup. Didn't take a picture but the plant is fine. That was an average size plant too. So I may have to give some of the strains I popped later a little longer before I transplant. After everything's been transplanted I'll need to change lighting again. I think I'll open the window and use the hps and the l.e.d on the days and nights cThat's these girls won't be hardening off. I so wanna go plant those others but my intuition tells me to wait until morning and it's been serving me well. A couple can stay in cups longer. Not much longer but still. 5/5 Transplanted everything but two this morning into 1 gals with 1/2 happy frog half ocean forest. Mykos and water used during transplant. Found put the l.e.d was on for 24hrs for a while. I made sure the timer switch was ON but it was a different cord plugged in. Oh well. All transplants went perfect. I'm picking up an adapter for the outlet so I can plug the power strip into the timer and only use one timer. I had to hang the 150watt hps back up with the 1,000 watt equivelant 105 true watts. I hope this lighting setup works. Chemdog #4 and One MK Ultra will be transplanted later today or later in the morning. I also opened the shade to the south facing window. Shits getting real. EDÌT: I FINISHED TRANSPLANTING THE LAST TWO PLANTS AND PICKED UP THE ADAPTER SO I COULD HANG THE HPS NEXT TO THE L.E.D. THEY WERE FIBE WHILE I WAS GONE. EASIEST TRANSPLANTS EVER. THEY ALL LOOKED PERKY AND HAPPY SIX OR SEVEN HOURS POST TRANSPLANT. I OPENED THE CURTAIN TO (SOUTH FACING WINDOW) BUT I MADE SURE THE PLANTS WEREN'T IN THE DIRECT LIGHT. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE. LAST TIME I HAD SEEDLING IN DIRECT LIGHT. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR BUT IM HAPPY. EDIT 2. Went back over to meditate by the stream and do my qigong. It's 75 and BEAUTIFUL today. The girls will be going out for a few hours on days like this. Anyway when I went in I was surprised to see everything looking nice and happy with praying leaves. Nothing is in direct sunlight but damn that window let's in a lot of light. 5/6 Girls LOVED the transplant! They seem to be all happy. No stress. Easiest transplant I've done. Leaves are praying upwards so I think the lights are approx tje right distance. They'll be going outside soon to harden off. It's been in the 70s but it's rainy now. I'll play it by ear according to weather. I'll continue to monitor lighting and I may lower the hps. 5/7 The soil was super dry when I went over this morning. Everything looked awesome though. I used about a half gallon watering. I don't want to water to run off. I want to keep the nutes IN the soil. It's also easier to fix an undet watered plant than an over watered one. It came out to about a half gaterade bottle on the biggest and half that on the smallest. I'll gradually increase water after I monitor the response. The water sat on the soil for quit a while so they definitely needed it. Looking good so far. 5/8 Soil lookeddry this morning. I think I'm going to up the water. Last time I dod seeds I gave like a pink. Some plants still had a little dampness where I watered that I could see. Others looked dry but happy. I gave the REAL dry bigger ones a small circle around the rootball. Just in case. I'm thinking of lowering the hps slightly so it's at least level with tje L.E.D. That window being open gives tons of light. If u moved them slightly left they'd get DIRECT sun most of the time. I'll be bringing them outside soon to start hardening them off. EDIT: WENT TO CHECK THE GIRLS AT 5 TO MAKE SURE THEY WERENT DRIED OUT. THESE GIRLS ARENT JUST GETTING BIGGER BY THE DAY THEYRE LOOKING BIGGER FROM MORNING TO NIGHT! ITS BEEN RAINING LIKE CRAZY BUT WE WILL HAVE GREAT WEATHER NEXT WEEK AND I'LL BE BRINGING THEM OUTSIDE. I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH GROWTH SO FAR. ILL PROBABLY HST (TOP/FIM) AT THE NEXT NODE. I WANT THEM TO SETTLE IN NICELY BEFORE STRESSING THEM. 5/9 I may have stupidly uploaded doubles of pictures from today. Soil LOOKED real dry. I gave the plants their first real watering. I still went light. Almost a gallon with all plants. I know many say I should be watering to runoff but I want to keep the nutes in the soul as long as I can I don't want to overwater. I always start out careful. Once they show they xan tolerate it I'll increase water next time. This weekend it will be raining but after that we are getting some real good weather and I'll he taking the girls out to begin hardening off. I also need to take a look and top/FIM the plants now that they are settled. Also need to wash grow bags and sanitize outside. 5/10 It's pouring out. Horrible night and morning but this is about cannabis. After the watering ALL the plants shot up in size! Substantially. Leaves are over the sides of containers. I think I'm somewhere close with the watering schedule. I may bring the hps light down a little. I also NEED to start HST. I need to FIM and/or top these girls. Unfortunately I've been dealing with medical problems of my wife so I haven't got to it. If I get some sleep I may do something this morning or in the afternoon.

The plants completely stopped from going up, but the buds are getting bigger and the smell is stronger and stronger. I continued to play classic music for one hour everyday. Did anybody tried this before? Being the first experiment I am very happy with the results so far.

I grew two plants in one 4ltr pot and harvested 31grams! Don't put two plants in a 4ltr pot 😂🤣 Quality is awesome I love this strain, shame it's not more but it was an experiment anyway.

La planta se estiró muy rapido y con la luz empezó a crecer hacia los lados en la noche la saco para nutrir y cada vez absorbe más agua trato de darle una vez a la semana alimento y agregó agua cuando el sustrato se seca

Well, not much has changed, so it's kind of like 'same same but different' around here. The plants are still vibing, doing their thing, just with a little more oomph this week.

Ok, so I forgot to take any pics on week two and holiday time week 3 came up real fast. so we are going to skip over any of the week two details. just watered em and they grew. This week we did a nice little transplant into their final 2gal pots. Fortified with a bunch of amendments and Acti-Sol, everything is listed in the video. Any question just let me know. I don't age my medium at all and I think I should start doing this to avoid some other things, I just find it hard to do it in winter time indoors as soil can be stinky with amendments and I like it to stay in the tent under the carbon filter. Medium I used is 40% coir, 30% perlite, 20% compost, 10% vermiculite and 10% worm castings. Then the amendments are added into that at the rate of 30-60ml per 1Gal of medium. This batch has Gaia 4-4-4, Gaia Insect Frass, Giaia Diatomaceous Earth, Gaia Rock Dust, Acti-Sol Seaweed Meal, Acti-Sol Shrimp/Crab Meal, Acti-Sol 4-3-2, Acti-Sol 4-6-8 and Bokashi. Nice little mix, water it in with a bit of magnesium and microbes dissolved into the water. The bokashi should help break everything down and make a bit of a acidic environment for all the meals and rock dust to become available. Roots looked good, not a dense as some runs but still nice. I feel the soil might be a bit hot so will expect some burnage on them hopefully its nothing to crazy. Will ph down with a mix of citric, malic and ascorbic acids. They are in a rate of something like 50-60%/40-30%/5-10%, its written down in my of my notes just can't find the pad ATM. Also more videos vs anything this week. I like em more but processing them is annoying AF. Side note, my lights timer was on 12/12 not 16/8 so it explains why they went into bloom, switch it back and will top the plants next week one they start to reverse their ways and get comfortable in the new pots. Also got ride of the chive seed start as it was looking sad, plus I got a bunch of European chive varieties in the mail yesterday and want to try them out. see if they really have any different taste and what ones I like better. Till next week.

🌙 Week 12 from Seed / Week 8 Flower — “The Dark Lady Rising” What a journey this has been. From that single seed born under a 12/12 rhythm, she’s proven that beginnings don’t define limits — they define character. If you’re just joining us, this White Widow from Zamnesia started life under an 11/13 shuttle — a true from-seed flower cycle. While most plants grow before they bloom, she began her story in full awareness of time, learning to balance energy from day one. The 12/12 rhythm teaches a plant to optimize every second of light — to focus not on size, but on efficiency, structure, and density. 🌿 This Week — The Transformation Deepens We’re now in week 8 of flower, and this girl is simply breathtaking. Her buds are dense, coated in frost, and carrying tones of deep green to near-purple, whispering that a darker finish is coming. The trichomes look like they’ve been dusted in starlight — thick, sticky, and reflecting light like ice in a warm glow. The aroma is growing stronger, rich with that unmistakable 90s soul — earthy, spicy, and nostalgic. Every breath feels like opening a time capsule from the golden age. The structure remains compact, balanced between strength and grace. Every cola is firm, symmetrical, and promising exceptional development over the final stretch. 💧 Feedings & Care She continues on her well-calibrated Aptus + Plagron routine: Aptus Regulator for balance and resilience CalMag Boost for structure All-in-One Liquid to sustain her metabolism Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation to enhance flavor, weight, and resin Even with nutrients in her pre-built soil, these light feedings help her push to full potential — especially under the demanding 12/12-from-seed schedule. 🌞 Environment & Observations The room continues to ride steady despite the season’s warmth — around 28–30°C, with humidity hovering near 55–60%. The VPD sits around 1.4–1.6, right in the sweet spot for flower stacking and trichome expansion. Lighting, managed through Trolmaster with Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs, keeps her under a balanced spectrum with Emerson effect red cycles — 15 minutes before and after lights-on for maximum photosynthetic efficiency. 📸 Photography & Documentation Captured through the loyal Sony a6000, alternating between macro and standard lenses to highlight her best angles — from the full canopy’s dark silhouette to the icy micro-world of her trichomes. Each frame tells a different part of her story. 🌺 What to Expect & What Not In the coming weeks, we expect: Even deeper color tones — likely deep violet or burgundy Continued resin production, especially on sugar leaves Aroma intensification and the start of natural fade What not to expect: Big size changes. She’s already done stretching — it’s all density and maturity now. Harsh stress reactions — this girl has adapted perfectly to her rhythm. 🌍 Gratitude & Vibes To everyone reading, following, commenting — the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new wanderers — thank you for being part of this journey. To Zamnesia, for the genetics that bridge generations. To Aptus and Plagron, for the nourishment that sustains life. To Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Trolmaster, for the precision and control that bring consistency to creativity. And to this beautiful queen herself — for showing us what happens when you trust nature’s rhythm and let the light guide her story.
